Do you think people cannot collaborate without capitalism?

The 2 percent of GDP target is imaginary. They made it up, in no small part because of lobbying from the defense industry. There is no reason for NATO to spend so much more than all other countries combined.

Stopping Russia should have been done through economic and diplomatic means. No amount of NATO bombs or tanks would have stopped the invasion. It only would have fueled the flames and given legitimacy to Russia's claimed insecurity. Economic power is much stronger than military sabre rattling. The EU is founded on that exact principle and it's the reason why it's still together.

Just because the US government likes to funnel trillions to their military industrial complex instead of healthcare, doesn't mean the rest of NATO has to do the same. Even without the US, NATO already spends more on defense than Russia and China combined, even before the invasion of Ukraine.

You know very well that's not what I said. But please educate me why nuclear armageddon is good, actually.

Is this a threat?

It scares me that anyone could come to this conclusion. Are you so clueless about the unimaginable, unprecedented suffering and death that such a conflict would bring, or does your emotional attachment prevent any rational assessment? There is no reality where WW3 and "not necessarily a bad thing" belong in the same sentence.

It's a good thing to punish territorial aggression, but there can be no doubt that WW3 is the worst outcome for everyone.

This doesn't advocate for any substantial improvement of data protections. It's merely a convenience argument to legitimize banning Chinese cars for economic reasons. American car manufacturers will continue to harvest and sell all your data, just with less competition.

Of course, this isn't a surprise coming from the CFR, the lobbying organization for US imperialism.

Not my idea of a good date, but to each their own

Then maybe you should defer judgment unless you know the facts. Polar bears are incredibly strong and will hunt and eat prey much larger than humans.

Is that the nutty putty guy?
