  1. Well, an enlightened one anyway. It's fair to say that the USA pushed Russia to the point of invading Ukraine. The rest of the west went along as usual. But honestly what choice did they have. It's not fair to say that the USA has given a green light to China. We have provoked them certainly. But they are in such a vulnerable position it's more like tormenting them. I detect a little of what we call populist rhetoric in your post. But it's hard to avoid populist rhetoric. When discussing Donald Trump isn't it? It might interest you to know that Joe Biden has kept in place almost all of Donald
  2. Typically, if you have to explain a joke it isn't funny. But in this instance for the younger folks who may not be familiar with the song. For those who are enjoy!
  3. He's just as pitiful as ever. lol
  4. Poorly paid, poorly regulated and poorly visited by family members.
  5. Kind of like nursing homes over here.
  6. That's a little harsh, isn't it? The Ukrainians have had a hard history and they had no idea how to run a country when the Soviet Union broke apart. They have a long way to go to reach membership standards it's true. But they do seem to want it and assuming they somehow survive this war. I think they will get there.
  7. Death Valley California. Could always be worse. ?
  8. Man, you are a harsh judge. India is large and so is its population. Mainly because they were among the last to industrialize in the post WWII open markets world. (Industrialized nations tend to have fewer if any children.) I imagine they will catch up shortly after most European countries collapse. Canada's demographic is not promising: Whereas India's is just about ideal. Post Global Economy, they would be sitting pretty good with their location. Mountains protecting them from a collapsing China. Immediate access to oil from the "Arab" producers. They could
  9. I have no idea who that guy is. But, whether he's premature in declaring russia the victors or not. He's right when he says Ukraine will run out of fighting age men long before Russia does.
  10. Kind of how I feel. But it's hard to watch without doing something.
  11. I don't know why you guys hate Boris. He may have been a corrupt b*****d. But he has balls and sometimes balls are enough. Honestly, Michigan had serious financial problems, so we elected a businessperson to Governor. Sure, our financial situation improved. But he raised taxes on pensioners for tax breaks to corporations and gave over half a million inner city children lead poisoning. The lawsuit for that will cost us over one billion in the long run. So, are we better off for it? Depends on who you ask, I guess. Is there a system that isn't corrupt? Might be too much to hope fo
  12. Everybody in Europe has great cell and internet service. You think a little war could interrupt that? lol Water, electric, gas are all part of the infrastructure Russia is destroying at the moment.
  13. Thing is, we both live in democracies. We choose our leaders than we complain when they lead. They are not separate from us. They are us. Most of our current issues are the side effect of WWII/ THE COLD WAR. Just like WWII was a side effect of WWI. The upside is we were not killed in WWIII. Now the Global System is ending and we are wondering if Europe is going to explode into war again. I just saw that Germany has shut down Nord Stream for maintenance. Everyone is UPPING their military spending. Finland and Sweden are joining NATO and the USA wants is out of it all. How would y
