How is this POSSIBLE? Our PRESIDENT got the FIFA Peace Prize!

The link just goes to a photo. There's no article.

What substack? You didn't link anything.

Has been since at least the 50's.

We all need to do better to support opposition candidates and show the world we aren't in alignment with this scum.

The Solar System

yes..and ?

What saddens me is that the U.S. could have been the complete opposite.

After WWII, the modern day version of carrier strike groups could have been made more numourous and larger. But instead of just patrolling chunks of the ocean for no goddamn reason, the MOMENT a country's armed forces cross into a neighboring country that agressor country gets obliterated by the strike group in that location.

In turn, the US could never seek to expand its borders, and would remain neutral in all future conflict.

Sure this would have pissed Russia off, but look at China - other than their childish problem losing Taiwan and Hong Kong (RIP) they probably wouldn't have had a problem with it.

Hell, the US DEMONSTRATED the capability to do this with the first Gulf War.

I will now wait for a chaotic inbox.

Saying this in a world with Russia is mindboggling

*The current US Administration....

I am also the US, as is my spouse, my neighbors, and my goofy artist father, amongst many others.

E pluribus unem

I do not support the core of the current administration. There are however plenty of good folks in office too--nationally and more locally, depending on the area.

The world is not so black & white.

"I say things you like on a blog, give me money"?

The US Gov and the reds, that is.

I believe as of now, that title is still held by Russia; but yes US is a strong contender

The article makes no argument for why the US is more of a threat than other states or non-state actors. Just that it's bad. For sure, it's bad. Really bad.

But the biggest threat to world peace? Get real.

The article itself clearly acknowledges that the west is generally still simpatico. So is it the US that's the threat, or is it Europe and Australia too?

This conflict is challenging because it's a couple of bad guys shooting missiles at third bad guy, who then shoots back at the first bad guy and the other bad guy's bases located in yet more bad guy countries.

Ukraine is maybe less challenging. Dude was just standing there when Putin decided he wanted to steal a chunk of a sovereign nation. It's not a CIA Op.
