What do you think about the new planet (bigger than Jupiter) in our solar system's outer reaches? Its called Tyche.

will this affect pluto's planethood? ;_;

The American people will never actually look at the budget of the United States and demand decrease the amount of money going to the Armed Forces, instead opting for bootstrappy bullshit like believing one of the largest economies in the world can function just like their household budget.

its not a political story so theres no need for a bias view on the event.

it has nothing to do with their lifestyle and they way they think britian should be run.

its a fucking nasa story about a possible planet.

what the fuck (except nasa) does anyone have to gain by propagating such falsity.

attack the guys who claim this statement not the body who reports it.

if it were a story on how this planet is affecting jobs in the UK and how if diana were around things would be different and that this planet needs to get out of our solar sytem because its destroying the fabric of english good society and culture

but its not its just an article about some possible nasa discovery

Americans have one of the first world's worst armies (quality), but they somewhat redeem this with quantity. If you, say, reduce the army to 50 % its current size and actually give recruits proper training, I think your army would be just as good, if not better.

However, why the fuck would anybody want to make army cuts? Suddenly you have like 500 000 jobless people, most of whom joined the army because they were retarded, either mentally, socially, or both.

Who would all have army benefits as well as money/other benefits that would convince them to go to college to get a degree.

The United States could use them as teachers to spread service-based learning and lower the student/teacher ratio in many places.

But we'd have to give more money to the education system for this to work, which won't work with people like Rick Scott (R-FL) in office.

america, as always, acts in its own interests.

it doesn't "defend the free world", it just maximises its ability to trade with other parts of the world.

russia would not invade western europe, way to much trouble, it may however seek influence of eastern european neighbours.

russian army is currently hopeless though. even a nato without america could make it too big a fight.

also uk and france have nukes. enough to destroy european russia.

OP I think that if Tyche is confirmed for not troll we will still call Pluto a planetoid.
