  1. BS. There isn't a stalemate as the Ukrainians still have the capability to break through Russian lines. Only when both sides offensive capabilities are exhausted should we even talk about a ceasefire.

  2.  @FilAnd01  Putin won't consider the possibility he can't win as long as there hope that Trump will return as president and start supporting his BFF Putin.

  3. It matters to Americans and [latin american] countries who beg for billions of American dollars year after year.

  4.  @filosofiahoy4105  China is supporting Russia? China isn't giving military or financial aid to Russia. They aren't even selling weapons to Russia. Is China undermining Western sanctions. Yes, but not do to a urge to help Russia. They are selling duel use products to Russia at a huge markup, and they are buying Russian natural resources at a huge discount. If China actually wanted to help Russia, then they would trade at the market rate instead of taking advantage of Russia's lack of trade partners to enrich themselves at Russia's expense.

  14. He is popular, because he hates rich jews and poor Muslims? So the appeal is racism?

  15. Russia attacked Ukraine in 2014 for trying to join the EU, because Putin fears an open society with rule of law on the Russian border.

  16.  @paulg930  There wasn't an EU during Germany reunification, so combining countries was more important for investment and freedom of movement for Germany. Also, Romanina doesn't have the money to intergate a country as poor as Moldova.

  17.  @insomniacresurrected1000  It takes about 5 times the forces to take a city. With the numbers of Ukraine fighters in the capital, Russia didn't bring enough soldiers. All Russia can do is their Syria strategy of targeting civilians including hospitals and schools with rockets.

  22. Expectations were low, and Biden somehow stumbled into a situation where all his rivals shot themselves in the foot: Trump endorsing loser candidates, Xi being protested for zero-covid, Iran being protested for a sexist murder, and Putin being humiliated over Ukraine failures.

  23.  @vietimports  I find it funny how arrogant you sound when clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. Gas prices are due to two factors: supply and demand. Biden is responsible for driving up prices on the supply side. Biden's campaign to prevent investment in oil and gas has resulted lower domestic production of gas. He also failed to make up for this shortcoming by convincing Saudi Arabia to supply more to market. Maybe he shouldn't have been so shortsighted by continously insulting their leader. On the demand side, China's zero-covid policy shut down their economy which means they need less oil and gas. This drop in demand has caused the prices to drop temporarily. Why you think Biden deserves any credit for this turn of luck is beyond me.

  24. Why?

  25.  @Pqndchannel  Unlikely. You are more likely to get a ISIS organization to take over than a democratic one. The population is already radicalized. Luckily, they have become too fat and lazy thanks to huge government handouts to actually put the effort into overthrowing the government. When the oil money dries up, the country is going to become a nightmare.

  26. But what would stop a Russian invasion of Ukraine? Ukraine can't cut off Russian gas exports anymore, and Germany would be too energy dependent on Russian gas to sanction Russia.

  29. It sounds like something political actors can use to justify whatever they want. All they have to do reclassify something as an "indirect" benefit and now it's "Socially Profitable". If they want it scrapped, then something is no longer considered beneficial in their eyes, so it is no longer "Socially Profitable". I don't imagine many outsiders want to invest in a country with such opaque laws.

  31. Then we have spend our money on rebuilding skyscrapers as terrorists take over countries and use them as a staging ground to launch attacks.

  32.  @miscellaneoushistory9924  That's history. Al-Qaeda used Afghanistan as a staging point to attack America and ISIS used Syria as staging point to attack Europe.

  33.  @lemagnifique1573  You're right. My uncle who got hurt in the 9/11 attacks is unimportant. Let's just have Al Qaeda rebuild their bases in Afghanistan and talk about building bridges.

  34.  @miscellaneoushistory9924  Bin Laden attacked America for defending Saudi Arabia from Saddam Hussain in the Gulf War. Obviously you agree that over 3,000 Americans deserved to die on 9/11 for simply setting foot in Saudi Arabia at the Saudi government's request.

  35. The Iran general was killed for supplying IEDs that killed thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. Glad he is rotting in Hell.

  40.  @hendriktonisson2915  Because Trump is known for being a methodical intellectual and a forward thinker? Trump didn't have a plan. His only advantage over Biden is that he probably would have listened to his generals when it came to the details of the exit.

  41. Trump isn't great at deal making. He is great at marketing. Trump can run his business into bankruptcy and then gas light the public into thinking he was successful. He can negotiate an agreement that achieves nothing of benefit but then successfully market it as a win.

  42. Neville Chamberlain was actually bragging about the success of the Munich Agreement in 1938. By 1939, Chamberlain was an international laughing stock for being duped by an autocrat.

  44.  @SincerelyFromStephen  Economic inequality is just complaining that some people are richer than you, while ignoring the net benefits to everyone. In socialism, Bob and Juan only get a dollar raise due to limited economic growth. In capitalism, Bob gets a $5 raise while Juan gets a $15 raise as increasing productivity produces more for less. Only fools would prefer everyone remaining equally poor instead of Juan getting richer than Bob.

  45.  @SincerelyFromStephen  While a CEO gets richer at a faster rate than his employees, his employees still have a growing standard of living. It is just petty jealousy to complain that the rich get richer as your quality of life improves. (Btw: Your BS antidotes are disproven by economic data from the Department of Labor.) If you want equality, then look to Cuba and the Soviet Union where there is little economic inequality as the economy stagnates.

  46.  @SincerelyFromStephen  Nice story, but the facts don't support it. If economic inequality is so detrimental, then why is there an inverse relation with poverty? Obviously, greater economic activity due to low taxes and minimal regulation increases the demand for jobs. Just look at the pre-covid US economy when wages were going up to due to low unemployment making companies compete with higher wages.
    1
  47.  @SincerelyFromStephen  The current cost of living crisis is due to Keynesian spending and not Reaganomics. Paying people not to work is obviously terrible for productivity and is a leading cause for inflation. Pre-covid, when low unemployment drove higher wages instead of government interference, the inflation rate was a stable 2%. How can one objectively believe that Biden's economy policy is better for the average worker than Reagan's policy was in the 1980s?

  48.  @SincerelyFromStephen  Maybe you should read an actual economics book instead of just patrioting soundbites from AOC and Bernie Sanders.

  49.  @SincerelyFromStephen  🤣🤣🤣 You are completely out of depth that instead of making a well thought out point, you intentionally take my statement out of context to make a snide comment. Maybe wait to post when you actually know what you are talking about.

  50.  @ingramfry7179 I can't tell if you are intentionally trying to be misleading or if your knowledge really is limited to a 10 second Google search. Your whole point is moot as none of these countries actually follow Reagonmics. You listed a of bunch of African countries that are in no way representive of free market principles. They have a lot big government policies that prevent innovation and scares off investment. This leaves these African economies with only resource extracting companies that support a few corrupt government officials and their friends. You can also look at the opposite end to show that having low gini coefficient just means everyone is poor. Top 5 Countries with the Lowest Gini Coefficients (%) - World Bank: Slovenia - 2018 - 24.6 Czech Republic - 2018 - 25.0 (tie) Slovakia - 2018 - 25.0 (tie) Belarus - 2019 - 25.3 Moldova - 2018 - 25.7
