America maintains a military presence in Iraq, which is under negotiation with the current government.

Show me how many were imprisoned? More than I can count on one hand?

You are an idiot if you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine happened in a vacuum.

America broke every single rule we had mutually participated in drafting.

Even Chirac and Schroeder took our side in that instance - and America punished France and Germany for not joining Iraq with various ludicrous punishments.

We spoke for years, about how their trampling of our rights and our veto - was gonna lead to bad places.

They undermined the entire post-1945 system with their feeling of impunity and omnipotence.

Now when somebody else is ******** on the UN Charter... suddenly - those same apologists are up in arms.

Yes, I reviewed his stool samples just this Tuesday, and am working on a skin biopsy as we speak. My conclusion is that Vladimir Vladimirovich is in great health!

Seriously - why do you think I would know anything about this? Ahaha.


What did he do?

"To the way they treated terrorists..." - do you listen to yourself?

Imagine 10 bearded US Rangers show up outside your apartment at 1 AM. 6 foot, bearded dudes from West Virginia and Mississippi - breaking your door down with a ram - waking up your kids.

Put you on the floor, splay your legs, put your hands behind your back. An American boot on your neck... as someone ruffles through your daughter's clothes and overturns your son's crib.

All because some anonymous informant at the local market, told somebody that you've been buying propane tanks and electrical switches.

-//-

That's the reality in 99% of incidents that took place.

Stick your terrorists up your ass.

Writing this list, really made me realize how amnesiac people are.

I'm sure CMS was arguing the things he was arguing vis a vis America in good faith. That is - he forgot all those bad things that happened, or he never really cared to begin with - since they happened to poor brown people in a far away place.

This gives me hope that Russia's sins will also be quickly washed away. Sanctions removed, pipelines relaunched, and so on and so forth.

Emotional people say - "the Ukrainians will hate you for a minimum of 2-3 generations" - I don't think this is true.

America:

1) Had the CIA operate "Black Sites" in countries such as Poland and Romania, where prisoners were held outside any legal process, and incommunicado for years. There, the noble Polish security forces applied "enhanced interrogation techniques" against the detainees.

Internal CIA documents admit some detainees were wrongly imprisoned, but held for years regardless.

2) When Polish torture was not brutal enough, the US would use "extraordinary rendition" of suspects to foreign intelligence services - like Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Morocco - whose interrogation methods the U.S. deliberately relied upon. People rarely emerged alive from these ordeals, but when they did - it was often emaciated and with missing fingernails.

3) The US ran what effectively amounted to death camps in the Iraqi and Afghan prison systems (Abu Ghraib most prominent example). Go and read for yourself if you have a strong stomach.

4) Through "kill lists" and "disposition matrices" (which were drafted without any judicial oversight, and the standards of evidence for which were classified) the United States killed tens of thousands of people around the world using drones. Among them, hundreds, if not thousands of innocents. From Yemeni wedding parties, to British journalists.

5) US solders massacred (Haditha Massacre), raped (Mahmudiya Murder-Rape), and looted the people of Iraq (billions missing under Coalition Provisional Authority).

6) Blackwater was created, which became a footprint for Wagner. At the Nissour Square Massacre, Blackwater contractors killed 17 Iraqi civilians in broad daylight. Presidential pardons were granted to each member of that team.

7) Oh and I forgot to mention, that while the United States prosecuted its war on terror - it became best buddies with dictators in places like Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc. Providing those governments with sophisticated surveillance tools, and tools of repression, which were immediately used against political opponents.

Russia is a little fairy princess in comparison to America, which was the first to show that the rules were not written for the "big boys".

Poles are now boasting about America's ability to end Maduro?

Not a good look... to take pride in something you have absolutely nothing to do with. A bit pathetic, really.

Also, not sure if Ukrainians would appreciate the comparison to Venezuela, however well intended....

One used to build aircraft carriers and ICBMs, while the other exported crude oil and bananas.

-//-

A more accurate comparison, would be if America invaded Spain (still a less industrialized country than Ukraine, but I'm nice) - and then China, Russia, and Brazil proceeded to pump it full of weapons.

Three possible scenarios:

1) It will kill us all. In this scenario, global GDP goes to zero. No humans = no economy.

2) It will lead to a growth in labor productivity, such, that levels will reach the average for the 20th century. The economy will expand significantly, but not without pain for the displaced.

3) The end of scarcity. Nobody has to work anymore, and everything is available in abundance.

Frankly, I don't understand why Poland's opinion is something people should care about in this context.

In normal life, the mind is scattered, as you are pulled in a dozen different directions by your ambitions, needs, and anxieties.

