they should bury her on the Falklands. Neener Neener.
Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead
So...everybody celebrating wants Argentina to have the Falklands?
If not, then you at least owe her some gratitude.*
* No. Michael Foot wouldn't have. Shut up.
Yes, give the Falklands to Argentina. Also, require Britain to surrender all it's overseas holdings, including the straits of Gibraltar. End the British Empire. No compromises.
A strong ally keeps you safer Justinian, think on it.
Well, I think a better ally would be China. If the U.S. and China were to form a political cartel, the two states could effectively rule the world.
Yeah, more complete authoritarian control of the globe would be better for the tyrants in charge. Very insightful information!

Unfortunately, the tyrants are irrational. They'd rather fight each other for dominance than join forces and be equal shareholders in a monopoly on international power, which will both ensure their survival and maximize their profits. If they continue down their current path, they may end up destroying themselves at the worst.
"Well, I think a better ally would be China. If the U.S. and China were to form a political cartel, the two states could effectively rule the world."
Not true. Britain and EU are far more stable allies then China. Their cultures are far more similar and their intentions far more trustworthy.
China and US are each others main competitors for world dominance. They are logical enemies. Even if china becomes democratic, question is if that situation would change.
World dominance? Neither the EU nor USA is stable. And China is falling apart economically and socially. Their actions are out of desperation, not power.
Don't any of you read about the world at all before posting to an international politics forum!? 
Except all democracies are plutocracies. It amounts to the ruling class competing with each other for votes rather than killing each other with swords.
Justinian without a reason to placate the people then there would be no reason to worry, an alliance of USA and China as two super Tyrannies would mean both would feel they could trample more upon their people....
America used to be an exception to that rule, Justinian I. I advocate returning to such a state where the laws are focused on protecting the rights of the people from government.
Unfortunately, we lost a people who elected virtuous leaders long ago. Today, sheep gladly vote for slavery to the Federal Reserve because they're too ignorant and stupid to understand it or the history behind its creation (and why all of America's founders rebelled against the idea of such a tyrannical institution). Sheep gladly support TSA hands in children's pants because they're terrified of people who literally don't know what the USA is.
Yes, tyrants have been winning a long war to dumb down our people, and most idiots today are so ignorant of their history they couldn't rule themselves responsibly even if they cared to. But America is proof that it can be done. American ingenuity wasn't stolen from natives. American productivity wasn't mined from the land. American prosperity has been the result of free men making the best of their lives. Turns out, free men made the best lives in the history of the planet.
That's the model I think we should build on.
