  2.  @Dhdh365  I am just here to complete my indeterminate life sentence. I didn't ask to be born and i am just making the best of the hand i was dealt. Just like everyone else on this rock thats moving thru a hostile universe. So, no i am not enjoying the ride. I'm just lucky to have lived in a more stable time in our planets history. But that just about where it ends. Life is just death postponed when it comes right down to it.

  3.  @Dhdh365  A gift ? Tell that to those straving to death or the homeless. Tell that to the children dying of disease. Tell that to those who have had their water stolen to be put in plastic bottles. Tell that to people suffering in pain because they think pain is an illusion. Or that suffering will bring you to God. WTF !!! A gift for some is a hell for way too many. Trying to say this a gift is denying the reality of the situation.

  4. Ya, the situation on the border is so dire that it can wait until 2025. Since it's Donald Trump who actually runs the state. Texas is Texas, the land of big egoes and small minds.

  5. Texas ! The land of big egoes and small minds. Yes, the situation on the border is so dire that it can wait until 2025.😂 But then they would have one less thing to whine about.

  7. Well, that and he couldn't tell who was a friend or an advasary. Thought he could win a trade war in a globalized world. Thought he could force companies to return to the US. But he did get a wage increase for Mexican auto workers. Covid-19 had a bigger impact on rethinking production locations than anything Trump did. They really need to rethink their on time supply system as well.

  8. Gee, i thought it would be for the weather. I see no evil. For a price. I have 1000 pieces of art. Yaaaa !!! Were are they ? Locked away where people can't see them. 😏

  9.  @buravan1512  Really ! Reality has become propaganda. 🙄 All of Putin's dreams have turned into a nightmare. Everything he feared is coming true in response too his actions. 😂

  10. I guess time will tell if he can prove that yrs of their politics can change for the better. My guess is that not everyone would want an end too the violence. Power corrupts !!

  11. All dictators say they are there too save the country from itself. And will make the country great again. Yet end up destroying it.

  13.  @russellwestbrick927  True ! My first phone lasted until they no longer supported it. Now it might last a year. If you don't use it in the real world. I have been watching some of the pro repair sites. Even stuff they can fix is a no no. Which is becoming a serious issue. Especially in commercial applications.

  14.  @doro9982  Reclaiming the glory of the past has a very strong appeal to the masses. What was ours, should be ours again has a long and violent history. We keep picking at old scars like they never want them it to heal. A convenient tool for any nationalist agenda. You can't change the past. But, it shouldn't be allowed to hold you back either.

  15.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  Incase you fell asleep during history class. Most of Europe is part of NATO. And soon more of Europe will be joining NATO. More countries are asking the u.s. to set up a base in their country as a block to China and Russia. Thanks Russia. Thanks China. We have military co-operation agreements in every part of the world, not just NATO. Russia and China can scream all they want. But, they can't take on half the planet and win.

  16.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  Hey, it's the real world they have to deal with. So they can't suck their thumbs and fill their diapers. But, we will always be where they don't want us to be.
    1
  17.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  Yes, we don't always get our way. Just like the U.S.S.R failed in holding Afghanistan. We may not be saints. But, more and more countries are coming over to our side. Most in response to Chinese and Russian aggressive moves.

  18.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  Actually, our relationship with Vietnam has been getting better over the last 30 yrs The u.s. has become their largest trading partner. They found that leaving the past behind has huge benefits. We have fought really bitter wars with the British, Germans and the Japanese. Now they are some of our best friends. I expect that Vietnam will be also, in time.

  19.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  Yes, Taiwan trades with China. That's just good business. But, Taiwan sure doesn't want to be part of China. And will fight to hold it. Who controls the South China Sea is important to every country in the area, if not the entire world. Every year China waits to invade. The more difficult it will get. The higher the price will be.

  20.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  Sorry, I'll get back to this later today. I am still recovering from a bladder infection. And the wife just got back from the hospital after her own bladder infection. Fun times ! 🙄

  21.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  Thanks ! I still plan on continuing this line later. Just not feeling up too it right now. Have a good day. 😁

  22.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  China has been saying that they will take Taiwan for the last 70 yrs. But, never had the balls to actually try too. Russia and China both have 99 problems. And they were all created in house, over their entire history. Well, there is a reason the U.S. has never had to fight on its home ground in the last 75 yrs. It was just not possible. All those big ocean thingies that make logistics impossible. And of course being surrounded by friendly countries sure helps. Too bad China and Russia wasn't so lucky.😁 The fall of the U S S.R. didn't leave much of its military intact. They are still trying to recover from that mess. The u.s. wouldn't be in it's dominant position without a lot of countries willing to work with us.Something China and Russia was never able to pull off.

