I think they are a few that flipped but not many because Trump did worse than 2020 there. 

I think that its time to cancel USA as a world leader...

I just wonder... Wil Trump and his lovely friends (including dear Elon) be stopping the lying about the stolen election now that we saw a clear win in a fair election? 

Or will they be using it for the first step towards disassembling the democracy?

Don't attack Brazil though, I recently found out they have - and are getting more - Gripens :bowdown: 

 

How I still wish I could one day see a Draken fly, definitely my number two favourite behind the SR-71 (which I can't forgive my dad about...he once was at an airshow where it flew, long ago, but decided to leave to catch the boat back home and only saw it's shadow...come on man!).

Haha your father is a very cautious person, he wasted a good oportunity to watch all that impresives aircraft.

 

Brazil has the clear best armed forces of Latin America, attack them will be bad for us soon or later :lol:, in the past, both countries have a rivality for being the "powerfull" of South America but that time is in the past, Brazil continue growing and Argentina go down.......Chile and the UK, in the other hand, show concern for the "argentinian rearmament".

Actually, she was introduced and reintroduced several times.  But each time, she was as hopeless as a 1970s :URS car and had to go back to the factory for repairs before being pushed out again. 

Sure but the level of....not sure how to name it...humanity?? of her rival is still shocking. Maybe its different in US. He is not a new guy like with Hillary, he has terrible cv now but still nr1 in US. I find it difficult to believe and living in Poland i'm bit afraid of our future. This guy is unstable.

Overall this is a massive loss for Democrats in terms of popular vote. In the last 30 years Republicans only won one popular vote (George Bush's second term at the peak of war on terror by 3 million votes). Trump won by like 5 million.

I doubt it will go away.

This is going to be a blockbuster win for Trump. He could potentially win all battlegrounds and made significant gains in serious blue states like Virginia, New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut etc. States, with the exception of Virginia, where he virtually didn't run a campaign at all. 

 

Who knew 10 years ago, that Trump of all people will become one of the strongest political figures in American history. Only the second President to be re-elected in non-consecutive terms. And this after the unprecedented rhetoric and events around his persona. 

In the 21st century alone, Obama and Bush achieved the same thing, i.e. 2 terms (or even better, 2 in a row). Before that, in the 90s, it was Bill Clinton and before that Reagan. Trump simply happened to hit upon specific times + a complete lack of any alternative on the Democratic side. Let's not kid ourselves: in 2020, Trump lost only because of Covid. Biden was already a wreck by then and he looked like Brezhnev at the end of his life.

    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams

    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall. 
    • Finally got around to updating post 2 with results from last weekend...that's a lot of German and Austrian flags!
