I was going to point out the same thing that Santafary did, that incendiary carpet bombings on japan was probably the most destructive in warfare against civilians in history, it was worse than the nukes, the houses were made of paper and the fires wiped everything out, very different situation, artillery is very destructive for infrastructure its a lot of concentrated power but for the same reasons isnt that effective to kill compared to lets say carpet bombing or things like that, chemical and biological weapons on the other hand could do unmeasurable damage

Fun to speculate about shit we have no idea like 5 star generals 8)

Norwegian media insists in calling economic migrants "refugees". Anyway, the route Libya - Italy more or less shut down. So thats great news (Even for the migrants that 97%+ would not get asylum anyways)

First they increase the religious schools
Then they stop promoting evolution.

RIP Turkey. I don't think Europe realizes the arising problem

Islam ?

More like a nation with the military possibilities of demolishing any European country which is controlled by a dictator who submits the population under full control. They're a part of NATO, however there's no NATO regulation on what happens when two countries in the pact go at war. Erdogan is a lunatic, it's not Islam that is the problem, but Islam will indeed be the main tool of control.

Furthermore, you have 30% of the population of the strongest European country consisting of Turks... This is literally history repeating itself all over again and I don't believe people realize it.

I wonder if that will happen. I mean the bubble will pop will definitely happen in the next 6 years, however Trump did say multiple times that the fed is responsible for bubble popping. His response and actions in such event would be determining to his presidency.

He doesnt seem like the type that will bite the bullet and put the fed spending under control etc.

Thats why career politicians in a modern democracy cannot work, the average voter doesnt understand economics, they dont get what is internal debt and the reserve work, so a good government should always keep debt under control, but austerity and scaling back is political suicide, you cant just get rid of medicaid even if you are headed for a financial cliff, because people dont tive a shit about that cliff, they dont even see it, they only see that their medicine isnt covered anymore, so what happens? the Fed and all its program continue to grow and grow and grow and if your country economy stutters and doesnt keep up you blow up, and this hasnt happened to any country the size of the US, its a real mistery what in the fuck will happen, but nothing pretty.

I miss Turkeys previous leader

"Its important to keep Islam down to a minimum"

He said that? wow

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Ataturk that said that. He was the one that laid the foundations of prosperity in Turkey. The nation was still quite religious and the Arabic culture was thriving before Erdogan, except it was in a much more intelligent way. Is it so hard to grasp that it's not Islam itself? It's the idealization of religion. If you want to follow the traditions and blah blah, thats cool. If you want to dress like a slut that should be cool too. Radicalization is the problem.


It's funny cause that is a counter argument to your beliefs VanDerMedey. Turkey was a solid example of how Islam and prosperity could go hand in hand with no violence if we exclude the problem with the Kurds, which is not based on religion. Unfortunately, that evil piece of shit is ruining the country and it might become a massive problem for Europe and the Mid East in the years to come. Turkey was a wildly religious country 80-90 years ago, it could be converted back in much less time and Erdogan s already been executing his plans for around 15 years.

Yes, after he visited Paris he got really inspired and realized this had to be done to achieve something similar for Turkey.

Was a great leader they had

Its so sad to observe this religious idiot ruining everything he builded up

Islam isn't the problem but the Quoran is very problematic since

*It is open to interpretation
*It has no updates, or even trying to "blend" in with modern society
*No central figure or authority
*It has a lot of very uneducated and inbred followers
*Lots of really stupid shit mixed in that book


Christianity has 1 2 and 4, 5, but why don't we see the same frequency of retardation i.e. killing people in behalf of it, even in countries where the US have no control over. Islam needs a reformation, but nobody is brave enough to get one out there, the few who try end up dead or are forced to live in countries where they're not needed.

The midget dictator is gonna provoke something quite retarded it seems

to be fair to drone I have seen high profile idiots and smart people (i.e. people who should know their facts) both repeat the same thing about artillery so it's kind of mystifying but as far as I can tell not real

People are definitely talking now though, nuclear test now wasn't smart or it's a symptom of how desperately Kim is to keep the regime together with a hardline

Trump has more than given away to an astute ear that the peninsula is surrounded by submarines though

NPR was going absolutely bonkers about removing DACA program.

Kinda interesting. I can't help but wonder how sincere these people are. If the majority of illegals in the US were right leaning Russians something tells me they'd be talking about the need for strong borders to protect low skill labor wages.

you speak as if political parties only care about their constituyents votes for personal gain and in reality have no true core values... how dare you sir !

Betsy Devos is set to restore due process for sexual assault allegations in Colleges, it takes courage to take on such an issue knowing she was going to get demolished by media, well done by her.

Man, we gotta bring this thread back. Big Twitter bombs today.

So some Dems came out on twitter and said they reached a deal with Trump to cancel the wall.

Trump responds with this

No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote.

The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built.

and and later this

Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!.....

...They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own - brought in by parents at young age. Plus BIG border security

From what I can gather via certain corners of the internet, his base seems pretty pissed.

If he screws the wall up, I'd say no chance he gets re-elected. If he lets DACA get written into law I think his base is gonna be done with him. Furthermore, what can the Democrats really offer in exchange? More funding? They're not going to sign off on a travel ban with Somalia no matter what, so I really can't see what compromise could possibly be made.

It's funny too, because I consider myself somewhat of an economic lefty with regards to pro-Union and low/medium skill labor protectionism, which naturally means harsher immigration laws, but a lot of Democrat voters seem to hold this completely conflicting attitude that you can have a $15+ minimum wage effectively while also having very open borders. Maybe these guys should live in Rio de Janeiro for awhile to see the effects of Mass Migration in the low skill labor sector on the micro-scale.
