  1. It is just fantasy and really a paper deal that China is proud to show off.

  2.  @j.langer5949  Russian arms have not looked that advanced in Ukrainian conflict so not much chance thy are going to help Iran against Israel.

  3. It is simple they will buy their goods from somewhere else or how should I put it they will get their goods manufactured somewhere else.

  4. Good luck with those German/Russian cars.

  5. Ukraine economy has already collapsed. This not about economy for Ukraine and is about pure survival. If Ukraine does manage to repel Russia and exist then the economic problems will be after that.

  6. What on earth are you talking about?

  7.  @strategicviewpoint6672  People are assuming that US debt is a Promissory when it is not. The bulk of US debt is nothing more than a government accounting and finance exercise. It is not hard money with repayments. People are trying to apply personal finance concepts to a currency that is part of an economy that has thousands of trillions in assets. On top of that people then take the business cycle to be the same as the currency and economic assets.

  8. Russia is most certain a collection of cultures held together by force and 20% of Russia is not ethnically Russian and is made up of a series of cultures. Russia most certainly is the very definition of an actual empire.

  9. What countries do you think can benefit? The problem is that energy is also going to be an issue.

  11. No the countries will vanish and they will either be part of another country or they will start all over again.

  12.  @worfoz  You are talking nonsense. Western politicians decided that the world was global and that they would represent global interests. Guess what people are finding that it is not a truly global world.

  13. It is all about cost and capabilities.

  14. Yes there is going to be a period in which easy capital is not available. He never said that was not going to happen. He never said everything was going to be easy.

  15. You heard that all in your own head.

  16. Then Russia should not have invaded that could mean invading Europe.

  17. There are thousands of banks in the US. Some are going to be subject to crisis. It is just natural. No conspiracy theory design required.

  18. A lot of addicts end up in the prison system because they commit crimes and that is where the treatment should be starting. Until prisons get rid of common areas and start having one prisoner per cell and not allowing them to mix it will not change.

  19.  dihvocfoscocudvyvdd  And republicans are not political conservatives. Who are you trying to kid with that. Now I am not for one moment claiming that democratic voters are socialists. But we all know that the likes Sanders and fifty others in the political side of the part are socialists. I suspect that democrats will on mass reject the socialists at some point.

  20.  @DrDude-fp6mr  Most of that will change once the world order starts to change.

  21. That makes no sense at all. You cannot control people and their usage. If it is not Twitter it will be something else. You would have to ban all screens just to achieve what you think would be a good thing and then people may just find another way to play.

  22. It is just science research nothing else. It is not an engineering system that can be applied.

  23.  @williamhenry8914  It is easy to make claims of ramping up equipment and so on but to have it implemented in the field with trained personnel is a different matter altogether.

  24.  @williamhenry8914  They have been training and deploying as many troops as they can. They have lots of untrained auxiliary personnel but that is not going to be applicable to a mobile force that can follow direct command instructions. It is far more complex that people realize to train troops and get them equipped. A year is not enough time.

  25. That 16.9% was the Reagan Regime but they were doing it as a response to the inflationary problem that they were facing which was caused during the era of Carter. Interest rates in the mid to late 1970s was down in the 5% range when it should have been double or triple that.

  26. That is just a fantasy.

  27. But where do they send it and then do they have the resources to keep those systems pumping if they are not earning?

  28. What do you mean spreading thin? The US is not spread thin not even close.

  29. 99% of Americans agree with one other and are not hardcore extremists that the media would make out. Most Americans do not sit around all day thinking about politics in issues such as gender and race. The vast majority of black Americans and white Americans work with one other every single day with zero issues. Most Americans want a police force. The US economy is under performing because it is acting as world policeman and trying its hardest to create a stable world but is probably losing that battle. At some point America is going to realize it cannot police the world and will give up.

  30. What can they do about it?

  31.  @Slutuppnu  The problem with prosecuting or putting the idea of war crimes above russian heads is that they may then mentally move over to all or nothing as in their mind they would be as good as dead if the war ended.

  32. That is what he has stated in the video due to the variants through mutation occurring. One of the theories back in 2020 was that the virus would mutated to a point that it would be like seasonal flu

  33. It depends on what they are used for.

  34. That is not going to help those who are now retiring and cannot be replaced.

  35. It could be that the Russians were not fooled and simply do not have the capacity to defend their positions.

  36. So far the Europeans are saying that it is to stop enriching Russia not to cause their immediate collapse.

  37. The job of the Fed is money supply only.

  38. The US nation was not divided under Bush it was only the media pushing that.

  39. Wait a minute you think they are going to be constructing fusion reactors for every building? That is pure science fiction at present.

  40.  @BuddyLee23  The Balloon was tracked by the airforce, shot down and everybody knows about it. What exactly do you think China learned from it?

  41.  @teddybearroosevelt1847  You actually think the average democrat voter cares about any of that. The just voted in an old president to replace an old president. One was offensive and appears not to be with it. Most people do not care about this when buying their products.

  42. Russia may invade Europe next and it most certainly is in Europe's interest to try and get a stalemate at the very least in Ukraine.

  43.  @brianpeters9457  Jefferson gave protection to people in an era that was very difficult to do so. During the foundation of the US government and state there was several sides that were competing for power and some of them wanted to keep the slave trade. Jefferson did not want slavery to remain but he like Washington realized that they could not take it head on. They were still effectively at an uneasy juncture with the British. It took the US 70 years to fully address the issue of slavery. Some of them held slaves so as to protect them from the real slave traders at the time.

  44. What like the trillions Europe has spent on renewables. Well guess what there are new energy prices in European no matter what they attempt to do. Germany industry is on the edge and will not be the same after this.

  47. All they can do is actually whine. They have a shrinking economic base and no tools.

  48. There are doubts to the standard of Russian nuclear warheads. It is unlikely that Russia has the ability for full nuclear exchange with the US. That does not mean they do not have nuclear weapons just not at the scale to win an exchange.

  49. You will find that when the industry starts to rise again people will move there.

  50. Russia is weird in that it is not technically totalitarian but does have a leadership class that is brutal. And there is corruption from the very top to bottom. I think it is a weird modern phenomena that has sprang out of the global world. China is another very weird place.
