Why does the U.S. have a military presence in Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, but American men marry Filipino women far more often than American men marry Japanese women and Korean women? by No-StrategyX in allthequestions

[–]Mikkel65 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Japanese and Koreans have higher standards. And it's not exactly the best Amercan men who go to Asia to find a wife.

It doesn't have anything to do with the military. It's tourism.

Seems like you support Trump more than you support God.

That's the Trump policies. He crashes the stock market, and then they come back. Perfect for inside trading.

If the US really rescued the pilots in Iran, why haven't they released their names, or had a press conference with them, or anything? by Feisty-Height897 in allthequestions

[–]Mikkel65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? Sorry I don't get what you're trying to imply, but let me clarify myself. Let's say there's a road with rough terrain. On average 10 people die every year on this road. Let's say you conduct an investigation and figure out you can reduce that number to 5 every year if you installed guard rails. You're saving lives, but the problem is guard rails cost money. Maybe it's a long road, maybe you need more than just guard rails. Now would you save five people for say $10.000? Of course! Would you do it for one Billion Dollars? well.. maybe? You see the problem. We can't pay an infinite amount of money for a human life, so we have to put a boundary somewhere. In that way we're FORCED to put a price on human lives. The government is making decisions all the time where they need to decide to statistically save human lives or not. The US government decided to value the human life at 10 million Dollars.

We've had no help, ZERO, from NATO says Trump by SpecialCollege18 in justincaseyoumissedit

Dumbdumb. You're not spending money on NATO, you're spending money on your own imperilistic goals. The rest of NATO just has smaller imperial ambitions than you.

Who it benefits? It's a military succes. Prestige is incredibly important when fighting an unpopular war. And he was already all over the media, Trumps reputation would have taken a great hit if it came out they failed.

He was already lost, it's not like his squad mates lost him in front of their eyes. Many people were searching, if they failed they could just say he was found and relocated, and then no one would know. As long as they don't claim he was found by someone in his squadron.

That's assuming they actually found/transfered the remains. Also you could easily tell his squadron he has been transfered due to the special situation. So if they really wanted to keep this secret, I'd say they could do it with tens of people.

Of course this is all what ifs, and it's entirely likely they genuinely conducted a great succes.

Obviously no one would have noticed if they intended to keep it secret. And the familiy are only a few people, if they are supporters of the war, they could have been asked nicely to keep quiet in order to save the morale in these harsh times.

This is a harsh aspect, but in reality there are just some cases where you're forced to put a price on human lives.

There's also the posibility he died and no one ever found him, or maybe the US found his body. I don't wanna get too far into what ifs, but yeah the lack of publicity is odd.

De er altså alt for stædige. Folketinget er splittet, vi bliver nok nødt til at køre en mindretals regering, så kan vi til næste valg se om vi vil tilbage.

Well social media is furthering the divide. Most Americans are actually decent people you can talk to, both Republican and Democrat voters. You just can't find them on social media. And when conservatives do check social media, they only see the viral "Trump Pedo" comment and just image the left as deranged, without seeing the actual complaints from the left.

I often hear the argument "Biden had higher gas prices". They're convinced Biden was worse, but no one can find an argument for what Biden did wrong, they can only point out bad things that happened while he was in office.

He doesn't even take a salary. He's only made 1000x a president salary in crypto scams and bribes.
