  1. The first three still had to deal with the Soviets. Rest didn’t. Trump is the only president to get that the Cold War alliances are outdated.

  2. Don’t be one of the long list of people who mistook house cleaning for the US collaping.

  3. They’re only 5% efficient at using their fuel, and they cost a lot to build.

  4. Too unreliable and not enough capacity.

  5. And we will be for any foreseeable future. We’re just done providing free protection for everyone.

  6. It’s really is weird vassalage when the vassals pay nothing and get peace and prosperity for it.

  7.  @RisikoAO  Letting an ally use some of your territory and troops for your benefit isn’t exactly a price. Germany and France love to criticize the US’s foreign policy. Nothing stopping Italy from doing the same.

  8. Because batteries won’t work.

  9. Wind and solar aren’t cheaper, and they have much bigger problems like inconsistency and waste.

  10. Great video on one of the biggest reasons solar sucks.

  11. In English we say America.

  12. We don’t care if other people speak English. The USD being the world’s reserve currency has nothing to do with our allies.

  13. NATO was created to fight the Soviet Union. Russia is a shadow of the Soviets. Also, the Quad has emerged to counter China.

  14. 1) The new generation of reactors will use steam turbines until something better comes along. 2) We could use thorium in current reactors, but we wouldn't get any better results. The important thing is the improved reactor designs. 3) Even if renewables are cheaper right now, new reactors could change that, and it doesn't solve other problems with renewables, like inconsistency. Also, the idea that no one wants nuclear power is a huge lie. Most people are in favor of nuclear power, but it gets so beat on in public that most people won't speak up for it.

  15. You really have no idea what you're talking about. You don't even understand the basics of how anything you talked about works.

  16. Nuclear is going to take a lot less time to build out than solar or wind. In about 10 years the US built 100 reactors that still produce 20% of our electricity. How many millions of solar panels and wind turbines have we built that still only produce 1% of our electricity. Also, between the thorium fuel cycle and sea water extraction of uranium, we have more than enough fuel to last hundreds if not thousands of years. That’s plenty of time to develop even better sources of energy. Furthermore, the spent fuel from the reactors should be reprocessed and reused in reactors, and when better reactors that can burn spent fuel strait are fully developed, we can just use them.
