It’s like they wanted Russia to know…
46
⁠ @websitemartian Meta deciding not to host RT is actually Meta exercising their right to free speech.
31
@AnthonyCarroll-ue3uv Meta’s first amendment rights protect their decision to ban RT. It’s exactly free speech that lets a private company choose what information to host. Or do you think the first amendment only applies to you?
23
Germany “do you think they bought it?”
20
@Ramazvousgames it’s their job to plan all hypotheticals. There’s no secret here.
13
@diegoflores9237 yeah, mostly because of all the good weapons and vehicles the USA gave the Russians to fight them, which was generous of them given Russia started the war with Germany.
10
@Bob-20-c9k except it isn’t coming from Canada, the US publishes stats on its origin an it’s like 0.02% from Canada. And it’s the US’s job to guard the US’s borders.

@mechthildschoeberl4839 because he needed to fund them in order to get them to attack so he could get the excuse. He’s literally on camera dozens of times over many years promoting his policy of promoting hamas to keep Palestinians from having a state.
8
@TheMightyAbs China has had military personnel and equipment in Cuba since 2019… China is busy attacking the Philippines in the Philippines. Like actual active attacks against a US ally. Not merely being a ‘presence’.
7
@trumpforever6706 except that won’t happen because you have the most expensive groceries in the world, you’ll just shop at the next cheapest country instead. And the US exports the second most in the world after China, everyone loses a trade war, but the more you export, the more you lose. Also, good luck picking and harvesting that food without all your immigrants working for nearly free. You thought groceries were expensive before, wait until you have to grow them yourself.

The game changed many times, each one halted a Russian advance or made them withdraw supplies further back into Russia. If the game hadn’t changed there would be no more Ukraine. Just still existing against what was supposed to be the 2nd best military in the world is proof.

@wilson705 the ROC technically is the government of mainland China. It’s just practically both are independent countries. What anyone claims is irrelevant generations have known nothing else, 88% of people in Taiwan support the status quo, and nearly half support full declared independence vs the current defacto independence. If it wasn’t for China’s aggressive bullying the declared independence support would be higher. But you can see from this video the threats for violent ‘unification’ are doing what they are designed to do. China lost the opportunity for any kind of peaceful unification after violating the one country two systems agreement they signed to get Hong Kong unified. No one who has lived in such a place when independent wants what to suffer what the people of Hong Kong have. All because of fragile leaders with fragile egos.
5
There’s more being supplied than they have lost aircraft total. No doubt they will not be used extremely aggressively but numbers aren’t really the problem. The problem is having enough clear runways to move them around as they’re most at risk on the ground. The F16 needs a much better runway than just about any other jet.
5
@yellow01umrella why would Putin? Ultimately if you bow to threats you lose, as proving you can be threatened just leads to more threats.
5
Everyone expected the game to be over in days. Something keeps changing it, how else is Ukraine still in existence vs what was supposed to be the 2nd best military in the world?
4
@1247.cccccc like 0.02% is via Canada…. It’s a non issue, much much more comes in the reverse direction. It’s an impossible request for them to do more, they’re already doing better than the US.
4
@ghsense2626 by American free money you mean your pension is invested in Europe, as are most of the US’s biggest companies. That money is spent, if you want cents on the dollar for it, try and sell off that investment in a hurry. The US needs Canadian and Mexican car parts to keep factories operating, it needs Chinese steel, it needs Chinese lithium. It needs Taiwanese computer chips made with Dutch machines. Some of these could be replaced (not the lithium or rare earths) but not for a decade or two. In the meantime lots of pain while the rest of the world trades among itself. The US is the second biggest exporter after China, but most of the value the US exports is things like movies, TV, software etc, that aren’t really needs and easily replaced or cloned. The US is only wealthy because other countries have agreed to let it become so, because a strong US has benefited them too.

