  2.  @Luiz-jv8lu  Based on what cause? Unlike the Russians, the US and Mexico have a civilized Boundary Treaty of 1970. The Boundary Treaty of 1970 is a treaty between the United States and Mexico that settled all outstanding boundary disputes and uncertainties related to the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte) border between them. Boundary Treaty of 1970's framework enables US and Mexico to exchange interests and minor land territories in a civilized manner.

  3.  @petrbelohoubek6759 >The USA doesn't allow us to have a strong military so... FALSE. The US is complaining about NATO members not fulfilling the 2% of GDP on military spending.

  6.  @marlandtownsend4715  >As an American, let me remind you that the TALIBAN now has those SAME weapons, along with APACHE HELICOPTERS, A1 ,Abrams tanks, night vision goggles, ECT. FAKE NEWS TALIBAN DOES NOT HAVE APACHE Attack HELICOPTERS. The US gave funds to service USSR designed Attack HELICOPTERS. TALIBAN DOES NOT HAVE M1A1 ABRAMS TANKS.

  7. Immigration has been a major part of Meloni's campaigns with promises of stricter border controls, blocking boat landings, and establishing EU-managed centres outside the bloc to evaluate asylum applications. Giorgia Meloni's border protection is similar to Australia's Operation Sovereign Borders with offshore asylum facilities. With Meloni and Salvini’s parties both eurosceptic, the programme commits to “full adherence to the European integration process” while seeking a “more political and less bureaucratic” bloc i.e. "small government" idealogy. Real fascism has a big government ideology.

  9.  @Mavvvy  Approximately 74,000 personnel are permanently assigned to United States EUCOM. 8,500 troops are for rapid reaction requirements. United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) has approximately 375,000 personnel.

  10. False, Trump is enforcing US constitution i.e. congress has to authorize military action in Syria. Obama has bypassed congress with mililary action in Syria.

  11.  @freudianslippers6567  It's the high cost housing market in California. Increasing minimum wage in Cali has a knock on effect that can drive smaller-medium size businesses towards lower cost states. The alternative solution is government supported housing but Californian state government has it's priority towards queue jumping illegal immigrants. Extreme Socialism wouldn't work.

  12. That's the operational condition for US-provided M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems. Ukraine can attack Russia with other weapon systems.

  14.  @aldopolgeo73  Again, 1. There are no US land-based nuclear-armed missiles in Eastern Europe. 2. 150 B61 nuclear bombs are located at their pre-1997 location i.e. Germany, Norway, Italy, Turkey, and Belgium. 3. B61 nuclear bombs are NOT missiles since they need aircraft platforms to carry these bombs to their targets. Try again

  18.  @gangma5734  That's a false assumption and remains unproven. Richer China has strengthened CCP via CCP's state-own companies. The argument for wealthy China to topple CCP is a failed experiment.

  22. 1. Modify the housing supply in Cali 2. Build a fast rail system (with low cost ticket) that can move people from lower cost housing areas to CBD job location. Shift hosing demand to somewhere else.

  23. Germany offered 5000 helmets to Ukraine. Germany might as well offer 5000 black painted broomsticks as gun turrets. German military shortcomings have became a national laughing stock, with reports of one tank unit forced to use a broomstick as a gun when Ursula von der Leyen was Germany's "1st female" defense minister. Ursula von der Leyen is the current President of the European Commission.

  24. 1951 Refugee Convention refers to a person's safety, not picking 2nd or 3rd country with perceiving better economic conditions than the first safe country, hence "economic queue jumpers" for those who didn't stay in the first safe country.

  26.  @Focomty  If the battery storage has a total generation capacity of 100 megawatts and 129 megawatt-hours of energy storage. This has been described as “capable of powering 50,000 homes”, providing 1 hour & 18 minutes of storage or, more controversially, 2.5 minutes of storage. Not including Fish-n-Chip business activity. How many houses are there in Sydney? Sydney: All private dwellings 1,692,119 Do the basic math when scaling with a 2000 MW mega battery. Australia is building multiple mega battery sites.

