Is America a bully

I'd like to make an analogy of my view of America, I'd liken America to Danaerys Targaeryan in Game of Thrones.

You look at her and you immediately want to get down with her, lie down and let her ride you to prosperity.

She is beautiful, she is rich, she is powerful, the richest and most powerful person in the world in fact, she has a HUGE navy and a super powerful army, she has unconventional weapons that can be used to melt your cities and burn your armies,she has a great network of allies.

If she likes you she could change your status from a common sellsword to the ruler of Mereen

But the moment you get on her bad side, she is ever ready to bring down hell upon you, FIRE AND BLOOD she calls it.

She loves freedom and wishes to be seen as a liberator, but her intervention in Astapor to liberate the slaves left the city in riotous ruin after she withdrew her forces (which made it seem like the cure was worse than the disease).

That's the way I see America in the world (with a bigger dose of self interest though).

If you're an ally welcome to the hegemony and expect a spike in your standard of living, if you happen to fall on the wrong side though…

Sanctions! Regime change! And oh Lord No, INVASION!!

Can the Philippines become a developed country

keep growing its economy. get the Islamist insurgency under control and defeated. solve its traffic problem. The last is the hardest. I’ve the long term solution. First, why doesn’t Grab work everywhere? Remove the regulatory barriers. Second, while ride sharing helps, for a country of the density of the Philippines, mass transit rail is the only solution. However bringing mass transit rail directly to the cores of the cities like Manila is not practical. Instead, for now, take advantage of the growing population, and introduce mass transit rail with every development in the suburbs. Eventually there will be concentric rings of rail around each city, which will reduce the surface traffic in the cores because if it takes 50 times longer to move along the radius as as circumference, people will choose the circumference even if the distance is 6.28 times longer (circumference = 2 * radius * pi). Eventually people will abandon the cores, and this will be an opportunity for ...

What does spending $20bn on the world's longest bridge say about the strength of China's economy

Some people ask questions about China and the Chinese, which shows a complete ignorance of the Questioner. The best question/s come from people who understand China/the Chinese length and breadth of the culture. For example, this man at the best could be 140 lbs and carrying this load to deliver to a restaurant in the Yellow Mountains. The Chinese Government easily could deliver it through Helicopters, but they do not want to kill the livelihood of hundreds of such porter. To the Western World, it may not make sense, but the Eastern Culture makes sense. On the other hand, this mountain man who is fit as the fiddle, loves his livelihood, his mountainous surrounding. He does not give two hoots to bright lights of Shanghai, he does not want to move(I am guessing), and the Government of China recognizes it, and that is why most to the Chinese do not give two hoots for useless democracy and fake freedom. And President Xi and his wife the first lady are the darlings of the masses. Th...

Would it be possible to reintroduce grizzly bears to Mexico and California, and would it be a good idea

This memo, that has been going around, pretty well sums up the subject of bringing grizzlies back to California. The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears, and to take extra precautions. They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be accidentally startled by a hiker. Visitors should also carry pepper spray, just in case a bear is encountered. It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat. Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain little bells, and smell of pepper.
