I hope Turkey does pull out of NATO, and then I hope Trump is elected and cuts US funding of NATO drastically.
After WWII, the United States essentially colonized western Europe. Traditionally it...
Yes, but that doesn't always come across to Americans who are still stuck thinking in the two-party system. For them, it would simply reflect badly upon the Obama administration, just as for the...
Keep in mind too that the US is in the midst of a very volatile presidential election that is basically serving as a referendum on globalism and simultaneously reinvigorating nationalism at home...

Actual national polls here in the US are going to be a lot different than this slashdot poll. I mean aside from giving us a peak into the thoughts of some slashdot members, it really isn't going to...

Well now Erdogan is saying he's back in control and that the coup failed. :fpalm:
I have to admit I'm pretty pumped about what's going on in Turkey right now. I almost wish I could be there to watch it unfold. This will be the beginning of major, major changes in the Middle East....
A lot of Americans have been doing their own investigations and I think we should throw all of these goons responsible for the Syrian situation under the bus and give them "no comment" either.

All of this is why I don't try to impose my will on the universe on some grand scale. Even though I might think I know better sometimes, I'm not smarter than creation itself and the less I try to...
