This is completely untrue, political propaganda.

We cannot destroy the planet. The planet will be just fine without us, just as it was for all but the vanishingly brief period of our presence. Someday you'll be able to destroy the planet, somehow. At present you cannot, even if you want to.

The devil is in the details. When the EU talks about sovereignty, they do not mean sovereignty for the nations of Europe. They mean sovereignty for the central EU "government", meaning the (unelected) European Commission.

And that's exactly the rotten nonsense all the world has come to expect from Europe, which is no different than the festering sore on this Earth which was responsible for so much suffering in the last century. For my part, I can watch RT in Europe whenever I feel like it just fine thanks to that fine American freedom invention, Tor.

That organization no longer really cares about the "32 member states."

...not stirred?

Who cares? I don't like Donald Trump, but I give absolutely no fucks about Jimmy Kimmel. Fuck him and fuck his stupid-ass show, and fuck the worthless morons who care about him.

Actually, no. It's amazing to consider, but the United States is *not* the primary beneficiary of NATO in any way, shape, or form. I wonder if anyone can guess which country is?

Someone call Bruce Springsteen! He'll surely know what to do.

Another, likely more significant, factor is that the European economy/economies are basically in the toilet anyway and were before Trump came along.

By that definition the United States has been a fascist state for decades at least, regardless of who the president happened to be or which party he purported to represent.

What I find missing from the paper is a discussion of the observation history of the object, and why discovery of the ring only occurred recently.

Europe is about to get a lesson in the true nature of their relationship with the US; finding out very clearly who the real master is. (Hint: it's the one which has an extensive permanent military presence in the other.) A good thing, too, because the European people are totally in the dark about it thanks to their (non) leaders. Their wake-up call is long overdue. (No, I'm not a Trump supporter.)

That's a good point, but maybe the real problem is that anyone's paying any attention whatsoever to the Grammys. This is the same foofaraw which not only celebrated but indeed venerated and elevated Milli Vanilli. What do they know?

Same reason Google, Apple, and Meta want it.
