A factoid I've always found amazing. Both states superficially seem so similar. Small size. Similar population. Similar mountainous ecosystems. Similar climate. Why near socialist in one state and basically libertarian in the other?
Elon's making all these peace proposals, but the powers that be don't want peace. I do think, and many here may disagree, that Elon's plan was for Ukraine to give up a bunch of territory for a promise from Russia that they won't invade again. Perhaps there is something of real value Russia could trade for that territory? Another piece of territory? Access to resources? Something? If the border is not in the right place with regards to ethnic distribution, then let's put the border in the right place, but let it be mutually beneficial to both Ukrainians and Russians (the people, not the elites).
It might seem counter intuitive, though it may not be strength as much as predictability. Thry knew how to deal with Trump because the knew he would advocate for the country he lead. They don't really know what the Democrats are going to do. They can predict which moves would advance US interests, and then prepare to support or oppose those actions, but the the Dems do something that is totally detrimental to their own country. It's hard for foreign leaders to process that.
Tgey may well have decided to go ahead with the production cuts right before the elections for a couple reasons. One, Middle Easterners respect strong leaders, even if they don't agree with said leaders. Biden is weak and contemptible. Two, with the Democrats in power, their zone of the world is descending into chaos. They may well want the Republicans to win the midterms just to check an unpredictable Democrat administration. They can't understand leaders who seem to hate the nation which they lead. Or it could just be an economic decision. Now's a good time to strengthen their position on the oil market.
She has turned a good bit, but will have to turn right alot more and convince people it is a sincere turn in order for that to happen. It would be interesting if he did just to see the reaction of the Tulsi haters on here. Do they then accept her and say she's part of the Plan, call her "controlled opposition" to trick us into becoming leftists, or do they then decide that the only way this could happen is if Trump is controlled opposition, we're screwed, the nation is destroyed, and the only thing to do is to hide in the woods with their gold, 30 day food supply, and pot?
The CCP are good at what they do, establish and maintain authoritarian power. The Democrats are not. We are fortunate in this aspect. If the Democrats were good at what they are trying to do, we'd be in even worse shape.
Vote for the candidate who leans most in this direction, then tell them what yoy just told me. Get a whole bunch of people to sign it. If you just not vote, then it will continue, and we cannot let it continue. Technology is getting to the point where such people will be able to control you every moment. You will not be able to hide in the woods. They will take your gold, your 30 day food supply, and your Marijuana. They will not leave you alone. So you must work to effect change. Strategically. It starts with a near effortless vote.
There HAS to be trust when it comes to vaccines. We can't know what is actually in the vial administered to each of us. So we must trust the people making it and giving it, and right now that trust is severely damaged.
