It's funny and whatever they call him, it's still true that Trump has been wonderful for China.

It is genuinely so heartbreaking seeing the US destroying itself in this way. It’s like a real feeling of grief whenever I see there’s a new article about the US betraying us, it’s like finding out your best friend is fucking your wife.

Well done for setting up a fake conversation which makes you look smart and your opponents stupid. Master class in redditing.

Well my original claim was regarding parliamentary democracy, and France is not a parliamentary democracy, so I shan't go to any great lengths defending them over something I know nothing about. But yes, these countries are not perfec

Well, yes, many of them appear to be. Mostly not as rich as the USA, of course, though, but if wealth was all that mattered then Monaco would be the greatest country on hte planet. And I should remind you also that not all countries in Eu

I wonder how they will talk about this decline and fall of this American Empire in the future. Ultimately I think it will become clear that the constitution failed, as one of its primary purposes was to stop such populist enemies of the En

To you sure, but lots of people enjoy food. And Americans enjoy eating complete dogshit, being among the most obese and revolting (to the eyes and to the nose) people on the planet. Maybe it'd be a pretty cool thing if they at more l

I mean sometimes it's really that binary. It's not always complex. Sorry if your feelings are hurt by that fact.

No, you are the hegemon, and that costs money. It was the same when the British Empire ruled 1/4 of the Earth. You don't blame your colonies for costing you money or "freeloading", nobody is forcing to be the global sup

I find comment such as yours rather pathetic, for reasons I can't quite put into words. It's like you want to make excuses for Trump but you're not really willing to actually commit to it. Political corruption was not invent

All that may be true, but the frontline hasn't shifted. That's the crux, so Russia aren't winning, whereas Ukraine just has to survive to win. Extrapolate the rate of progress and it's decades not years until Russia co

Ok since i can already tell that you’re going to argue all numbers are western propaganda, let’s do something you can at least not argue with: the frontline has barely moved in three years. At this rate it will take decades for Russia to c

The frontline has barely shifted in 3 years, meanwhile Russia has taken a million casualties. Russia has already lost the war. Also you shouldn't write with so many exclamation marks, besides the already unhinged content of your post,

The payment is that the USA got to make the rules for the whole world, most importantly regarding trade, and we follow them. Now you have decided to elect someone who is destroying the very world order you built that you specifically desig

This is just American nonsense. Literally every single country in Europe is capitalist. Socialism is the democratic ownership of the means of production. Nowhere do we have that in Europe. Frankly this is the real problem with America,

It's putting the cart before the horse. An elite university matters in so far as it may indicate a strong intellect and strong drive. Trump went to an elite university and presumably is a hard worker but has some level of mental disa

The status quo is that the universities themselves decide. That is clearly more neutral than the government dictating to them.
