Trump's comment wasn't an attack on Sweden, per se. Rather it was bullshit* intended for domestic consumption: "I'll protect you from scary foreigners. The Swedes took in a lot of scary foreigners so bad things must be happening there as a result--otherwise the foreigners don't look as scary. Don't let bad thing happen here like happen in Sweden. Support me and I'll keep the scary foreigners out!"
*In Harry G. Frankfurt's meaning of 'speech intended to persuade, without regard for truth'. |

Loetke lost his sponsors but kept his Dancing with the Stars contract. Typical Hollywood.
|
They probably figure a little controversy (maybe even 'casting' Loetke as a villain) will boost the ratings. |

The Union's a bunch of cowards for holding a defensive position 
The Swedes employed a strategy that maximized their chance of winning. Isn't that what you are supposed to do? |

Instead of doing any research some media outlets just throw it out there and let people come to their own conclusion, media's job complete.
|
Everyone is too concerned with being scooped to wait for the facts to come in before reporting. You see it in every breaking news cycle too. Almost every time there is an active shooter the stations all rush out with rumors of multiple shooters which almost always turn out to be wrong. If they say "we're getting reports . . ." I just assume that whatever comes next is at least 50% bullshit |

As for Trump
1) Opposed Iraq War from the very beginning (unlike Clinton)
|
Trump has strongly exaggerated his (early) opposition to the Iraq war:

| You think the show is going to find anything? Even if there is something there (not convinced) my suspicion is that the show will simply stretch things out and get as many seasons as possible, Then maybe tack on a few made for TV specials always ending with "will the Truth ever be known? Find out next time". How many episodes did they pump out of MonsterQuest? And what did they ever find? The same thing The Curse of Oak Island will find. |

I'm guessing you take a lot of mortars??

It's been too long since I've played CC2, but I did usually take an early mortar, sometimes two. However, I think your arguments against it may change my decision on that.
In CC5/LSA I tend to take two or three, especially when defending and/or if I lack tanks. Partly because saving points to buy more units isn't really a factor; even in LSA I've only ever had to worry about running out of points when I got into heavy tank vs tank combat. Partly because, with 15 minute timer, there really is only enough time to kill enemies and then plunge straight ahead until I find more enemy to kill--LSA's too big maps exacerbate that problem--and mortars don't have that much time to sit around pointlessly after using their ammo/smoke. Lately I've been using longer timers (played around with 1 hour, but think it is too long so am trying 30 min now) and actually have time to maneuver around so have been cutting back on the number of mortars I take and focusing more on capturing ground with infantry instead of killing with mortars. |

| I've watched some of the videos but probably less then 1/4th. I've noticed that you don't take mortars. If you explained why I missed that video. Would you mind explaining it here or pointing me to the video with the explanation. |
