This article is contradictory. Inflation isn’t gone. The Fed did not clear the inflation. Tariffs are a tax, not inflation. Do we call taxes inflation? An export economy is de facto not a “consumer” economy. Don’t mistake a change in economic policy as market failure that needs to be addressed with a contradicting central bank policy.

The human world comprises of nation-states.

California needs rich people to tax.

Human rights don’t exist. It is an abstract concept, not a realistic one. “Rights” is a Western concept. Go to the rest of the world, and there is no such thing as rights. It is a cultural truth, not a objective truth.

Saudi society is kinship based. Laws or rights don’t carry much importance. Males escort females and maids are unescorted females.

“It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.” ― Henry Kissinger

Never heard of them.

The temporary cease-fire only benefits Ukraine. As was seen with the Minsk agreement, NATO was using the time to build up Ukraine’s army. Russians learned their lesson and don’t value any temporary or even permanent cease-fire without a political settlement, considering they are winning on the battlefield.

Is it legal to shoot anybody?

Democrats don’t have a message because the majority of the issues they bring up are fringe issues that don’t affect most Americans. Democrat issues, or left wing issues, only matter to them. They tried identity politics, transgender issues, class warfare, and even climate change. Democrats been in power for years and have not ushered in communism. These fringe issues crowds out the common issues, and greater issues. Democrats even pretentiously assume on the voter that warmongering is a good thing. Most Americans either reject these things or don’t care for them. Donald Trump, on the other hand, tapped into the powerful force of nationalism. Democrat’s platform during campaigning is they were not Donald Trump. I don’t think that was enough.

When a foreign president says you need to fire someone or else you won’t get money, doesn’t sound like sovereignty to me. Imagine if the US did that to Mexico, or Canada. That would be more insulting than the 51st state remark. The US was involved in Ukraine, we just don’t know the level of involvement exactly. Ukraine isn’t a democracy, nor is it liberal. Western Ukrainians hate Russians. This is like a replay of Ukrainians siding with the Nazis against the Russians. It was always a corrupt state.

Russia has economic dependence on China. Their focus are completely different. Because where Moscow and the core population is situated, Russian focus is European. China’s is in East Asia and Indo-Pacific. The two don’t invade each others space. This is different with US where it has military bases in Europe taking up defense of the European NATO countries effectively determining policy. An alliance between China and Russia would have Chinese military bases in Russia forwarded toward adversaries.

It is just common sense.

US involvement with Ukraine is what is destroying Ukraine. John Mearsheimer predicted the US will get Ukraine wrecked in 2014 in a viral video that is on YouTube. The Russians don’t care for Ukraine if they are neutral. The problem was a border dispute involving Crimea, and Sevastopol, which the Russians were diplomatic about. The hardliners don’t care as long as they harm Russians. Russians warned Biden of NATO-fication of Ukraine and tried for a peace deal in the middle of the war. The hardliners don’t want peace, they want war. Donald Trump has no interest in wars. He is a peacemonger. To him, the conflict is fair trade, not controlling the globe politically. Donald Trump’s China policy is predicated on fair trade, while Joe Biden’s China policy was based on national security, aka, US hegemony; suppressing rivals on the global stage.

I doubt they understand Mandarin.

He who bans, gets banned.

Zelensky doesn’t seem like a rational person.