A bridge is military infrastructure. Russia shot down an actual passenger jet and has spent 2 years blowing drones and missiles into apartment blocks. Talking about how many missiles a bridge would take to destroy is just talk.
4
@yasminesteinbauer8565 one might question if it’s something they actually wanted Russia to hear, to downplay likelihood and capability.
4
Yep, and even these days if they DO anticipate a ship this size they have to build an artificial island to support the pillars to make sure the ship runs into the ground before the bridge, or if that's not possible they just build a submerged tunnel instead. You can't build a bridge to take this kind of impact.
3
They'll likely get a settlement from the shippers insurance, but that could take years, in the mean time unblocking the funding so it gets rebuilt is going to save more tax dollars than it will cost. The government makes huge amounts in taxes from economic activity, government spending isn't like your spending, some things like bridges can make back more than they cost very quickly. Sad a man that old is sharper than the average commentator.
3
@ikaustralia this isn’t any more ‘involved’ than they have publicly said. You’re delusional. They should be more involved.
3
@santiagopayan2531 Russian government officials discuss on TV attacking NATO countries nightly. It’s not new. Talk is cheap.
3
@omaralmeraya7222 The 'insane' amount of money sent to Ukraine wasn't money, it was nearly expired ordinance that would have cost money to dispose of, that was only sitting in stockpile in case of a Russian attack anyway. And the replacements being made for the countries that sent them are profiting the countries that are building them.
3
The last lesson taught courtesy of Western weapons and supplies and Soviet lives….
3
⁠⁠ @k00LGuY671 the GDP doesn’t make a difference if you have more people. Tariffs are a great way to tank your GDP. The US exported more oil under Biden than ever before. But US oil isn’t suitable for US refineries, which is why the US exports that and imports Canadian oil. A higher GDP means tariffs hurt much much more.
3
@boxingsense3459 except they can export most of those elsewhere easily and then other countries can export to the US, Canada gets their exports without much loss in profit, the US has to pay much more. While the Canadian imports of US goods are largely luxuries they don’t need to buy at all.
3
The AGM-88 HARM is able to be used with the F16 exactly in a mission to destroy radars. I wouldn’t expect one piece of equipment to change everything but it’s another piece of the puzzle. It’s higher risk than other militaries are used to but it is capable once in the air.
3
The first amendment is exactly what allows a private company like Meta to choose what information they host. Without freedom of speech they would be compelled to host it.
3
@patrickgz 2 strategists talking about strategy of Ukraine destroying the military target of a bridge built in Ukraine by an occupying attacker. The same bridge that they’ve attacked before.
3
Yeah, if they’d leaned they wouldn’t be discussing sending weapons to Ukraine, they’d already have sent them.
3
@daveofyorkshire301 They're so far in debt they have already sold decades worth of their resources in advance effectively. In order to implement his plans they need to default on their debt. Defaulting on debt does the opposite of encouraging international investment, it turns you into North Korea.
3
@willmunny9279 typically the aggressor is the one that invades the neighbor not the one protecting them. Also China and India have both said Ukraine must remain Ukrainian so… just because they don’t mind those cheap fuels you can no longer sell to the west, don’t mistake that for support. I will be eyeing off the parts of China Russia is occupying.
3
Because even Russia's version is insane. If they were telling the truth, it's still crazy that they would risk POWs by only giving 15 minutes notice and not waiting for confirmation it had been received. It's crazy they're this bad at lying that even if you believe them they're still the ones responsible.
3
@BrotherLove187 you can’t even write in English. NATO cannot be left.
3
I suppose forgiveness will be easier than Ukrainians will forgive Putin. Crimean bridge is in Ukraine BTW. Up to Ukrainians if they want to remove the military infrastructure of the occupiers.
2
@Изольда-з5м the war started by Germany and Russia agreeing to divide up Eastern Europe?
2
@RicoWorldPeace the US is the second largest exporter after China, the whole world except them has accepted US goods in huge quantities. About to change it seems…. The debt is because of things like Trump’s tax cuts for the ultra wealthy. Not a lack of exports.
2
@davidreidenberg9941 Hamas only still exists because Netanyahu propped them up to keep Palestinians divided. They’re a response to him, without him they wouldn’t exist.
2
@diegoflores9237 Russia is also correctly afraid of a war with NATO. But Russia has proven they will not escalate, no matter what. NATO has just proven they are too slow to escalate.
2
@natasa8266 neither is Iran but Russia is using Iranian drones against Ukraine. Russia downed US UAV’s, actually directly attacking them, and yet the USA and Russia are not at war. Talk, is not war either.
2
@thealternativecontrarian9936 because it’s already strict and he’s lying. 0.02% of drugs sized by US border agents were coming across the Canadian border. And it’s the US’s job to do that, the Canadian government has the responsibility to stop all the drugs and immigrants leaving the US for Canada.
2
What's more they're all meeting that commitment this year, and Poland is beating the US by that measure.
2
Usually the conscientious objectors are anti war though, but these are pro war, as long as it’s not them doing the fighting.
2
You're looking at sped up footage. They stopped cars and trucks entering the bridge >2 minutes before impact, some were still travelling along it in that time, but if you slow the footage to real time it's still clear for a good minute or two.
2
They'll have the port open within weeks. The bridge may take years, and might be rebuilt as a tunnel instead.
2
@butapioka El Salvador had a crime issue, they just centralized the criminal behavior in the new president instead of gangs, and that helped a lot of people at the cost of sending a lot of potentially quite innocent people to prison and basically removing everyone's freedom. In such circumstances people will argue that safety and stability are more valuable than freedom, and people have fought forever on just how far society should be tilted towards freedom vs public safety. There are more people per capita in prison in El Salvador than any other country in the world. Ultimately this playbook has happened again and again throughout history, controlling leader comes to power promising to centralize control and fix everything, and for a time they're quite popular, but then they never give up control and progressively do less and less popular things while refusing to give up their power. Other than the crime crackdown the 'radical changes' promised in El Salvador didn't end up eventuating (he tried, on a relatively small scale and failed). He's been pretty boring and basically kept spending the same, no massive cuts, no massive spending. They've also been on the USD since 2001, so they didn't have to try and make that massive change under his watch.
2
@bob-v5q all the processors used in every iPhone or modern Android phone in the world are made using EUV machines from the Netherlands. While the US has been making software easily stolen and copied, or banned with the stoke of a pen, the rest of the world has been making hardware. Most of those big US companies actually employ people all over the world and will be absolutely crippled by tariffs just trading between their own branches.
2
@devansa125 fantasy. They’ve been having these conversations in public for 2 years there’s no reason two unelected people discussing made up scenarios changes anything.
2
@davidesinigoi6254 if they wanted to avoid Armageddon they’d have sent the missiles a year ago. Every day they delay makes it more likely.
2
It’s very easy for them to recruit when they can point to every that would see them destroyed. This goes for both sides. There’s babies being murdered, some of their relatives will absolutely cause for revenge the same way some Israelis are. Violence begets Violence. It may not be called a holy war by the Israeli extreme right but it is exactly the same, they are just better armed.
2
Just over half the people that actually voted yes. Still insane but not the landslide he claims. He lost every age demographic below 50 despite his claims to the contrary.
2
Giving old aircraft that cost more to maintain than they’re worth? In exchange for reducing the very threat they were designed to counter? *Bargain of the century*.
2
@k00LGuY671 because it’s importing raw materials from Canada and turning them into more expensive things to sell, that’ll stop.
2
Expensive yes, but for a lot of people they’re more convenient as they only ever charge at home and don’t need to waste time going out of the way to refuel. They’re becoming especially popular on large properties here that might be an hour to half a day drive from the nearest gas station.
2
America was great. The only thing he’s making great again is the Great Depression which is what happened last time a US president did exactly this.
