"is reflecting in Biden's ratings" - thought you folks don't believe in ratings and polls which are always rigged? Perhaps it is ok to embrace them when they suit you. Why not!
"some never do" - confession on your part? Never too late.
I have done just fine in my career, life, and making good money and still going strong; so you can save your pity for the shirtless QAnon Shammans with viking horns. Heard he went to prison; secretly I hoped it was not one of the bizarro Trumpistas posting here, would miss your side's rants (not really).
BTW, Biden totally sucking at his job doesn't surprise anyone as he has been an incompetent doofus all his life but that doesn't change that Trump was a fucked up whacko thug. They are not mutually exclusive you know. But people whose favorite word is libtard will not understand that.

Anyway, I know that some people are mentally blind, so I am not really surprised with your response, though was hoping maybe you removed your blindfold by now like many others did now which is reflecting in Biden's ratings. Wishful poor thinking in my part LOL.
Some people learn as they see and think, some never do.

Posts: 6735Look, USA needs Europe. The day USA distances itself away from Europe, nobody will consider the USD as a saving currency. And then it would tank to rock bottom considering the trade imbalance in the USA. But as long as Europe due to the Marshall help is bound to the USA, we are also bound to back the dollar. And that will continue even after we change onto statewide crypto. Besides Europe and USA have too much in common in terms of culture, although immigration policies might potentially wash that out. And that is dangerous for both parties. So any leader that would try to opt away from Nato wouldn't last long. Currently at least.
Europe has also better schooling system. Germany and Finland especially, so a decoupřing would turn Europe into the main global superpowers instead of USA. And USA knows this very well!
I consider USA and Russia as little puppy brothers not able to agree. Both countries stemming from viking ancestors. So I can't hate anyone. Though I was scammed once by some Russians, so fuck them. But then again currency soon has 0 value anyway.
We need a new financial system just like the Davos guys are advocating. And based on blockchain. But the health passes in the process of getting us there are disgusting.

No, the threat from China to Europe is economic; as such, Europe is now at similar stage as Japan, with stagnating GDP, flat to declining populations, loss of primacy in key industries. They don't stand together. Not even France and DE; GB left, and the Northern and Southern EU divide, rich / poor country divide is pretty obvious. How difficult is for Russia and China to foment internal dissensions even more, whether it is the Yellow vests or whatever. In 1950-2000, EU prospered as we shouldered all the security burden. But many Americans are pissed that EU seems perpetually ungrateful, short sighted, sides more with CCP / Kremlin more than us occasionally, and a bunch of local population are deluded.

Also the Germans killed tons of Roma people. And they wanted to kill everyone with blood type be. That would have killed me also by the way, so fuck them!

Another month after that for girls to repopulate. Basically, even if clubs are open, I'm guessing it might not be worth making the long trip until April, March if you're desperate. Hopefully May will be rocking.

Snowden indiscriminately leaked a large amount of classified into that jeopardized our international operations. Many of our people's lives were in danger, and worse yet the good things they were working to help the locals in horrible spots around the world were endangered. He has been called a traitor by left and right alike; Andreessen who has more right (than Al Gore) to call himself one of the fathers of internet said Snowden is a traitor; many others felt the same way.
I checked Youtube just now and see tons of Rogan's interviews. It must have been particularly egregious stuff that compelled Google to censor him on some clips.
The fact of the matter is, we provide the backstop to many of you in Europe and elsewhere. You can sit there on your butts and criticize us all you want but when Russia invades or your own (a la Nazis in 1940's) invade internally, you run to us. The amount of peace dividend Europe enjoys due to the protection provided by the US is more than enormous. Trump had a very good point about you not taking care of yourself and using our dime to prosper. The thing is, peace and stability are not a god given right, it comes with a cost. That cost was borne by the US for a long time. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men, you can sit there in peaceful Europe and spout anti US rhetoric and your conflations of US and CCP, but I bet if given a binary choice of living in the US or China, even you would not choose China. Or perhaps you would. Either way, Americans will defend their interests and not care one iota about the whingeing from ungrateful Europeans living off our protection.
