I don’t know about an integrated EU army, but the US has been lobbying for Europe to expand its defense capabilities for years, that wasn’t just Trump.

It’s pretty easy to look at North Korea, Cambodia, or Eastern Europe during the Cold War and say “hmm, it’s worth going to extreme lengths to prevent this from happening elsewhere”. That may have been misguided in many instances, but the ba

You're omitting a critical detail: Russia denied that those forces were Russian, effectively green lighting the US response. That's not a useful "test". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khasha

And good for him. In less than a year, the fad will have passed and wordle will have 10% the users it has now. And lol at the idea that those users donations would have ever amounted to anything. Not to mention the hassle of accepting them.

We deny people waiting for organ transplants medical treatment regularly. there simply aren't enough organs to go around. In the case that people are already having life saving organs withheld from them, it makes sense to prioritize.