Hardship, on the other hand, collapses all this nonsense into a single beam. That is:

1) Survivial

2) Meaning

3) What you truly value

4) Who stands by you

Lending to you, is a good deal more risky than lending to Blackrock.

Blackrock's balance sheet, is a good bit more solid than your family finances...

-//-

Blame the Fed. Blame the Treasury.

Their actions led to this place, where big commercial banks (Chase, Citi, BofA, Wells, etc) hate to lend to average Homo Sapiens, and instead prefer T bonds, institutional lending, and private credit exposure.

If a bank can earn 4-5% interest on a risk free Treasury with ZERO CAPITAL COST, the incentive to lend to households @ 7-8% goes to f*cking zero, once you calculate return on equity net of capital charges.

Bank of America, or any other bulge bracket bank, pretty much doesn't care if you drop dead and die - their business no longer depends on your silly mortgage or auto borrowing.

-//-

Bottom line - you can lend to the US government - at zero risk - and print money out of thin air...

... or you can lend to Joe Six Pack to buy a house, which he will default on in 4 years when AI finally and conclusively kills his job.

Who would you rather lend to? Uncle Sam, or tomorrow's recipient of Universal Basic Income?

Bro - you are one month late with these posts.

I've been telling everyone here that Ukraine attacked Germany's infrastructure... that the investigation, and then the courts concluded this was the case beyond a shred of doubt...

Nobody cares.

We are living through war time. Exploding critical infrastructure is apparently par for the course.


Shhhhhh!

Let CMS buy 10 Italian drones instead of 1,000 Russian ones, and then we can ask him later how well that decision played out.

When the enemy's ego is so inflated, we should only be encouraging it - and not giving them reason to become alert.

Correct nominally - wrong (by an enormous margin) in terms of purchasing power and industrial capacity.

Industrially - we live on the bones of the wildest industrial behemoth in history.

So it is to some extent surprising when people say: "How do they produce more shells than Europe and America combined?", "How are these alcoholics producing 100,000 drones per month?"

Russia is an industrial giant, and an economic dwarf at the same time.

What exactly, informs your view of Slavs total superiority to Asians?

Oftentimes, you will say "Russians are not Slavs - they are Asians"....

This always makes me curious, what exactly do you think makes Slavs so infinitely superior to Asians?

You know... those same Asians that produce Sony, Samsung, and LG products. The same Asians - which have an economy much larger than Europe?

Is it our ability to sit neck-deep in ****, and call it paradise?

Ok... now I'm beginning to really think you are struggling.

Do you understand that these are just numbers?

I tried to be kind, with examples from far afield like Japan and Italy - and hoped that might be enough.

But you seem to have an economic understanding on the level of my Bosnian plumber, Ali.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations can only be understood relatively - do you understand?

For one US dollar - you will get less than 30 Kuwaiti cents. Does this mean that Kuwait is a global economic superpower?

Tomorrow, if Putin decided to do so, he could run a denomination process - where suddenly one Russian penny is equivalent to a US dollar.

Would this be practical? No. Would it make economic life more complicated? Yes.

But according to you, this would lead to the Russian economy becoming 8000 times stronger overnight.

Do you agree now that you are a completely worthless economic moron that does not deserve to be listened to - by anyone?

How can it be worthless, when in your own words 80 roubles will still buy a dollar?

-//-

Maybe you don't understand the meaning of "worthless"?

Maybe you are not very strong in mathematics?

-//-

I remember a time, when it took 2,000 Italian Lira to buy one US dollar.

Does that mean, in your genius brain, that Italy had a an economy 2,000 times smaller than the American one?

Genuine question, since I really can't imagine what goes on inside that cranium of yours.

But our Miloslaw, he knows things others only suspect about...

For example - for 1 US dollar, you can get 42.5 Turkish Lira.

Do you understand - ladies and gentlemen - that this means that Turkey's economy is twice the size of Russia's?

No?

I gave up on writing about these things on PF, because... no one seems to care, or think I am spreading Russian talking points.

But it's as bad as any scandal in Ukraine's 35 year history. Worse than what sunk Poroshenko, and so bad it makes it seem like Yanukovich times were heaven.

Zelensky's friends were stealing funds intended to protect Ukraine's electrical grid. During war time. It doesn't get much worse than that, from a POV of cold political calculus.

This could be the turning point of this war.

They bought some Atlanticist mumble-jumbo, about shared values and Christ... and fell for it like some village rubes...

They forgot what is their home, and where they came from.

They thought they could leave us all behind, and join some bright European future.

Now they are stuck with us forever, and there is no European future - not even on the horizon.
