This has been going on for decades. Example - look at our fossil fuel energy plants. They have been ratcheting down on their emissions every 10years or so at mandate of epa. The past couple of updates have only been to eke out single digit (percentages) improvements at the cost of billions to the industry (and passed on to our electric bills, btw). Yet, China goes and signs on to a climate change bill with EU and others but exempts themselves from any compliance for the next 30 years. And don't look in the general direction of India...
I don't care about my home food stores - hope I don't ever have to use them in need, but just to cycle out my home food inventory. I want to know what is going to be the 'scare event'? Looks like Russia will be out of Ukr in another week, according to Gen MacGregor the Tucker interview on Tucker, but I think we still have the Taiwan issue to go through. Just from what I'm reading on here, Xi might be a white hat, but he's got a majorly powerful DS behind him. When he pulls the trigger on Taiwan, hope he's got the same level of restraint as Putin is showing.
We need Senator Kennedy to ask questions about this adverse effect (and a few others) on the record, live on CSPAN, in a committee hearing. Need to start getting these things in federal records. MSM cannot edit those.
I feel like I hit a nerve asking you those questions. Nothing meant other than looking for clarification on some of those items. Putin's address - already read before I made the post - beautifully written but it seems you're suggesting I take him at his word on everything. Sorry, I don't do that with any politician, Putin included. Also, to take Putin as a benevolent human being might be a mistake. As a prior KGB agent, Putin most assuredly has plenty of skeletons in his past. "He (Putin) just wants his country to be left alone, like every country should want." - I disagree - Putin is on an advance for more power, like nearly every other successful politician. Assuming he is of the same position as the (majority of) posters on this board might be a mistake. He would love to see the US dropped in status a few notches in the world standing. Everyone (Putin, WH, DS) has a different position in this Ukraine event.
ELI5. What I currently understand is this: We're ok with Putin doing this 'operation' in Ukraine because he is tearing down several DS operations (Biolabs, for one). We are 'okay?" with Putin putting in a puppet govt partial to Russia. (Why?). How does this preserve any info/proof we need to snag all of our bad guys, e.g. Pelosi son, The Smartest Guy I know, JB, and the other list of usual suspects. Are we going to regret that Putin would have control of Ukraine? Is Putin going to use this as a stepping stone to envelop Ukraine into a defacto USSR reprise? I can understand that Putin wants a buffer zone (Ukraine) between NATO weapons and Russia current border (much like China never wants NKo to go away) but are we going to just watch this become another land grab like Crimea (and the place alongside Crimea) by Putin as happened under BHO? And, I thought Zelensky was WH? (is he compromised with 'kompromat' somehow?) Why is he locking in all 18 -55 yo men from leaving the country in order to have them defend country? Isn't that suicide to have a civilian with a longgun against an advanced military?) I thought so when he met with Trump, and again when he spouted off to Biden early on. I just can't keep up with all of the theories on here. Thanks for a simple explanation (and please give hints when some of the parts are 'assumptions' versus 'most likely to happen' vs 'wishes'. )
So, if Russia could go in and access documents/proof of Biden/Pelosi/Kerry/RINOs, corruption and release it, then Zelenski would be out of the loop of blame. Russia doesn't care if we (US) like them or not right now. Zelenski is probably caught in some kind of honeypot deal and can't move either way. I think he just wants to save his job/neck. Better up the protection on Z these next few weeks.
Also, look at central Am countries - Castreau could nationalize private Chinese (and other foreign)properties - 'non citizens can't hold property' - and kick bad guys out in a second. China said - 'hol' on a second, amigo'
They're fighting the wrong fight. Put them in a room and force them to watch all 15 days of the Canadian trucker convoy until they understand 'freedom', not 'natural immunity'.
