@zerocruel@wa13665@WarClandestine You answered someone who doesn't seem to understand. While some are directly under NATO command, most "NATO bases" are national bases that host multinational NATO forces. US bases are ... US, which the US wants for reasons such as projecting power, logistics & communications.
@NormanH_HU @CalltoActivism You're obviously a paying subscriber. Having checked yr posts & retwits, you support conspiracy theories & disinformation campaigns. Yr answer is uninformed & yet cleverly worded. So, you come across as a Russian agent of influence or similar. Or, you're dishonest or a fool.
@booterlehman@Cherylk0007@ArtCandee Iran has a high rate of literacy (>94%) & numeracy. Female literacy is high, with women constituting over 60% of university students vs 58% in the USA. You may not like Iran's political regime, but you must accept that they aren't doing badly at education, with fewer resources.
@Arrogance_0024 A huge amount. But, that's only visible and appreciated if people open their eyes and their minds. It's not perfect (what is), but it's certainly better than what we had before it.
@EricLDaugh Let's see if Israel or the USA bomb these places regardless of civilians being present. The USA started pretty well with a school full of children, recently.
@MikeHanlon99@TedUrchin Are the UK's PM & Cabinet members elected for their jobs in government? No: they're selected, subject to being MPs. What about Charles III? Elected or born into it? Pls read about how the EU parliament & commission work, & how parliamentarians are elected, vs the UK's system.
@Miss_Snuffy Are you saying that the voting intentions of the more educated are an expression of contempt towards the less educated simply bc of the differences in the observed distribution? I don't understand your logic. Care to elaborate?
@g_gosden Interesting how many people extend education into a measure of intelligence, & feel offended, whereas this poll is simply about education levels vs voting intentions. Intelligence is measured differently.
@Ryan_ginger24@jlouis_ma@MosiniElisa The USA was built on the vestige of genocide which it promptly continued to apply, together with unprecedented slavery & an apartheid state that
persisted until the 1960s. Let's not give lessons to each other bc the picture isn't pretty on either side.
@Ryan_ginger24@MosiniElisa Read your history & don't focus on just 1940. There's more to it, including the French enabling the USA to become a country & a nation that has won a significant number of battles.
@SaltyGoat17 Maybe the USA messed up with its action against Iran? Demanding yr allies to join in a fight without having convinced them, let alone talked to them, beforehand isn't a good approach. Trump's exceptionalism is childish. His attack on Iran is illegal & badly developed.
@SaltyGoat17 Think it through ... alliances are essential, including access to foreign territories as forward bases. Then, there's the economic impact. The USA makes a lot of money out of its allies & gets a lot of support when it needs it, if it's justified.
@Red_State_Rebel@AlexTaylorNews Think first. Write after. No bases = no projection of power, no logistics points, no repair facilities, no missile silos, no harbours for your navy, no runways for your planes, no place for your personnel, no easy access to the Middle East (oil/Israel) & Eastern Europe ...
