I remember feeling kind of bad hearing that a guy died from Trumps first assasination attempt and then someone found the guys twitter and obviously the guy was a massive nazi, so my sympathy just vanished immediately. Not sure why i expected the guy to be normal, but somehow I did.

Yanks are sort of like ticks. Once they latch on they're REALLY fucking hard to get rid of, particularly when your country is used as the base for a bunch of drones that fire missiles that specifically target pre-schools.

Nah, it's because our armed forces are a joke and have been since like 1870. Denmark has never been a great power and our elites seem satisfied with just being leeches on the Americans. The current government's obsession with "strengthening the army" is just a way to ensure that the SocDems don't get wallopped because everything has gotten worse and Mette Frederiksen is a lunatic who's eyeing a job at NATO. Fortunately for us, she doesn't seem to be itching for another war the way Anders Fogh Rasmussen did, but she is still hellbent on proving her dedication to the Neoliberal circus.

I don't understand how people can look at any millitary and decide that it's something worth emulating. I work with two guys in my office who both spent something like 10+ years in the Danish Armed Forces, and neither of them have any good things to say about the way that work is structured there. Most of their stories involve the soldiers getting high/drunk and fighting with each other, which is like the least bad thing you can do as a troop.

For the sake of my sanity, I really fucking hope that they dont.

For context, aren't there parts of Oklahoma that had to institute a 4-day school week because they literally couldn't afford to pay their teachers for 5 days of work per week? Which is only making their teacher drain worse, since a lot of teachers in Oklahoma move to Texas since the pay is much higher and Costs of Living are similar.

Supposedly the US and Israel wasn't the same type of BFF's back in 1967 that they are now. It was only after the Arab-Israeli war in 1967 that the Americans began trying to turn Israel into a millitary base. Prior to 1967, Israel was more of a european project than an American one, which I assume has to do with the fact that America got scared when Nasser took over the Suez-canal.

The people on the ground are typically quite good at diagnosing symptoms. The actual cause of the symptoms is usually obfuscated enough that it takes a while to find, if it is ever found, which also means that getting people to agree to a solution is the hardest part.

Isn't it completely hopeless to get this kind of agreement with South Korea, given their reliance on the Americans for basically anything? Or is there some anti-american push from the neoliberals in charge of South Korea that I don't know about?

Isn't Hawaii literally the Bluest state in the entire country? Like the Democrats win Hawaii with such margins that you'd think they would do something with it, but somehow all that amounts to is the dems giving blowjobs to hotel owners.
