Kind of disagree. The only way the Democrats can win in 2028 is by making sure there is a fair election. That requires them to actually fight the Republicans. So any Democrats who can actually win the 2028 election would have to be much further to the left.

For anybody wondering: Yes they got merch!

WTF America...

I believe the solution is flooding...

Probably more important is the next paragraph:

There are a few alternative timelines. Some scholars extend the end date of the golden age to around 1350, including the Timurid Renaissance within it,[6][7] while others place the end of the Islamic Golden Age as late as the end of 15th to 16th centuries, including the rise of the Islamic gunpowder empires.

The Ottomans managed to siege Vienna centuries after the end of the Golden Age. They were not that behind in technology. Really the big change happened with the industrial revolution, which the islamic world mostly failed to implement. However at least the Ottomans managed to do a good enough job, to stand the ground against the Brits. Of the none Western world only Japan and depending on how you look at it Russia was better at adopting Western science and technology.

Iran and Moghul India did much worse though.

And this is the sort of stuff we see, when Russia is loosing power. Small things like this remove Russian influence in a lot of places.

A good rule of thumb is just to go by geography. The closer something is to the place you live in the more important it is to you. Both in direct impact and being actionable. You will not do any good, when you are depressed. That is what they want to do.

If something is really important to your life, then you are going to hear of it pretty quickly, even if you do not activly follow the news. So if you are depressed from local news, then just do not read, watch or listen to anything activly.

Luxury housing....

Russia could not even prevent Assad from falling to some militia with some training from Turkey, while Iran was also helping. What do you believe is going to happen, if they would try to fight another professional military? They are not even winning in Ukraine, which gets some support from Europe, while Russia has a full on war economy.

Right now nearly all aid to Ukraine comes from Europe and Russia is not able to win that war. At least not easily. That is with Russia in a war economy, whereas Europe half asses deliveries for the most part and obviously there are over a million professional European soldiers with some really good kit around as well.

The problem is that birth right citizenship is in the constitution. So if Trump can get rid of that, he can get ignore the Bill of Rights as well.

EDIT: Also basically every country has birthright citizenship usually be having a citizen as a parent. What is different in the Americas is jus soli, so being born in the country making you a citizen.

Why do you believe Rutte pushed through the 5% military spending target? It is needed to replace the US in Europe and be a working deterrent to both Russia and the US.

It also is a bad move to leave NATO, as this makes the EU the logical center to coordinate the defense of democracies.
