How's this news? That's literally what MAGA was selling the entire time. The so called "Temporary Hardships". They promised and they're going to deliver some economic hardships, that was the sales pitch and people voted for it. Anybody shocked is just not paying attention.

Not voting. If we combine harris and non voters we get a similar number to the poll. Of course that's a major simplification, but it still has something.

Shortage of bus drivers solved by a fleet of regular drivers. Lol. I'm at a lose for words at how badly managed the US is.

School in general is wasted on kids. No kid cares about history or god forbid chemistry. You know who does? The person who just became an adult and is about to FUCKING GRADUATE! I only remember the last year and a half of school, because I was actually old enough to care and process that shit. Everything prior was just needless torture.

Aye, it's curious how one's upbringing affects their hearing. The Americans I interacted with can't tell the Czech P and B apart. Which I find fucking weird as mixing them up in Czech results in absolute gibberish. Probably similar to how TH and F sound the same to me.

Same here in Prague. When parallel parking, sometimes these cars are so fucking wide, that even tho there's more than enough space behind em, it's still impossible to navigate around their fat fucking ass, and by the time I'm finally behind it I'm at a 90 degrees.

Fair, but it misses the trees for the forest. The US already pays WAY more for healthcare than any other country. The money is literally there, just mismanaged. While I feel your frustration, simply cutting aid to allied countries won't change anything domestically.

Citation needed.

The Ukranian constitution has no amendments even mentioning NATO.

And Zelenky demanding nuclear weapons is a recent development. So not "tried" but "trying right now". Not even the Russians claimed such prior.

And I don't watch MSNBC or whatever else "msm" is supposed to be. Bold of you to assume I not only watch American news, but also a specific broadcaster. That's got to be like a less than 50% chance.

The idea of Ukraine joining NATO was literally unimaginable before Russian aggression. After the fall of the soviet union there were multiple agreements like the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine and Budapest Memorandum that basically established Ukraine as a sovereign and neutral nation under the protection of the west and east. Even after Russian interventions in Ukraine and finally the taking of Crimea, NATO members like Germany were still vocal about never letting Ukraine in.

Also if Russia truly cared about NATO expansion, how come we barely hear anything about Finland and Sweeden? I occasionally even forget they're a part of it now.

Recently had a rather unpleasant exchange with him, didn't know he had a reputation.

Syria is quite a long ways from China. Makes me wonder how serious they are. Then again, such operations aren't a foreign concept in the middle east, so what do I know?

Do you really enjoy throwing out meaningless quips? I'm genuinely curious since I don't see any engagement, but a surprising amount of replies.
