@FuckKoroks One time in grad school an Austrian student in a NATO class asked

"I don't know vhy we should still be thanking ze US for something zey did 70 years ago"

Instinctively, I said "because you'd be speaking German right now!"

Whole class roared. She didn't get it "but I do..."

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT You know what? if American bases in Jordan are destroyed or if the US pulls out of Jordan or the Gulf States, why don't you come back to this thread?

I will legitimately mail you a check

If, in 90 days that doesnt happen, I'll shoot you a reminder. I've got Venmo. See ya

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT Lmao US bases in Jordan aren't going anywhere just like any of the other American bases in the Middle East. They're staying and will likely stay for generations

The Russians have been bombing Kyiv for nearly 5 years with no discernible effect

You and Mearsheimer are both wrong

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT >makes retarded claim about how Iran destroyed 25 bases
>they haven't
>Pivot for 4th time
>"Why's the strait closed?!"

Mearsheimer was wrong and all you can consistently do is change the topic. It's all third worlders can do. So far from the original topic due to retardation

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT Lmao the US has not lost 25 bases. All major installations in the Middle East are intact and continue to operate. Casualties in an interstate war on one side have been in the thousands and on the other have not exceed two dozen. Insane ratio.

Cope and seethe

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT You've not countered any of the 4 points presented and pivoted wildly to Iran when confronted. Then you pivoted to bitch made insults

Hit dogs will holler.

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT None of this has anything to do with what I said about Mearsheimer being wrong about these four points.

If anything, the war has shown that the United States has complete military hegemony over a region while holding one hand behind his back. US losses are minimal, Irans arent

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT Iran was never mentioned. So notice how I made four points and you chose to move the goal posts and make a point I never did

You've ceded all four, then.

Idk how Iran plays out but put it this way. In 20 years the US will exist, the Islamic Republic of Iran will not.

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT Why don't you message me if NATO ever dissolves, China's GDP per capita surpasses the United States, A Ukrainian puppet state is formed at the behest of Russia, and the US ceases being the primary determinant of foreign policy

I'll be waiting. Won't happen but I'll be waiting.

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT It's not. And it's in the fifth year of a million man along

The US surpasses China in literally every metric and has continued to do so

NATO's not fractured at all

The United States holds Israel's leash, not the other way around and time and time again has shown that

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT I just gave four examples. He's predicted Russia wouldn't invade and then a quick victory, he predicted China would surpass the US decades ago, he said NATO would fracture, and he said the US is controlled by the Israeli lobby when history shows it's the US holding Israelis back

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@Lehommeruns @SevaUT He's consistently made extremely bad predictions about the war in Ukraine. I think he's wrong about the US-Israeli relationship. He's wrong about China's rise. He's wrong about NATO's continued existence

He's just consistently wrong

[I Am Become Rath @Cramblins]

@XPokemonProf @SevaUT I studied under his friend/rival Christopher Layne. Good times. Nice guy. But Mearsheimer has always been a bit of a... Pariah in IR. He has one lens, and it's realism, which can be useful, but is myopic

@SpaceborneMedic 33 here. This was my favorite game on the Sega Genesis. It came out in 1991. Missions revolve around hitting Saddam again, Kim il Sung launching the second Korean War, and dealing with the collapse of the Soviet Union

@NoxieProxie @KevenJacobbris @Tisdarkness @guyfelicella This isn't GDP. This is economic freedom. To be fair, any of these indexes are going to be swayed by the methodology and biases of the people who make them

But Ireland is known for having a very open and market-oriented economy. Tons of companies move their headquarters there

Most communist's gripes with capitalism are actually just gripes about the state of nature and/or the human condition and something capitalism has done nothing but soften the impacts of these gripes

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

Genuinely, I DO NOT like the concept of capitalism. I don’t want to work my job every day. I want to make art. I want to be in my garden. I want to feel something.
