The only “upside” is that Putin’s Russia doesn’t look like it will be able to sustain itself for as long as the Soviet Union could after WW2
How so? Russia is in an up and coming economic bloc. BRICS is only going to grow unlike the G7.
It can absolutely happen. Nothing stopping a republic from becoming a dictatorship. If it happened once in history, it will happen again. This thing in particular has happened multiple times. The US may show more resilience but in the end, it is a human system run by humans, and it will be broken by humans.
It is easy to understand. The people who the Republican party appeals to are unlikely to vote Democratic, the Democratic Party by trying to appeal to them it is losing its base while not winning any Republican voters. The people who are likely to vote Democratic are more idealistic and will hold the Democratic Party to a high standard. The promised “push to the left” never came, and so the people are looking at two right wing candidates, the Republicans already got their guy in Trump and anyone even slightly left of center has no one to represent them.

China is so far ahead
Hezbollah was never afraid of the US. It is not Saudi Arabia or Egypt.
Involvement in war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan perhaps
No lies detected. The indigenous peoples know it
It is unique in the perpetrators being colonizers.
I hope I get to sell my house and leave before it all comes crashing down.
Hezbollah never counted on the US, are US leaders this misinformed?
People here need to do better class analysis. People making $250,000 are still working class and share an unfair tax burden. They aren’t owners with their wealth growing passively. Some could be living in a high cost of living area, or some maybe irresponsible with their money, they are still workers and are still being robbed of their labour.
The most expensive thing I own is a $900 bicycle.
How old are you?
I make less than a fifth of what these people make and I still take vacations overseas and have a comfy apartment.
Now try taking care of a household with all their education and healthcare needs.
I never thought heat would be an issue in Île-de-France
When the camel falls the knives are many. Old Arabic saying, I think relevant here.
