FIFA members should anounce that they will boycot Football World Cup event if USA does not guarantee respect and safety of the supporters that will travell in USA.
The US has Europe under its control for the mist part. That's very likely to change in the future but for now they are dependent on the US military and other resources.
And you'd be morons to believe any promises Trump makes that do not wildly enrich him & his cronies..
They should boycott even if the USA does give guarantees. What good is a guarantee under this administration?
they should boycott it just to crush the us economy.
IIRC, that would backfire. FIFA doesn't help the economy of the countries that host, it's just a financial drain overall.
how tf did statesia get the world cup
A combination of two things. First, after losing a previous bid to Qatar, the USA started arresting FIFA members for corruption. Second, FIFA recently expanded the tournament to need more stadiums and the USA is one of few countries that can host at a low cost.
It was decided years ago when the lunatics weren't running the asylum.
I was thinking less corrupt statesia and more statesia doesn't give a shit about football
🤑🤑🤑
James Donald Bowman is a perfidious shithead.
And I will use every opportunity to deadname his ass.
Powertripping?
I can't imagine any other reason except wanting like to be left alone.
I'd say I'll be boycotting any advertisers but in reality most are american and are already on the list anyway
Germany has the opportunity to do something really funny
Invade Poland?
that's smart just make your biggest tourist event even less desirable
I keep seeing people on the right say, "No one has a sense of humor anymore." There's nothing wrong with my sense of humor. This shit isn't funny. You have to have the mental maturity of a twelve year-old to find it funny.
Bullies think they're the funniest people.
And he’ll steal your bike
It's going to happen.
Absolute death worshipping ghouls
Good one JD keep making those jokes the tourists love them.
The way Nazis would've joked about "gas leaks" in the chambers or some shit. It's like they want to be as despicable as they can be.
Hahahahaha good joke Mr. Vice President of the "Free World"
Fucking conservative fascists
And by 'detain', they mean arrest. And by 'jokes', they mean get your coat.
"Jokes."
Wow, right out loud in the open. I wonder if they'll make it a slogan, like MAGA. "Go home or talk to Noem!"
God, this world is bleak.
Jesus Christ they're already fucking up US citizens right to be here, what makes anyone think this will go smoothly?
Visiting the US right now seems like a very bad idea
Trump and Vance are just mirrors of american society... And they are huge assholes for sure. Make of that what you will.
People are downvoting this but it’s the truth.
As an American it's another reason why I think we should be barred from hosting world sporting events. Also why the Olympics should be moved. The US is not to be trusted.
No, they need to go ahead and go through with it, and then watch their Olympians get detained by the American government, and the backlash would be glorious
Original nazis also had their Olympics, would be unfair to not allow that for trump /s
For real. If I wasn’t already here, I wouldn’t come to America for any reason. The odds of being detained and / or hassled have skyrocketed. Of course it’s exponentially worse if your skin color is on the darker side…
Fuck I hate this government.
At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if they detained me on the border for being too white. It's suspicious! What am I hiding?!
I don't think I'll be visiting your beautiful country in the next few years unfortunately.
Jokes...jokes....
They don't fucking joke, they are laughing when they say it because they are evil maniacal Nazis.
Such great comedy.
Funny, it doesn't feel great from the inside.
To make American great again implies one of two things.
- It needs to get worse before it gets better.
- It currently is not, or was not great.
It clearly implies that America was once great.
It does not imply that America has to get any worse.
Anyway, that's all moot. It's really all just racist dog whistling.
I have been to the United States a handful of times.
The two things that went through my head each time:
My odds of getting shot just went up.
No matter what, don't get injured, and if you do, get your ass back to Canada.
That's the undercurrent of uneasiness I experienced before Trump.
Now the United States has the Gestapo snatching people off the streets.
I do not want to go there again, and would advise anyone to stay away from the United States.
I live on the other side of the world, so my chances of going to the US are much lower than yours. Nonetheless, I have always maintained the same opinion.
It is not worth going to the United States. If I say the wrong thing or step in the wrong place, I'll be shot or sued or both, probably in that order. And if I'm injured, I'll be financially ruined.
If my employer wishes me to go to France or Switzerland or Japan, who they do business with regularly, I will be willing to go. But if they ask me to go to the United States, who they also do business with, I will refuse even at risk of losing my job, which I like very much. I believe it is one of the most dangerous "civilised", "western" countries now, at least to outsiders.
If I say the wrong thing or step in the wrong place, I'll be shot or sued or both, probably in that order
People really do be having the most wild and stereotyped views of other countries, it's quite funny to see
And if I'm injured, I'll be financially ruined.
Just don't pay the bill.
It's not a joke, they're already detaining tourists
Just another reason to avoid the US.
