Loves that video! I’m definitely not in either of those camps, but the “US not doing enough” does bring one disturbing question to my mind: why isn’t the US more actively (now and in the past) exporting their greatest achievement. Not US capitalism, mercantilism, military power or anything...

Exactly, if the US were to truly pull back from the global scene, the other super powers would only be too happy to fill the vacuum. (And I’m not counting the EU itself as a superpower any longer. It can only be considered a superpower if it continues to ally with the US) I’d much rather have...

This is ridiculous and short sighted

That too, but I was mainly referencing the difference in style of the videos. Without disrespect to my American friends, but so often American hunting videos are full of bravado, pumping action and strong words. To put it eloquently “Yeehaw!”. While these videos are more quiet, observant and...

Hi @375Fox, what makes you say that "the window is closing fast on LDE"?

I've hunted only one elephant. And I cannot wait to do it again. I cannot explain why, but if I could go out hunting day after day, just looking for elephant, I'd gladly hunt only this animal the rest of my life.

But the real thing I'm madly jealous of, is the US constitution and bill of rights, with its amendments. Nothing even close like it exists in Europe.

I think a system where winner takes all, for the duration of an election cycle, is at least preferable to a system which consists of all political parties above a certain threshold, and needs endless compromise.

I know about the international waters, but couldn't the UN make itself useful in this case, like concerning the arctic and antarctic regions, and impose some rules and restrictions? The hunting of whales in and of itself is for me not more or less problematic than the hunting of elephant. A...

Their fishing fleet should be stopped, as it is threatening global fish numbers.

I don't see how anyone could have had any other interpretation of Trump's remarks around Greenland than what you eloquently wrote out.
