They don't have to get "reparations" if they voted for Trump, he'll fix their fucking local economy and that's enough.
More proof the State is an enemy of America itself.
Enough of them may have the wealth and influence to sway this s-election.
More industrial sabotage.
Good! More of this needs to happen. A lot more. They use lawfare so can we, sue sue sue sue sue!
Some people know and care.
Others know but rather not focus on it. Too depressing.
Then there are the kooks who say "everything is just fine" and nothing can change their mind.
I personally know people of all three types.
Yah, no shit.
Possibly.
Can you just tell us why that is?
Maybe because the entire economy is being rigged and propped up by government, just like any other socialist oligarchy is?
I mean anons, you got to be really economically illiterate if you think we still have free market capitalism today LOL. That loooo'oooong gone!
Fiat debt bubbles never last forever……
This just proves one thing: we live under communist tyranny today. The next stage is economic and social collapse, so be prepared for it.
You should have been doing preps like that 10 years ago anon, wtf? Yah, get what you need NOW. Have stockups, and any food will need rotation from time to time so date it and keep it in order by date to rotate through and replace it. Also store wholesale bulk like rice, beans, grits, pasta in totes (to keep out rodents and bugs).
Remember the essentials you need to live: food, water, shelter, sanitation supplies, medical supplies, weapons. Think of whatever else you might need and have some stock of it. Costco and Sams Club sell bulk. Maybe Walmart online does too. When SHTF this stuff will be grabbed all up, inventories run dry and will become barter items, hard to find elsewhere.
I agree. But don't get too cozy with Putin, he is only doing what is in the interest of Russia and Russia ONLY, not necessarily for you or anyone else for that matter.
Funny, I have used Brazil IPs before using my VPN service and I cannot access Youtube or several other sites using their IPs. Similar happens with European IPs but blocking different sites. I honestly don't trust too many of those IPs anymore. Typically route to smaller more obscure states.
That is a direct violation of the 1st Amendment even during war time. Americans HAVE A RIGHT to disagree with their government!!!
Well VPNs have such huge client bases that any single IP could be used by 100+ clients at any given time. It's not like they have it all dedicated to one specific user that wouldn't work and would be too painstaking.
FAKE NEWS.
Absolutely anon. God speed to Putin for saving Russia, I'm just not convinced at all have gives a fuck what happens to us.
She loses IF enough Americans make sure the voter fraud is not successful.
I just hope if it comes to that those jackboot thug enforcers get shot at and start getting sniped off, and fear strikes their fucking hearts in terror. I won't be dragged off without a fucking fight for one. Commie bastards.
He likes to troll his opponents too anon.
I loved Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams. RIP. I still have dreams of dumping whiskey all over their hot bodies, throwing them both onto a couch, binge drinking with them and rubbing our alcohol soaked bodies all over one another hot damn diggity do.
Oh no…..
What about if you are against the war in Ukraine and think America should simply stay out of it, that is it not any of our business nor national interests? That's not exactly "supporting Russia" is it? It's an American point of view of our foreign policy after all.
Absolutely! The Constitution was written to protect us from these control freak nutcases.
They are not our enemies either. You neo-cons/libtards want them to be though because you people want to gut our Constitutional rights, including our freedom of speech. That is the true intent of all this war, is to create crisis so the government can then repress their own citizens.
We have resources in our own ground, massive amounts of wealth untapped, and it could create millions of American jobs. Why not use some of our own resources and build back our manufacturing and industrial base? Why risk war with Russia when that is completely unnecessary?
Love him, hate him, whatever, Putin is just doing what is best for his own country. He also loves to troll the US media at times too. Successfully I might add. He is not an ally, but not really an enemy, he only wants to protect Russia. I can't possibly blame him, after all that is what national leaders should do in their own countries first and foremost. That is what Trump did for America too. Not a bad thing. We wouldn't need war if we simply started to utilize our own domestic reserves and natural resources and restore our industrial base, and had mutually beneficial trade.
That won't happen. Ukraine was their 'Cuban Missile Crisis' only the US and Ukraine failed at diplomacy this time around.
OK don't even get me started with Lucile Ball and Vivian Vance!!!
Ukraine and Russia were very close to a peace agreement just two months after Russia invaded. Do you know what happened? Boris Johnson and Biden both convinced Zelenski not to take the offer and continue fighting, and they would back them NO MATTER WHAT. That turned out to be a horrible idea!
….Had Ukraine taken the peace offer then:
#1 Millions of Ukrainians would still be alive today.
#2 Hundreds of NATO personnel & mercs would still be alive today.
#3 Ukraine could have easily built back their defenses but kept the peace doing so.
#4 Russia would have only secured two smaller oblast regions.
#5 US and Europe would have save a lot of money and time with other projects like fixing all the problems in our own countries.
#6 Europe wouldn't be facing a populist revolt as it is today.
No seriously, had Ukraine took that deal and agreed not to join NATO and be neutral, as they were initially going to do before the UK and US told them otherwise, the amount of killing, damage and destruction, not to mention egg on all our faces, would have never had to happen. It certainly would have never happened if we had competent leadership!
There was plenty of time to negotiate a mutual deal between those two countries, sadly that did not happen and now look where we are today, no good. This probably won't end well, but neither did Vietnam or Afghanistan so…. whatever….
Well the MIC is making bank from this disaster that's for sure, there is a whole lot of grift going on. On the other hand, there were "elitist" investors in Ukraine that are absolutely getting screwed over as we speak financially with this gamble. So yah, some elites love this, others are soooooo pissed they took a bad bet.
That is not what actually started the war. What started the Russian invasion is the second public officials started opening their mouths about Ukraine joining NATO and then the bear got poked.
Remember: Russia had made it clear, for many years, Ukraine was off limits to NATO. They were not bluffing.
The only "good" thing that came out of this Ukraine fiasco is we can now learn from previous mistakes made by bad leadership. Diplomacy over war should always be the way to go, only unless someone will not negotiate but peace should be the No. 1 goal, not escalating the war.
Unfortunately our leaders fooled themselves and Ukraine by thinking Russia would be easy to beat, that Putin is just an idiot monkey, that our civilian population would accept a major war with Russia of-course at our expense and livelihoods, and that we had Ukraine's back the whole time. That was far too big a gamble and truth be known a lot of "elitists" that financially invested in Ukraine have been BTFO, they lost A LOT. …The MIC guys though…. the MIC got mad rich lol.
This is just up to personal opinions about geo-politics just like anyone else, not everyone agrees on everything, there are many sides to this topic, it is very controversial to say the least. A lot of people put their bets in hard, on both sides, but only one side will win. So of-course when you are talking about financial interests at stake, possibly people very "high up the latter" in politics and government too, there is going to be lots of reactionary calamity over these issues. If you bet your whole house of cards on something that is damn risky and not very smart, but some people did. Rich people!
Of-course but most of those who are left have either fled the country or hiding from being put into a meat grinder!
I didn't say Ukraine itself, but those who invested in Ukraine did. They loaned a whole LOT of money into Ukraine, future investments. What happens to all that if Ukraine loses? Lots of very rich people lose a whole lot of money, and will be forced to adjust for it. And yes, these folks are PISSED.
Unfortunately, some of these officials are starting to lash out so watch out media folks! That's the point really. Any media not sucking the tit of establishment propaganda may want to switch topics pretty soon if not now. I'm sure these "elitists" are going to look for someone to lash out against, that would likely include independent media personalities!
