Hmm.. Let's see now.

To join NATO, a country must demonstrate a commitment to democratic principles, maintain a stable political environment, and have the capability to contribute to the alliance's defense. Ongoing conflicts can hinder these requirements

So an unelected dictator hardly sounds like a commitment to democratic principles. OK, let's read on:

NATO's Open Door Policy allows for the admission of new members, but it emphasizes that candidate countries must be stable and secure. A country engaged in an active conflict does not meet these criteria.

It almost sounds like Ukraine is ineligible to join nato. Although, that asshole rutte is no stranger in ignoring rules that don't fit him.

So every time he walks out he's reminded why he's doing it. Smart.

I don't think they can just pick and choose cases at a whim. That's why it took so long for Roe v Wade to be overturned, it took a lawsuit that got upped through the different courts to finally have the case presented to SCOTUS.

Fun part is, the case was made by a left-wing activist who wanted it to be a nation-wide thing, with the same rules for every state IIRC. Only to find out it wasn't a law at all because Congress didn't make it.

I know.. The ones I got wrong were basically brain farts as well, "when was the Constitution written". 1776! Oh wait.. It would have probably taken some time to write it up X

Another one about Benjamin Franklin, I mostly know him from the science prospective. The "key on the kite" experiment with lightning. 2 of the 4 answers were dumb, so basically a 50/50. Either President or diplomat, figured why would a diplomat be taught in Dutch schools? X

Who wrote the Constitution was another one I got wrong, also a 50/50 because 2 dumb answers, Madison kind of vaguely rang a bell but Jefferson sounded much more familiar. X

Plus it was kind of a weird test.. One of the questions was:

What are the -two- things why Americans wanted to have independence from Britain

A. 2 options, forgot the exact options. Taxes, something else

B. 2 options, forgot the exact options. Representation, something else

C. 2 options, forgot the exact options. Freedom of religion, something else

D. All of the above

The correct answer was "D: All of the above". But wait a second.. Two plus two plus two is six, right? How come the q states that it only has two reasons?

For shits and giggles did a practice test, had an 80% untrained as a foreigner. Need to brush up on the early history and some early public figures a bit, but the rest was easy.

it's always an eyesore to me if I walk past the US consulate in Amsterdam in June or July, forgot which month. They have a huge rainbow flag hanging there.

I gave up my trust in fiat currency and invested all in stocks, gold, silver, bitcoin. Needed that idiot in the WH to show me how fragile paper is. Made bank.

Half the time I don't even know which country I'm posting from. Government thinking they matter, VPN says they don't.

Reddit sucks.. Been permabanned from r/pics because I "previously replied in subs that don't align with their values, reply to this message if you don't agree". Me: replies because I don't agree. "you have been muted for 28 days for not complying with the rules'. No effing rule to be found anywhere that says you can't reply to the automated ban.

Moderating your own subreddit, ok, that's your business. Being a crybaby and banning people who have posted in r/thedonald is just delusional behavior.

That's a neat way to up the death toll, just claim someone evaporated.
