Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now
  • A lot of that is because rest of NATO is under US umbrella. Not like nukes are high tech at this point. Most of Europe could get nukes real fast if they wanted, but everyone has been better served by it being to many Nuclear Powers up to this point

    Russia says Donald Trump's election win "useful for us"
  • It's not so much that it's only the "I can't in good conscience vote for this party, so it's better that the objectively worse party wins" crowd is worse then "I want the fascist to win" crowd. It's the first crowd might listen, while the second is a lost cause.

    The GOP: Empowering rapists to choose the mother of their children
  • It’s a gender election. It really is.

    Is it tho? About 40% of GOP voters are women. Sure it's not 50%, but still much larger percentage than you'd think if it was a "war of the sexes" thing

    US health system ranks last compared with peer nations, report finds
  • No no no, that's simply wrong.

    US healthcare system is the best in the world, at doing what it's designed to do. Issue here is that they're measuring it on care provide vs cost, while the US system is optimized for profits.

    If they instead ranked the results by which system generated the most private profits the US would be first.

    A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending.
  • Central registered of all citizens with ID-number. I'm pretty sure your nation has it, as does mine. So the government knows where you live, and where you can vote. If you move these things are automatically updated. So it's easy to make sure everyone can vote in the "correct" ballots ect.

    None of this is true with the US
