    like if you teleported directly from Europe into any given US street nobody would say “hey, that guy is an enemy”. We in the US have a problem, an idiot is driving.

    I think that what you find will actually happen is that they will get held at gunpoint by ICE, be unable to show identification, get beaten up for talking back, and get thrown in a concentration camp for a couple months, where if they can’t prove European citizenship in time they get deported to a death camp in El Salvador.

    Though to be fair, that’s if they hit the bad luck of being stopped by cops for engaging in the suspicious activity of walking, or ringing the doorbell of a Republican, or ringing the doorbell of someone who calls the cops when someone is at the door with an implausible story asking to use their phone.

    Basically they would have to rely on the kindness of strangers to avoid the militarised police and to get in contact with their country’s embassy for extraction. The only benefit over Iran or Russia is that they might speak the language.

      That’s not entirely fair. Sometimes when you ring the doorbell of a Republican they just shoot you through the door.

      But that’s still not us. That’s the king and his followers doing that.

        Ok, I would like to buy a million barrels of crude oil, can you set that up for me without involving “the king and his followers?”

          Nope. Again, please point your pointy bits to the real perps, not the American people who like me are happy to help others.

            This post is about “not buying oil from your enemies” and you’re like, “But I’m not your enemy! Also, I don’t have any oil!”
