We’re seeing the beginnings of further European integration. Who knows, there may even be an EU military in the future.

He’s been saying that he’d entertain buying COMAC for a while. I’m not surprised, in party just because of Airbus and Boeing’s backlog.

While everyone is talking about World War II, it is kind of important to discuss what led the USA to become capable of taking over.

First, the USA was a giant as a successor nation to American colonization. It had significant natural resources, a relatively easily navigable interior, and a budding industrial sector. Unlike Spanish colonies, the USA had pretty good national institutions where wealth could be created.

After the War of 1812, the UK had already shifted its strategic approach to the USA. The UK would allow the USA to be a local hegemon as long as the USA respected existing British colonial claims. This led to the Monroe Doctrine, partially enforced by the UK. There were also a lot of cases where the UK chose not to press claims to antagonize the USA. This included a peaceful solution to the Oregon Territory crisis and not participating in the French invasion of Mexico.

The USA was considered to be a rising great power by the end of the 19th century, including destroying the remnants of the Spanish Empire. Many nations recognized that the USA benefited from the same geographical features that the UK did, with the homeland being far removed from any other competing power.

The USA could have credibly become the leading great power after World War I had the USA not chosen to go into isolation after the war. By then, it was apparent that the USA had a military and economy to be a major international player, but the US Republican Party didn’t want to agree to the international commitments.

So, by the end of World War II, the USA was already the preminent economic power for at least a generation. The USA was then able to build a military capable of fighting a two front war while supplying many of its allies in the war. Meanwhile, the UK was seeing its empire fall apart and knew it couldn’t afford to be the international leader. Choosing between the USA and USSR, the UK chose the USA.

That might be true of you, but that likely isn’t true for a lot of people. I can see a lot of people blanking out over the chemical that have everyone cancer in that movie.

I have the perfect hands to be a surgeon.

They mentioned her because people probably remember what the chemical did and major settlement from the pollution as to why this chemical release is so important.

But you’re going to get a lot of people who don’t want to be around Glassholes as all AR includes a camera.

You can?

S**t!

Well, people aren’t expecting salsa holandesa.

You aren’t supposed to make the President look bad. That is illegal.

Given that domesticated animals adopted some human baby like actions, it is a plausible theory.

The Soviet Union absolutely did imperialism.

It was Andromeda, a TV show.

My post isn’t bait. We’ve gone through the process with HR and then found that the applicant may not have work authorization.

Yeah, but I’m trying to keep this interaction from being a red flag.

I’m not going to report them to ICE, but I’m trying to address all the issues of going non-responsive.

We already expressed going forward with the candidate.

US. We’ve tried to get the applicant to fill out an I-9, which failed.

I’m looking to try to unwind this with as little blowback to the applicant as possible.

Trump blatantly lied all the time as part of his career in real estate. Why would we expect anything different now?
