  • Yes, because we are going to cross 11 time zones to setup in western China when the logistics of that area make trade between Russia & China difficult when they are on good terms. Before anything else, the US military is a logistics organization and your fantasy is quite unrealistic. I doubt China fears any such thing, knowing that what you suggest is entirely unrealistic.

  • I am not sure your point? Virtually all of them under-performed the S&P500.

  • You watch too much social media.

    Ukraine relies on US, UK, France, Germany, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Canada, and a bunch of other countries to survive and repel the unjust invader Russia. China doesn't want Russia to lose but also doesn't want them to win. Too much money to be made by Chinese businesses profiting by the unjust invasion. Plus, it'll be terribly convenient for them if the US is distracted when China invades Taiwan.

  • Given the stock price, I'm not concerned. Up a lot this year. Brief dip followed by recovery due to China's news.

  • Which country benefits from this the most? Russia. Which country suffers the most? Ukraine.

    That said, if China wants the US to become a rare earths giant, this is the way. The oil crisis of the 1970's and 1980's created the economic conditions needed for American oil to become a dominating industry.

  • China won't stop until someone gives them a bloody nose.

  • Do we know the proximate cause yet? Accident? Targeted?

  • Reading between the lines, I think there's a corruption problem where someone is stealing wine purchased for the church and being sold at bars. A new brand/label might be an effort to change processes to make this type of corruption more difficult or easier to uncover.

  • I think it is because people who identify as antifa are usually more than just opposed to fascism. They also promote a set of political opinions beyond opposition to fascism. Those political opinions are unattractive to many people who dislike both fascism and antifa.

  • Remind me, what was their solution? Turning the slaves, mines, and colonies over to Wagner Group?

  • Seems like irrigation stopped as people focused their efforts on war and survival.

  • Such unbiased sourcing!

  • Does theintercept.com have any way of knowing if her money was funneled into Hamas?

  • What's it mean when most people do it successfully with less?

  • I sincerely believe that the world is a lot less extreme than what social media is telling us. Exceptions, yes, but those are exceptions. Most of the discussion that takes place anymore is driven by sociologically hacking us, done by interested parties to drive division and distrust. It happens on all sides. That doesn't mean you should drop your support for peaceful protest, aid delivery, etc., but it does mean we should be aware of propaganda and manipulation that confirms our own biases. The effect of the rush to extremes is that we then create extreme situations. The world is getting uglier and uglier, largely driven by this problem.

  • When you work for yourself, your customers become your boss. I exchanged 1 boss for 2000 bosses.

  • Do we have any sources that aren't biased toward making her treatment look bad?