2
I’m surprised Russia can afford to finance Ukrainian death after they’ve funded all that Russian death. Bucha showed Ukraine that they’re all dead if Russia wins. Torture and murder of a whole town of civilians. Some things are worse than death.
2
Every time a report goes out Russia spends millions in missiles destroying dirt.
2
There’s various tax treaties that mean that’s generally only the case if you move to a tax haven. Eg, your foreign taxes offset US taxes so you’re not taxed twice.
2
WW2 saw Germany team up with Russia to annex Eastern Europe. Then they betrayed their Soviet allies, who with the lives of 27,000,000 of their citizens and extensive US supplied equipment and rations managed to secure one front. If there’s a lesson there it’s don’t betray your allies, and starting wars eventually leads to defeat no matter who does it, at the cost of a lot of lives.
2
@Zero95011 he was saying he wouldn’t and he still claims he hasn’t. You can tell he’s lying when his lips are moving.
2
Ship lost power, ship is much heavier than the bridge and could not steer. Collapse at that point inevitable.
2
When all the talented people refuse to work for Trump, these kind of people are all that are left.
2
@Wifyish you’ve clearly not read it. Besides every other member of NATO has made more significant contributions so they’re hardly going to ignore article 5. A donation of weapons is not a strike, discussing how they might be used is not controversial, all countries have done so publicly. That they’re deliberately stopping Ukraine from using these weapons against Moscow is what’s keeping Russia from losing.
2
@adhdunsupervised7800 Great Depression, eg what happened last time the US massively raised tariffs….
2
@ikaustralia ‘directly’ lol yeah sure. You obviously didn’t even hear the supposed audio.
2
@JeffEbe-te2xs you must be trying really really hard not to hear that, it’s part of literally every statement they make on the subject.
2
@moali8434 like Russia?
2
There’s no negotiation, Russia’s demand for negotiation starts at surrender first then they’ll maybe listen. So the only way negotiation will even become possible is when Russia knows there is no other choice. That means not just more jets, but more of everything and the belief it will continue indefinitely. All the calls to negotiate just prolong the war.
2
I doubt Trump has even studied the word economics.
2
There’s no differing views, 100% of economists agree tariffs hurt consumers everywhere. There’s a tonne of facts and data you’re wilfully ignoring.
2
@MarkG-SF Tesla builds cars in the EU, no tariffs, they also build cars in China. They only build cars in the US for America. Which didn’t have tariffs until Trump caused them to be there.
2
It seems like exactly the sort of conversation the chancellor would want leaked TBH. And all kind of obvious / already publicly known information.
2
If you're in water that cold you've got 5-10 minutes. They searched for hours. Anyone not found is dead unfortunately. They're still searching, but they're more looking for bodies at this point, and are being more careful to not risk those searching as now they're more likely to be at risk than it's worth.
2
⁠⁠ @ottz2506 the survival rate for dictators in bunkers is not high.
2
⁠ @janneeklund7960 he’s very effective at appearing as such to a home audience while appearing aggressive and foolish to anyone else. The CCP has never been in control of Taiwan, India is more British than Taiwan belongs to the CCP. And dear reader, India is not British.
2
@lukazupie7220 the problem is that continued conflict is just making a new generation of people who want revenge. You can’t get rid of something you’re creating by trying to.
2
@draconomega "Taxes are so bad most poorer people don't pay them!" great argument. Things do not cost double because of taxes, they cost it because of the inflation, because they're printing money because they can't fund the spending out of taxation. More taxes = less money circulating = lower costs. Lower taxes = more money circulating = higher costs, yes the lower taxes may offset the higher costs for some, but if the poorest aren't paying much in taxes they won't benefit from the cut, but will suffer all the rises from the inflation cutting taxes causes. Taxation is deflationary. Government spending is inflationary. There's barely a person in any country who knows how their own country works much less others.
2
The ship was under guidance of local Baltimore pilots. Will be a long investigation into why the power failed, and if there was any warning leading up to it, will take years. Fortunately the radioed mayday seems to have saved everyone except the workers doing maintenance by letting them close the bridge.
1
Terrorism usually causes fear or civilian deaths. Like when Russia shot down MH17 and is protecting the terrorists in Russia. A gas pipeline half paid for by the west that Russia refused to sell gas through anyway is just cleaning the sea floor. Germany though seems to be the only country still investigating that Russian sabotage.
1
Trump made a casino bankrupt. He can do the same for the US. They won’t invest in the US, just move to Vietnam or elsewhere. It takes a decade or more to rebuild these supply chains, meanwhile the US becomes an unattractive place to invest. Lots of the imports from Mexico and Canada were turned into more valuable products in the US then exported elsewhere. Now they can’t be assembled in the US anymore due to no supply for years, and will be much cheaper from other countries, even if the US does manage to get domestic supply. Some of which is impossible eg lithium and rare earths.
1
@joebutta7539 Also if you weren't too senile to actually read it, it said there was a complete lack of any evidence, and then the opinion that he was 'an old man that presents well' was also inserted.
1
@megaotstoy if you don’t start a fight at all you have a 100% success rate. If only you knew that secret.
1
@nathanbanks2354 yes Netanyahu has built more settlements than ever existed before. They were only dismantled when he wasn’t in power.
1
@ikechukwuokafor4092 they were kicked out of Gaza because they couldn’t live alongside Palestinians , funding Hamas in order to get an excuse to evict them completely means he doesn’t have to deal with living alongside, just genocide.
1
Fortunately for the Ukrainians the only modern air defense system in the area is the one protecting them. The F16’s are well equipped to take out modern anti air systems.
1
It was built in 2015. So, 9 years old. Try and be accurate when you're lying about accuracy of others. China isn't going to attack a port, they probably own it already, and use it to sell things to the US.
1
Even Russia only 'claims' they gave a 15 minute warning. That length of warning would be extremely insufficient to prevent something like this, and would rely on a confirmation that it had been received and disseminated before relying on such a warning to be heeded. Using POWs as human shields for military cargo flights is unconscionable, warning or not.
1
@sunny_lis7135 Half the population in Gaza is under 14. No one under 35 there has ever voted. People over 35 are a tiny % of the population.
1
Obviously there won’t be any air defense near ‘just a symbol’ especially after a leaked phone call saying how impossible it is for Ukraine to use donated weapons this way.
1
That's because Haley is still an extremist. Sane compared to Trump, but still extreme. And she's even further right than Trump on many things.
1
Crimea was Tatar and Russians attempted a genocide to steal it, and still failed, then even in 2013 despite flooding Russian settlers into the area only 24% wanted to join Russia so it occupied it. Like Russia is occupying parts of China. While Crimea is occupied it will never be safe to be in.
1
Good news for their jobs, bad news for US jobs. All currencies fell against the USD, which will make US exports harder to sell and worsen the trade deficit.
1
The ship was Singaporean flagged Korean built. There's no bridge in existence that could survive that kind of impact. This one was built in the 1970's. Several bridges collapsed and trains derailed under the last Government, the difference is the last government ignored it and reduced regulation to make future accidents more likely.
1
You can tariff China no problem, or Mexico no problem. China and Mexico, and Canada, big problem. The US has been importing more from Mexico because of the China tariffs. Trump’s last tariffs caused this. There’s no good alternative other than Mexico or China, and US industry relies on non replaceable imports from one or both of those countries.
1
The current situation is just strengthening them. Peace is fatal to Hamas and Netanyahu thus they both seek not to have it. Hamas Monsters killed thousands Netanyahu has killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians. Every death on one side just leads to more deaths on the other. You do not make peace with your friends.
1
@RenzoTx until recently it was win/win. The calculation has changed however.
1
You obviously don’t listen to public statements of you think this is news you must be getting all your news from RT.
1
