@@HiddenObject98 this news article came out more than 5 years ago yet you don't here about any major wildfire anymore right? So it is quite clear that Obama did succeed in his negotiations.

The UN, EU and the international community have urged both sides to cease the hosilities and go back to the negotiating table. This was Obama's response. Feels so surrealistic when I hear some politicians calling Armenia (the defending side) to cease the hostilities with Azerbaijan (the aggressor) in the ongoing war (November 9th, 2020).
I know, right! The same thing is happening with Ukraine, Europeans keep telling us to stop fighting and try diplomacy when Russia is literally KILLING CIVILIANS
decades ago, the Onion makes this. years ago, Trump LITERALLY wanted to nuke a hurricane. the Onion did not run out of ideas, the world itself became a satire 😖
Not exactly. The video is about California wildfires after all, which have been plaguing the state for quite some time. In fact, California‘s third worst ever fire season (counting 2020) was in 2008, the year before The Onion published this video.
How the fuck do these people keep doing this. Just when you think you've seen the last funny satire The Onion steps in and just makes your day. Unironically one of my favorite channels ever.
It's a satire on his lack of action. He spends too much time talking and politicizing instead of taking action. Syria happened after he messed Libya up. Which when it came to Libya he acted instead of negotiated. (He was probably just a puppet in that case) Many of the weapons ISIS has, apart from being obtained within Syria/Iraq, came from Libya. And just do your homework if you don't want to take my word for it :) But really if McCain was in office we would have invaded Syria and Iran with an entire army. So I suppose Obama is the lesser evil... but still bad for attacking Libya and arming/supporting Al Qaeda affiliates.
Wha? It's commentary on how much he avoids political incorrectness, even to the extent that he would try and be politically correct to a fire. That's the joke... If you listened to the video, he acted multiple times, to no avail - sending a cease and desist letter, buying it a gift, sending Hillary to parachute onto it, and he was heading there to speak directly.
No it's not Civil war began around 2011, this is from 2009: Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to Barack Obama: On October 9, 2009, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to U.S. President Barack Obama for his efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.
Really, you just can't get mad at The Onion for anything they say. Even if one of their videos makes fun of something I believe in and am passionate about, I don't mind too much because I know they make fun of every side of every story. It's all about not taking things too seriously and at the same time, getting a fresh new perspective on old topics. The Onion is the best!
For every current world event, there is a corresponding Onion video from a decade before
Thats actually true.

This is exactly what political satire should be. It uses the tendencies of these people and puts them on a completely random thing.
That's why the onion is eternally relevant. It's not that they can predict the future, just that humans never change, or at least only change very slowly.
yup thats what it is its the onion using the wildfire to make fun of the way people talk about foreign policy
