This community is dedicated to everything related to military. News, questions, and discussion.

RULES

1. Keep it civil. Self explanatory.

2. Refrain from inflammatory behavior. Criticism of the military is allowed here, but critique comments should be tied to the topic at hand. Vague low effort comments are not productive.

3. Memes on Mondays only. Everyone loves memes, but to keep them from overrunning other content, they are limited to Meme Mondays.

4. Posts must be coherent, and on topic to actual military discussion.

5. Posted articles should be titled in a way that does not materially alter the original title. Fixing a grammar or spelling mistake is acceptable, but omitting part of an article's title or naming the post differently in a way that diverges from the title is not allowed.

This is what happens when we betray our allies and support Russia. Regardless of what happens 5 years from now, I doubt America will be trusted.

Probably because they are going to be the topic of discussion. In a “how are we gonna handle this” scenario

Until actual functioning safeguards are put in place, there's no reason to assume the US will stop being vulnerable to bad actors like the GOP abusing their power.

Yeah, kinda a "time for foundations level constitutional upgrade" situation. Happens to nearly all countries at some point and frankly certain frequency. Constitutional rules aren't fit for purpose anymore due to times and circumstances having changed massively and it leads to dysfunctions and problems.

After all the current one is realistically the nations 2nd constitution, so why not move to a 3rd one. First lasted couple decades, second couple centuries. That is a good run, but there is nothing that exceptional about country deciding "Problems and casting faults noticed. its time for rewrite, convene the constitutional conference and let's get to work".

Can we adopt the system we helped the Germans create post ww2? We helped them come up with some really great safeguards against fascism

What system do you mean?

There are 50 USA states and 27 EU members

Give every EU member excluding Denmark and Cyprus 2 USA states
