This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Europe is not of the size of South America, Africa or Asia. Neither in land mass nor in amount of people. Talking about euro "culture" is as specific as talking about seppo "culture", if not more so. I'm sure you'd have no problem talking about Indian culture, and they are even bigger than europe, with more diverse cultures.
We're not talking about culture, we're talking about foreign policy.
There's 740 million people in Europe (more than South America) spread across 47 independent countries.
And Europe includes countries that are Allies of the US, Enemies of the US, as well as Neutral countries.
So again, you'll have to be more specific.
Thats the comment I was responding to. Very clearly talking about the people living there and not the goverments foreign policy.
Ok maybe Serbia and Russia get a pass for resisting US control, but this was after they let US culture in and their people got decimated for it, so not really.
I'm from Ireland. A country in Europe where both the people and government are outspoken against whats happening in Gaza and are both actively taking steps to work toward stopping it despite US influence trying to stop us.
You wont go a single day in this country without seeing Palestinian flags being flown.
You think the Europeans in Ireland don't care about genocide?
Maybe Ireland is the sole exception to the rest of the subcontinent then. What have they tried to do, slipped completely passed me.
