  1. If the Arctic becomes warmer, the American and Canadian route would also be accessible.

  2. Iran can pull a Vela incident and test one in another part of the world like in North Korea's back yard with their help as their own test.

  3. This is a stupid decision by Congress. Gasoline is a joint product from the refining process. That means peak demand differs for each product produced. The summer driving months will now be the driver of other petroleum product pricing which will cause price swings in other sectors of the market.

  4. I can understand American crewed, but I never understood the need for all the ships to be all American made.

  5. My favorites are his visits to Europe and New Zealand.

  6. Imagine if Ukraine took out the entire Baltic fleet. No more blockade.

  7. From all the examples of Chinese bureaucrat incompetence, an accidental lab leak is the most plausible scenario. In 2021, studies showed there were no bats or Patagonias sold in that Wuha wet market.

  8. Daniels admitted under oath to the feds that the affair never happened. The money was also Cohen's salary per his own statements under oath. Being blackmailed is certainly not a crime.

  9.  @jekkfractal5164  SCOTUS ruled on this recently. Only Congress can exclude a candidate from running for the Presidency per the 14th Amendment.

  10. I am more impressed Peter is giving a dissertation while hiking.

  11. The stats do not pan out. Peter has a point about the wall not stopping every trafficker with a backpack. But the wall made it more difficult and that was not its purpose anyways. It was to deter the vast number of illegal migrations each year. Couple that to his tough policies and illegal immigration dis drop. Even NBC News interviewed a migrant and he said he came under Biden because he would never attempt this under Trump.

  12. God damn! The Russians are their own worst enemy.

  13. The Democrats told us they only needed Biden's warm body in 2020. The consequences of that monkeypaw wish is coming to pass.

  14. Corrupt politicians being poor is a good thing.

  15. Has Peter seen the riots in Chicago from the last few days? I do not care how much clean energy there is. Chicago is a no go zone.

  16. Can you go over whether we can afford to continue policing the oceans? This question would be separate from why we would do it.

  17. What a time we live in when we are fixated with Peter's analysis while he has the flu in a hotel room while we watch from our phones.

  18. Has Peter actually watched the whole Trump statement or is he only getting his information from the mainstream media? Trump was criticizing NATO members for not adhering to their 2% GDP defense spending and he was referring to members who do not fulfill their obligations that he would question whether we should defend them. This is wildly different from Trump not defending NATO members.

  19. China should try to slowly absorb any North Koreans that want out. This would blunt the impact of when North Korea finally collapses. They get a labor force and have an excuse to forward deploy on the Korean Peninsula because nukes. Same for Asiatic Russians.

  20. The issue is even if Venezuelans have a legitimate asylum claim, they have to wait behind the millions of Guatemalans, Hondurans and other illegals from around the world abusing the asylum process at the Southern border.

  21. Kamala is NOT a populist. She is a wole leftist San Francisco authoritarian.

  22. North Korea should take this once in a lifetime opportunity and sell EVERYTHING they got to Russia ASAP.

  23. I never thought electrification of trains would be a disadvantage unless you are in a place where your trains might get shot at.

  24. Can you elaborate on the situation between Iran and Pakistan? Iran was reported to have fired missiles at Pakistan.
