"I'm American and I'm embarrassed over it" No reason to be embarrassed. ..it ain'T you fault that he us there. He is a product of decades brainwashing the American people and dismanteling the ideals if democracy, freedom and tolerance as once layer down in the constitution. None of the content of this ideals can be lived anymore as ultra fundamentalists and right wing populist are welcomed mainstream. Keeping a nation in fear is the best way to rule and surprise them for the benefit of a few | |||

"I'm American and I'm embarrassed over it" As has been said, don't worry, we're not like Fox News here in Ireland!! Sometimes forgotten with some of the misguided foreign policy, but America is the reason that we're not all speaking German now one major cock like Trump can't erase that fact | |||

"America is fundamentally broken as a country. " Hummm. You've forced me to defend my home land Mr mingo and I don't like it but here it goes Lol In the couple hundred years that America won it's independence we've done some seriously amazing things. Too many to name here. Sure the country isn't perfect but as a whole has accomplished far more than Ireland has in its 100 years of independence. | |||

"Lol thanks guys. I was nearly ready to stick my head in the sand. I'd like to think he's just in the running for entertainment value but I fear he's actually serious and there are ppl that support his rediculous platform" There's a constituency for gobshites all over the world, it's not just America. We have had and continue to have our own tax evaders and criminals and embarrassments. Trump has pots of cash and a big stupid mount, that helps media focus and polls. When push comes to shove I can't see him getting the nomination. | |||

" I'm not denying that it is/was a great country or that it hasn't done amazing things. I'm not saying Ireland is perfect or any better (it's not) But in the last couple of decades the decline of the USA can be easily seen. Politicians that serve corporations and money rather than its people. Militarisation if the police force Waging war by proxy Arming and funding the people who are now its enemies Making bad situations worse with a flawed foreign policy Failed war on drugs. An opposition party that is so out of touch with reality, that in the 21st century it is using christian religious fundamentalism (that would rival the best islamic fundamentalist) to still deny women the right to rule their own bodies, attempt to block same sex marriages by saying the law of god is higher than the law of the land, and will attempt to shut down government when it can't get its way. I have many friends, both Irish and American living over there, and for a time I considered living there myself. But no longer. It is not the best country in the world, and hasn't been for a long time. " The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.” - Bill Hicks (You'll get your cheesecake in the new year) | |||

"Trump is a bit of a fool alright, but in saying that Obama has done nothing to try and stop Isis or at least not much anyway. People are angry at Obama weak leadership skills and that leads people to someone like Trump.. Unfortunately. If I could pick the next president it would probably be Chris Chrsity or maybe Rubio. The democrats have 2 poor choices and republicans are not great either." Christie or Rubio? are you for real? None of the GOP's candidates are electable. Sanders all the way, baby! | |||

"Sanders is a complete idiot" If wanting to usher in fundamental change and serve the people rather than the almighty dollar is idiotic, then he's pretty stupid. He's a genius compared to the rest. Best of a bad lot, by a country mile. | |||

"people seem to forget that it was the Soviet Union that broke the german war machine so it was them we have to thank for not speaking german now. " In this order, the USSR for bleeding the Nazi's dry, the US for unlimited resources and some crack troops, the RAF for breaking the Luftwaffe's back and last but not least Adolf Hitler's penchant for trying to micro manage the military. I personally think that the big difference between the Americans ( and the same for us Western Europeans ) then and now is that it was essentially a bunch of hardy, resilient and resourceful though fuckers who had weathered the Great Depression and World War one. | |||

Not sure on that one...The number of employed people who cannot make ends meet is considerably high...so the welfare in this country is a nice escape goat argument in any western country when failing to address essential matters of a nations well being | |||

A business just releases this work force to the market...but if the entire market has no need for them what to do with this redundant labor reserve...never mind those disadvantaged by nature...The single parents etc... It's a predators world... | |||

The war would just gave lasted longer. After all it wasn'T Stalin neither Communism, it were the Russian people with the sacrifice of 20 million people.

It is known to me that the Crime an campaign ended with a defeat of the Russian... A lost battle is not more then a footnote end the end of a war. Also the Russian /Japanese conflict had no clear winner...It was to expensive for the Russian empire to insist on the campaign which resulted in a withdrawal. Nowhere comparable with the defeat of Germany 1945. Anyway this are historical disputes which miss the until topic of this thread | |||
