The issue with Russia is it isn't just a nuclear power, it has conventional power to back itself up. And it's not spread thin by having hundreds of military bases across the world like the US, nor by not giving out money left and right to foreign countries and immigrants that hate its country. Russia's only drawback is it doesn't have long range power projection capabilities. But given the aforementioned lack of drawbacks, Russia could very easily create power projection capabilities.

What good is a US carrier fleet if it can be torn to shreds by super sonic missiles. You might as well consider our power projection capabilities as useless. That's the truth people haven't realized about these super sonic missiles. They basically make our power projection capabilities no greater than Russia. The only way we keep those projection capabilities is by not invoking a super sonic missile attack. Which means tip toeing our power projection capabilities, which basically makes them pointless.

It's like a thief breaking into a bank....but not the vault because it's too hard to get into....instead, the open parking garage....where there is nothing to steal there. But still, they broke in right? That is essentially the state of our power projection capabilities now. Utterly useless except against goat fuckers. Military intelligence silently knows it and doesn't know what to do about it, because there is nothing that can be done about it.

These missiles move too fast for even laser based defense systems to destroy. They can go from one side of the horizon to the other in a matter of seconds. We'd have to put a laser on an aircraft capable of popping a missile in a split second of exposure, which would require tremendous power and any laser that strong is going to basically be a destructive beam that will also inadvertently hit anything in its path on the ground.

Let's also keep in mind that because these missiles are moving soo fast, they are also surrounded by a bubble of plasma. That's basically a forcefield against any laser based weapon, which means the laser would have to be even stronger to punch through.

No other war has seen a "leader" go around from country to country like a snake oil salesman. That green shirt outfit he wears to try to look like a soldier on the battlefield, while having been in a bunker safe and sound the entire war, just shows how out of touch he is. It makes it look like an obvious manipulation. He'd look more genuine if he had just wore normal clothes.

That's the reason why he's been throwing old men, women, and children into the fight. They're not soldiers defending their country. They're human shields. All of Zelensky's appearances in Ukraine are fake, because if they were real, Russia would have sent a super sonic missile right on his position in those videos of him walking the streets. What we really saw were green screens and mockups, just like we used to build fake towns in WW2. Zelensky hasn't been in Ukraine since before the start of the war. This entire war is being remotely controlled from Washington.

Even if we wanted to manufacture right now, it would take decades alone just to build the infrastructure for it. That's not even counting the education of workers in these fields of work. To put it simply, many of these machines we retired when manufacturing was destroyed, are simply irreplicable, especially since they would be insanely expensive to produce in today's economy, even with how simple they are, because of the machining and materials required, which there's not even enough people with those disciplines anyways, which just makes it cost even more.

And 3D printing isn't going to solve that shit, because these machines need the material strength of solid metal that has been machined out. You're not creating a giant ass heavy hydraulic press machine out of 3D printed parts. Nor any of the other big machines like mining equipment that need not just material strength, but also mass. And we're sure as fuck not powering all of that on green shit.

That's another thing about metals....modern parts largely get their strength from compression by heavy press machines. The density of the metal is literally increased beyond natural levels. You can't do that with 3D printing. Even if you were to take this heavy pressed metal and grind it up into powder for 3D printing, the physical bonds would never be as good as a heavy press can deliver.

America only makes up a small chunk of the world. We're but 300 million customers among several billion. Since Europe has become almost entirely dependent on China, even they'd side with China. Europe makes basically nothing anymore, and definitely doesn't make any of the basics it needs. They don't even make their own energy. BP is a big oil company, but it's also one that largely operates in foreign waters.

Most of the things they say are made in Europe, actually aren't. They've been lying. All that German made shit has been outsourced to China for at least 10 years now. Sure, they keep some factories around in order to feign German made, but most of it is produced in China with "Made in Germany" slapped on it. And most of the rest that is "Made in Germany", is still made in China, but only assembled in Germany, and not even necessarily fully assmbled, it could come 90% assembled from China, they put on a couple of screws or bolts or snap some pieces together, and voila, "Made in Germany".