NATO isn't to defend the US, it's to defend US interests, the US's biggest market for everything it sells is the EU. And by just saying you'll defend countries in NATO it means you never actually have to do it. By pretending that you won't help them, it increases the chance you'll find US men and women dying overseas to fight a war that could have easily been avoided by just being firm that you would honor your commitments.
1
@Yodaploks the only country to ever call its allies for help, was the US after 9/11. They all answered with troops in Afghanistan. Trump then surrendered to the Taliban.
1
⁠ @raketensven3127 mostly into Trump’s pockets.
1
Every time a story like this is released, Russia spends the next two weeks wasting millions in missiles, attacking dirt. Seems to be working.
1
The Canadian exports to the US are from factories in Canada owned by US companies producing vital components the US needs to manufacture goods it sells all over the world. They’re vital to US jobs. Also energy. The US has to pay the increased tariffs or lay off hundreds of thousands of workers. Canada can buy their own whisky. Canada can sell most other things elsewhere, and the US can import most other things from elsewhere but at a higher price .
1
Russia doesn't recognize any of the bodies that could investigate. They're still protecting people found guilty by the ICC of shooting down a passenger jet. The UN isn't an investigative body.
1
Even Russia's claims are pathetic, a 15 minute warning is nothing. Russia would be parading international TV cameras through the debris if it were real. It's clearly not.
1
The US now has the weakest policy. The US has been benefiting from strong policies, no more though. The US got to be the second largest exporter in the world due to negotiating with other countries to drop tariffs, now it’s undoing what made America great.
1
@gvi341984 CAD falling makes exports cheaper = less effect from US tariffs. The USD always rises in unstable times. That makes it hard for US exporters and thus US jobs.
1
@一的龗 Tarrifs hurt everyone. They just cause price rises more on the importing country.
1
@DejiiJones_ it is impossible to ‘win’ a trade war, there are just losers and bigger losers. The only country the US cannot be the bigger loser against is China, because the US exports ore $$$ worth of goods to all other countries than they import. So if tarrifs wars continue, prices rise to the point no countries import or export, and the worlds biggest exporters lose the most, China is the biggest exporter, so the biggest loser, the US is the second biggest loser.
1
Won’t happen. The US’s existing manufacturing was only able to compete on the global scale because it outsourced some parts manufacturing. Now there will be job losses and US exports will be even less competitive. What little will remain will survive because it can source parts from India or Vietnam etc instead. The US is already the world’s second biggest exporter. There’s pretty much only downwards to fall. What killed US manufacturing was a high US dollar, because of all the other exports the US has. The higher the USD, the less point in manufacturing in the US, even with tariffs.
1
They didn’t ‘do’ anything, they’re not even ‘discussing’ doing anything. They’re complaining that if they even did give missiles to Ukraine, and Ukraine used them to attack a bridge that’s in occupied Ukraine that they would need too many. Russia never declared war so that makes them all terrorists. And that’s without including the passenger jet they literally shot down and are still protecting the troops responsible for.
1
@xiphoid2011 There was maintenance workers on the bridge but it wasn't closed. They stopped vehicles from entering the bridge minutes before the collapse (seems shorter in sped up footage circulating) but some vehicles took a while to leave the bridge. They did not get maintenance workers off the bridge in time as they weren't driving in their vehicles. 2 people from the bridge were rescued (one uninjured and one needing hospital) about 6 more are missing presumed dead.
1
@namewithheldforprivacy7107 Ultimately that will cost US lives, the US isn't going to stand by and allow Europe to be invaded, that's where all the customers for US products are. But by inviting others to attack it by pretend withdrawing it increases the chance they will, drawing the US into the conflict whether Trump wants it or not.
1
@monster2slayer That's why the Authorization for use of military force against Iraq Resolution of 2002 was passed by congress in a joint resolution in Oct 2002, before Bush invaded in March 2003.
1
Putting tariffs on one country leads to sourcing of alternatives, eg lots now comes from Mexico that used to come from China due to the China tariffs. Problem is, for some things, you run out of alternatives once you tariff enough countries. Then you actually have to pay. Also, the US is the largest exporter besides China, literally China is the only country the US can engage in a trade war and lose less than the other country. Both countries lose still. Also, with China, the tariffs kept were for strategic reasons, not economic ones. The US was still worse off with them, but it was judged harming China was more important.
1
Your history books must have been re-written lately. Germany was absolutely not sovereign in entirety until 1989.
1
The plus of the F16 is it’s capable of firing the AGM-88 HARM which ought be able to open the skies at least over Crimea. It may be asking a bit much for the Ukrainians to get full air dominance.
1
'Wanted to end wars' but didn't. Indeed he kept them all going while negotiating with the Taliban who had attacked the US in an absolute betrayal.
1
@leonardoorellano6652 yes? There’s lots and lots of photos of destroyed bridges on the river, and even more footage of failed Russian attempts to destroy others.
1
@draconomega The problem is the reason they were money printing is because the GDP hasn't changed in 15 years. So in order to avoid not paying people, they made money out of thin air. But their debts are to other countries in dollars and Yuan etc. So how do they actually get the dollars to become dollarized, when they already owe basically their entire GDP in debt. If the entire country ate nothing, bought nothing, and built nothing but to pay off their debt, they'd have $0 USD each in a year. To get the dollars they will have to sell the country or default on their debts. If they default, who will trade with them? Do they have anything left to sell?
1
@A.S.D442 Somalia has less than half the Debt to GDP ratio of Argentina. Basically, they're poorer than Somalia, and Somalia's economy is tiny compared to Argentina's, so debt forgiveness is a big component of how Somalia has not suffered in the same way, because there are much much smaller amounts to forgive. Argentina owes 100x as much money as Somalia, that means there's a lot more USD in Somalia compared to the size of the economy. Also, the USD isn't the official currency of Somalia, using it unofficially allows the government to manage parts of the economy in different ways, once you give up your own currency you lose that ability. Yes, you can mis-manage that ability as in Argentina, but that mis-management was less of the actual issue than the stagnant GDP which is the relevant metric regardless of which currency you use, Somalia's GDP has doubled in 10 years. Argentina's GDP hasn't gone anywhere in that time.
1
Like when Russian BUK anti air missiles, operated by Russians shot down MH17 passenger jet? And war didn’t happen then, and Russia is still protecting the criminals responsible. And yet you think suppling weapons to a country that is defending itself that can only be used on their own territory will start world war 3? Putin must have thin skin. Can dish it out but can’t take it. Iran is already supplying weapons to the Houthi to use against ships, and yet even then there’s no war with Iran. Russia supplied weapons to the Taliban to fight the US, again, still no war. No one is going to war for supplying weapons, or even training, intelligence etc.
1
@LoriMosinsky America does. Trump doesn’t. The majority of the world wants to see the US succeed, they just don’t see that happening with Trump.
1
The F16 has downed many Russian built fighters in other wars. It will make a nice change for Ukraine from having to use abandoned Russian equipment.
1
Every time this story goes out Russia spends millions of dollars in ordinance attacking dirt.😂
1
I don’t think you know what the word defend means. Russia has attacked neighbour after neighbour. This is not defence, this is offence against countries that have the right to defend against Russian aggression.
1
When Trump says the last thing Trump said was a lie, which time did he mean it? LOL. I mean, you don't need to believe anyone but Trump's own words to know he's a crooked liar willing to sell out the US for personal benefit.
1
The US is the second biggest exporter in the world. This is going to change that in a hurry. lol. The US can only produce so much because of imports of essential parts from Canada and Mexico. More expensive parts = less exports and less US jobs, not more. Canada already buys basically the same as it sells to the US, but the US has US companies in Canada with facilities they own to supply their US factories. The more you export, the more you stand to lose in a trade war. Everyone loses, but some lose more than others, and besides China the US stands to lose the most. No one even wants to buy US products anymore. This didn’t help.

