Hi AC,

Numerically the Russians have more, but the US has better deployment systems. If WWIII breaks out with an all out nuclear war it wont much matter about numbers or who gets off the first shot we'll all "cactus".

Apparently, there's no nuclear missile treaties anymore
We might as well have schoolkids 'duck and cover' under their desks again
- for all the good that would actually do
Re-scaring the adults might not be a bad thing

Hi Paul,

From Foxy's bogey-man list of things Trump might do....

"5) He could fulfill his promise to politicize the Justice
Department and regulatory agencies. Giving him more power."

Yes, we are well aware that the Democrats are concerned Trump might do the things the Democrats have been doing ever since the Obamessiah got elected. Democrats fretting over their opponent politicising the DOJ is a bit like Hannibal Lecter fretting that someone else might think of him as being rather tasty.

"6) Trump would be free to lower taxes, impose tariffs, further
restrict access to abortion."

Lower taxes? oh the humanity.
Restrict abortion? Well Trump has said more times than your average lefty can count that he won't do anything to alter abortion and wouldn't sign any abortion bill that came out of Congress; that following the SCOTUS rejection of Roe v Wade, all abortion issues are now with the states.
But as with most things Foxy falls for, the facts aren't really immaterial.

Yep, 4th of July has just occurred in the USA. Of course the entire world should be celebrating the event that bought into being the most successful society the world has known; the most democratic society the world has known; the society that really invented human rights and caused them to be adopted by a good portion of the planet.

Things aren't looking so good for that polity these days as it gets overrun by grifters and charlatans of the left, but all's not yet lost. And even if it is lost for good later this year by re-electing the Democrat regime, still the past two centuries will have made 4 July 1776 a seminal day in the history of the world.

The world would have been a very different and poorer place (in all senses of the word) had the US revolt against George III failed.

In Australia we should always remember that the loss of the 13 colonies was the catalyst for the settling of Port Botany and the eventual entre of this continent into the civilised world.
