Tell me what you think gang,

https://youtu.be/MjOSKev6ENU

Here is a video for you guys to digest, if it doesn't make you sick to your stomach I don't know what would. This is for the people who believe we live in a democracy in the US. All other western countries are the same. Democracy and freedom is only an illusion and propaganda that can be taken away whenever those that rule us want to.

Also, it feels like he's preparing to go to war with Iran.... just read his last twits.

Or maybe invade Mexico? Since he also threatened to send U.S. troops to Mexico to stop “bad hombres,” during a phone call with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.

But then again, there's a mounting possibility of military confrontation between the US and China... there's going to be a documentary on this tonight..

yes, i can agree to all that

remember , i live in greece, a country which is in a deadlock situation (actually we're not in a deadlock...we can get up on our feet but it requires sacrifices and a big reality check from not only our politicians but from our citizens too...but that's for another topic)

but what is the alternative? anarchy? rebellion? ww3?


I think leaving the European Union would be a start. Greece was doing great before joining the European Union. It will be very tough at first, but eventually things would improve. All the countries involved need to get out of it and go back to their currencies they had. The European Union was created by those on top as part of the world government. Those on top like I said want a one world government no Independent countries like the European Union. Like what they working on here with the North American Union. And the puppet politicians do what they are told or they are removed from office. They don't get the funds to run a campaign. Are demonized by the media which is a tool of them.

Does it make sense what Merkel is doing in Germany with all the refugees. That is suicide what shes doing and what all those European leaders are doing to their countries. But they do what they are told simple as that. They don't work for their people but for their masters that push for world government.

Re: Tell me what you think gang,

being humane is not a bad thing

as for joining EU, I don't think it was a bad thing...
joining the monetary union on the other hand...that was probably suicidal in the long run

I could go on and write pages on the issue, but sincerely...it's not even worth it anymore

after the shit we got into because of our inadequate politicians (populism runs rampant in greece since the 80s) and our inability to embrace reality, the only solution is to accept that we're bankrupt, reform asap and hope to get back on track sometime before the sun goes out :P

the main problem with EU is that it's not running as a union of equality
and that it tried to achieve economic union before achieving a political one (at least for me)

Helping Mexico with their battle against "bad hombres" (cartels) is not a bad thing but not with military force.

Trump's lack of diplomacy and the idea of protectionism leaves me wondering whether the U.S. will have any allies to help us in any military skirmishes or war...scary.

I believe we have found a new race in the U.S....it is called "idiotism"...don't know if it is a religion...or related to any particular color...but it seems to be predominant in the U.S. on the streets and in the government.

I would not be surprised if the Trump Tower in some location will be the next target of radical groups.

Despite all my negativity, I believe in the end Americans will prevail and be united...regardless of the Trumpism occurring at the present.

Re: Tell me what you think gang,

Being humane is not a bad thing at all but not at your own risk. And like we have agreed here the refugees are mostly men from all over Asia, Africa and not Syria. Why is Europe taking all these people you got Israel and Saudi Arabia taking a big fat 0 refuges, but anyway,

Re: Tell me what you think gang,

perhaps because israel's and saudi arabia's attitude towards immigrants are less humane?
when one migrates, he usually tries to go to a better place

but I understand what you're talking about. most of the people trying to move into other countries are illegal immigrants and not refugees

though how can one achieve to stop illegal immigration when there's such inequality all over the world?

helping immigrants/refugees is the west world's redemption of taking advantage other poor countries (ie buying a cheap pair of jeans made in a sweatshop in india/china) and also the need to prove one's "social" superiority

there are also people who like to help anyone no matter the reason, either because of ideology (see free borders, no nations etc) or because they are simply good samaritans

but what can be done to stop all this?

enforce world wide democracy in every nation? I'm still waiting to see it work. lots of countries had democracy enforces to them by a foreign power...yet only in papers

enforce world wide equality on everyone about everything? utopian socialism is even more of a dream than communism

are there really any alternatives?

I agree, he should have offered the help of the DEA or something, but the way he put it out made it sound like "either get those "bad hombres" or we'll bombard the hideouts where we think they're hiding" or something...... and I know I'm sounding extremist, I don't really think he'll invade Mexico but the funny thing with Trump brand of craziness is that I just can't be a 100% sure nothing insane like that couldn't actually happen.

Libya was one of the wealthiest countries in Africa with Gaddafi the west took him out and Libya is in chaos. How about we let people be.

@albeagle

do you have a solution for the problem? that's what I'm asking

I don't care who caused the problem...I can't go back in time nor can I point to "undo" with my mouse cursor and click a button

what I care for is to find a solution

are you fighting for a solution or are you just fighting to point fingers ?

who said germans are trying to be helpful because of ww2? I think they only try to be helpful in order not to let their society become full of degenerates. the way to social evolution is by helping others, not looking after only your arse. What's the reason of having societies (ie cities) if all we ever gonna do is look after for own self interests?

unless of course your ideology is "eat or be eaten", in which case there's no point in arguing anymore :P

I hate the media...they have way too much influence on the public because the people are clueless in how to read/watch the media...as a whole the news media are too reactionary...create bias opinions...and sometimes misinterpret the truth in haste...and do it redundantly. However, they are a force in keeping the federal and state politicians, as well as, the governmental agencies including law enforcement agencies in check, and hold them accountable for the actions, or lack of actions.

