It’s not so easy for the US to flood the earth with oil. The US is a relatively high-cost producer. Cheap oil will be disastrous to US producers.

Current restrictions on production, the foolish policy of the current administration, increase US production costs, but to only a slight degree.

The key players with low production costs/or low investment requirements, are the Saudis, still.

It’s funny not really how similar the stuff is to the arms race bankrupting the USSR.

What you don't grasp is we and NATO countries are now the equivalent of the old Soviet Union and the ones on the verge of an economic meltdown because of our massive debt.

And to this day my assets are in the US, and my income derive from US sources.

From US defense industry stock, no doubt!

In addition to being the most intelligent person in the Known Universe, you have a Way Back Machine as did Mr. Peabody, into which you can jump and see my ancestors herding sheep on a European moor.

I don’t know if you’re trying to be funny, but my gosh, you certainly are a goofball.

The good news is that Cornyn's getting primaried in 2026.

I’ll do my part to help make that happen.

Wonderful news!

The commies and Neo-soviets will start fearing America again.
Chamberlainism and Hanoi-Jane principles in America died today. America is becoming Great Again, thank’s to Trump! He is the one who let Johnson support Ukraine the other day. It all was planned by Trump and Johnson the 12th of April at Mar-a-Lago.

Again, as I have said before, Tump did indeed reverse Obama’s anti-weapons-to-Ukraine policies. Trump initiated the whole process of sending large quantities of high-tech US weapons to Ukraine (when he was President).

I happen to support Trump’s foreign policies. Do you... ?

Former President Trump reiterated his support for Mike Johnson as the House speaker continues to face a threat to his gavel from GOP hardliners.

I am highly diversified!
I just do real estate and mutual funds.
No doubt some of their holdings include defense companies, sometimes.

If you have a public or private pension, an IRA or a 401K you are also very likely to be a “merchant of death” to some degree.

Japan spends 25% of their budget on interest.

Despite the debt, we’re still borrowing at 4.5% with no reasonable successor to the dollar even in existence.

The future is spending freezes, tax hikes and inflation.

It is not unusual for despotic tyrants to raid the treasury on their way out the door.

Doomsday models are hardly if ever correct. They are purposely designed to evoke an emotive response often devoid of reality. Latching one’s hopes to a doomsday prophecy is not going to work out.

I do happen to have a high-tech perspective upgrade in my brain. Wasn’t cheap, but its been very useful.

So, where are your ancestors from? Maybe we can ID the actual moor, and maybe the sheep.

Mine BTW were up in the Guipuzcoan hills.

>>>>Yup.
And nothing for our border.
But it’s super important™®© to the Democrats to secure someone else’s borders.<<<<

According to Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-Va.), the world has changed recently and we now share a border with Ukraine.

Connolly: “Some say ‘well, we have to deal with our border first,’ The Ukrainian-Russian border is our border! It’s the border between depraved autocracy and freedom loving people seeking our democratic way of life.”

Back in the day the US border ran along the Fulda gap. Or that at least was what Soviet propaganda said.

Oh, good grief. Is the Superior Filipino bloviating about himself again? He’s more fascinated with himself than a selfie-taking, Tok-Tik pontificating Gen Z chick is with herself as she spews narcissistic vapidity from the inside of her vehicle.

We’ve been through this already.

They are significantly hindering production and distribution despite hitting national highs. US is a relatively high cost producer in part because of this administration.

On Jan 28th, 2021-Biden released his energy EO-resulting in prices going higher on air before anything substantive even took place.

The truth being in the middle-might in and of itself be enough.

There are a lot of differences vs the Soviet Union.
One is that the old Soviets were burdened with enormous military spending. That’s definitely not the current Euro-American problem.

My ancestors came from a garden located somewhere between Ethiopia and the fertile crescent in the Middle East.

"Is the Superior Filipino bloviating about himself again? " I am, of course. People seem very interested. I play to my fans ( -thank you, thank you). Now, if you want to make yourself more - human - and less of a monomaniac, tell us more about you.

That’s a bit far back. The 19th century will do.

It all started in a 5,000 watt radio station in Fresno California, a 65 dollar paycheck and a crazy dream.

Oh wait…that’s not about me; that’s Ted Baxter, news anchor on WJM.

Nevermind.
