August1991 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Report Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) I am very tired of reading about leftist Americans who believe that 50,000 American deaths in Vietnam were a pointless war. Vietnam was an important battle in the Cold War. America won the Cold War. Let me repeat this: America won the Cold War. Nowadays, Germany is civilised and united. People like Putin and Xi wonder about prices, markets, exchange rates, interest rates. Edited November 11, 2020 by August1991 Quote

Nearly everyone in Canada, Europe, and other Democratic nations can see that Trump is nothing but a bully and liar. He is typical of a South American dictator, but the only problem is that he is now the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth. If Trump and the GOP win big on November 3, the USA is headed for total fascism. Canada will feel like Austria in 1938. Trump? Dictator? Who recorded conversations of an opposing candidate and his staff? Nixon. And Obama. ====== All things considered, I reckon that you misunderstand America, and its Constitution. Quote

I'll have whatever it is you are smoking. In 2016, there is no question that FISA allowed people in the Obama Administration to listen to phone conversations in the Trump campaign. In 1972, the Nixon Administration attempted to do this. They mostly heard about hair-dressing appointments. ======= I am no qanon conspiracy theorist. I have no dog in this fight. But it is obvious to me that some Americans, for whatever reason, don't like Donald Trump. Trump? To me, he's just another American. Like Clinton, Bush or De Niro, another typical American. Biden? Same deal. Whatever. Edited November 14, 2020 by August1991 Quote
August1991 Posted November 19, 2020 Author Report Posted November 19, 2020 But you Americans, for the good of us all, you have made it possible to travel easily everywhere. Can I repeat this: you won the Cold War. I am always surprised when young back-packers (often American, west European) complain about delays in visa issues to enter some country. Ferchrissakes, you have no idea. You have no idea how we got to this world. Quote
-TSS- Posted November 22, 2020 Report Posted November 22, 2020 Even though hardly anybody likes Biden for himself, he just isn't Trump, I guess of the ones on offer in the Democratic primaries he was the least worst. All the other ones had something fundamentally wrong about them to think of them to be president. I just can't help wondering weren't there any Democrats who would have been much better than Biden but who decided not to run. After all, when the primaries started the coronavirus-crisis had not yet fully become the one and only news-story and it seemed more than likely that Trump would be re-elected. Quote

Tommy Posted January 7, 2021 Report Posted January 7, 2021 I think it is better for Biden to be the president of America, as he can provide peace in the United States. Also in my opinion https://ewriters.pro/ can provide stability and peace your writing works, as you can be sure that your work will be done correctly and with full confidentiality of your data Quote
DogOnPorch Posted January 7, 2021 Report Posted January 7, 2021 Peace in the United States? Joe Biden? Dream on. There will be foreign wars too...back to invading the Third World. Syria looks ripe. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

It did but had no real bearing on the Cold War. They did learn a lot from their military mistakes but no much politicly. In reality, the Soviets backed a winner with little cost to themselves. Quote
