The irony here is the blessing that in the US, all the dirty laundry gets put on blast for everyone to see.

And the airing of said laundry achieves what exactly? I don't see any knock on effect from that dirty laundry being aired, other than entertaining the masses with new scandal and signaling to the rest of the world that the US is not to be trusted.

No midterm routs in China.

For Europe, the answer is using homegrown metal, even if it is severely underpowered, and accepting that it will be running American and Chinese open-source models for the near future. (Unless the French lobbyists win on Mistral.)

It's the feedback loop of democracy.

If you don't think it's important or needed, well, there is still a lot for you to learn.

You are delusional and indoctrinated.

US per capita spending on healthcare: $13,473 per person

China per capita spending on healthcare: ~$763 per person

Both have average life expectancy of 79 years. LITERALLY China has better healthcare, better housing, literally better in all the ways that count.

What does our "democracy" get us exactly???

Oh really? What about the Epstein files? What about the State protecting billionaire pedophiles? You have got to be naive beyond wit or willfully malicious to spew this nonsense. Did you vote for Trump? I think you did.
