Honestly they're correct. Putin at least seems somewhat predictable and he's definitely more intelligent.
Spain’s been going fairly hard lately, and I’m loving it!
There's a lot going wrong in that country, sadly. But their stance lately on the US and Israel is admirable and should be an example for the rest of the EU, and the world. Silence is compliance.
Well, yeah, at least Putin is smart, and will act strategically. Trump is just a monkey flinging poop.
He couldn't even take Ukraine. The biggest difference is that he isn't a terminally online manbaby who needs constant attention.
Yeah, very smart that one. If he didn’t attack Ukraine, Russia would have been one of the wealthiest countries in the world. The entire EU was dependent on them ffs. Now it wouldn’t surprise me if I hear that the federation breaks apart very soon.
Putin is finished, he is a walking dead together with the Russian Empire he wanted to create.
But we need to support Ukraine more, so this stupid war isn't prolonged more than necessary. When the war is over both Ukraine and EU will prosper.
We need to help Ukraine win ASAP so that we can redirect our military resources to defending ourselves against the United States.
What a way to find out I’m a Spaniard.
Not only Spaniards, every sane person will put US as number one enemy of the world.
That is because right now he is
Putin and Trump are the same threat, just look at what they do in Hungary.
US invading Iran is similar to Putin invading Brazil btw distance-wise. Which one can you imagine ever happening?
Im 42 and I can't remember a time the US wasn't over there.
There's even a meme about it.
"Born too late to be sent to the middle east.
Born too early to be sent to the middle east.
Born just in time to be sent to the middle east."
The US has been the greatest threat to the world since WW2.
We also inspired the top-troglodyte who sparked WW2 with our treatment of indigenous people and the treatment of migrants at the Southern Border.
And then hired a bunch of the Nazis after WW2, like the first head of NASA who admitted to using forced labor and engineered (some of? all of?) the rockets shot at Britain.
Since inception
I used to joke about my children having to fight in the "Trump Wars" during his first term. Then he got reelected. It's not funny anymore.
Trump has made it crystal clear that the 21st century will be China's Century.
We can has Spanish century II: Catalan boogaloo?
They should know Trump is a running dog for Putin.
Not just peace but business in general. The man is fucking famous for bankrupting everything he touches for crying out loud
I was unaware that most of the world is Spanish. The more you know..
well, the world country hate index has China first, US second and Russia third. China is working to change their image, donations of solar panels in Africa etc , Russia and the US are active in making their world image worse and in making the world worse.

I assume with all these shenanigans, we'll see the US vault to the top.
but as an Australian, I'd agree with Spain, The US and Russia are now our enemies, China is not in anyway an ally of course but more like Vietnam etc
Finally a country that sees the reality of the situation.
I think they all see it, but are scared to say it out loud in case he gets activated. Like when you see youre being watched late at night. You dont run and scream immediately you sort of walk a tiny bit faster trying not to let them know that you know because that'll trigger the chase.
So do we Americans.
Let these escapades serve as an example that, outside of the Epstein Class, people's only power here is local.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
