You can't hold a valid election if most of the population are not able to vote. That's why there are laws against it.

So if Trump doesn't change his course, the only thing they will achieve is more European deaths, and the loss of their strongest ally.

He keeps talking about how important trade with Europe is, but he should consider what happens to that trade if he takes Putin's side in this conflict.

We don't need the US to win, it will just be a lot more bloody, and we'll take heavier losses than necessary.

But the consequences of Trump and Putin's plan would be far worse, so it will never happen. It can't happen, it would be the end of Europe.

Yeah, we know that, the question is only when people will start utilising the 2nd ammendment, the way it was supposed to.

Stop talking, start walking.

Billionaires. They've always presented themselves this way.

A benevolent billionaire is the exception. It's extremely unlikely for anyone to get that rich without knowingly ruining, or at least jeopardising the lives of at least a few thousand people.

Meta is just pissed they can't buy legislation in Europe, like they can in the US.

They're angry that they can't exploit the EU population the same way they can Americans.

They're acting like their whole business model isn't inherently immoral and borderline dystopian.

Meta cries "lawfare".

Everyone agrees that Meta's data collection and algorithms are predatory. The EU have passed laws to protect their citizens privacy.

These laws apply to everyone. No European company gets any preferential treatment. The law is the same for everyone.

Trump didn't successfully do anything. He just gave the US a reason to spend more money on defence. If they don't, they won't stay the number 1 superpower forever. And Europe won't be buying American, so the US defence industry will crash.

Congratulations. You just played yourself.

The political message, and will of the people of Europe is not "let's give the Americans what they want."

It's "the US is starting to act like an adversary. We need to rearm so that we can defend against any threat, whether it's coming from the east, or if it's coming from the west."

Nah. I would absolutely love it if all games were just fade out/fade in. That alone would be a huge selling point for large games.

In smaller games, it feels like intentionally annoying to make unnecessary loading screens/transitions.

But if the US for some reason decides that Britain or Canada doesn't "deserve" these updates, the systems only work until the enemy changes it's frequencies. Then it's just a stealth jet with sub-par speed and maneuverability.

The US works 24/7 to keep the database updated. This way, the F-35 can spot and identify all enemy assets on the battlefield, and give allies a complete 'live' map of the battlefield.

This is the magic of the F-35. Complete battlefield awareness.

Like, Russian radar changes it's frequencies and output every 2 weeks to avoid getting recognised. Same goes for all equipment that emits signals of any kind. The F-35 can pinpoint these signals from far away and tell the pilot exactly what is emitting the signal.

No, they don't have a kill switch. But the US can stop feeding the plane updates, which it needs every week.

If it doesn't get those updates, the advanced sensors that make the F-35 worth it will progressively become more and more useless.

If there is 1 important life lesson I will teach my kids, it's this:

If anyone tells you they will make you a lot of money, they're lying.

Every. Single. Fucking. Time.

Take a load of your shoulders, sure. Save you thousands? Never. Not in the history of mankind.

One thing to keep in mind:

The reason ISIS isn't blowing up US town squares every few weeks is because Europe controls most ports, and gathers first hand intelligence that the CIA analyses.

You're gonna have a whole new set of problems if we no longer have an incentive to do that for you.

It's funny that the US assumes it has the authority to dictate terms for Europe. And demanding complete ownership of Ukraines money in return?

You and Putin can agree on anything you want, Europe won't accept any of it. For all we care, you just became an enemy.