  23.  @jimgaston9863  You do know why trump had too take that mental examination. He had a series of strokes. So I wouldn't expect him to make it another 4 either. But you are forgetting the main reason trump needs to leave. All those stupid corrupt assholes he put into positions of power. The ones he picked up at Cons Are Us.
    1
  24.  @jimgaston9863  Ya, yet for some reason it all started on Trump's watch. Hmmm ! You guys are still blaming Obama and Hillary for all our problems 4 yrs after they are gone. Trump can't do anything right. Every mistake he makes is because of his ego and general lack of intelligence. He doesn't even flush his crap. He recycles it as his economic and foreign policies. The only thing that could make a Biden/Harris ticket viable is the threat of another 4 yrs under trump. Maybe you should pull Trump's thumb out of his sweet soft lips and change him over to an adult diaper. While infants size still fits. They can't hold all the crap he dumps on a daily basis.

  25.  outdoor fun  By who ?? Harris a liberal. Ok, I'm a communist now. Apparently !!

  26.  @tonydavila5720  It doesn't matter who started it. The concern was valid. Why did you pick out salons ? As far as the rest i need a link . The rest is like calling the kettle black. Both sides are guilty of this type of crap. But we let them get away with it. They are all capitalists after all. But there is a mile of difference between rabid donald and sleepy joe. Like the difference between a poison frog and a kitten. That test is what they use to test for issues from a stroke or head injury. So...

  27.  @jimgaston9863  You act like the dems have maintained control of the gov forever. And you know that's not true !!

  28.  @jimgaston9863  What is CNN ? I haven't watched much standard media in years.

  29.  @jimgaston9863  140 major cities are involved in the protests. So they are all Dem controlled ? Wow that would be something. If it were true.

  30.  @jimgaston9863  This has been coming for a very long time. And that it took this long is the only thing I didn't expect. The BLM was just the match that let lose anger about the general misuse of gov power. When it happens in another country. You yell, hell yes, fight for your rights. But not in my country. No, that might show some cracks do exsit. That the system has gotten too comfortable in the imaginary strength of their controls.

  31. We are going to have a really smart world. That's still full of really stupid humans.

  32. @Eric Khai Ah, can you expand on that ?

  33. Is Putin really willing to destroy the russian economy to keep fighting this war ? Apparently so ! So Russia is going to become more dependent on China ? But how long can that work. Are Chinese workers going to fill in Russia's manpower gap ? We should have a better idea by the end of this summer. After the next round of fighting with Ukraine being better armed. 🤔

  34. I hear that Putin is sending out people to take over all of Wagners operations. So where will the financing come from ?

  35.  @sharonlavery7656  Why would Putin fund Wagner ?
    1
  36.  @sereniumvitae4353  Yes, Russia's economy is doing so well that they stopped talking about it. Yes, we missed the ball on Ukraine. We were under the impression that russia had a real military. Unfortunately, so did Putin.

  37. At this point it has become more about the question of advancing social progress. Or to go against the tide and slip backwards.

  38.  @anartapoashan5714  And why would that be ?

  39.  @jlawrence6809  You seem too have a very narrow view of history. Step back and look at the big picture for a change.

  40.  @anartapoashan5714  Are you still led by a religious leader. How many slaves have you bought. Lynching is no longer a sport. Nobody has been burned at the stake lately I could go on.

  41. @Rhode Island's Last Surviving Conservative You are still looking too narrow. Stop focusing on just today. Look at history in its full view.

  42. @Rhode Island's Last Surviving Conservative I never said it was a linear progression. But the over all trend is in that direction. If you can't see that. Then your view of history lacks depth. And I hope your name reflects the future.

  43. @Rhode Island's Last Surviving Conservative Well for two things . China is nothing like it was even 50 yrs ago. The same with Russia. Only two things are certain in life. Death and change. Bitter enemies are now valued allies. You don't call that progress. But yes, the tech we have now is quite dangerous. And has been for over 80 yrs. The u.s. alone has lost over 50 nuclear armed weapons of the years. And that's the issue with them. Nobody can use them and survive the results. A suicide pill. Not very practical. I worked on a SAC base. Those beautiful buffs. And in the SR program at Beale. So i know the drill. I even turned down a position in the base command center.. I liked my job as an avionics tech. And i was good at it. Of course you don't get assigned to the SR if you are not good at your job. Anyway spit and polish just isn't me.

  44. @Rhode Island's Last Surviving Conservative I really should have looked at your channel earlier. Fuck me !! It looks like a ghost channel. Jun 2020. Really !! I have a deep distrust of ghost channels. Mine has depth.

  45. @Rhode Island's Last Surviving Conservative In today's world. There are a lot of empty channels. So seeing an empty channel. Especially this new. Should raise some red flags. Since I don't know where you live. I can't really say too much. Other than get some depth. I don't like playing with ghosts.

  46. No, I don't think Putin would resort too going nuclear. And I am not sure the military would actually follow such an order.

  47. Nobody is every ready for the war they have to fight. At least having so many allies is paying off in spades. Something Russia lacks.

  48.  @jonathanglzplz894  I noticed that you didn't say I was wrong. But had to go with a shitty comparison. Our country may be violent but we know who is running the country. The cartels seem to be making government control nearly impossible.

  49.  @jonathanglzplz894  why, are you going to finally say something intelligent ?

  50. Two countries with pure nationalist focused governments are not going to get along for very long.
