    I’m sorry, I’m Canadian, and what exactly do you think all of NATO could do, allied and organized against the American armed forces? Do you seriously believe we could stage an effective military campaign against America? That would he suicide.

      It’s just so fucked up, all of it. They’ve been pumping shitloads of money into their military for so long, it’s a behemoth larger than the military of the next, what, 9 countries combined? All that money should have been spent on things that are actually good for U.S. citizens. A better educational system, a healthcare system, more worker protections, a better social security net, trying to fix homelessness, etc.

      But now, their humongous military is going to be used against their own people and their allies. And all the while I’m here thinking that a well-educated, healthy, happy populace would have been much less inclined to vote a fascist into office. But hey, they didn’t need all that, they were already the best country in the world, right?

        The worst part is that we’re rich enough as a country to have our obscene military spending and civilized healthcare and education, we just choose not to.

          yeah but if you give out civilized healthcare, how will you bully your people into working hard so they don’t end up in the trench abandoned?