They’re not invincible but they’re very good with the right missiles at taking out enemy radar and then anti air. They are most at risk on the ground so I expect along side training, lots of the time has been spent building safe(r) places to base them / move them between.

10,000x more fentanyl leaves the US for Canada than vice versa according to the US. So that’s not the real reason. More illegal immigrants leaving into Canada too. But Trump needs congress to legally implement tariffs unless he can lie and make up a security reason. There’s basically zero fentanyl coming from Canada so they can’t actually do anything differently. It’s impossible. Also, the US has responsibility for the US border. Canada has stopped 9,000 tonnes of fentanyl coming into Canada from the US, while the US has stopped less than 20 pounds, mostly on US citizens who are crossing with it. The leading cause of death in the US after cancer and heart disease is RFK Jr, followed by Trump’s handling of COVID.

Russia broadcasts plans to do worse on state tv every few hours. Talking isn’t a crime, even when it’s planning nuclear war like Russia. It’s still talk, and talk is cheap. Besides by this measure North Korea and Iran are at war with NATO already, which they clearly aren’t.

By stopping the components US factories need to assemble cars etc? It’s going to lead to hundreds of thousands of US job losses until they can be replaced by imports from a non tariffed country.

When Putin invaded Ukraine he said it was to create a buffer zone. Zelenskyy is a great comedian, unfortunately the humour gets lost in translation. Saying it was to create a buffer zone is away of saying nothing while twisting the knife of irony extra hard. There’s obviously no prospect of marching on Moscow but it’s obviously gone even better than expected for Ukraine so far. Russia being either unable, or unwilling to counter attack while they had the advantage is disastrous for them. Either they care more about a few feet of Ukraine than they do more of Russia than they have taken from Ukraine this year, or they simply cannot spare enough resources to counter attack on home soil, with theoretically enormous numerical superiority.

