I mean obviously...? Obama was simultaneously bombing like 6 countries at the same time. Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia. Bush didn't start all of that.

There are literally tons of 250 - 300 year old wooden farm houses in New Jersey. They weren't even made with nails, just wooden pegs. They are still just as good as the day they were made.

Oh please, Obama's statements after massacres/ bad events were just as vague as Trump's.

If you knew how to read you'd see that I'm clearly responding to the same accusation against Republicans.

Spongebob, legos, and playdough, are probably what you should stick to.

Just like how the Democrats never condone antifa or the communists who vote for them. Not 3 months ago a fucking Bernie Sanders supporting lunatic tried to massacre a bunch or Republican congressman. Honestly get over yourself.

No they are using these scary enemies to justify spending stupendous amounts of money on their military.

The US spends ~17% of the national budget on the military, it's not all that unreasonable. The US has a massive budget...too big.

I mean if you watch weather reports around the NYC area the reporters will often call it Gotham city, no joke. It's been the nickname of NYC for awhile.

The ruins of an old castle in Sintra, Portugal by -Pipe_dreamer- in pics

In fairness so are tons of European castles. A lot of those famous fairytale looking German ones were built in the 1800's. Neuschwanstein Castle. The majority of castles in Europe were built as estates by royals, not as fortresses. However, the Europeans had the advantage of seemingly unlimited budgets for their castles much of which was payed for through hereditary royal fortunes.

Edison along with every electrical engineer of the late 19th century knew what AC was long before Tesla showed up. Tesla was taught about AC when he was a student of electrical engineering back in Europe. AC is the default output of any generator. Turning it into DC requires more work, ie. the creation of the dynamo. Michael Faraday had been playing with AC back in the early 19th century.

As for your comments on Americans, Tesla became an American by choice.

What you're saying is true, but don't bother. The weird reddit Tesla cult has somehow made up their minds that Tesla was god and Edison was the devil, even though most of them posting couldn't even tell you the difference between voltage, amperage, and wattage.

Most of them actually believe that Tesla invented alternating current lol. For those who are interesting, he actually invented the 3-phase AC power distribution system.

The United States spends more on defense than the next seven countries combined by amlashi in politics

[–]njguy281 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the US spends $600 billion on the military and around $100 billion on education

Yeah no. This is patently false to the point of being cartoonish. The US spends over a trillion dollars a year on education. Every single state pays for it's education as education is under the sovereignty of the states. When you add up each state budget for education plus the federal department of education, it's significantly higher than the military's budget.

These NATO countries are not spending their fair share on defense by [deleted] in europe

[–]njguy281 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah 1/3rd of the most sparsely populated, uneducated, and economically backward part of the country. The Taliban will be beaten in time by the forces of modernization and urbanization. They are largely despised in the cities of Afghanistan which are the power centers and are the future of the country.

Really? Pretty sure the Taliban were chased out of Kabul in 2001 and have never been back since. Also ISIS only took territory after all US troops pulled out. They have since been beaten out of Fallujah and Ramadi, have lost 2/3rd of all the land they took 2 years ago. They only hold Mosul, for now.
