It's sad that too many people cannot comprehend that someone might not want to pick a side. At this point in history, several empires fight for power over the planet and seem to be happily headed towards WWIII, and while they do so damage the planet even more. I'd rather have zero empires. And I certainly don't want to fight a war for any abstract concept that just exists to funnel even more money into the pockets of the rich.

On the other hand, just because I was accidentally born in Europe, and as I profit from the system Europe has in place, it's like my side has been picked for me. Which is being some sort of US vassal. And I agree US needs to fix their internal problems not play world police at this point in time. And if the choice is between being a sort of appendix of either fascist US or fascist Russia I frankly don't fucking care anymore, hope they all go under rather sooner than later and let Europe be Europe.

Using a word like "Genocide Joe" means they've already chosen a side
