Anthon said:My 2 cents about Trump.
I think he gets more hatred than he deserves.
When Obama was running the election, he said it was unacceptable US was bombing 2 countries - he made it 7 (lucky number, I guess).
Obama administration has destroyed countless innocent lives, by supporting coups in foreign countries and basically destroying countries like Lybia, Syria etc.
Yes, Trump is a filthy rich business man with questionable morals and motivations - but Obama and Clinton are warmongers and war criminals to me. Yet Trump gets crucified for wanting to build a Mexican wall or saying a bad word a decade ago.
Anthon said:I'm not an American, so I don't care what Americans do in their country (and neither should they intervene in other countries uninvited) - but Trumps foreign policy looks more attractive to me. I welcome his intentions of being friends with Russians, I know a lot about Russian culture and people - believe me, you can reason with them and they don't want war, but if you try to 'show them their place' (like Clinton advocated) they will react.
I guess we will have to wait and see.
There she was, saying Spicer wasn't lying but rather was simply offering us "alternative facts." But even before Trump's CIA speech, Spicer's first press conference, or Kellyanne Conway's attempts to run interference, Trump's team has had problems with telling the truth.
tands said:Dude's right, don't try to pretend Obama out of responsibility for his bombings.
tands said:I hear what you're saying all right, Obama is in the office of the most powerful person in the world, but he's just completely helpless to do ANYTHING decent.

The West is the "we".
Populations are no different from other resources, they have to be sustainable in their country of origin. Most of us have realized that we need to be less of a burden on the world's resources, climate change etc, etc. Exactly the same logic applies to populations. Governments in these countries need to provide pensions so that parents need not produce so many children to look after them in their old age. Simply exporting surplus populations passes the burden to others and its not sustainable.

Most of what he said was fair comment, but there is no point in arguing how we got to where we are now, our ancestors operated under different rules and morality. It is our job to deal with the mess we've inherited, much like climate change.- Take what Banzai was saying into consideration first of all; that the west is or has been consuming a huge amount of resources and polluted tremendously over the years, all in the process of accumulating wealth...