What has really been going on with all these politicians bought out by China, is they've been playing into China's ultimate plan: To strip mine the US. That's why they've been buying out our politicians to collapse our consumption of resources, to save it for themselves, because America is sitting on an absolute gold mine of all forms of resources, far more than any other country. One must keep in mind that up until a few hundred years ago, America was virtually an untouched landscape. Meanwhile, China and Europe, and even Africa, were inhabited for thousands of years.

That doesn't mean they used up most of their resources thus far, but it does mean that all the shit that's easy to get to, has been long since picked clean. Meanwhile in America, there's still tons of resources that you don't have to dig as deep for.

If we keep heading down the path we are, America's ultimate fate will be to be fought over by India and China as they flood this country with immigration, or invasion. And a WW3 would accelerate that, because with no one to stop them, colonies from both India and China would be quickly setup across the country, growing for decades until they border each other, and then they'll be fighting each other over dominancy over the scraps.

Politicians are too fucking stupid to realize it, or do realize it and don't care, thinking them and their descendants will be just fine with their riches, like favored legacy elites. Except that won't be how it goes down at all. China never honors its agreements. Once it gets what it wants and there's no way to stop them, they will cut loose every single American that aided them in their takeover.

It's called the "heroin hunch" or "heroin lean".

When this person commits murder, the first question I want asked by congress is with the FBI spying on this site and its users, why didn't they arrest this person right now once this person was brought to their attention? This person is openly talking about killing people, while displaying a picture of themselves with a gun. That's not free speech. That's not free expression. That is an active terroristic threat.

That's the kind of shit storm we need. We already know they monitor this site, and even participate in it to try to invoke violence, and here they have proof of a person threatening to commit murder, and they are doing nothing. What are you going to tell congress FBI? Are you going to tell them you didn't see this even though you monitor every single post on this site?!

Now contrast this to Alex Jones lawsuit. The families of this tragedy are the ones who should be getting billions from lawsuits against MSM.

Generally people end up in that position when they're dead before they hit the ground.

Society didn't do this. Democrats did this through bad policy and propaganda that promotes and enables mental illness. The worse thing you can tell someone with mental illness is the voices in their head are real and have something important to say.

But Democrat ideology doesn't just take advantage of mental illness, it causes mental illness, because to believe the shit Democrats want people to believe, requires compartmentalization of conflicting ideas and their consequences. When they separate thought and action from consequences, you end up with people who no longer have a conscience or any grip on reality, while still believing they are doing something good or worthwhile, because the absence of believing you're doing wrong is automatically interpreted as the opposite of wrong.

This is all the core mode of leftist ideology today. It's the same reason why Fauci can genocide millions of Americans with a killer vax and still sleep like a baby at night.

The FBI have been going after MAGA for over a decade now. Yet they have yielded nothing but harming and framing good citizens while the left have been allowed to fester and grow into nothing but a destructive anti American rioting and killing force, all for the monetary and political gain of a few hundred elites. If only the FBI and military complex would actually wake up and realize this and change gears to make it right. Leftism is a cockroach nest that is long overdue for law enforcement to clear out.

Because it initially started as wanting to use that as an excuse to expose the Stormy scandal (which is also a fabricated scandal), and when the Stormy thing fizzled out, they went back to the initial false pretext of a campaign finance violation. Basically they couldn't get anything to stick, so they circle jerked themselves while spinning tires in the mud, hoping some of that mud would sling and stick to Trump, only it never did. Combine that with all the other fake scandals that failed, and it's all just pathetic desperation at this point.

It's not for us, it's not for the American people, it's for their own consumption to feel like they are on the right side, so they can feel like they're on a high horse.

Guess they couldn't learn how to code.

I think the problem with productivity software is it's a bit too intrusive for home use. When people work from home, they have more distractions, and devices tend to be interconnected, which also makes corporate espionage much easier, as they only need to infiltrate your phone and then they have access to your entire network, or can brute force your wifi network from outside of your home.

I also wouldn't want a camera watching me while I work from home, or to read every keystroke or have remote access to spy on anything, including personal email. Of course one could say to simply not access these things while on the clock, but small things like that don't necessarily interfere with productivity, and there's not 100% uptime at normal work either, as people take moments for themselves left and right even in an office throughout the normal course of a work day.