They do drop anchor and go full reverse. Power outage means it’s unable to be steered. Even an anchor will not stop a ship like this. Investigation will be into why it lost power and if there was any issues with power earlier, why it hit the bridge is bloody obvious to know how ships work.

Germany is the NATO member doing the least. No doubt leaking this showing how if they supplied Ukraine with these weapons they ‘wouldn’t be that useful anyway’.

Um what. Most people I know here have garages. In the UK where that’s more true there are chargers on the kerb. The problem in Australia mostly at the moment is just the up front cost. Eventually they will need more apartments with chargers etc, but that’s not the bottleneck at the moment. Lithium prices spiked hugely during the pandemic and EV prices went way up when they would otherwise have been getting cheaper. Also lots of people now drive much less so paying more up front for a vehicle that costs less to run is less appealing. Other countries where there are more EVs might start running into charger availability problems but with so few EVs in Australia that’s not it yet.

@1raindrops the thing is, every additional country the US puts tariffs cumulatively impacts the US, while for any other country other than China, Mexico and the US they’d barely notice if the US put tariffs on them, as they import dramatically more from the US than they export and barely export anything to the US. So if the US puts tariffs on everyone else they will harm themselves 100% but everyone else only a few %.

@Алексей-ь9я3м easy way to make the west lose then is for Russia to retreat back into Russia instead of Russia causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

The airframe is an old design but they’re still building them with new electronics. They’ve never made a more manoeuvrable aircraft so it’s perfect in an anti drone/anti cruise missile role. And it fits state of the art missiles, which is the main reason to use it, as it’s extremely effective at taking out anti air defense radar from beyond the range of the air defense.

No one ‘wins’ a trade war it’s lose/lose. The country that exports the most loses the most. The world’s second biggest exporter is the US so will lose the second most. The larger your economy the more tariffs can make you bleed. Tariffs can’t hurt North Korea for example. Currency markets are perverse, a rising US dollar means US exports are worse value and US jobs will be lost. The US dollar tends to rise in cases of instability. The more chaos, the higher the USD. If it gets high enough it could tip the US into a depression, as other countries trade between themselves but stop using it as the reserve currency. The US economy has benefited from being a reserve currency in part due to being anti-tariff.

The MSM said Ukraine wouldn’t last a week 2 years ago. They keep overestimating Russia.

@k00LGuY671 the % is misleading, the US is much larger, so exports more $$ to every country than it imports except to China. So Canada will just export to another country that will export to the US, costing them little but the US consumer a lot. The US will quickly discover 100% of exports go to some country that imports ore than it exports.
1
@DavinderKumar-k8d it’s not really, it’s just not as trivial as trade with the US. Shipping is really cheap, it’s how countries like Australia trade, with zero land neighbors and they export nearly a trillion tonnes. The main issue is in Canadian industries that only exist to export things like car parts to the US. No one else needs the car parts. And the US can’t source them from anywhere but China, Mexico and Canada either. Even if they could build them themselves it will take a decade to setup, and require huge steel imports anyway.

Russia, China and the five eyes countries know every conversation everyone has. It’s why there hasn’t been a global nuclear war. Because if you don’t know you just assume the worst.

76%. Minus however many Putin has killed. Russia didn’t care about that number when it invaded and occupied and then at gun point the number became whatever Putin wanted it to be, just like his election Russia. If you think people want to be in Russia more after being occupied and in many cases tortured you must live in Moscow or St Petersburg where reality doesn’t exist.

@MrNeversweat protecting the embassy oh no!

If it was remotely cost comparable in the long term you wouldn’t need tariffs. It’s decades of pain for, if you’re lucky, higher prices still even after you’ve built a domestic capacity. But even that won’t work, because things don’t move from China to the US because the US puts tariff on China, they move to say Vietnam, the next cheapest place. To get it back to the US basically all countries would need tariffs on them. And given the US is the second biggest exporter it would hurt the US the seconds most as other countries retaliated. Still able to trade with each other but no longer demanding US products. Making the US among the least attractive places to manufacture.

You think Ukrainians have that many spare resources? I didn’t think fighting Russia was that easy. Russia is the ones that announced it, if Ukraine was responsible maybe it’s not even true?

@thestevezx7 Tesla doesn’t make vehicles for the EU in the US anymore, it makes them in Germany. It makes them for the rest of the world in China. Their biggest customer outside the US for cars made in the US was Canada, which didn’t tariff them. Canada also makes a lot of parts that other US automakers need to keep producing cars. So this will hurt US car manufacturers a lot, except Tesla not that much…. Hmmm wonder why.

@claudinefiona9698 lol. Russia can’t defeat Ukraine conventionally. The world thought they would do it in days but it turns out Russia is weaker than anyone imagined. The constant nuclear ‘threats’ are the strongest weapon they have, because no country can use them and remain in existence. Putin is threatening suicide, if you believe he’s serious time to move to Antarctica.

@loganmancini8759 NATO doesn’t want to destroy Russia, NATO wants Russia to not destroy them, something Russia is doing a good job of proving it is extremely incapable of doing conventionally, hence the Russian nuclear threats.

They are still making F16’s, they are more manoeuvrable than modern designs, have all new electronics and so are excellent at shooting down drones and cruise missiles, and can fire the latest missiles.

The Russian bridge collapsed due to a truck. And a ship this big (12.3m draught) couldn’t fit under the Kerch bridge which is in very shallow water. Any bridge would collapse if this ship hit it, unless it was a land bridge.

There are many many versions of radar and avionics for the F16, including extremely modern. They aren’t going to be flying over Russia. They’re going to probably be shooting down drones and cruise missiles over Ukraine or using AGM-88 to take out Radar.

