Norway is a socialist country yet rich. Bernie Sanders = US into more powerful Norway.

So weaker than we are now?

[Donald Trump]

We spend trillions of dollars on our military every year. I believe that is over budget and going to shame. Especially since US Aircraft Carriers have been rendered worthless, we have spent trillions of dollars on them. Might as well assist the American People economically. Anyways, even if he cut the US military budget IN HALF, we would still have the largest budget.

After reading here, I'm very glad i'm for a country with 5 mil inhabitants that nobody takes serious.

At least the country got about 1,5 to 2 trillion $ stashed away for future use. Think my pension is salvaged.

Which country are you from?

Norway. And i have to correct myself.. it's one trillion and growing:

Yep, Norway is in a unique position to generate substantial revenues from oil and gas for European export. Norway is in a net positive asset position and invests those excess oil and gas revenues into passive investments on behalf of its citizens. But, do not assume your nation is debt free! Norway currently maintains a $54B balance in it loan. Minimal debt easily managed. Unfortunately, It is a tasty morsel for Russia, if Russia every decides to become extremely aggressive in Northern European land acquisition. let's all pray that does not happen!

It's a very absurd country. Kind of hard to explain...

It's a socialist country at the same time it's capitalistic.
The country really welcomes foreigners to settle at the same time it really doesn't want foreigners.
It listens to advices from foreign countries at the same time it just gives a shite about it.
The country loves cars but makes it hard to own one.

and the list goes on...

They want to help Chin Chin, but at the same time they wouldn't touch him with a 10 ft cutlass

Shame that it's not off topic because we are talking about politics, which ties into Norway, which ties into the nation's interests, which ties into their humanitarian plans, which ties into them wanting to help you, which ties into them not touching you with an 11 ft cutlass

to be fair we got off topic talking about history for quite some time. but getting back on topic for politics, I have never been interested in politics, Its a pretty broken system honestly. and its like my grandfather once said, people don't vote for the best candidate, they vote for the best liar. not to mention my vote wont matter much here in Kansas. we are a mostly Republican state, and in every election we have always voted republican. well except when it came to electing FDR in 1932. so odds are Trump is going to win Kansas.

We stopped talking about history when chin chin got 360 ladder stalled.
