Yes, because the majoroty decides, otherwise it is not democracy?!

Yeah, the electoral college is what keeps the big cities from deciding the fate of the entire country. Does it seem fair for LA, with 5 million people, to decide the fate of all of Oklahoma, with only 4 million people?

So you agree that the USA is not a democracy.

That's not what I said, but sure. If it helps you sleep better at night.

You don't understand the difference between a republic and a democracy.

Tabby, if you don't know who, then why do you say that it's the oligarchs? You have to point your finger at someone, right?

Democracy is a chameleonic term often, when it fits someone's argument, the US is Democratic and representatives are democratic, when it doesn't, they aren't.

Cata, I read your post clearly. You criticized the U.S for bring too aggressive and than criticized the U.S for not doing anything about Putin, claiming "All you do is talk".

Either our foreign policy is aggressive or it's weak, it can't be both. I'm asking you to pick a coherent position and stick to it, but it seems like you want to argue just for the sake of arguing.

I think what Cata was getting at was an unrealistic "just" foreign policy.

It's a fact that the USA is not a democracy.

It's beginning, the relations are worsening. Koenders, minister of foreign affairs said that it's a turning point with the US.

If the US tackled Russia more instead of running after oil, I would welcome it's foreign policy. But unfortnetely they are not.
Iraq has WMDs? Let's render the entire country useless! Russia illegally annexes part of Ukraine? Pff!
I have a clear position, you just assumed because you know my stance regarding the US.

Cata, what's your definition of 'tackling Russia'? If sanctions aren't enough for you, then what is?

A world without the US is not a world I would want to live in.

You still have that ugly pic, yikes....