Last time the US raised tariffs like this it caused the Great Depression.
1
A trade war is lose/lose. If the US tariffs the whole world and the whole world tariffs back, the US cumulatively has to pay all the tariffs they have against the world, while other countries can freely trade with each other and only have to put tariffs on the one country. Canada has put tariffs on things they don’t need from the US, while the US has put blanket tariffs on everything including things like car parts, and oil, that the US needs to make cars and refine oil etc to on sell to other countries. Tariffs are, I will hurt myself so I can hurt you. Both parties lose, but if you don’t retaliate then there’s little chance of stopping someone insane enough to want self harm. Especially those too rich to feel the harm personally. Basically the more countries put tariffs on the US in response the worse for the US. If Trump just put tariffs of China, not Mexico or vice versa, the US might not lose so badly. But China, Mexico AND Canada, no chance the US doesn’t wind up the biggest loser. Everyone loses, just not as much.

@ObjectiveAnalysis spying is what stops nations from accidentally destroying each other. Frequently it provides assurances they’re not going to launch all their nuclear weapons in a surprise attack, so you don’t have to launch yours. Any bugging of Germany has revealed that despite the usual mumblings of people whose job it is to think of all options, all the time, Germany is still doing less than the rest of Europe in terms of protecting Ukraine from their attackers.
1
@sinjinadams2862 the Canadian agreement was signed by Trump in his last term, and the ‘tariffs’ you are referring to were never in effect, they only would have been a thing if the US exceeded quotas way higher than the exports ever reached. So you’re being lied to, there were no tariffs actually effecting exports to Canada, no agreement was in effect for decades, it was completely torn up and renegotiated under Trump. As Australia showed by not retaliating, tariffs are just a tax paid by the people in the country implementing them that harms both countries.
1
The US is the largest economy in the world. Damn experts. They did also say to tax the wealthy like Musk and Trump properly, but instead both sides refused to do so and so the middle class is struggling. So more ignoring the experts I guess…. Trade deficits aren’t a zero sum game. The US is the second largest exporter after China, if all countries of the world were to balance the trade with the US it would cost tens of millions of US jobs and tens of trillions of dollars. The US is importing very slightly more products from Canada and Mexico so it can turn them (things like car parts) into fully manufactured products like cars, then sell those to third countries for even higher profits. If you balance that by buying less from them, you also get to sell less to other countries. Balancing isn’t a positive, it’s not even the goal. You want to instead tax the people benefiting from the US’s exports. The very wealthy. And use that to reduce the burden on everyone else.

@MudThought That was 3 years after Russia already invaded and had in essence declared war. Putin is the reason NATO is expanding. Don't complain that someone defends themselves when you murder them.

Smoke is indication of full reverse, after the first power outage. Seems to have lost power at least twice. No fire, ship engines just burn the cheapest bunker fuel and at full power they produce a lot of smoke. Unfortunately in full reverse there's basically no steering control.

The US has a much larger GDP so a bigger $$$$$ is a much much larger %. 3% of US GDP is more than either country exports into the US, and the US pays the tariffs on imports to the US. Canada and Mexico only pay tariffs.
1
Explicitly because the Israelis assassinated their own PM and installed Netanyahu to stop it from bringing peace. He then propped up Hamas to subjegate the Gazans under Hamas, feeding them money and selecting a handful of people to be let out of the prison he turned Gaza into. At the same time settlements expanded dramatically in the west bank, giving Hamas the best recruiting tool ever (beyond films like this). To have a successful state you need to be able to actually build something, and have elections, and not a terrorist government propped up by your neighbor for their own political gain. Realistically we need UN peacekeepers to do what they were designed for, not Hamas or the Israelis in charge here.
1
It wasn’t touched on because it’s untrue. The US border leaks 10,000 times more fentanyl into Canada and basically none the other way. Trump cannot put tariffs on anything without congress unless he lies and pretends it’s a security issue. There’s nothing more Canada can do about this, they don’t let fentanyl through already. They could start I guess, but the US border is a US responsibility. Hundreds of thousands of US jobs in manufacturing depend on parts made in Canada and Mexico where there are no alternatives and making in the US is neither cost effective or possible without a decade of building factories. The US imports energy and oil from Canada that its own supplies can’t replace due to the type of oil. This will cost a lot more US lives than it will save, millions will lose work and thousands will suicide as a result.
1
There’s a lot of Russians sleeping in cells in Moscow.
1
The trade balance is pretty even and was actually in the US’s favour when you consider most of the manufacturing that will be impacted by tariffs was actually US owned factories in Canada and Mexico, using the cheaper labour to make parts for US final assembly to allow the US to compete against China in exports to third countries. This will just make the US export a lot less to everyone. The rising USD is going to be fatal for a lot of US jobs as other nations trade between themselves instead of with the US.
1
@brinjoness3386 and 9,000 tonnes was seized entering Canada from the US by the Canadians, while the US only seized 20 pounds. So either it’s the US that needs to do more or the US is the bigger problem here by far.

Most countries dropped against the USD. A high USD is a killer for US jobs because it makes the US exports less competitive. Most currencies are stable against each other, which is a more relevant metric when they stop buying from the US.

When they built the old one that wouldn't have imagined ships that big. These days if in a busy port there's only 2 solutions to avoid this, artificial islands to make the ships run aground well away from the pillars, or, if that's not practical due to water depth etc, a tunnel. You basically wouldn't design this bridge this way anymore. In the 70's a lot of other collapses from impacts hadn't happened yet, and in places where they did some still don't let big ships under the new bridges and have moved ports out onto reclaimed land.
1
The US is the second biggest exporter after China, if the world were to ‘balance’ trade, the US would be the second biggest loser in that balancing. The whole reason the US buys things from Mexico and Canada is to turn them Into even more expensive things to export to third countries. Tariffs are a lose/lose proposition, but the only country the US could put tariffs on and not wind up losing more than the other countries is China. The drugs aren’t coming from Canada, the US statistics prove that. The debt is because of things like Trump’s tax cuts for the ultra wealthy. Tax people like Musk properly and the debt problem will eventually go away, but tariffs won’t help it, even though they are taxes on American consumers, they disproportionately harm the poor and middle class who spend a higher % of their income. And tariffs can be worked around, at a cost, to the point they don’t raise much either.

