The New York Times should publish this as its front page tomorrow, with malicious edits and all, and address it below.

There is ZERO reason to believe this.

Or at the least there is ZERO reason to believe it in the way that it was interpreted.

To route all traffic through U.S. servers?

Oh yeah, sorry about that.

There is no way more people are moving into the United States.

2025 is VERY different than previous years. Almost no one wants to move to the U.S..

Jesus fucking Christ. I swear that there are bots to repost the exact same thing you post.

This is NOT the time to harp on that particular thing.

Those people are going to be some of the easiest potential allies to make, and this is an all hands on deck situation. We NEED them.

Posting this shit benefits the people opposing the idea that the comment is supposedly trying to support.

When he's done with the Palestinians, his love for the Jewish people and Israel will evaporate.

I read today that one of his secretaries said that China had miscalculated, because China exports roughly four times as much to the U.S. as the U.S. imports to China, and he said that that makes the U.S. a lot stronger than China, that it would give the U.S. a better bargaining position.

That's like a wealthy family in a small town saying they can outlast the grocery store if the grocery store decides to stop selling food to you.

I mean, good luck with that...

The USA is the country where you have no say in whether you get your own healthcare, but you sure get a lot of opportunities to deny needed healthcare to other people!

They are free to leave the US and stop empowering our enemy with their taxes.

Oh you think so, hmm?

You think that a lot of us haven't been looking at every country that might be worthwhile, including spending years learning additional languages, researching our ancestry several generations deep to find countries where we might be able to get ancestry, applying for literally dozens to hundreds of jobs on literally all other continents, and even taking IELFS training and tests and looking at industry changes for jobs just to be able to get out?

It's not as easy as you think. Even Canada and Mexico have strict requirements that a lot of the people in the U.S. can't meet.

Literally the closest comparison is the people who wanted to flee Nazi Germany.

Get some perspective. The people who you are complaining about are on the same side as you. We don't want anything to happen to Canada, and if something does happen between the U.S. and Canada, we will be each other's best hope.

What international alternatives exist for YouTube? And I understand RedNote as an alternative for TikTok, but YouTube fills a little bit of a different niche.
