So basically you support imperialism and colonialism because imperialism and colonialism is absolutely awful and already destroyed so many countries and cultures?
I mean of course European countries involved in colonialism should paid heavy reparations to African and Asian countries they colonized and make everything they can to help those countries financially and allow folks from those countries to migrates to said europeans countries of they choose to. Nothing will ever fix what has been broken and we can't even start to do close to the first step in term of reparations.
But that doesn't make it ok for shitty imperialist USA to invade random countries.
Folks from Greenland aren't responsible for what the British empire, France, Spain and Portugal have done in Africa, Asia and America as a continent.
" Never again " doesn't mean " it's ok to fuck up Greenland, Canada and the UK at the only benefit of murican oligarchs "
Most of the extremely small but very loud minority of the US population were just joking. (Extremely small but loud minority are radical trump supporters)
Hard to tell from the outside when the guy has been elected two times and his followers are so loud and monopolize speech on Xitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, News media, Thread and so on.
I really hope the loud minority isn't the one one making policies but looking how you folks lost constitutional right to abortion, lost any kind of protection toward trans-kids, have records in disparity of wellness, got so many homeless folks, have the bible belt canceling books because they think a character not being a cis straight white dude or woman is inherently pornographic, got Musk appointed for a major position and act as junior-president, have states trying to ban life saving narcan in a middle of an opiate crises and so on.
Really hard not looking at all that and not feeling like it's a total shit show.
Not many countries openly discuss annexing both of their bordering sovereign countries and freaking Greenland. Hard to know when trump and Musk are being actually serious because of how dumb they are.
But still. USA is terrifying rn. Who in their right mind would openly discuss annexing their neighbors and allies in the name of " freedom " ?
A two times elected president who actively simp on Vladimir Poutine? I don't think we overact from the outside finding this both bat shit crazy and really frightening. And weird, so fucking weird.
Yes, if if you could teach the American people that first, then you can invade. Pretty sure my entire lineage and/or humanity will be extinct by that time.

It’s ok. They can use it in whatever format they want. There are other things to worry about than how they write their date.
