LOL Trump know he will fail with the economy, and at both top and bottom borders and that he will fail to win respect anywhere so he needs a real signature achievement and what better than to invade a small country to show how great an asshole he is. Just hope nobody tells him how important Australia is to you guys:
The Importance of Australia to the United States
ByGPF Team - February 3, 2017

Under the Barack Obama administration, the United States began to shift the burden of defense and security to its security partners throughout the world. This shift was gradual and often polite, which masked the fact that it was happening. But the shift was no less tangible because it was courteous. The U.S. has signed new agreements on basing and deployment rights in Australia in recent years, but the U.S. has also pushed Australia to develop its own military capabilities and to assert itself in both its near abroad and the South China Sea.
Under the Trump administration, this process will accelerate. The new U.S. secretary of defense said in his confirmation hearing that the U.S.-led global order is facing its biggest challenge since World War II, and he identified threats from Russia and terrorist groups as well as Chinese aggressiveness in the South China Sea as the key challenges currently facing the United States. The most serious of those issues from Australia’s vantage point is China. The U.S. is prioritizing China as one of its main issues, both from an economic and security perspective. The U.S. will not withdraw from its security commitments to its allies, but it will insist that the burden of defense be shared more equally. The U.S. wants Australia to take a more active role in managing the South Pacific, but it also needs Australia to play a bigger role in the Pacific’s balance of power at large. The problem is that China, the country Australia is primarily balancing against, is Australia’s most important trading partner. This puts Australia in a difficult position, which is no different than the usual state of affairs. The U.S.-Australia relationship could be summed up as a series of instances where the U.S. has asked Australia to support U.S. moves in challenging situations.
On the need to click, yeah, it's weird iHub embedded tweets for awhile then stopped it. I've been thinking of going back to the Q&A board to ask again as you did, but you never got a decent response so i wouldn't ..... for sure.
Ayn Rand was a libertarian until she realized she needed the government for her survival. Just another RW hypocrite! Life's realities had an unfortunate way of intruding on her ideological fantasies.
Yes, Ayn Rand used Medicare and Social Security at the end of her life:
