Well one thing's for certain tho, that law that's basically reinstating Wehrpflicht will definitely happen now (imo a good thing, always hated muricans telling us they're paying for everything we got)
Olaf Scholz has also dismissed Christian Lindner. The FDP will most likely withdraw from the Ampel coalition. If there are new elections (they are coming 2025 anyway), the AfD will probably come to the top, especially after the results in Thuringia and Saxony. (Gott bewahre). So perhaps Wehrpflicht is not too far-fetched.
Sadly, I think it‘s very likely it will be brought back because the German population is just beyond lost. I‘m luckily old enough to not have to do it, but when I have kids at some point you‘ll bet I‘ll teach them how to dodge it.
It's coming back in Europe. We don't have many young people which only hope of getting father in life is the military, like in America and still quite a lot of countries still have it.
The main Swedish sub is full of "Trum was elected how will we survive?"
I just 30 min ago learnt that he was elected because I don't care and didn't check Reddit all day (also I avoid Swedish media a year before the election in the US because that's all they write about. Meanwhile people don't even know about chat control in Sweden even if it was our damn dumb Swedish politician who proposed it)
I'm in Ireland and it's exactly the same here. My mother-in-law sits with the news on all day and any time we go over to her house, it's something about the US election on TV. So sick of it.
Sweden 51st? At least when I worked in grocery stores with lots of 18-20 years old they spoke of the US as though we live there. Probably because our journalists also think we live there and young girls are easily influenced by media
Even Israel fell to us defaultism two days ago when Netenyahu fired his minister because he wanted to negotiate peace and placed a true war hawk in his place. As if Israel had prior knowledge of the US election outcome
I like it lol Thank you. I’m caught up in my own Us defaultism mental state and am doom scrolling in Reddit looking for reasons to laugh. I know that every time I do I will make a step further into once again being the world citizen I wanted to be when I was 6. And you have helped me take another step
I state the obvious, but the way US shapes its foreign policy always affected major events in Europe, at least since the 1910s. Their decision to join the first world war, the great crash of 1929, them offering lend lease material support and then joining the fight during WWII.. the list goes on.
It's no wonder virtually everyone, no matter where they are from, is posting the election results.
Weeell, Cyprus is caught in the middle (geographically) of the Greek-Turkish territorial disputes and is essentially in a state of cold war—consider e.g. the 2018 flashpoint and repeat 'cold' engagements between fighter planes on both sides. Both Greece and Turkey are NATO countries. Given POTUS' influence and some of Trump's statements, both the future cohesion of NATO, the development in the Middle East (with Turkey taking an opposing stance to Israel) and not to mention any US involvement in the Cyprus conflict itself, whether directly or through US policy in the UN and UNSC, it's not hard to see that POTUS can have a massive influence on what happens in Cyprus.
The OOP would have been fine if it specified that Trump is the new POTUS and invited a discussion on how it affects the future of Cyprus. If info about the new president is posted on a Cyprus subreddit without mentioning Cyprus, it only makes sense if it's about the president of Cyprus
I never said he was. But if you're in one of the 100+ countries in the world who will be largely impacted by his foreign or economic policy then it's still relevant news domestically
Yeah I agree with you. Yes, the fact that trump is elected will affect Cyprus, and many other countries. But their elections will have a bigger effect than the elections in another country.

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is US Defaultism:
How is this relevant to the Cypriots? The title makes it seem like he’s the president of Cyprus as well.
Is this Defaultism? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
