@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper I will say I find it interesting that our cost-of-living is so similar, I know for my Canadian friends. They pay a ridiculous amount for everything and most of Europe is expensive.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump has told The Telegraph he is strongly considering pulling the United States out of NATO after it failed to join his war on Iran.
English
@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper That's partially true, the US has lots of programs for people who have to get expensive procedures done
For example, my father had liver cancer. Surgery was expensive. The government paid for it, but you have to ask and apply for it.
English
@charlieg67 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper You can have both though ive never understood why the land of the free put there own people into crippling debt for a procedure or a hospital stay when they dont need to like
English
@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper Haha Americans hate taxes. Remember, we went to war with you guys 250 years ago over taxes.
English
@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper We don't want that, though we don't want higher taxes. Typically the American politician that wins is the one that promises lower taxes. Bernie Sanders would have gave the US universal healthcare by cutting military cost.
English
@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper That could be true. In the US, we could've had universal healthcare if the majority would have voted for Bernie Sanders.
But the majority voted for somebody else.
Sanders would've gutted our military though
English
@charlieg67 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper Lets face it both of our countries could have it better if governors priorities were its people but unfortunately thats never the case
English
@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper Overall, we are similar my taxes are lower a little and my cost the living is lower.
I still have healthcare that my employer pays most of.
Most Americans get healthcare through their employer.
English
@charlieg67 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper Income tax, national insurance, VAT, council tax is pretty much them all
English
@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper They have the supposedly free healthcare that they pay higher taxes on, but when they want to see the doctor, they have to wait sometimes a very long time.
I can go see the doctor right now if I wanted to. Are you guys like Canada in that respect?
English
@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper OK, I have some friends that live in Canada. They have a bunch of other taxes that go along with their normal working wage taxes. Do you guys have that?
Like emission taxes, etc.

@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper Don't know anything about pounds lol
And what is your federal tax percentage?
My work schedule is four days on then four days off. That's pretty typical in my area.
English
English
@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper I work 14 days a month 🤣😂
Get 6 weeks paid vacation so I work less than half the year lol
I have a sweet schedule, but the average American works about 40 hours a week.
I live in Idaho, where do you live? I'd like to compare cost-of-living difference.
English
@charlieg67 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper Do you have much time in your house in the 10 days your off a year?
English
@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper I have all that as well, I make 250k a year and my mortgage is only $600 a month. I'm willing to bet cost of living is much higher where you are at. 🤷🏻♂️
There is really isn't no such thing as "free" someone is paying.
Where are you from?
English
@charlieg67 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper I guarantee i dont pay double your taxes though I also have 6 weeks off a year paid if my partner gets pregnant she gets 9 months paid leave and when she gives birth its free and yea some of my taxes go towards healthcare still significantly lower than yours
English
@frogikozh @FirstSquawk I'm not saying Russia is our ally I'm saying that the US and Russia will never be at war with each other directly. Russia will never threaten our sovereignty and vice versa. Because that would be the end of all of mankind. It would be a nuclear war.
English
@frogikozh @FirstSquawk The US and Russia have been using proxies for a very long time to fight each other but they will never fight each other directly. We don't have to worry about Russia invading the US mainland but that's not the case for Europe.

DONALD TRUMP HAS TOLD THE TELEGRAPH HE IS STRONGLY CONSIDERING PULLING THE UNITED STATES OUT OF NATO AFTER IT FAILED TO JOIN HIS WAR ON IRAN.- TELEGRAPH
English
@oscargoian @Nadira_ali12 How did the US effect Spanish sovereignty? Also he is talking about NATO as a whole not only Spain
The majority of Americans want Trump that is how he got into office. He doesn't push the woke agenda on the American people like Biden did.
English
@charlieg67 @Nadira_ali12 Está mintiendo o no entiende nada;
El acuerdo de España y USA con las bases militares no tienen nada que ver con la OTAN, son acuerdos diferentes.
Si USA no respeta la soberanía española, porque España tiene que respetar a USA??
Creo que Trump será el fin de la grandeza de USA
Español
Trump 🇺🇸: I may cut trade ties with Spain because they didn't support us in war
Pedro Sánchez 🇪🇸: "I am loyal with my allies but can't support in their mistakes. And this war is a big mistake"🔥
English
@oscargoian @Nadira_ali12 I don't know about that, the majority of Iranians want the IRGC out. So let them decide on their new government.
English
@charlieg67 @Nadira_ali12 No sé dónde acabará esa guerra, pero en estos momentos los sucesores de Jamenei son más radicales y realmente Trump ha metido en un lío gordo a los que si le han seguido.
No va a conseguir acabar esa guerra nunca y en cuanto se retire Irán se hará más fuerte.
Español
@Ncks64038978 @CD_XAUUSD @FirstSquawk Fine by me as well
The US will just allow the sale of military equipment to other countries.
For example they must approved the sale of F-35's to Saudi Arabia
The US will find new partners, hell even some European countries would stick with the US if we left NATO
English
@charlieg67 @CD_XAUUSD @FirstSquawk If they spend more on something made in Europe, it will benefit the economy, whereas now they spend on American weapons and manpower, and the money directly goes back to America. So, I say yes, let's do it and stop ordering F-35s and all overpriced weapons—a net loss for the USA.
English
@oscargoian @Nadira_ali12 Threatening and actually doing are two different things.
It can't be a one way street my friend
Zineb Riboua@zriboua
Marco Rubio: "If we can’t use those bases when we need them, then NATO becomes a one-way street." If Marco Rubio, someone who has always been NATO’s greatest advocate for NATO among conservatives says this, it means it’s bad. Really bad.
English
@charlieg67 @Nadira_ali12 España no expuso a nadie, simplemente ha prohibido lanzar ataques desde sus bases o espacio aéreo.
Trump si amenazó con aranceles a España, en lo que no se dio cuenta es que tendrían que imponérselo a toda UE o sería un sin sentido. Además que España solo exporta un 4% a USA
Español
@charlieg67 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper Ah yea real big hitting alliances💀 your country is ran by another already anyway and the more your president opens his mouth the more Europeans want the americans out of Nato also
English
@TobyMeachi20390 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper They spend money on protection, Americans have healthcare if they work.
Your healthcare isn't actually free, your taxes are significantly higher than ours.
Where are you from? I guarantee if you live in Europe your pay close to double in taxes than what I do.
English
@charlieg67 @Carlorene90210 @TheInsiderPaper Your country would rather spend money on ways to kill people than give there own citizens healthcare they can afford 🤣🤣