@OneBotsman oh no comrade it’s not a war it’s a ‘special military operation’ didn’t you hear? But it’s totally against the west, but also if they get involved they’ll be nuked, but they’re already involved. Must be hard keeping all that doublespeak congruent.

@howhigh0521 Despite what Bolton says, all of the NATO countries are beating the 2% voluntary 'target'(not minimum) over the last year .Poland is beating it by 2x and outspending on a % basis the USA. Even Canada, which could do absolutely nothing and still have the US defend them is spending more than the target. The US wanted Europe to not spend so much following WWII because that prevented them from making their own arms industries and kept them dependent on the US arms industry. Now their spending is increasing they're becoming less dependent on US arms exports as with higher spending comes the opportunity to be more self sufficient. Basically, by proving unreliable, the US has lost a lot of customers, both within NATO, and other customers these nascent arms industries can now supply instead of the US supplying them.
1
@Mark_Ocain Australia barely sells anything to the US and imports a tonne. Tariffs on Australian products would do basically nothing while counter tariffs would make a much bigger impact l, though not really impact the US much. Australia is more impacted by the US tariffs on China than any that could be levied directly. Australia sells mostly to China who will lower demand of the US tariff them.

@bingobangini France has 300, the UK around 260. Both with submarine based second strike capability. Game theory says that if someone sends a nuke your way you Must send one their way. Else you will lose but escalation should be proportional, being the first to escalate to nuclear weapons is bad, if someone overestimates how many you are sending that’s the end of you.
1
@thomaswoelfel5625 The US spent decades discouraging NATO from having its internal arms industries because it kept the US industry well funded, and supplied with customers. That also suited both better because it kept the manufacturing out of the front lines of Europe. Now Europe is massively ramping up production, a process that will take years, but will also provide them and many other countries a strong alternative to the US arms industry, which is not good news for the US long term. That dependency was desired and engineered and it's been given up for nothing in return. If the US and Russia went to war, the strongest country in world would probably be New Zealand or Madagascar or something, because there would be nothing else left. Meanwhile if Russia went to war with Europe the US would lose its biggest consumer of all its goods.
1
Not really, the more Trump talks about removing the US from NATO the more they need to prepare for the US to go to war.

Only if you don’t know what directly means. If Russia wants them directly involved then pretending they are is a great way to make it true eventually.

lol ‘brand new jets’. Russia is the only country that can stop this, and they aren’t willing to negotiate anything other than a complete surrender. So it will continue until more is supplied and guaranteed to be supplied. Pretending it can be stopped tomorrow is what’s prolonging the war. The sooner Russia realizes this indefinite war weakens them it will end.

@erikt1713 the US has VAT it’s just called sales tax and varies depending on where you are instead of being one rate for the whole country.
1
@erikt1713 as I understand VAT, if it’s like our GST, while it is at every level a business claims it back on inputs, so effectively it’s only paid once at the point of sale anyway. It achieves the same as sales tax but is much easier to administer since you charge everyone and those exempt claim it back themselves. While in the US it’s a huge mess with you only charging some buyers if they are end users.

I suppose last time resulted in 27,000,000 Soviet deaths, and that was with the USA etc helping the Soviets with massive amounts of lend lease and a whole second front.

Besides this is talking about Ukrainians attack a military target, a bridge, that is in Ukraine.

There’s a few countries that haven’t seemed to learn that lesson, including one that we all thought would win a war in a week because they were supposedly the 2nd strongest military power in the world.

Most exports will just go to third countries that will then export back to the US anyway. Just higher prices for US consumers and no change otherwise. There’s a few things that will be hard, like car parts, no other country needs car parts, they make the themselves or buy whole cars. But the US has no other sources and most Canadian and Mexican factories are owned by US companies who will have to just pay extra to get parts now, or reduce production and US jobs due to not enough parts. Building US factories is a 5-10 year minimum task. I wonder which Us carmaker will benefit from all other American cars being more expensive or hard to buy for Americans…,,

@PhuchaTannapai the US exports way more than it imports, by a huge margin, it’s why it’s so rich, it’s the second largest exporter in the world after China. Imagine what happens when the rest of the world looks for non US sources for that? A tanking US dollar and wages. And a heap of things the US cannot get at home like raw resources, rare earth metals etc that the high tech sector needs to exist.

The last government that led Argentina with his policies ended up conducting a campaign of torture, imprisonment and mass murder before they caused the entire country to collapse, and he's been quoting their talking points as if they're brand new great ideas. Members of his party are already saying they'll have to use the army against the citizens to enforce their rule. 'Shrinking Government' is abolishing any public health functions, stopping any enforcement of environmental violations. We've seen this playbook, his plan is to sell off the country cheap to his mates, while killing and poisoning the population.

@sirrathersplendid4825 has basically nothing to do with China, and even less to do with Canada which according to US statistics is less then a fraction of 1% of total supply into the US. That’s just the excuse to raise taxes on the US. The border into the US is the US’s problem, like any other countries border is for them. If Trump isn’t up to having a strong border and expects other countries to solve it for him, he will be disappointed.

Putin meanwhile hiding the terrorists that shot down MH17, torturing and killing civilians in Ukraine, bombing his rivals, throwing them out windows.

That’s your benchmark of terrorism? You do not understand the word. Or you’re complicit in it.
