Blarghagh Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Catching up on the math in this thread, I have some questions. So from what I understand... If you supported Bernie but voted for Hillary, your morality score is low? But if you voted for Hillary from the start, your morality score is also low because she is a bigger corporate influence than a literal corporate leader. If you voted for Trump you are Literally Hitler, so low score again. If you didn't vote for a primary candidate, it's the same as not voting and if you didn't vote, you're the worst of all. I guess my question is, is there a way to humanely euthenize the entire population of the USA so it can be put out of its misery? Just to reiterate, I campaigned for Sweet Meteor O' Death 2016. I just didn't expect that to give me more morality points than the candidates. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orogun01 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 http://www.pravdareport.com/news/world/europe/15-12-2016/136425-russia_eu_trump-0/ Russia and EU to unite against Donald Trump? "The head of EU diplomacy Federica Mogherini said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal said that the EU and Russia could find common grounds on a number of international issues to join forces to counter future policies of the Donald Trump administration. Moghernini, speaking about the fate of the nuclear agreement with Iran under the new US president, noted that Washington's slightest derogation from those agreements would raise serious concerns in Moscow. "In a transactional manner...case by case, you will find issues where I wouldn't be surprised to see the Europeans and the Russians on the same side - Iran deal, Middle East peace process, possibly the role of the UN," Mogherini told The Wall Street Journal." So EU fearing a nationalist US will try to ally with Russia because they share some commonalities like geographic location? It is as likely as a Russia and the US coming together over the fight against ISIS and Russia mediating China-US relations, which would birth the most powerful political bloc on the planet. One world government here we go. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

They can try to stump Trump if they want, but we all know it can't be done. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

BruceVC Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Obama's press conference was interesting. He was mostly reasonable, trying to stabilize a borderline hysterical political situation. Then he dropped a big ol' truth bomb about fake news that I don't think the lefty media liked. He also stated clearly that Russia did not hack the actual voting process, but simply hacked into the DNC. A distinction that had to be made. Once in a while the guy impresses me. Kenyans are impressive people. He is not Kenyan, he was born in the USA...surely you must be aware of this?

But one of the obvious reasons is the lack of economic advantage aligning with Russia will bring, Russia is in an economic recession and they offer no economic incentive for the EU to support them and somehow drop the USA Fo you have any clue about anything? Check the map and see how huge Russia is. It's one of the biggest markets in a single country. They have vast amounts of natural resorces and endless demand for western goods. Economically there are plenty of reasons to allign with Russia. I want to be clear on this, your view on geopolitics and the feasibility of global alliances as far Russia is concerned has a view that because Russia has natural resources that could be a reason for the EU to align with Russia and move away from the USA?

I don't think it is any type of slight against the British, I think it is more that it is simply so common to have English roots somewhere in the family tree that it isn't much of a distinction. I can also trace my roots back to the Mayflower and a Pilgrim named John Alden, which is a cool story, but the Italian great grandmother who went by Mama Mia, never learned English, and had a tattoo is a much more interesting one.
