Financial success.

That makes it wrong how?

Problem is, he never was a fat billionaire asshole.

He was a fat millionaire asshole pretending to be a billionaire (if even that, considering his debt).

Which is especially counter to his claims to be a good businessman considering he would have easily become a billionaire if he just invested his heritage in something like S&P 500 instead of playing mogul.

I mean he defrauded rich people.

Off course he gets the book.

Who does he think bribery laws bind if not legislators?

Man how nice ranked choice would be, or even better a system like France's or Germany's.

Ah danke, habs geändert.

As a non native speaker the honest question, why?

Well to a degree.

He certainly didn't want Sweden and Norway to join NATO and I doubt he wanted a multi year long war in Ukraine.

But I do agree that he certainly won't throw nukes just cause hurr durr he is such a crazy dictator.

Whoever decided this can shove a cactus up somewhere.

Fuck you for hurting the most vulnerable;
disgusting decision by disgusting people.

Right to jail.

Believe it or not... jail.

Do you actually wonder?

Those caps get lost way less and since the bottles themselves usually get recycled now the caps also stay in the cycle.

And it took me like 5 bottles to get used to it.
Even a slow learner should get it sooner or later.

That might be true in the US, but that is certainly untrue in other parts of the world, where college/university is way cheaper/free and the pay difference a degree makes can be huge.

I live in Germany and I think it almost always pays off to ge to university, at least if you are interested in anything even close to MINT.
And even in non MINT areas a higher degree opens many doors that otherwise are really hard to get into.

I respect your opinion, but I am completely the other way.

A meal wants to be a journey through your flavors.
Each getting a small time to shine, before coming together in the end for that one last perfect bite.

Not that I disagree with you.

But even as a staunch Euro leftist, I think it is okay that there are people I strongly disagree with, even strongly dislike because I think the fight for values that are against my personal morality.

Both Romney and Cheney are such people.
I don't think they should have political power over other people.

But they share at least a certain common ground with me that the fascists don't.
And for how little I actually like those people, I still value this very difference.

That's just wrong for the simple reason that NATO is vastly superior in any form of conventional warfare.

NATO against russia would be nothing like WW2.
It would be a one sided beating.

And russia would lose and lose fast.

But russia would still have no incentive to be the first to launch nukes, because that would change the situation from bad to total annihilation.

Like I don't know that, like anyone doesn't know that.

Still noone, not the winning side, and especially not the losing side has any real incentive to launch them first.
It's basic game theory, you never choose the option that has you lose absolutely everything, even if the alternative has you lose something big (like a war, or even your life).

Even crazed dictators like Putin know this.
And not even Putin can launch a nuke on his own. Even he needs generals and engineers that all know that not only they themselves will die if they obey, also their families will die, everyone they know will die if they obey.

We will never see full scale nuclear war, because noone at all could ever want that.

But Putin benefits from rubes just letting him bully everyone around him because, boo hoo he is so crazy and scary and after so many crossed red lines the next one surely is the one that makes him suicide himself, his wife, his daughter, his country, his place in history and anyone or anything he ever valued or cared about.

Good job repeating russian propaganda.

Edit: Not that I care about internet points.
But the thought that opposing russia would lead to nuclear war is exactly what Putin wants people in the west to think to keep bullying and suppressing everyone around him.

He is bluffing though and he knows it.

He said delivering supplies to Ukraine was the red line.
He didn't react when we did.

He said delivering arms to Ukraine was the red line.
He didn't react when we did.

He said delivering tanks to Ukraine was the red line.
He didn't react when we did.

He said delivering planes to Ukraine was the red line.
He didn't react when we did.

Because he can't. He knows he would lose everything.

American politics increasingly sound like Warhammer 40,000 politics.

No steps forward...
