What is the NATO?

[mikkel_the_dane]

Yes, but I would recognize that there are also some drawbacks, too. It's really a big job running an empire, and it gets even more compounded when they let things in the homeland just go to pot. It's like devoting all resources to feed the Empire, while Rome starves.

Well, yes. but to a vassal that is different.

I know that there is no middle man standing between me and my health care provider, I don't pay the middle man 700 dollar premiums.

So what's your tax rate? And what about the answers to my other questions?

 

[Stevicus]

Well, yes. but to a vassal that is different.

The vassals don't get to vote in our elections. That may be why they're nervous these days.

Try this one if you don't mind a video. Now if you don't want to see it, ask nice and I might try to google something up, but remember you can do that yourself.

Interesting aside....
Canuckistan is reputed to have higher taxes, in part
to pay for health care. @Wirey & I once compared
our total tax burden....
National income tax
State/province income tax
Local income tax
Payroll/self employment tax
Sales tax
Etc.

Our burden was pretty much the same.

I hate videos. I won't watch them. But I wasn't asking you so there's that aspect.

Videos are best offered as merely a supplement to a
post that stands on its own by providing information.

I totally agree.

Talk of high taxes and waiting for care comes from lobbyists that represent private health care. You don't hear any of that from those that benefit from universal health care.

So what's your wait time? What are your cure levels? How do you find these out? And how do you find out the answers to the other questions I asked without running into lobbyists?

Without going into my medical record, wait times and cure levels are not an issue.

 

[Kathryn]

Without going into my medical record, wait times and cure levels are not an issue.

To clarify, I am not trying to find out YOUR medical record. Still waiting on answers. Or never mind, whichever you choose.

The general answer is that is no overall answer for any aspects of this field. It in American depends on what kinid of insurance you have access to/can afford and in the EU on different local countries and even there different wainting times for different fields.

Now if you are poor universal health care is better because in most cases it will do for you as you can't afford private one.
If you are rich, private health care is better as you can buy what you need.

As for middle class, if you are lucky and don't get sick that much over your lifespan private health care can become cheaper and be worse if you are sick a lot.

It's not a simple organization.
It's a spiritual union made up of principles and common values. And those values imply democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of press, rejection of censorship.
Ukraine wants to join the EU but they are so blind that they do not understand that their laws deface freedom of speech, political pluralism, freedom of the press.
They really need someone to wake them up.

Above all, the EU is a political and economic union to increase leverage on the international scene by acting as a "block" of nations to the outside, and to increase stability and prosperity on the inside.

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

The case of Georgia is identical to that of Kosovo.
No double standards, please.
Kosovo wanted to be independent from Serbia. Abkhazia wanted to be independent from Georgia.

It is not identical.

Slobodan Milosevic. You keep forgetting (or ignoring?) this.

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

This thread is about NATO's actions. Not Russia.
So speak of NATO's actions in Kosovo.
If you refuse to do that, you're simply hijacking the thread and turning into a anti-Russian one.

Once again; NATO in Kosovo was NOT a solo NATO operation. It was by UN mandate to stop warcriminals engaged in demonstrated brutal ethnic cleansing / genocide.

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

NATO is an ongoing and constant threat to world peace.

If it wasn't for NATO, Europe would have been torn apart by war decades ago.

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

Kosovo was a NATO operation

No. It was a UN operation carried out by NATO. Security council resolution 1244

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

Russia invaded Ukraine to save Donbas people.
The law is equal for all.

With which UN security council mandate did they do this?

Answer: none

So no, these are not similar situations.
Stop pretending they are.

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

Yeah, that is a part of it, but not all of it.

It is NO part of it, except as lying russian propaganda.
