china is the best at making the usa look way cooler than it is
We always wish we’re as good as our opponent’s propaganda
I mean, that’s a kinda-lovable looking Darth Vader.
Here’s a Danish Nazi poster that has America as a four-armed giant. Two of the arms are black, and one is carrying a noose. There’s a Klu Klux Klan hood on his head. One hand is wielding a record via which America spreads culture. Another a bag of money with a Jewish guy hanging on the back. The upper torso is a cage with two black people dancing the jitterbug in it. One arm, in a prison sleeve and with a dangling manacle, is carrying a Thompson submachine gun single-handed. One arm is playing a drum, which makes up the lower torso. There’s a beauty pagent leg, and the other is a big industrial tube dropping a bomb, presumably representing American industrial munitions output. Despite pre-dating NCD by about seventy years, it’s got aircraft wings and two scantily-clad women, one blowing a trumpet and the other waving an American flag, resting on the shoulders. And a Jewish crotch-flap.
Italy had a propaganda poster with a kilometer-high skeletal Statue of Liberty.
Ah yes, the power to… defend against attacks from other nations. Such evil.
For anyone who isn’t aware, there are no provisions in the NATO charter for cooperative offensive actions. None. NATO is not a military alliance, it is a defensive pact only.
Yeah but arent you gonna attack me when I defensively invade some sovereign country?!!
Checkmate
\s
Well we don’t live in a video game so we can use NATO to attack, like with Libya. It’s our alliance, we’ll do what we want!
I’m mostly pro NATO but that is litteraly the worst single argument possible anyone ever made. Here’s a one word answer that totally shred its credibility: Lybia.
It’s only for defense until we decide to invade a country… but anyway, the real strength of NATO as a weapon is political influence. It allows the US to impose their security objectives to all the other members, and currently their main competitor is China and that was transcribed into NATO’s official strategy in 2022 with the stated objective to expend into the Indian and Pacific ocean specifically to counter them.
Can’t really expect them to like it.
Less of this serious posting, and more shitposting folks.

Defending the middle east against people who own the oil 😎
He is Justice, not as Justice as others but still respectable.
In difference to china wich is best described as this:
Little did they realize that America thought this was awesome. Cringey but awesome.
Not sure why the North Atlantic matters to China.
Liberty Prime Knows Why.

Ah yes, Darth Vader, known for how unpopular and unlikable he is.
… I don’t think you’re supposed to like Darth Vader in the way you’re implying.
Man, I hate being part of the greatest military alliance known to mankind. Suffering from success!
Honestly? Love it.
Bro darth vader is fucking lit, like i know hes supposed to the villain. But like the first time you see him in star wars, he legit is wipeing a rebel ship. Also james earl jones was lit as shit, and a really nice person. So like congrats china? You made america look more metal?? Great propaganda, but not for china LMAO
Bro stop stealing the credit from those poor stormtroopers
How can we be sure that isn’t Liberia?
It’s got one star. Doubtless one of Liberia:
Chile
…or Texas.
Or possibly Puerto Rico
The empire was always a depiction of the USA.
Now that you mention it I wonder if Lucas made sure to only buy American ship models for making the Star Destroyers and Death Star?
