  1. The insurance market is only strong when they don't have to pay out, when they actually have to do their job, it's always an issue.

  2. That is not relegated to Russia, they did that to any area previously Chinese or an area they want to control. South China sea, mountains around India etc.

  3.  @12345anton6789  True but that is not the point if all the other ice melts that is land based.

  4. Where do you think the money is going to come from? Your taxes lol

  5. How is this any different than the US sending arms to Ukraine? nm lol

  6. ESG or ESCG, as it is actually called, is top down and there is an overarching structure this can be seen easily by looking at Blackrock and the WEF, tow the line or get no money. As usual it is a pretty sounding name with shite for policy, like the patriot act etc.

  7. What amazes me is that Russia started this engagement without focusing on military targets from the get go. You would think taking out bases around Kiev and airports etc would have been a priority....like the first thing you would do.... a massive aerial bombardment before they could even get their pants on....

  8. 4:43 here is the problem with this type of argument, you are pricing gold to the dollar not the other way around. "Current worth" or should I say "fixed worth", as it is fixed daily, is part of the issue. Gold amounting to 10 trillion "Dollars" is arbitrary, there is no reason why it could not be valued at 25 trillion, unless you want dollar hegemony. Just as .00001 of a BC could be valued at $X amount, so could any amount of gold, down to the molecular level at this point in technology.

  11. And what would happen if he chose competency over loyalty? The same. You can become competent but loyalty is not learned or bought.

  13.  @heikodankel3245  The people of Eastern Ukraine were the ones being attacked, by Kiev....for about 8 years

  15.  @ivanjulian2532  You cant just freeze treasury bonds lmao the entire world would lose faith in the bond system if they pulled that and the dollar would flop

  16.  @mariomenezes1153  Yeah I know but there is a thing called earthquake insurance and during the 1993 earthquake in LA, a lot of people did not get paid. The whole premise of an earthquake is catastrophe.

  17. Geopolitics in this regard without mentioning the Minsk accords, separatists, and the USA essentially doing the same in northern Syria etc....is bias at best

  18. Watching us? So is Apple, Google, Sony etc and the US Gov....and their allies....and anyone that will pay a fee...this is comedy.

  19. Both Hillary and Biden have done the same if not worse in both their cases. One had evidence destroyed and the other was not a president.

  23. Nothing but propaganda, you can tell just by reading the description, it wouldn't surprise me if he was in Aspen. Don;t forget, you need Russia to make Ukraine look good as it is the only country in the region that has a more corrupt government than Ukraine itself. Zelensky is the most corrupt leader in all of Europe... ALL OF EUROPE, you have to put Russia in there as part of Europe to disguise this.

  24. In Canada they are reporting that most American security agencies think those balloons were hobbyist in nature. Even if not, NORAD tracked them way before they entered the continental US and let them proceed.

  25. China has the numbers but that is all "on paper" type of scenario. The truth is that Taiwan is heavily embedded and the only way to actually soften them up would prob be nukes. There is no way they could just invade, they would be sitting ducks in the water.

  26. It doesn't have to illuminate every law, especially what is considered basic common law all other laws are based off.  @jakeaurod

  29. He was impeached but acquitted, please get an education on what that actually means. Arrested and charged doesn't mean convicted, neither does an impeachment ffs "a lot of numbnuts commentators in this thread that don't understand how precedent is established, or indeed have any understanding of legal matters" LOL  @AutoMattOn

  30. The federalist papers clearly state that the founding fathers did not want prosecutorial powers in the hands of the States in regards to a sitting president, for obvious political reasons. @jakeaurod

  31. But that is for normal citizens, not a president and sorry to tell you he was tried for insurrection under the articles of impeachment and he was acquitted under the proper procedure, any other trial/charge would be double jeopardy.  @jakeaurod

  32. I don;t think that has been tested in this way. And a civil vs criminal trial can't produce double jeopardy anyway so not sure where you are going with that. And this line you keep going on about: "legislature or governor of a state, were empowered to make a simple finding and declaration that there existed a state of rebellion. " A state of rebellion is not a statement of guilt/participation, it is a declaration of an emergency event. @jakeaurod

  33. You are all over the place. No one brought up anything you just said. Only a conviction can decide if Trump was guilty of being in an insurrection or any other crime, the SCOTUS would rule the process that would lead to a conviction, not if he was guilty or not.  @jakeaurod

  36.  @jimluebke3869  I'm talking about naming not about conquering. I mean what does it matter in this context since they do it as a matter of course.

  37.  @ponchupeechu  Did you know that China is not the word for China? We have "renamed" entire countries in English, is there a real point here? Ever heard of Nippon?

  38. This is just stupid lol Why? You would pollute the area around and within your own country and absolutely make sure Ukraine would be a wasteland you could not exploit. Not only that, the world would possibly retaliate against Russia for the act itself, it would be suicidal and stupid and only someone totally stupid or getting paid would suggest this. And to be on point, it would not be in line with their stated goals in Ukraine and that would be comparable to the "police action" that the USA is engaged in, in northern Syria. Helping a group of "separatists" against their corrupt government. Don;t listen to this guy unless it's to understand the current propaganda you are supposed to swallow.

  39.  @tallshort1849  You can't buy loyalty, being loyal precludes financial gain, if someone else can beat the offer, it is not loyalty, you are thinking of a different word.

  41.  @jlspracher  Try being intellectual in your response then, so people actually understand and can refute you.

  43. Is there any "right" that isn't "far right" these days? The actual problem is the left is so far left they think normal people are far right.
