They still deserve a token prize for trying though. It’s not their fault they joined the race as everyone changed over to making business rather than making war.
Agree. The Cold War produced new military alliances, including NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and led to nuclear proliferation and proxy wars between and within postcolonial states in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Without the threat of conflict, we wouldn’t have curbed our taste for weapons of mass destruction.
During World War II, despite mutual suspicion and distrust, the United States and Great Britain joined the Soviet Union in an effort to defeat their common enemy, Nazi Germany.

Perhaps Asgardians should take a stand on this one now Trump has left the building. For those who don’t know. “Asgardia, also known as the Space Kingdom of Asgardia and “Asgardia the Space Nation”, is a micronation formed by a group of people who have launched a satellite into Earth orbit. They refer to themselves as “Asgardians” and they have given their satellite the name “Asgardia-1”.

I would hate to be in a country like North Korea, where freedom of speech and religion are completely nonexistent.
There are so many threats to free speech worldwide that I would not be surprised if the idea were completely eroded in the years to come.
Unfortunately, the current age of political correctness poses a huge threat to freedom of speech and religion.
It’s not just in the US. Several countries have provisions for freedom of speech and religion in their constitution.
Why not invest in smart gun technology to make firearms safer?
Banning guns will not make guns safer. In fact, it is more likely to lead to an increase in illicit firearms in the hands of criminals.
Guns are a way of life for most Americans, and this is unlikely to change any time soon.
And one of the leading causes of death
For many Americans, national parks are also synonymous with patriotism.