  27. US Congress hasn't authorized military action in Syria. Obama has bypassed US constitution.

  28. Before that happens, Russia has to fulfill NATO accession candidacy requirements (Membership Action Plan) and it's similar to the EU version. A country's participation in MAP entails the annual presentation of reports concerning its progress on five different measures 1. Willingness to settle international, ethnic or external territorial disputes by peaceful means, commitment to the rule of law and human rights, and democratic control of armed forces 2. Ability to contribute to the organization's defence and missions 3. Devotion of sufficient resources to armed forces to be able to meet the commitments of membership 4. Security of sensitive information, and safeguards ensuring it 5. Compatibility of domestic legislation with NATO cooperation

  29. The US signed Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum that exchanged Ukraine's nuclear weapons (and join Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons) for security assurances. Russia's security assurance is toilet paper.

  34.  @haroldcounts7460  FACTS 1. TALIBAN DOES NOT HAVE APACHE ATTACK HELICOPTERS. The US gave funds to service USSR designed Attack HELICOPTERS, surplus Black Hawk transport helicopters. Afghanistan has Mil Mi-17 (USSR) Mil Mi-24 (USSR), large attack helicopter. Bell UH-1 (US), surplus utility helicopter. HAL Cheetah (India), Sikorsky UH-60 (US). surplus Black Hawks. MD500 Defender (US), surplus light attack helicopter. 2. TALIBAN DOES NOT HAVE M1A1 ABRAMS TANKS. Only lightly-armored surplus Humvees was replaced by US Army's Oshkosh L-ATV. The US dumped surplus Humvees on Afghanistan. LOL Afghanistan has M113 (US) M1117 (US) Humvee (US) International MaxxPro (US) BRDM-2 (USSR) BMP-1 (USSR) BMP-2 (USSR) BTR-60 (USSR) BTR-70 (USSR) BTR-80 (USSR) Your argument is not real.

  38.  @tamilly7941  Real Fascism is big government due to large-scale intervention in people's lives. The US outsourced its Democratic party's authoritarian leftist woke movement to corporations hence major US bank-related corporations have been deplatforming gun-related sales and conservatives. Certain major US bank-related corporations are not politically neutral i.e. they support the Democratic party's agenda.

Whilst expressing Turkey’s support for the UNSCR 1973, Turkey criticised France’s role in the intervention. Turkey, a member of NATO but not the EU, has urged a review of NATO’s operational planning for Libya, whilst blocking NATO-authorised military intervention. Certain large EU members wanted Turkey to be kicked out of NATO or create an EU Army or create a new NATO.

  68. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Russia started a series of events with trade sanctions against Ukraine. LOL.

  75.  @ricb.7067  >USA are importing 90 % titanium & URANIUM from Russia FALSE, that's old information. Australia exports Titanium and Uranium to the US. In 2019 the top exporters of Titanium were the United States ($2.09B), Russia ($680M), Japan ($671M), Germany ($595M), and China ($538M). In 2019 the top exporters of Titanium ores and concentrates were South Africa ($583M), Australia ($305M), Mozambique ($227M), Sierra Leone ($194M), and Ukraine ($186M). Australia is part of the US strategic mineral partners. In Sep 2021, Australia has established state-owned $2 billion funds for rare earth mining in companies. PS; China's entry into WTO in 2001 with CCP state-owned mining companies has weakened WTO's state vs private separation.

  83.  @abcwarrior91  Reminder, North Korea invaded South Korea. The other solution is to let South Korea and Japan to be nuclear weapons armed, but China and Russia doesn't like South Korea and Japan to be nuclear weapons armed. Small developed country like New Zealand has launched it's own rockets with satellite payload into orbit after it's second attempt which is better than North Korea's attempts. Other countries like Australia has launching it's orbital capable rockets and developing it's own nuclear weapons before US stepping in and promised nuclear weapon defence umbrella. Australia is Uranium exporting superpower and fuelling India's nuclear materials (pointed against China and Pakistan). Nuclear weapons armed Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Canada would be a nightmare for China and Russia. US has sold Trident missiles to UK(with independent nuclear bombs), and US can sell the same weapons delivery systems for South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Germany :p German armed with nukes has would combine the means and mental drive to wipe out Russia. Japan armed with nukes has would combine the means and mental drive to wipe out China. Think about it. Careful what you ask for.