So I watch and read the media as a source of information from a different point of view but never to the point I believe everything they air or print. People have to learn to be very objective and not be swayed by the media...but how do you teach this quality to the "average Joes"??? Maybe this should be part of the education process in the high school years by parents and teachers, especially, since the voting age is 18+.

The media is always biased, there isn't such a thing as objective and neutral media, you have media outlets like CNN & FOX , both are biased but the minute the President starts calling one fake news and praising the other one.... that's just really bad.

And why did I subscribe to Trump's twitter? The guy is just too much! He just re-twitted a news that Samsung may build a factory in the USA and commented "We would love to have you" and includes a link to the story:

https://www.axios.com/trump-effect-samsung-may-build-u-s-factory-2233101986.html

The story is very short, it's this:

Samsung is considering constructing a U.S. factory to produce home appliances, per Reuters. If the plan comes to fruition, Samsung would join Whirlpool as the only major appliance companies that manufacture in the United States.

A win-win: Companies can grab headlines with news of even considering bringing production to the U.S., and the Trump White House benefits from the ability to take credit. These moves may not add up to significant job growth, but it's hard to beat the PR.

I mean.... that's what I call fake news, LOL

To you everything is racist. So he ordered a TEMPORARY immigration ban on some Muslim countries because he wants to make sure who we bring in and that is racist to you? He talks about ILLEGAL immigrants not legal immigrants. If he was racist he would talk about both Illegal and legal immigration in a negative manner.

He banned legal immigrants from going back to their Country of Residence (USA), you do know that, correct? And also, since you're talking legal immigration... you do know that Trump wants to limit the H1-B visas that the technical industry needs so badly? Right?

do you know what TEMPORARY means. What makes you so sure that the technical industry needs HI-B visas so badly. Why not think about hiring Americans first. There is a lot of unemployment here. You got people working part time jobs that have gone to colleges and have loans why not them getting a decent job, and we need people with visas to take our jobs.

And the racial division is created by Trump own actions, it's not just racial, it's just plain bigotry, now wait until he passes the "Religious Freedom" executive order that was leaked..... let's just hope he doesn't or that this is actually "fake news" but if it happens to be real, it basically legalizes discrimination and creates exceptions for people and organizations who claim religious objections to same-sex marriage, premarital sex, abortion, and trans identity.

the tariffs alone made purchasing electronics a luxury !

tariffs and moderation are good only when you can sustain your population and your economy. nowadays everything is based on trade.

but I think albeagle talks about breaking down monopolies/trusts and give breathing air to smaller companies. there are some rules about this in EU and I'm sure there must be sth similar in US. problem is that the economy "servers" do not reset, so the "biggies" will continue to be big no matter what (unless they screw up managerial or otherwise (see scandals))

Transgender population is minuscule yet they are making such a big deal to build transgender bathrooms. Just more problems that we don't need. Feminism is bs, created to destroy the family.

Well, to put it into context, imagine your wife likes the idea of having a wall with your neighbor but she tells you "We don't have the money for it, it's too expensive!" and you tell her, "Don't worry honey, we'll make that dumb neighbor pay for it and oooooohhh, he'll pay for it no matter what, one way or the other"

@albeagle

yes athens was an ok city (not great) and indeed we had no problems living ok

the rest of the country was not so great though. EU grants brought a much needed development to my country. problem was/is that most the $ went to big pockets and offshore companies and to foreign bank accounts (corruption). Could we have been better withouth EU in the long run? who knows...perhaps future generations will find out, because I too believe that EU will crumble unless it reforms.

as for equal rights...you do realize that equal rights is all about the rights of other people and not about what you think should be their rights, don't you?

and women are not just a vessel for growing babies you know...they're the same as you and me...they're humans

it's clear that your definition of racism differs from the widely one accepted

as for mrTrump, he might think that what he says is not racist words, the problem is that the rest of the world (excluding his supporters) does. Take me for example... I couldn't care less for what's going on in US, I don't even live there nor do I have any relatives nor do I plan to visit (although I would love to visit those national parks of yours). I rarely watch tv news (I too think they are biased), I mainly read news/articles etc... so there's no visual impact on my understanding of things. So I read something about mrTrump, and in the article there was also the journalist's comment. I said...this can't be right...so I went and watch the video clip with mrTrump's speech (just his speech from his own mouth, without any media biased comment). well, my reaction was worse than the one I had just by reading of what he said.

You see, not all people have the same values in their lives. Mine and yours, for example, differ. So there's no need of a biased media, nor the need of a global conspiracy to change my ideas/views about certain issues.

Trump doesn't like Aussies, he hang up on their prime minister, because it was a long day, he was tired and it was the worst call by far.

I don't feel alone anymore... Lol.
