    Trump unveils plan for Palestinian subjugation

    Trump should really fire his son in law. He basically spent 3 years to document the as-is situation and than proposes a plan which consists of officiating it... This simply won't work and will probably cause a lot of ire in the Arab world.

    the 45th is The Fourth US President to officially Face Impeachment.

    You know there is a point where one doesn't even need evidence of direct involvement to realize something is very wrong. Trump's surrounding has been involved in unethical and/or criminal affairs ever since his campaign. It has been scandal after scandal ever since. How many people around him...

    US-Approved Air Strike Kills Iranian Military Commander Soleimani

    You're assuming Trump wants a draw down of US troops. Had he really wanted that he would have continued Obama's (& the rest of the international community's) attempt at appeasement with Iran. Instead he decided to tear down the nuclear deal and push Iran into more proxy conflicts with the US...

    [Politics] UK Suspends Parliament

    How was it horrible? And how did the EU refuse a deal they negociated and approved with May? You're confusing the EU with the UK parliament. You say that as if it was a pattern but this is the first time a member state is trying to leave.

    Right-wing coup in Bolivia

    Well to be fair I think Term limits would be the least useful in circumstances "like ours". This said you can never guarantee a policy cannot backfire. Here the problem is that the opposition were camouflaged authoritarians, as they haven't held office for the three last terms it's hard to...

    Right-wing coup in Bolivia

    It took rising metro tickets in Chile. It took rising diesel taxes for the Gilets jaunes in France. It took an extradition bill in Hong Kong (despite China already being all over Hong Kong for years). Why not a blatant and high profile constitutional violation in Russia? And the point...

    Right-wing coup in Bolivia

    Perhaps, but perhaps his blatant and clear breaking of the law would have bolstered his opposition, caused civil unrest, etc. Who knows what would have happened. I'm not relying on assumptions about peoples' priorities. I'm relying on a vote with a high turnout which said "NO" to Morales...

    Right-wing coup in Bolivia

    Ok let's be clear: I supported the movement to remove Morales from office and organize new fair and free elections, which was initially what was presented to us. What I do not support is the current authoritarian turn the opposition is taking: - violent police/military repression and a...

    Right-wing coup in Bolivia

    Because he circumvented the weak term limit. The term limit should have barred him from being prime Minister under Medvedev, this would have given at least one term without Putin being deeply involved. The fact he found it necessary to ridiculously bypass the term limit the way he did shows he...

    Santiago, Chile is rioting

    Oh yes there are certain states which are more or less conservative, no discussion here. But the general US trend still got someone like Donald Trump elected. And no each US states are not like individual countries because you have an overarching US government. Just like here in Belgium, we...

    Right-wing coup in Bolivia

    I believe that presidential democracies require a term limit. This is because presidential democracies tend to be more about specific individuals rather than parties and they tend to give more power to the elected individual. As such presidents can more easily use their power and charisma to...

    Right-wing coup in Bolivia

    None of this make Evo's action any less wrong. Ideally he would have let someone else of his party run, that person would have likely won and none of the current shit would be going on. There wouldn't have been an opportunity for the increasingly authoritarian opposition to use a popular protest...

    Santiago, Chile is rioting

    You're correct, depending on the nation time limits can be more or less strict. But in contrario to the US, where some states continuously try to render abortions quasi impossible, as far as I know in western european nations people don't question existing abortion rights and the general trend...

    Santiago, Chile is rioting

    I beg to differ, while certain eastern european nations are very conservative western continental europe is very much to the left of the US. Whether it be with regards to subsidizing higher education, healthcare, gay rights, abortion rights or even immigration. I mean it's so far to the left...

    Wall Funding

    Why wouldn't people believe him? What you seem to overlook is that people didn't oppose Trump's wall idea because they didn't believe he could build it. They did so because they believe it's a giant waste of money. And wasn't Mexico supposed to pay for it?
