    Sure it wasn’t out of altruism. If Ukraine loses, more things will happen (remember, this didn’t start with Ukraine, we had Chechen, we had Georgians, we had Ukrainian Crimea and now Ukraine)

    1. Ultimately we’ll have war in Europe which will force US to be involved (as mentioned Ukraine is not first and not last)
    2. More likely invasion of Taiwan (if US couldn’t help Ukraine, how will they help Taiwan?)
    3. We will get a nuclear proliferation, a bunch of other countries (Japan, South Korea, Poland, Germany and others) will be interested to obtain nukes, as that will be the only guarantee to not get invaded



  • He sent this tweet two hours after the incident. No one knew at the time what were the motivations behind it. All they knew at the time was that CEO of subsidary headquartered in Minnesota was shot (by accident or otherwise) and that was it. We later learned the rest.

    What were the gun related deaths that weren’t tweeted about?

    By all means I don’t feel sorry for this guy, I agree with the sentiment, but I don’t want politicians to be the ones asking to murder someone. I want them to regulate, so killing people this way is not possible.


  • Meanwhile the other party selects billionaires as cabinet members.

    He and Kobluchar responded, because the guy was from their state, so they felt they should say something. The fact that they are attacked solely because they weren’t making death threats is mind blowing. Their job as politicians is to put regulations to thwart these practices, not kill people.

    You can have your own opinion about the CEO, but you don’t want politicians resolve problems by killing people. We saw this in Germany in 30s and 40s.






  • It’s fucking in 2 ways.

    One is to deport, which will cause labor shortages.

    Second are the tariffs, will make imported food (and we import a lot of it from Mexico) more expensive.

    It looks like the deportation will force us to import more and at higher prices due to tariffs.

    And he supposedly won, because price of eggs was high last year due to flu.










  • I agree what you wrote, but I have problem with this paragraph:

    It doesn’t really matter to the US, we produce a ton of oil domestically and have been switching over our refineries to process it. Europe, China and India will be the ones to really feel the squeeze when Russian oil goes offline.

    While it is true that US produces enough oil domestically to have enough for itself the price for oil is global.

    US has option to of course close its exports and not be affected by it, but in the process it will lose its allies who will suffer even more by that (this sounds more like that trump would do, as it would piss off allies which we need and it could be sold internally as protecting Americans)

    The other option would be to keep market open, but then the price hike would affect us but it would be smaller, because it would be shared among everyone.