I do think it's a win win, but it's hard to find a middle ground between privacy, freedom, and ensuring productivity. Let's keep in mind, even if a person is even more productive at home, they may do so in less time too. So maybe they get 20% more work done at home than they would in an office, but also do so in 2 hours less time. The problem for companies is they figure why would they be paying for those extra 2 hours if a person can get more productivity in with time to spare. And that's the rub, because then they can only think about how much more productivity they're missing out in if those extra 2 hours aren't also utilized for productivity.

It makes sense, but it's also greed in a way, because they can't accept just more productivity. They only see the extra productivity they're not getting, which all in all might total 50% more productivity instead of just 20%.

Democrats are right to think Americans are idiots that are too stupid to have a say in how the country is run. But the problem is it's their supporters that are the ones too stupid to have a say in how the country is run.

He has the fashion style of every guy from the ghetto when they show up to court.

They are the same, but at the same time not the same. Mustard uses crushed mustard seeds. Horseradish uses the horseradish root itself. They are in the same family, but a dijon mustard alone is nowhere near as spicy as horseradish. And if we want to get real technical, they also have different calorie counts and vitamin content, along with different compounds that give them their flavor (they share some, but they also differ).

For me it's not a big issue personally, I know it seems very small of a gripe, but it is alarming that they would swap out ingredients like that and try to pass it off, especially for something that is a pretty common staple. It might seem like a small thing, but the same can start happening with tons of other food items, and likely already is. You can only fuck the economy so much before cracks start to show. But when they try to hide those cracks by passing something off as something else without telling you, that is a problem to me.

These are literally two different people. The smile line is completely different. The cheeks are completely different. The eyebrows are completely different. The forehead is completely different, even the wrinkles. This can't be explained with different camera focal lengths or drug detox or plastic surgery or anything like that.

Fun fact: When you're at a store checkout and they ask you if you want to donate to literacy, what they're really doing is giving the money to places that offer to teach immigrants how to speak english. You pay school taxes, so it's sure as fuck not going to citizen children for literacy. They try to play it off by implying that's what it goes toward without actually saying what it actually goes toward. When they ask you to donate to literacy, they're essentially asking you to pay for free services for immigrants. It's fucking disgusting.

I wouldn't stay. These commies have all the vax free people on a list, and they'll be sending you as the first to die in a war they started, and then pin medals on the faggots who never even got close to the battlefield. Fuck that. And this will happen even without a direct agenda for it, because the excuse will be that the vax free people are the best to send because they're in better fighting condition. All the vaxies will be held back in support positions at best, at least until there are no more vax free soldiers to use as human shields.

I like gold, but I still think most of it is a lie, just like banks. Sure, gold you can hold in your hands....but paper gold purchases seem just like the banks to me, where they don't actually have the value to back it up. And even gold in your hands has issues, because they fuck you when you go to buy it, and fuck you again when you go to sell it, sure they'll sell it for market value, but they won't buy it at market value, and that's the rub. They'll only pay you a couple hundreds dollars less per ounce than market value, a hundred on a good day, eating into any profits you hoped to make.

So for example, if you had 1 ounce of gold, you'd make maybe $400 if you held onto it for the last 5 years. Yeah that adds up with every ounce, but unless you're buying a LOT of gold, it's really not worth the trouble, and more risk than it's worth if your home gets robbed.

Personally I think gold could plummet. It has had it too good for too long, and the less money people have and the more inflation there is, the less people can afford it and want more liquidity in their money. I mean sure there's still areas with profits to be made, but if we take a plunge, no one is really going to be thinking about gold, they're going to be thinking about how to put scraps on the table.

In a collapse, gold is only really good if you're planning on getting out of the country and need currency other than worthless bills. But if you're not leaving the country, gold doesn't make much sense, unless you're trading it for large numbers of bills and hoping for currency to eventually bounce back and you have suitcases of cash ready for when it does (but governments often counter that strategy by creating a new currency and devaluing the last currency compared to the new, like with confederate money).

