but those are obviously not USD bills.


because they industrialized before metricalization and it would’ve been incredibly expensive to convert all their machines and tooling to metric afterwards. same reason as the UK. a lot of places industrialized later, in metric from the start, and didnt have this problem.
and then they became the hegemon, and didnt have to convert, because fuck you, why should i cooperate with vassals.
the US will convert to metric when it sinks to the level it deserves and the customary units become a pain because nobody else is willing to deal with them and all the importable equipment is in metric.

based on the replies, europe aint coming out of this anytime soon, since there seems to be a complete unwillingness to actually deal with the issue. instead, what we see is the racism reflexes of the ethnically fascist europeans coming out


it’s also the right move in general. well, it’s a start.


nah. i think most of them will end up memory holing the whole thing or blaming china/communists for it.

i meant whatever the hell mussolini was doing


you forgot the roman empire (third time, dont laugh) under the extremely upside-down man


at the very end, after rome conquered greece, they were basically a spartan theme park for visiting roman aristos.


the two mistakes: the US and israel.


ah, the pager attack didnt help in winning hearts and minds? really? this is amazing news, what can i say.


europe is fully vassalized to the US and not a separate power bloc. their only tentative bid for some independence has just been thoroughly demolished in the last few years. this war is making things even worse for them.
and europe is only fighting this war through the ukrainian proxy, not directly anyway.


you have to have at least two major powers in it on opposite sides, i think. and it cant be a proxy war, even a half-proxy war like ukraine.
but we’re getting there.
edit: alternatively, when whitey says so.


i dunno, but let’s do some science! let’s stop the siege and wait a decade and see how failed they are.


after ayatollah threatens US warships
what were those warships doing in the region? 


COULD? how deeply is that boot lodged, jesus christ.
