Donald Trump approval rating goes negative for first time in presidency

Reply in thread

I'm going out on a limb and saying the approval ratings mean nothing. Some old guy told you he was going to dismantle the government, pick fights with other countries and has a positive rating but it goes negative when he does it? Either the approval ratings are BS or the people rating are idiots. Either way, that would mean the approval ratings are completely useless as a metric.

German security officials believe the Kremlin is laying the groundwork for a potential large-scale conventional war with NATO by the end of the decade

So I just looked into the numbers quickly and am probably off by a bit

NATO has 3.2m active military personnel and 2.2m in reserve

Russia has 1.5m active and 2m reserve

BUT, American forces make up 1.3m of NATOs active and 800k reserve

If I were to randomly combine the American army with Russia rather than NATO for no particular reason,

NATO would have 1.9m active 1.4m reserve and the Axis-sorry I mean Russia and America would have 2.8m active 2.8m reserve...

10000% yes. The easiest people to manipulate are the desperate and manipulators love dangling carrots.

What's worse is that this is easily recognizable but nothing will ever be done about the nutjobs who enjoy watching others suffer at their hand.

There is no reason to believe we don't live in hell
