The UniParty prevails once more.
Good.
Until rather recently a “uniparty”, in a given case, was a good thing.
It implied a national consensus.
It’s rare that something like that can happen again. This may be the last time.
These days Americans tend to hate each other with a vicious malice. There are good reasons for that, but it’s still a disastrous situation. It’s going to get to Hutu-Tutsi levels at some point.
Why are they still sending money to Ukraine?
That was supposed to be annexed by mighty Russia in 4-6 weeks going on 2 1/2 yrs ago.
“There’s an infinite amount of cash at the Federal Reserve”
Neel Kashkari, Minneapolis Federal Reserve
Seriously some writer said that Russia chose 2022 to initiate the war for, among many reasons, the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve (that is, the United States) were indebted at WWII levels and could not sustain a large war.
He was probably right.
Should Biden be reelected you can bet China will make its move, the United States will respond by going further into debt, and then will come the end of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
When that happens it won’t be like post war Britain where everyone was poor but civilized, it will be hell on earth when the gimmedats don’t get what they want.
How many Ukrainian flags were they waving?
You can always count on the Uniparty to defend “democracy” everywhere but home.
Never mind that we’re $34 trillion in debt.
Because $200 Trillion in unpayable debt was not enough.
This is what happens in a system where grifters and pay for legislation whores are who’s financed by monied interests, who get them on the ballot and pay for advertising.
It’s over.
These funds are good for probably another 150,000 lives wasted.
79 to 18?
Sounds like a Michigan v. Southwest Michigan School for the Gender Neutral football score.
Somebody’s gonna get rich.
Russian rates are 16% and the ruble is down 40% and still sinking.
The US is $200,000,000,000,000 debt/unfunded obligations and is borrowing at 4.5%.
Who can’t afford what?
The proximate cause of the invasion in 2014 and 2022 was the doubling of the price of oil in 2013 and 2021.
Yes, it is. The sooner people realize this the better. Then the question becomes, what's the feasible path forward?
And, it's a not a good thing for bought-and-paid, corrupt politicians to be pandering to the defense industry and wealthy business interest by continuing a war that is needlessly killing people and resulting in the destruction of a country, let alone doing so while ignoring the fact are borders are wide open.
If you think defeating the eviiil Russians is such an important issue, get your sorry, hypocritical ass over to Ukraine and fight them and die doing so. The world would be a better place if you had the courage of our convictions and did so.
Ukrainian lives certainly don’t matter to our political elite.
It’s funny not really how similar the stuff is to the arms race bankrupting the USSR.
That was the USSR-something with some actual financial might.
It wasn’t a glorified gas station run by a KGB stooge playing 8D chess yet still at war 2 1/2 yrs later.
Isn’t it great when someone who isn’t a US Citizen, and who lives in a foreign country (Spain), comes on a Conservative American site and gives us advice from a globalist viewpoint? </s>
Annexation was not the goal. The Russian speaking oblasts of Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk were to be incorporated as Novorossia.
Ukrainian military was to be neutralized so as to not put NATO nuclear armed missiles at the doorstep of Moscow. (Read Khrushchev and Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis)
These objectives are being met. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men killed. Women fled to the rest of Europe.
Elites hate European people, Ukrainian, Russian, British, Irish or otherwise. Why else but the importation of Sub-Saharan Muslims into Europe, the same people who throw Sub-Saharan Christians into the ocean? Do they hate Christians? The answer is obviously yes. Do they hate Europeans? Yes.
This war is achieving the effect of depopulating Ukraine of native Europeans and I hate it. I don’t hate Russians. I don’t hate Ukrainians. I hate our western “elites” who in turn hate us.
Russia had hight interest rates before the war began.
Of course it is not the goal.
Whatever is accomplished the day President Trump floods the world with oil will be exactly what Putin was after all along-like magic.
The US is de facto defender of the free world via treaty or not. Leaving the NATO encroachment excuse withering in the wind.
I don’t like blowing all of this money.
I don’t like that climate hoax US energy policy bought and paid for Russian and Iran warring.
It’s our energy policy vs our tax dollars times two incl the single most contrived war in the history of earth.
