  30.  @elysiumfields  This is a great example of what I’m talking about. College kids in the US have been told a pack of lies by teachers and professors who have never lived in any Nordic country. My oldest son and daughter-in-law are going to school in one of those Nordic countries right now, where my mom is from. Education isn’t free. It’s very costly to everyone, namely the taxpayers. It’s also very exclusive, where gaining admission into university is extremely difficult. They section students off from each other at a certain time in school, so most go to skilled vocational training, and the more intellectually-minded kids with disciplined studying habits get to apply for university through entrance exams. Many take 2-3 times with the exams before they are admitted. Many do not complete their studies, then are in debt for the cost of schooling and housing. I’ve seen that happen to friends of mine as well. When all is said and done, those countries rely on the US for their most advanced defense systems, medical diagnostic equipment, finances, trade, computer technology, software, and critical aspects of the economy all stemming from innovation mostly in the US or mainland Europe. Even with more GDP than comparable population US States, the US States with lower GDP have more Emergency Medical Systems, healthcare, transportation, finance, housing, higher education, PPP, etc. But if we can leverage the inherent power of tariffs to fund limited government in the US, that would be far superior to what we’re doing now.

  38. Clinton (not his birth name) was raised in the biggest Buick Car dealership family in Arkansas, where his adoptive grandfather taught him memory training, and the senior salesmen taught him how to profile and communicate with "suckers"(customers). He became very adept at this when taking advantage of girls in high school, pulling up in his new convertible coup. He admired JFK very much, and saw himself becoming President from a fairly young age. He is gifted and well-trained in remembering facts and figures, but often fudges numbers to fit his narrative, with confidence and delivery that are rarely challenged. He became accustomed to having any girl he wanted, which quickly lost its excitement, so he moved into more forceful exploitation of college girls and women until rape was normalized. A fellow law student at Yale saw his potential and how people drew to him, but also how he ran through girls voraciously. She would intimidate them after he had humped and dumped them, to keep his wake clear. He proposed to her due to her usefulness in that regard, but she declined, seeing herself cutting out her own path in politics. He passed the bar and returned to Arkansas to run for Congress. She took the DC bar and failed. She then called him up and asked if the offer was still open, which it was. Her father strongly opposed the marriage, telling her that a Democrat was only one step away from a communist. Her brothers came down from Chicago to babysit Bill before the wedding to mitigate the obvious scandal. His name is William Jefferson Blythe III. Hers is of course Hillary Rodham.

  44.  @u2beuser714  Millenials with no experience in these matters can make a lot of mistakes and bad assumptions, since they rely on internet searches and OSINT, with zero real-world. We were involved in Nunn-Lugar base exchange program, but the main effort in Nunn-Lugar was to remove nuclear weapons from the former Soviet satellite states of Georgia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Belorussia to get them under centralized control. What we found out was that Russia had been running a shell game throughout the Cold War, bolstering their capabilities through a series of feints and movements, when they were in-fact very limited in their ability or willingness to actually trust warheads at all the advertised operational units across the "triad”. They relied more on controlling the US intelligence community within using plants, moles, and political stooges placed throughout government, CIA, and DoD to orchestrate an image of the 10ft tall Russian bear, with its thousands of warheads deployed all over. This is yet another example of the US system being totally ignorant about Russian/Eurasian culture and how no self-respecting Russian leader would trust subordinate leaders with nukes all over the place. So they ran a shell game from the warhead production sites purposely timed with US satellite overflights so we would see the trucks carrying the warheads out to Murmansk, to the Tu-95 bases, and mobile ICMB munitions hubs. But the trucks just took the few warheads they had back to the manufacturing site because they had problems cranking out reliable initiation systems. They manipulated the US with Nunn-Lugar to get billions in funding in exchange for a continued shell game, and former KGB oligarchs pilfered all the money that was meant to prop up Russia from falling. They also used it to disarm Ukraine and Georgia further in preparation for taking those states in the future (we’ve already lived through partially now). If someone tells you Russian maintenance is good, they’ve never lived in Russia, have never studied Russian military maintenance “standards”, and haven’t had insight into the Russian nuclear forces culture. The deterrence is based on posturing, with far less warheads and capable delivery systems than advertised. It’s still enough for a deterrent, but Russia can’t afford to find out if their systems work, because then every territorial dispute they have with the rest of their neighbors will kick off, especially with China.
