I doubt they ever where. But certainly not anymore. There is doubt their nuclear arsenal even works after decades of neglect.

Use my newly found influence in politics to make sure my kind cannot exist ever again.

It’s a discussion in many classrooms. And also an old one.

Eventually it comes down to “who watches the watchmen”.

Who makes these tests? How can we make sure they are correct and good tests?

Still… We also don’t let anyone drive cars or own guns… … Ehm … Wait… :-)

A voting test. To keep people from voting with “feelings in my bones” instead of knowledge about things.

Gas lighting… Fact is, they have oil in the ground. We do not. (Or unwilling to mine it at that scale) In the past decades, the american oil companies made sure we are still dependant on oil (yes the few EU ones as well).

But I am grateful towards Trump. If anything he woke (he he) us up. We are now moving towards renewables whether we want to or not. Simply to be more independent.

It will be painful, but that path will lead to the EU being better of, and the USA to end up at the bottom of the world. Even China realized this.

Calling us is lovely, but what exactly would you like us to do?

We warned you that they would close the strait and that the world would be powerless. Now you went and did it anyway.

So… Exactly WHAT would you like us to do?

There are mines in that narrow gap now. We need to clear them while Iran is taking potshots at us. Clearing mines takes weeks. Even when NOT being shot at.

No Trump. You break it, you own it.

He should be pleading. But he is demanding. That’s the weird part. He does not have the cards for demanding.

You break it, you own it. He attacked, without reason. Hell! According to them its not even a war. Get congress to declare war first, then we talk.
