  1.  @Robodog69  In the global military scale of things, $33 billion in US aid is a drop in the bucket. Iraq by itself was two trillion. I don't think you guys understand how pathetically a billion dollars scales by 2022, or where it all goes. You all see jets, missiles, rifles, tanks. Not troops pay, food, fuel, armories. Your own home states national guards, generally around the size of just a brigade or two, consumes several billions of dollars. For each of the 50 states. And that's not even the active duty military components. And Iraq was NOT as big of an issue to the US future as the Russian invastion of Ukraine is to the World future. Many of you work in buildings worth millions, surrounded by other buildings that cost millions in numerous, plain industrial parks. But you don't spare a second thought for all the tens of millions that are spent around you every day dealing in everyday goods & services.

  2.  @Vermino  Yeah, well I'm pretty sure YOU don't know how money laundering works either. You just like the sound of the word. But the real sin here is that you tried to weaponize the wrong word. Because of course you did. You should have spent more time mastering English comprehension and composition and less time crafting tinfoil hats. The proper nouns are Embezzlement and Bribery, which is what you are alluding to. The laundering would have to happen later after the previous two crimes had already happened.

  3. And now that China is high on that Tiger Juice after that first Hong Kong hit, they are definitely targeting the other 3. Wealth leads to military power, and they know it. And they intend to conquer every penny of it along the pacific rim. Starting with shipping. The moment they feel wealthy and untouchable enough to move on Taiwan, they will have their attack dog NoKo move on SoKo. Which they will then depose and take for themselves. Then it's on to Singapore. From there, no stopping them all the way from India to Australia & Japan.

  4. Just as a sidenote, it's worth noting that passenger aircraft make airlines large chunks of their revenue by hauling freight that has nothing to do with their passengers up top. Most of your air delivered commercial and retail goods didn't fly on a dedicated cargo craft (goods listed as IATA hazmat do, though) but in the belly of passenger aircraft. Your checked baggage only takes up X amount of the drayage space in the bottom of the fuselage. Edit I do cargo certification...the useless crap you learn on the job....

  5. Aristocracy by any other name is an Aristocracy just the same. Trading a royal coat of arms for a corporate logo.

  6. Bush was in my town one day when I got on the freeway to head north towards the airport. And they had closed the freeways down. There was not a single car in sight, and it was freaking me out, because I didn't know what was going on. Turns out, they closed every ramp EXCEPT the very small one from my neighborhood. I didn't see a motorcade or anything, but it was still so bizarre to find myself wondering what emergency might be going on that I didn't know about. By the time I saw traffic again a few minutes later, it was like watching the Mongolian Horde coming down off the steppes.

  8. Because driving 14 miles to 7-11 through the countryside is fucking bullshit.

  10. This is also how the Russian embassy burned so many documents so hard in 2016 that the Fire Department was called in, and turned away at the door by the Ambassador