But even then with gold, it really needs to be able to be traded in small amounts at that point in a collapse, because people need to be able to physically buy regular things with it, which means bars broken down into tiny uniform chunks that have the value of ~$100 would be more desirable for general trade. No ones going to be buying groceries with $2,000 bars when they could trade that bar for another countries currency, fly out and buy groceries and come back and still have payed less than if they tried to trade that gold locally in a collapsed economy.

And good luck getting out of the country with any gold at that point, I would expect the communist regime of democrats to be confiscating all gold at all borders. Let's keep in mind the government did the same thing in the early 1900's. So your only chance is leaving the country quietly and "illegally", and there will be a gauntlet of vultures waiting to pick at you every step of the way to get their hands on your gold. Mexico is out of the question, they'll be guarding their border for every American trying to squeeze through, just to rob them of their gold. Your best bet would be secret passage on a boat, which thousands of other people would also be trying to do, making it not so secret, and the ships captain would probably just take your gold and dump your body in the ocean anyways.

Basically, only people with their own sail boats would be able to reliably escape, and even they would have to watch out for patrol boats wherever they went, and somehow dock and sneak into a destination country, which also means pretty much abandoning your boat unless you have friends to store it for you.

Sanctions are only supposed to be used in dire emergencies. It's only a matter of time before China and Russia and other countries band together and sanction the US into oblivion, and we're going to be fucked when they do, while all the countries we've sanctioned will be laughing and rejoicing in sweet revenge.

Granted it would help us go toward bringing back our own manufacturing, but it would still take decades to do that, along with them interrupting that by easing sanctions here and there or allowing some stuff to flow through, keeping up dependence, which would massively hamper our efforts to become self sufficient again. They could dangle that carrot in front of us for decades and keep our manufacturing growth in limbo, harming America in the process, and Democrats would fall for it because they're fucking morons and bought and paid for.

They're just going to use this to say the jury was tainted. They're sending them home, likely unsequestered, where the jury will get to go online and read all about what people think of it, which they will use to imply the jury was intimated and that's why they didn't come back with the charges they wanted. It's all a farce.

It was never Trump's vax. He didn't dream it up. It was a setup. They came to him saying they could make it all better with a vax, when in reality they had the vax ready to go before the virus even hit.

Democrats created the scenario to entrap him. He would lose in every scenario. If he was against the vax, he would be blamed for every death. When the vax kills people, he would be blamed for every death.

Except democrats have tried hard to avoid the anti vax approach to use to blame Trump, because the unprecedented level of power the vax gives them, is something they don't want to damage. If they go out against the vax, then the next time they want to implement medical tyranny to lock people down, that'll be a conflict, since they will have programmed their NPC's to hate the vax.

We already saw how Kamala was like "I ain't taking no rushed shot". Then she quickly changed her tune, probably because some people in the party contacted her and corrected her behavior in order to align with the narrative they want to spin.

The difference with Trump is he offered the vax, but he didn't believe in forcing it on people, nor lockdowns. That's a HUGE distinction. He simply wanted to make something available for people. Government agencies actually controlled the whole plandemic, not Trump. That's also why they buried alternative and safer and more effective treatments. They needed deaths to blame on Trump and needed to keep the plandemic going.

Trump is not at fault here. Had he ignored the vax, we would still have the vax being pushed because they already had it ready to go before china virus even got unleashed, and would have been still pushed by both the CDC and local governors and such. They would have simply said "The president is doing nothing, we are!".

Desantis just doesn't get it. If you let it happen to Trump, they're going to do it to you. We already know that if Trump lost 2016 to Ted Cruz, they would have framed Cruz instead with the Russia collusion hoax. They were setting up EVERY nominee with that scheme.

This isn't some dirt throwing political theater. Democrats are playing for keeps and Conservatives better wake up and realize this, including the ones happy to be controlled opposition, because eventually Democrats will phase out controlled opposition too. Just look at the Chinese government. There is no controlled opposition, there is only the uniparty...or else. People may have different personal perspectives and wishes in the Chinese government, but they all know they must vote whatever they are told.
