Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[SteveSC]

Yeah but your comparing a little small outpost to the USA....before even anything else is address within your post...

A small outpost wtf?

Square footage and land mass have nothing to do with governance.

Each state in the US has a local government which is then overseen by an federal government. Each state has restrictive laws and laws some not so restrictive laws. Some can be different to.hownthe federal government sees it too. But ultimately if the party chosen to run the country ie majority and president they can cut off funding to each state.

It's not so free when you have two sets of governments looking down at you making local laws that could affect you and then federal laws.

His point was and he can correct me is that other countries are not as restrictive in some cases. It doesnt matter how big or small the actual land is.

Glasgow is the same distance from the airport as Trump’s hotel just in the opposite direction. Seems unlikely, unless there was a huge city event going on, that cheaper accommodation couldn’t be found somewhere on the way to or within that city.

I’m comparing Ireland because it’s what I know best but I’ve lived in 4 other countries and visited 40+. In my experience, when it comes to freedom, the US is somewhere in the middle of the pack.
I’ve lived in Ireland, the UK, Germany, and Australia. All more free than the US.
The land of the free is a load of nonsense.
I do think there is something to the ‘American dream’ given the size and positioning of the market but lack of regulation is killing that off before our eyes. Upward mobility is dying.

First of all before we discuss anything else...what do you define as freedom?

I think it’s the ability to go about your daily life without government interference or oversight.
I think it’s the ability to freely come and go with minimal government hassle.
I think it’s the ability to pursue any career regardless of your financial standing.
I think it’s living in a system that doesn’t use debt to limit possibility
Thats a start.

So, just before 9/11 trump is tweeting that he had a meeting lined up with the taliban at camp David but he cancelled because they killed a us troop to get leverage?!
He continues to leave me speechless.

All I'm seeing here is 'I think' what are you going to do about it to change your 'thinking' into action?

No offense but if your intention is to insult nations and other users why not go somewhere else.

You have yet to offer anything of substance yourself. So it's ironic you are picking at someone else.

I’m happy with my choices.

So Trump's (now withdrawn) offer to the Taliban then?

American negotiators have reached an “agreement in principle” with Taliban leaders over nine rounds of talks in Qatar aimed at facilitating the withdrawal of the roughly 13,000 US troops who remain in Afghanistan nearly 18 years since the military campaign commenced.

The Camp David talks would have been held three days short of the anniversary of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks by al-Qaida militants who were being harboured in Afghanistan by the then ruling Taliban regime, the justification for the US-led invasion of the country a few weeks later.

Most of the terms of the provisional peace agreement are classified but it would include the withdrawal of 5,000 American soldiers from five bases across Afghanistan by early next year.

The Taliban would agree to renounce al-Qaida, fight the Islamic State group and stop jihadists from using the south Asian country as a safe haven.

If Obama had proposed that, Voyager 1 would have been able to detect the rage from its position on the far outer edge of the solar system.

You asked for his definition of freedom, your response here makes absolutely no sense
