@cturnbull1968 Biggest risk to USA democracy is the average USA voter.
Trump said it: โIf I ever run for Office, I would run as a Republican, as the average Republican voter is an idiot and will believe anything.โ
@BBYANKO@steyrshrek@DI313_@NATO Get it through your thick skull: NATO is a defensive alliance, not an alliance to jump in if a NATO member ( USA) starts a war. The one time 9/11 a NATO Member (USA) was attached, all members stepped up/in and paid the price in $$ and in military lives. Get your facts straight.
@defense_civil25 Trump on NATO allies: we will take Greenland, make Canada a 51st state, economic trade chaos with a tariffs, insulted and marginalized NATO allied support of & war casualties due to wars started by the USA (Afghanistan, Iraq 9/11), lied, stopped support for Ukraine under Trump.
@rer_comm@Osint613 As you said, NATO is a DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE which based upon itโs charter, can act when a NATO member is attacked. No NATO member was attacked. Worse NATO member USA STARTED this illegal war without any previous consultation of NATO/ the EU/ Japan/ China and now cries for help. FO
@LehmanSterns@rospigge60559 Oh and letโs not forget the wasteful and unfounded Iraq invasion which of course ensured the increase of terror and rise of ISIS as fall out. Do you include those cost as well?
@LehmanSterns@rospigge60559 I assume you refer to the 16% US NATO contribution? Or also the spending on useless wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and all other foreign OPS? Does it include Israel? All that money could have gone to US social security, infrastructure, Medicare, lowering deficit etc.
@Dermopj@JohannaNyman5 With all the GDP growth, the size of the economy, the technology and innovation advantage you claim to have on Europe. Why, in the USA, do so many people not have access to health care, go bankrupt because of medical bills, cannot keep their homes etc etc?
@Dermopj@JohannaNyman5 How much of the GDP growth lands with say: 90%-95% of the population in the USA? It only benefits the very wealthy millionaires/ billionaires. What is the benefit of claiming โbeing aheadโ on innovation / technology if it doesnโt result in a higher quality of life for all?
@DabbersDelights@funjuan356@MrPitbull07 If more and more people would do that: not go to the restaurant as theyโre tired of the ridiculous tipping expectations; the restaurant would make less revenue, staff will get fired, business spiraling down and restaurant ultimately closes down. How is that good for the server?
โNATO is not an act of American generosity. It is a strategic bargain that ensures the United States remains the worldโs most powerful and economically secure nation at a fraction of the cost of going it alone. Americaโs allies are its single greatest geo-strategic advantage.โ
@Ikennect Athletes are people, people have minds, thoughts and ideas. Freedom of speech should be universal as long as you donโt hurt anyone else.
If this person thinks differently she is allowed to voice her opinion. Doesnโt mean she is correct.
@Real_2A@Microinteracti1 YES NOW: EU has dozens of technical universities. The EU in the last 10 days signed a trade deal w India and w South America (Mercosur). The EU rightfully penalizes (US) companies when they infringe on the rights of EU citizens. Indian students are in EU. Keep sleeping.
@Karinkaatj@VVD@milosboksan Je kan/ mag vrij je mening uitten in Nederland. Dat neemt niet weg dat je daarbij ook mogelijke consequenties dient te aanvaarden. Het is geen vrijbrief. In dit geval past de uittingen van Pettit niet bij het beleid dat de Radboud Uni voorstaat en kan die zijn biezen pakken.
