    Joker said it best: their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be.

    The League of Nation was an idea of Wilson, somewhat inacurate theory developping from there that ends the way it does. As a european I feel insulted to be lectured like that. Let's not forget the EU project emerged because it was in the interest of the US at the time. As for Hungary, they were not obliged to join. Ukraine and Belarus are having such a good time. Is the EU realy worse than the alternative ? Yuck.

    The Europee-ons reminds me of an old sow grunting for cream when she doesn't deserve slop. American tax payers are not paying for your collective defense anymore, the tit is DRY. *"You can't have a military alliance with people who do not possess a military."* -George Friedman on EU/NATO/USA alliance post USSR.

    I don't care if Europe militarizes through the EU or individually, as long as they can handle their own defense while we deal with China.

    Preferably together IMO. Giving its history I feel that would be in everyone’s best interest.

    Housing 'bubble' ? What would make you believe that the upward price pressure is part of a bubble and not a sign of limited supply and greater demand, corporate demand? Wall Street firms are buying housing stock to use as rental properties, that's a fact. It is driving prices, while US tariffs are limiting lumber supplies

    I had to stop listening half-way through owing to the poor English of Ryan Bridges, who uses irritating California uptalk, struggles to pronounce the neutral vowel at the end of "Russia", saying "Rush-Ah" instead and uses a guttural fricative instead of aspiration, e.g. after the P in "Poland". This man should never have left primary school and should go on a crash course in English pronunciation.

    The Englishman doesn't speak American, to bad for him. That may be why England is doing so well now-a-days. Think Brexit.
