Actually, no. It's amazing to consider, but the United States is *not* the primary beneficiary of NATO in any way, shape, or form. I wonder if anyone can guess which country is?

Someone call Bruce Springsteen! He'll surely know what to do.

Another, likely more significant, factor is that the European economy/economies are basically in the toilet anyway and were before Trump came along.

By that definition the United States has been a fascist state for decades at least, regardless of who the president happened to be or which party he purported to represent.

What I find missing from the paper is a discussion of the observation history of the object, and why discovery of the ring only occurred recently.

Europe is about to get a lesson in the true nature of their relationship with the US; finding out very clearly who the real master is. (Hint: it's the one which has an extensive permanent military presence in the other.) A good thing, too, because the European people are totally in the dark about it thanks to their (non) leaders. Their wake-up call is long overdue. (No, I'm not a Trump supporter.)

That's a good point, but maybe the real problem is that anyone's paying any attention whatsoever to the Grammys. This is the same foofaraw which not only celebrated but indeed venerated and elevated Milli Vanilli. What do they know?

Same reason Google, Apple, and Meta want it.

Are they certain it's coming from China? History has shown this crap can be misdirected.

Every American is under a clear moral obligation at this time to vote for anyone, absolutely anyone, other than a Republican or Democratic party candidate. Voting for candidates from that one party masquerading as two constitutes a crime against humanity.

Let's see the worthless coward turn his wrath towards Instagram and Snapchat.

I guess that makes sense. The Peace Prize is such a steaming pile of manure already they may as well nudge the science prizes down that path as well.

As a native English speaker living by choice in a German-speaking country, I don't agree with their solution. Personally, I would prefer, and think it would be best, if signs were generally in German. I don't need (or want, really) businesses with cutesy English names. If I wanted to be surrounded by that I'd move back to the homeland. However, that ship has, sadly, largely sailed. Fine. Whatever. The actual problem, in fact, is mixing the two languages. It's a horrible habit that people here are learning and practicing far too much. Educated adults may (I hope) be able to do it properly in a pinch, but the youth here are gaining horrible linguistic habits which should not be reinforced by approved commercial usage. If you want to have a sign using the possessive apostrophe, fine, but make your whole name use English, not just part. Thus, Evas Brille, or Eva's Glasses.

And what do you suppose you have earned?
