  1. Islamic Imperialism Uber Alles. - They used to be German allies.

  2. The Nazis controlled the narrative for a while. It didn't do them any good. In fact it makes them look worse - in retrospect.

  3. Trump is at 50+% in the polls and rising and the Republican coalition is breaking down? TDS. MASSIVE TDS !!!!!

  4. I oppose Islamic Imperialism.

  5.  @SkyRiver1  "incorporates various historic fantasies and intolerant narratives." Islamic Imperialism.

  6. Communism delivers. Again. As usual.

  7.  @cmoneill  I replied to you. YT Censored. Russia has to give up Imperialism if it wants peace.

  8. Addiction is a symptom of PTSD. How does saying NO make the pain go away?

  9. More CO2 greens the planet. I don't get the opposition.

  10. "gets roughly 75% of its energy needs from solar." You have batteries then? Or depend on the grid?

  11.  @carlthor91  Peter, is a reliable energy supply creature.

  12.  @jmpattillo  The power company doesn't get paid retail for power generation. Why should you? It means you are getting service (reliability) you didn't pay for. They want you to pay. Seems fair to me.

  13. Prohibition supports the cartels. Prohibition is a government program. The Government supports the cartels. Any questions?

  14. I have been saying this for a while. Good to see Peter picking it up. ==>. The Ukrainians have a big advantage. The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s.

  15.  @IA100KPDT  Scrupulous attention to detail is an important habit in semiconductor production. "Cheap Chinese knockoff" is a sign of the cultural deficit in that area of habit.

  16.  @nicolasolton  First they must learn the disadvantages of authoritarian systems. One man can not provide all the decisions required. Operational systems are semi-directed and goal oriented. Authoritarian systems are rule based. There are never enough rules.
    2
  17. The Ukrainians have a big advantage. The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s. It has been known for 90 years. And that does not count Russia dismembering Poland with the Nazis. Trump sent 59 armed Tomahawk missiles to a Russian base in Syria at the beginning of his term. They exploded on contact. Vlad took no territory for 4 years. - Trump understood. Clearly.

  18.  @alexarjona1692  No major wars, not much inflation. Even normal people are starting to want that. That makes Trump very dangerous. Normal people are staring to like him.
    2
  19.  @Alopen-xb1rb  " current popularity will fade with everyone outside his base as he gets more attention. " People remember few wars and low inflation and want none of that. Trumps policies were awful.

  20. Read Putin's "Historical Russia" speeches. He has been giving them since 2019. NATO was always an excuse. The REASON was always a Soviet Reunion. Under different management. Or you can consult with Lenin about Russia. The Russian Empire: 'prison house of nations' - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, 1914

  21. Prohibition is a government program. The cartels are sponsored by the government. Your aim is off. Try closer to home.
    2
  22. War is NEVER just for a reason. The Israelis would like to discourage a repeat by making it EXTREMELY unprofitable.
    2
  23. And we help them stay in business with Prohibition. Most addiction is caused by child abuse. Prohibition can't fix that.

  24. Probably not. Plants are designed to operate at a specific temperature. What are the odds geothermal is that hot? Zero - roughly. All those wires will need to be made and strung. Do you have a logistics estimate? Costs? Roll out speed? etc.

  25.  @williammeek4078  How long would the payback be without subsidies? That is the REAL measure.
    2
  26. Wait. Aren't Turkey and Iran working together re Gaza?
    2
  27. Peace and low inflation are not issues. ?????
    2
  28. Which means doubling the capital costs.
    2
  29. Building a military fortress under a densely populated area shows a desire for genocide. No civilian shelters were built.

  30.  @mbern4530  Currently subsidies drive green energy. Subsidy = waste. Current green energy increases waste. Over and above the mineral issues.

  31. My thoughts as well.

  32.  @CMB21497  Weaponry used up on the power grid.

  33.  @s13shaka  Look up rare earth processing China

  34. Water vapor is the #1 Greenhouse Gas by 50 to 1.

  36.  @vincentvancraig  Denial of de Nile. Happens frequently.

  37. It takes 20 years to pay off an industrial plant. You change as little as possible (if it works) until it wears out.

  38.  @AlldatJazz-rw9wy  Updated by the UN. The Palis went to war with the aim of drowning the "occupiers". They lost the war and territory. They would have had more territory if they had chosen peace. And now they are doing it again. Working to start and lose another war.

  39. From what I can tell in two years of commenting on this war - most of those supporting Russia have not read Putin's "Historical Russia" speech.

  40. Renewables without batteries don't work. With batteries - you can't afford it.

  41. The border patrol can't stop the flow of drugs because it has no control over the cause. Dr. Lonny Shavelson found that 70% of female heroin addicts were sexually abused in childhood.

  42. Note that Peter didn't say Biden won the election. "He gained the White House".

  43. Addiction is a symptom of PTSD says Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine Eric Kandel in his book, "The Disordered Mind." Alcoholism = Drug Abuse. Not only that alcohol use produces endorphins. Endorphins are opiates.

  44. Very good on #2. An obvious Russian weakness from the start. Logistics is very difficult in war. Russians have never been good at it. Americans celebrate it. "The Red Ball Express". One of Eisenhower's finest victories.

  45.  @stephenbrickwood1602  Neither have given the matter any study. They believe in "addictive drugs". An impossibility. Receptor science (100+ years old) says there are NO addictive drugs. Drugs fill receptors. What empties receptors (injury, PTSD) causes a desire for pain relieving drugs. Drugs CAN'T cause addiction. People take pain relievers to relieve pain. Running a war based on lies. Your Federal Government in action.

  46.  @jameswamba4338  Conventional understanding of the subject is a stopped up toilet. Receptor science (100+ years old) says there are NO addictive drugs. Drugs fill receptors.

  47.  @johnezzard680  It is worse than that. "Addiction" describes visible behavior. It is actually impossible. Receptor science (100+ years old) says there are NO addictive drugs. Drugs fill receptors. What empties receptors (injury, PTSD) causes a desire for pain relieving drugs. Drugs CAN'T cause addiction. People take pain relievers to relieve pain. Running a war based on lies. Your Federal Government in action.

  50. Did you know that Drug Prohibition supports the cartels? Did you know Drug Prohibition is a Government Program? Peter never suggests, "Stop being stupid".
