@pepelepew1227 Well, since i don't know where your info is coming from. Its hard to tell where you are coming from. Your channel is just as empty as your opinion. Or is your confidence in your sources that low. That they have to remain hidden out of embarrassment. 😁

@pepelepew1227 Total privacy in this context is a sign of weakness. Or fear.

@pepelepew1227 I like too be on the right side of history. And liberal ideals always win out in the end. That's just the plain truth of our human history. At least I have enough confidence in my world view to use my real identity. And not hide behind a wall like a child. Nobody knows if you are anything more than an internet ghost. Or worse, a construct of the CCP.

@pepelepew1227 I may not live to see it. But, you probably will.😁😁

@pepelepew1227 Sweet Jesus Farts !!!Liberalism and communism are not the same. Not even close. I wish you guys would get your terminology right. And who has been spending like crazy over the last "4 " yrs ? But, that's what you do in an emergency. You go into debt to keep yourself afloat. And it's pretty much the same story with every country. So I guess you sent back all that stimulus money, from the GOP controlled Congress, in protest ? 😁😁 But, of course you didn't. You just want to bitch because other people got it too.

@xtc2v That's what Russia thought in 1945. That they would hold those countries forever. But, that just pushed them away from Russia's grasp.
1
@xtc2v Well, the EU is a voluntary organization. They can leave any time they want. Although, it's not working out too well for the British when they split. China and Russia will never achieve parity with the u.s.. Their economies are in worst shape then ours is. But, every country has taken a major hit to their economies. How that's going too work out over the long run is still up for debate.

@xtc2v The United Kingdom's gdp (2000-2020) hasn't been that bad compared to the rest of Europe. If I remember correctly. When Brexit was passed. Half the country was going "what the fuck did we just do". 🙄 Setting up tariffs and border controls really messed up trade. And as far as I know, it's still a mess. But, of course, as much as I try. I can only keep one eye on every thing going on in the world. So enlighten me on your view.
1
@xtc2v Let's see how it works out over the next 20 yrs. The world is changing fast. Too fast to be certain on how it will end up. And your statement about socialism speaks volumes about your world view. Let me guess, anti-shutdowns, anti-mask and anti- vaccine mandates ?

@xtc2v It's late ! It's time for a beer, a bowl and some great music to end the day. I'll pick this up in the morning. And don't think I missed how you ducked my last question.
1
@xtc2v And where is all this 'socialist' money going ? Into the hands of the capitalists with a capital C. Who are more than happy to have all this extra income coming in. Since capitalism can't function without workers who are also consumers. Everyone likes free stuff, especially capitalists. Any time they can shift the burden of running their company to the gov or the consumer. They will. The biggest problem i see is the level of personal debt it takes to keep the system going. Which isn't sustainable in a purely capitalist system. As any failure in the economy. Like a pandemic. Can cause the whole house of cards to come crashing down. Yes, this anti vax movement, which has been building for yrs. Has gone completely into the Twilight Zone of stupid conspiracies. Of course, all these stupid new world order type conspiracies have become way too popular. Even when they fail to be proven as a fact. They become the zombie opinions of the conspiracy world that they just won't let die.

@xtc2v Capitalism has always been a speculative system. Since it's based on the idea that someone will always be willing too pay more than you did. 🙄 But, I have too agree that such speculation has become a serious problem. Since it's also not sustainable. There is always a ceiling price to any product. People are buying on the high ( housing, stocks crypto...ect). Hoping that the party will never end. But, it always does. Which is why it has those boom and bust cycles. And yes, removing their skin in the game has eliminated so much of the risk in business that you can strip a company and make billions before it goes tits up.

That Trump didn't go too war with someone. Was just dumb luck.

@johnpaul9003 I don't see it. In the comments or your channel

If qualified immunity gets any wider it's going to be a blanket. This is America today.. Five cars surround a car. 10 cops their guns drawn as they advance on the vehicle. Everyone heads for cover as the side window goes down. An officer slowly slides up to the window. ' you know your tags expired last month'

I think flying into a mountain during bad weather is simply do to stupidity.

Unless they are going to develop their own nuclear weapons. Which I don't see as a possiblity. I don't see how they could even defend their own countries. Much less the other members, without the U.S. standing behind them. We already have NATO members that are not even sure which side they are on. 🙄
1
The military of Russia, as well as China, is set up for mainly defence not offense. Other than their own bases, they have few areas to stage long range operations out of.
1
The problem for Russia is that war wouldn't solve their fundamental issues. In fact it would only make them substantially worse.
1
@gonzalos4379 Christ ! Thats like believing the stock market isn't rigged. Or trickle down economics works. You would have to be a fool to believe it.
1
@pshrising2016 Well, a lot of it sure seems to be.
1
It's not like the people in power are not doing their very best to rape Haiti financially. Diverting as much as possible into their own pockets.
1
 @nestor.koylyak You cut their supply system. Make it impossible for them to fight effectively. That's how you beat modern armies.
1
@nestor.koylyak So what would Putin attack the Baltics with..t34's. His forces are already stretched to the limit in Ukraine. He can't even focus enough forces to break the Ukrainian defenses. He is fighting for months just to take one town. And taking very heavy losses in the process.
1
@bigroxxor420 👍
1
@eifelitorn That is nothing compared to what we have now. We have killed more people with bombs and guns. We can destroy our entire civilization in 30 minutes or less. MAD is a very good way to put it. An end no one wants.
1
@LenQuerido I guess Russia is afraid Ukraine will invade and capture Moscow ? 🙄
1
@thiloreichelt4199 Maybe so ! Ji knows that having his navy bunched up in the strait would create the potential for heavy losses. Protecting the landing forces and logistic train will be critical. They are slow and their movements are predictable.
1
@ajaykumarsingh702 You are forgetting that it wouldn't be just the U.S. navy. And Chinese forces would be bunched up in the strait as they attempted to land and support ground operations.
1
Afghanistan : we want to have a country. But, our history keeps getting in the way. Without a functional central gov they will never have a unified country. And it doesn't look like that will ever happen.

A2 the the other white milk. Can I interest you in some almond or soy or goats milk Along with the whole, low fat, skim and other almost milks. This is getting ridiculous.
1
Where are the other 6 listed comments ? Anyway, there isn't a quick fix to Russia's economic problems. At least none that would help Putin in this war. How the relationship between Russia and China will work out is up for debate. Since the political conditions are very fluid. If China does divert it's supply of natural resources to feed China. It wouldn't really fix China's screwed up economic structure.
1
There are issues no matter which route we take. But, expecting us to go back to normal is a pipe dream. We may as well use it to the best advantage.
1
It's amazing that Putin didn't see this coming. They had a small budget that couldn't possibly support their lifestyle and supply the weapons they wanted. Putin must be a total idiot to not realize what was going on right under his nose.

@jquest3329 But here she is.
1
@davidrenton And yet she is just one step away from being president. And there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

@StayStrapped1 It's not our fault that a third of the country went to the fascism of MAGA . While another third wasn't paying attention to the obvious danger of the rights savior complex.
