News from International Perspectives

[TASmith]

This thread is dedicated to the posting of anything newsworthy (i.e. effecting large numbers of people) from sources outside the US. The intent is to see how the US is viewed by the outside world.

RULES
1. No posting of irrelevant crap, such as "man saves dog from shark"
2. Debating what's said is fine, but don't derail this thread! For long debates on one issue, please send private messages.

Okay, to start off, here's an article whose language was strong enough to make me laugh, even if most of what's said is ... "true". It's by Pravda, a Russian tabloid:

Not again, Smith. This is third time you've posted a globalist thread and mandated I can't tell people about my story.

Why is the US so important to be constantly discussed on this forum? Seriously, you cant turn around without bumping into another US thread.

I dont want to step on anyones toes or anything, discuss anything you like. Just wondering.

Well they either talk about america or how depressed they are and that they just .. can't.. find... motivation.

From those two, I prefer this one to be honest.

It doesn't have to be about the US, but it should be noteworthy. The idea is to help us Americans see more outside the box.
