  1. The abandonment of the Kurds was unforgivable.

  2. I would bet the UK is correct and it is politically inconvenient for the US to have the chinese called out about it at this moment.

  3.  @5tre55full  parroting Russian propaganda doesn’t make it more true. Russian soldiers were shooting selfies in front of the Russian missile launcher. Also like it or not we have these reconnaissance satellites and radars and such.

  4. ⁠​⁠ @mando102 So are the Russians about to take Kiev ? A billion in missiles wont get it done just like carpet bombing Cambodia didn’t cause the USA to suddenly win in the 70s. keep in mind 7 million tons of bombs were dropped during the Vietnam war. Also the USA had air superiority and still lost. a couple hundred cruise missile is roundoff error compared to that.

  5. I think Paul is right. There needs to be a real security check. Like Ukraine becomes full nato member.

  6.  @mando102  Right now Russia is just insuring that no one wins. The stupid thing about that is Russia still looses even if Ukraine is destroyed.

  7. Its hard enough to make the Euro work a Bricks currency would just reduce the versatility of the individual countries central banks.

  8. When trump was president it was always a race to see if his experienced cabinet members could save the country from some giant international blunder before trump fired them for “disloyalty”. No one anywhere can afford to go back to that precarious situation.

  9.  @aSpaghettiMan Ok you mean a career politician that has been a senator of a massive state and vice president VS a game show host that has gone bankrupt multiple times and obviously is senile that somehow became president.

  10. i really hope they don’t spend a dollar trying to get him back. They should just put out a warrant for his arrest then see if he turns up ever. Ideally they keep him.

  11. Also that guy is never going to make his tiktok videos anywhere near the front line.

  12. So I was thinking lets say a guy owned a bunch of failing casinos and golf courses. Maybe he needs a loan to get back to profitability. I mean he has expenses to cover like orange spray tan for example. He might take some loans from some eastern europeans that don’t care about his credit score.

  13. The stuff that people actually need , the stuff that is too expensive isn’t really the stuff that comes from china. The stuff that break peoples budget is: Rent , education, Healthcare , food. none of that comes from china. The food problem is mostly a price-fixing by US companies problem. Real-estate prices are being driven up by wall-street investors. Health care is expensive because of a bunch of reasons. We can address these problems right here. We should keep trading with china but there needs to be some rules and some reasonable tariffs. If we stop trading we will have no leverage. Also dishwashers and tvs will be super expensive if we stop.

  14. yea after trump undermines the Ukrainians he will have to do a podcast about little green men in Poland or some other former soviet border countries.

  15. because ukraine is defending against attack. Not dropping 1000lb jdams on civilians

  16.  @ВалентинПузыня its not that hard to stop a navy from landing troops across a sea. Taking a beach and landing troops and equipment is much harder then defending a beach. Especially if the sea is fill of attack subs.

  17. That aid would count for a-lot more if it was on time. The house of representatives probably wasted many Ukrainian soldiers lives waiting for anti missile systems and ammunition.

  18. The US still benefits from international trade especially since most of those transactions are in dollars and we print dollars. Its why we can run deficits without economic disaster. The taxes in the US are lower than they would otherwise be because of this situation.

  19. Did you actually watch the debate or is it that you just cant vote for a woman. It was pretty clear who was the better choice.

  20. Id like to see russia try to take back Manchuria. After a short bit of unpleasantness They would find that their new national language in Moscow is actually mandarin.

  21. When we accept federal contracts we pretty much have to prepare for an audit right off the bat. why don’t congress members get audited more often?

  22. i would say just dont buy one in iran or lebanon and you will probably be fine.

  23. Its like buying a one way ticket you can do it but it invites extra scrutiny.

  24. well yea china needs raw materials but not as much as russia needs to sell so good luck with that.

  25. I think it depends on which syrian government you ask.

  26. Watching republican politicians repeat Russian propaganda just drives me nuts. Acting like traitors just to “Own the libs” and win a primary.

  27. They are usually housed in super rugged containers probably could survive re-entry

  28. I think one problem with the culture in the Chinese government and military is the penalty for failure is so high it encourages asscovering at all cost. Its hard to fix problems when officers are terrified of finding problems.

  29. it does seem like the pagers are for giving Iranian orders

  30. Harris won that debate easily. She baited him into spouting nonsense then let him dig himself into a hole. I cant think of anyone who has done better against him in a debate.

  31. how is that? corruption is pretty bipartisan and court cases take forever.

  32. The dude that took his work laptop to russia to see his fiancé! What the heck. I remember friends of mine not getting clearance for some pot smoking in college. People even loose their CDL for failing a pee test for pot. Kinda looks like a giant double standard. Sure go visit your shady russian ‘fiancée’ with classified documentation but oh man don’t fail that stupid pee test!

  40.  @icarussisyphus  Really what country is doing better? The US prints the world reserve currency. China has its own financial problems. Russia is cut off financially. Inflation is higher everywhere outside of the US. You are either a depressed old man or a foreign propagandist.

  42. trump just makes up numbers the are different from one speech to the next.

  43. How is that? It has been the Biden administration that has transferred the most wepons to Taiwan. It has also been the biden administration that basically ended that ambiguity and Stated that we would intervene on Taiwans behalf. Do some research.

  44. Was it the democrats blocking those aid bills?
