Bruce Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Any country where the aspirants for office need sponsors to provide the money to campaign has to be flawed. The sponsors need to be paid somehow. Australia certainly has a flawed democracy, but we are better than the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 America now has it's own unique form of Democrazy. which is rapidly becoming a threat to the entire world..He treats his traditional allies badly.. Admires Tyrants and dictators and deals with other Nation states by threatening to Nuke them, Put sanctions on them ruining their economies . Upping import duties to get his way. Knows little of the world.. Ignores his own FBI and CIA, all the media and hires and fires who he wants, when he wants, to get what he wants. He runs the place single handed by twitter declarations. Plays a lot of Golf. eats unhealthily and proves he is a dope by opening his mouth before his brain is working.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no evidence he actually has one though it is probably like his tiny hands and that other tiny thing the women he has paid to shut up, laugh about.

willedoo Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Bozo's latest, at his 4th. July speech:- “Our army manned the air, it ran the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their star-spangled banner waved defiant,” This is 1814 he's talking about. Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 He wasn't game to tell the stories of Korea, Viet Nam and all the other failures. I don't think the Yanks have had much success in any war in which the British didn't assist them. We certainly cannot call the Iraq wars a victory, the second one was illegal and all it has done is destroy Iraq and turn the whole middle East into a military disaster.

But neither could have won without the other. American industry and Soviet blood won the war in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 True. Both would no doubt claim it was them that won it. In terms of casualties the Soviets were the biggest sufferers, by a long shot. They also didn't pay their lend lease bill to the yanks The brits sent a lot of stuff to the soviets also. A lot got sunk by U boats. There's little doubt the British wouldn't have been able to invade Normandie without the extra equipment the US made available (at a price) Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Let's just say OME, that their politics are less mature. That would be the view of most of Europe, China and Iran. That's probably being too kind. The capitalist gravy train they love is going off the rails and they are freaked out working out just how they can keep the "best for them" situation going into the future. Maybe they will say "IF WE can't run the show we will just have to smash it" in an act of spite. and we will all die or wish we had. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the intelligence of the average Yank isn't very high compared to other countries. While I try to avoid generalisations about an entire country, in this particular case you may have a point. In some redneck state a woman was recently convicted of murdering her unborn baby - by being shot in the stomach by someone else. I kid you not. A jury of her peers, presumably a general cross-section of the state's population, thought that because she had picked a fight she was responsible for her baby getting shot. Luckily it was later overturned, but the fact remains that a majority of jurors thought it was murder - by the mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
