Wish the people in the Peoples Republic of Australia had the stones to stand up for their freedoms. Setting up "Camps" for the unvaccinated, Not allowing people out of their houses. Screwed up when they let the government take their gun rights. At least the US is fighting back against covid Tyranny. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst he was foolish not to appease the Green Movement at all, he was the only modern leader to understand the threat posed by China and boy did he cop some crap for putting some minor tariffs on them? Now Biden is threatening to remove Russia from the SWIFT banking system over Ukraine. The dope should have done that to China by now over Hong Kong. I suppose those Rare Earth Minerals are more important than oil in Biden's utopia? I might be an environmentalist, but not an irrational fanatic. I would much rather pick a fight with China than Russia. China already has near zero dependency on SWIFT and Russia relatively little by now. If they do it, it will be the end of SWIFT, rather than Russia. Trump used up many trump cards US should've spare for later, like control over Android OS and EDA tools. The Chinese are fixing this as we speak. The sudden American aggression towards China appears unwarranted. Yet another manufactured cause for a war, it seems. Can you name an incident of US going to war without some kind of false flag after WWII? I can't. Anyhow, the West is going to have to fight on two fronts now, against Russia and China at once. Also, doubly stupid of Australia to take such an aggressive stance towards their largest trading partner. I presume that US/UK are really after your gold https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2021/06/23/updated-top-10-gold-producing-countries/?sh=3a822c7d2ce2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have record LNG exports right now yet still a record trade deficit? The Pentagon and CIA have not exactly helped. One is afraid of China, the other has always been obsessed with controlling the global oil supply. A very toxic and dangerous combination. Completely counter-productive to the national interest of the USA and thus global democracy. Fear and greed bringing down the entire system. I think Europe will prevail within a decade, and make the G-2 "Chimerica" look like fools. US trade deficit is a natural side effect of the dollar being the world's favorite currency, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triffin_dilemma This is not as bad as a debt one really has to pay, but they are ruining it now. US interest in "global democracy" has always been diddly squat https://truthout.org/articles/us-provides-military-assistance-to-73-percent-of-world-s-dictatorships/ They should really really leave other countries alone. The "democracy and freedom" BS gets progressively little traction of late. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What one giveth, one can take away. And there will be at least 20 fronts during WW3, not 2. They were reacting to what you started first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Russian sources inform that Biden administration issued 35% more drilling licenses than Trump's in his first year. So, the "green transition" is for European gullibles only, Uncle Sam would never let anything get in a way of good business. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
