  2.  @jellyfishi_  no that's not it, he's on point when he mentions that powerful nations are primarily interested in less powerful nations or the less powerful groups within that same nation for resource extraction, in this case oil, everything else is secondary The issue was he failed to take into account a larger and historical world view of this problem: Such as the imperial Japanese invading south east Asia to secure oil fields when the US began an oil embargo towards them for aggressive actions to neighboring countries Present day Australia annexing a small piece of Tongia's EEZ to secure oil extraction Portugal trying to lobby and let the UN rewrite the definition of continental shelf and international waters triple it's legal size in the Atlantic ocean and expand its EEZ for oil extraction China claiming to be a "Near Artic Nation" and wants a voice in the Artic much to the annoyance of Russia for you guessed it, beginning phases of Artic oil extraction Canada using a sonic cannon to map the sea floor in Nunavut for oil extraction companies much to the annoyance of indigenous tribal groups who depend upon migratory fish and seal stocks as their primary means of food Iraq invading the sovereign nation of Kuwait literally quoted by then dictator Saddam Hussein as for securing oil extraction Iran suffering from a rebel separatist group in their south eastern provence on the border of Iraq wanting that provence to become independent since it had most of the Iranian oil fields and those provencal leaders wanted to keep the wealth from the central Iranian government (That same group would go on to cause the Hostage situation in London in the 1980s with support from Iraq) The United Kingdom not very open to listen to the idea of a second Scotland's independence referendum as Scotland has all of the UK's oil extraction business Donald Trump attempting to order the secretary of the interior to open up all coastal states for offshore oil extraction (except Florida) clearly playing favorites with the state level governments China again giving support and Chinese weapons/anti riot materiael to disgraced Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro during his crackdown to ensure the continuing extraction and sale of Venezuelan oil to China China for the third time on this list for the famous/infamous (depending on your views of the man) Donald Trump "Caught Red-handed" tweet of a Chinese oil tanker offloading oil into a North Korean oil tanker trying to bypass international sanctions

  3. I can tell you right now that US forces stationed in Europe have focused priority no.1 on pointing guns at kaliningrad There are so many plans drafted up, recon flights carried out, intelligence gathering collected, and electronic warfare tactics just to focus that one exclave

  4. The US can't do much, legally to defend Ukraine with NATO forces because it's a non NATO members But it can send it's troops unilaterally

  5. Motorola in 1990: "watch me upload a satellite phone network constellation to provide phone service anywhere in the world Iridium satellite phone constellation brings Motorola towards bankruptcy Motorola: "but whyyyyyy" US Government: "man did you fuck up hahaha, tell you what how about you sell that phone satellite constellation to me for a tenth of the cost?"

  10. I'd rather invest in something that makes YOU a producer of food, because I guarantee you that even if the dollar tanks, and the economy bursts people are going to want food more than anything You can't eat a gold bar, but yes you can possibly exchange it for food, if the other person will agree to accept a trade for shiny piece of metal they can't eat

  11. Not all wealth is in silver and gold, it can also be in influence And with that Putin one of the most wealthiest, because at a whim he can influence his own nation without any real resistance The leadership of the US by contrast has systems of checks and balances to prevent a similar situation playing out from what we see in Russia And Elon has nothing near that level of influence to singlehandedly dictate the direction of a nation no matter how many tweets he sends out

  12.  @ryanc00p3r3  I mean it's exactly that, where the US will try to claim it's aid is to help the Ukrainians, which to be fair it is but not as helpful as Jake has already said the Chinese by contrast will just blatantly say they want to build a massive infrastructure project in a 3rd world nation it doesn't need and force that government to cede ownership of it, typically it's a port or an energy production facility And it's happened many times, Sri Lanka is probably the worst sufferer of this where 90% of its GDP now is being paid off for debt that the Chinese have invested into the nation

  18.  @MasterChief-bz7vq  I'm a troll by refusing to engage in speculation? You want to do the research and look up the event in question be my guest Again all I ever said and will say is: "that in 2007 PMCs were finally held to account by US Civil law as a direct result of this encounter" A fact backed up by: "on October 4, 2007, the U.S. House passed a bill that would make all private contractors working in Iraq and other combat zones subject to the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act"

  25. Xi jinping is not in the same position of wealth because he still lacks the level of national influence Putin has in his country of Russia There is virtually ZERO opposition to Putin, by contrast Xi jinping has many political enemies and they are openly vocal about it, which you will not see in Russia Those who are opposed to Xi jinping such as the Jian Zemin faction of the CCP government, and the Red Prince's

  35. Basically if another nation asks to build infrastructure for you, DON'T LET THEM!!! At most maybe hire on advising foreign experts, if your population of workers is unskilled, but that's it Do what Japan did in the 1880s after the Meiji restoration, they sent students abroad to learn, then had them come back and built the Japanese infrastructure themselves

  38. I tell ya, Food will always be higher in value than shiny rocks and paper when hyperinflation crashes the economy So find ways now to grow your own or finds ways to do long-term food storage techniques, I tell you there's some amazing ones from the 18th century where they stored eggs for 3 months and they still were edible freaking awesome

  42. Law 40: Despise the free lunch What is offered for free is dangerous—it usually involves either a trick or a hidden obligation. What has worth is worth paying for. By paying your own way you stay clear of gratitude, guilt, and deceit. It is also often wise to pay the full price—there are no cutting corners with excellence. Be lavish with your money and keep it circulating, for generosity is a sign and a magnet for power. By giving the appropriate gift, you put the recipient under obligation. Generosity softens people up—to be deceived. By gaining a reputation for liberality, you win people's admiration while distracting them from your power plays. By strategically spreading your wealth, you charm the others, creating pleasure and making valuable allies.

  43. Fuck yes they do, I was offered a position just to run warehousing logistics for these guys back in 2008 the pay was massive The only reason I didn't take it was because I had left the service for medical injury and I didn't want to do anything military related since I already did 15 years, and also I didn't want to move to the east coast

  44. You want to know something after the church of scientology lost their tax exemption status by the IRS in the 1950s they launched a war against the agency and that lasted 40 years.... and they WON! with the IRS granting them Tex exemption status in 1993 Meaning even the all powerful IRS knelt before the church of scientology 😳

  48.  @sam-kx3ty  no bro literally do not flex at all that's how they nabbed Frank Lucas when he got front row seats to a boxing match wearing a mink coat He instantly drew the attention of law enforcement who were there investigating others but because of his persona and even having the athletes participating in that same match shake his hand all you better believe he grabbed their attention which ultimately allowed law enforcement to nab him
