    Not ever. Even when every male under the age of 50 is conscripted into one of Trump's pointless wars against former allies, Democrats won't do shit because resistance is illegal and they have an unshakably legalist worldview. Calexit was already a complete joke before their government started executing their own citizens in broad daylight with no repercussion - legal or otherwise.

    Americans: stop with the escapist fantasies and start finding actual ways to fight back because your elected representatives aren't going to do it for you.

    Taiwan is presumably red because if Taiwan was green China would be red. So, the WHO just sighs and goes "ok, Taiwan, would you mind accepting 'observer status' or something?", and Taiwan's rep just sighs too and says, "sure, we get it."

    Leela: Look, I know there are no car-chases, but this is important. One of these two men will become President of the World.

    Fry: What do we care? We live in the United States.

    Leela: The United States is part of the world.

    Fry: Wow, I have been gone a long time.

    New Zealand doesn't exist.

    Poor Taiwan, only excluded due to pressure of China.

    Because Milei is an idiot Trump ally with similar beliefs and he is strongly against covid lockdowns and believes they were "crimes against humanity".

    To give a bit more context, the usa has been influencing elections in latin america and there has been a trend in the last 10 years of trump-like leaders in the far right around here. Argentina has elected one of them in the last elections, and he's replicating the trump agenda and extending his power to the region, while destroying the internal economy

    Ah yeah, Argentina, a country that is known for it's beef production and it's "Libertarian" President known for silencing dissent. I'm sure a new plague won't come out from Argentina in regards to beef or beef products. No siree. Won't happen.

    Argentina is going above and beyond to try their hardest to be a US colony.

    You guys just don’t get it because your health care system spends money on sick people. Here, we cash in on sick people, so it’s only good business to make more of them.

    I hate my country.

    US government is prioritizing killing civilians, so it makes sense that they don't care about health.

    I hadn't heard but am not surprised Milei is following suit.

    Argentina. Finally, a country that Trump can buy.

    What a funny coincidence, both those countries absorbed the majority of Nazis that got out of Germany and weren't kidnapped by the Soviets.

    I wonder when Russia is leaving it.
