It's a sad thing that many Americans' first introduction to Europe is Charles de Gaulle airport, which serves the same purpose in European transportation as Hell does in Christian theology. CDG is how France punishes Americans for telling World War 2 jokes.

When you're landing at CDG, the pilot says "We are now arriving at Charles de Gaulle Airport. Please prepare to weep tears of blood and rage." That's when you realize the scenes below of people running in circles and screaming in panic is just the line for passport control. It gets worse from there and differs from Dante's Inferno only in that Dante' got out within a single human lifetime.

(Story: I got lost in that place once -- and by 'once', I mean 'every single fucking time' -- and couldn't figure out how to get to the taxi stand. Since no one will give you help at CDG like no one will give you ice water in Hell, I approached this French military guy toting what looked a lot like a MP-5.

"Bonjour, Monsieur," I began, "je ne parle pas français; parlez-vous Anglais?" and I'm trying to scrape together enough of the infantile French I know into some semblance of "how the fuck do I get out of this failure of architectural design and vacancy of God's mercy to get a taxi?", which came out as "Taxi, S'il vous plaît?", probably much to my advantage.

The dude with the MP-5 gives me the Gallic stink-eye, shakes his head slowly, and then points directly up.

"Taxi -->" said the giant sign directly above his head.

"Ah, merci!" I said brightly while he, my mortified wife and pretty much the entire nation of France rolled their eyes.

I so fucking love France!)

Oh yeah!

Well if they spent 54% of their annual budget on their military like the USA, despite facing no outside threat that justified the expense, they wouldn't have the highest standard of living in the world!

Checkmate Norway!

USA!
USA!
USA!
USA!

If we didn't spend 54% on the war machine what would China and Russia be doing?

Exactly what they are doing now....expanding their territories while we sit back and watch.

I don't think you really comprehend how absurdly overpowered our military is. It's a fucking joke.

It's offensive that people accept perpetually expanding military budgets to support planes, tanks, and boats while simultaneously swallowing the lie that we can't support the people in our country.

You can stop at comprehend.

GM can go fuck themselves.
