I don't see your point, so perhaps I'm missing what you're saying. I don't see the connection between the giving of $100,000 and our current economy. The liberals have borrowed a ton (not unlike harper who allowed it to grow over $150 billion) without a doubt, which combined with poor CPC...

are debates now called "counter-protests"? Like fake news when it's something one's "team" doesn't agree with?

All politicians lie, though he is especially "good" at it. What gets me about Trump is he makes reflxive, unthought out decisions (embassy to Jerusalem) along with the lying and yet the sheeple continue to support him. We'll,  35% of them based on his most recent support numbers. If the US can...

Well, there's the trudeau Metre,  but as this is a US politics thread it didn't seem appropriate. https://trudeaumetre.polimeter.org

As we end 2017, here's a list of things Trump has lied about so far. Only 8 pages, less than I would have thought (though it doesn't include things he is just wrong about). http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/

From a religious standpoint, the religious tribalism of the region is the telling point, on both sides, that ensures that no real lasting peace is on the horizon. That's why Arab/Islamic states (since they're not the same thing) always seem to support Palestine (though many have low opinions of...

Neither side is innocent in the usurping of peace talks. Israeli support to the increasing number of settlements hasn't assisted, nor why would it? I thnk you're being naive to the utmost extent of you think trump's decision will make anyone realize anythuig.  If nothing, couldn't the lack of...

There is no "grand strategy", unless you've read something that I haven't, so I don't think it's a case of me not knowing/understanding/liking it. Therein, as there is no recognizable grand strategy (which to be clear isn't just a Trump failure- he's just markedly worse at it then his...

Well, ISIS/ISIS could also be atributed to bush who invaded Iraq and set the conditions for the rise of al-qaeda in Iraq and ISIS. Obama pulling out was a cause, not the cause. Inevitably someone would have pulled the US out of Iraq and the Shia/Sunny divide would have risen. Bush and Obama both...

Or china's. ... or Russia... I think they have more options than we want to admit. The current administration seems to want to end the US goal of liberal internationalism, so may have to face the piper on their decisions. The myth of US isolationism appears to be winning the day. Next president...

ASAB- the textbook definition of a self licking lollipop.... 5 log organizations within 500 metres

it's also the problem with the west bank. Unlike most people's impressions, the vast majority of Israeli settlements are not shacks with no services. Quite the contrary- many are fully supported and modern cities with services including buses, schools, and even universities. Many Israeli's have...

I'm not contradicting anything since I never stated a point but asked questions. The question then stands. What entitles a people to a historical homeland? Control, presence, or both? If presence (which many believe), the the Americas have a big problem. You may also note the Israelis were...

The Jewish presence in what is now Israel is well known. The trouble perhaps is the time lines.  Judea/Israel dates back to about 1000 BCE if the bible is correct. Jerusalem specifically was conquered by the jews in 1000 BCE ftom the jebusites who had controlled the area since the fall of...

The key being "in the face of the enemy". WOL or desertion in peacetime results in a charge and release in the extreme cases.

Military duty doesn't make us automatically better than civilians or entitled to more. There is a certain attitude that military service somehow makes everything more important. Other professions have similar, and arguably more influential roles on society (police, fire fighters, doctors, etc)...

Left wing radicalism? The same one that's been shown to be responsible for less dea the than right wing extremism? The problem is really thus- people are a pack animal and like being on teams. People pick "left wing" and "right wing" teams and seem to really get set into a "us vs them"...

True. However- the point is that soldiers are predominantly injured in events that aren't related to the "violent death" or unlimited liability portion of the job. If soldier A hurts his knee jumping out of a truck on an ex than is it really different than a construction worker jumping off the...

There is relevance based on your comments though. The information private hurt in the conduct of ops is absolutely different than the teacher. The difference is for those hurt in training and non op purposes. In a sense, a teacher/nurse who is hurt on the job is no different than a soldier who...

Some on the left do. Some on the right use snowflake and cuck. Both groups are demostrating ignorance
