Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [743]

What is your plan?

Start living within your means. Don't spend more than you earn. Put an irrevocable government ban on all budget deficits. Rebuild your industry. Bring back the gold standard. Go back to good old American thrift and curb the exorbitant consumerism. It's all common sense really.

The most idiotic thing that you can do in the current situation is start a trade war with the entire world--a trade war that will put your most valuable asset, American Dollar, at peril and risk its position as international reserve currency. It's beyond retarded to put huge tariffs on all imports because the tariffs that your caveman of a president imposes will eventually be paid for by your own people.

And don't get me wrong - I don't want to see the downfall of America; I made nice money on American index funds and I don't mind strong American economy because almost the entire world benefits from the system but Trump is making a complete and utter mess of it all. Instead of telling American people that they have been living way beyond their means for decades (this applies to the rich and the middle classes) and now it's time for belt-tightening, hard work and thrift, he imagines that the entire world will pay for American profligacy. Ain't no gonna happen.

you couldn't afford the front door in that caveman's cave, azzhole...

Well, I didn't get half-a-billion bucks from my Dad :)

Over 50 countries seek US trade talks after tariffs

Maybe these 50 countries (including China), as well as those who don't seek trade talks, should sell all the dollars and American bonds that they have, effectively turning dollar into a toilet paper (no more printing dollars and spreading inflation all over the globe for America). Perhaps they should also refuse to make any sort of transactions in dollars and stop all trade with the USA? I wonder who will first feel the consequences more heavily - the world or the USA. :)

Maybe the world should come to the conclusion that it's time to stop the exorbitant American consumption and their raping of the entire planet Earth? If an average Chinese consumed as much as an average American, we would need three additional planet Earths--is it fair?

It's a pity that it came to that but that's what happens when you choose a caveman to be your president.

News / Presidential elections 2025 - the race has commenced!!! [665]

If only Braun

You are right. I should have written 'what would be the point of life then?'. Peace, harmony and tolerance between everyone and everywhere? Really? Can there really be peace and harmony between truth and lie? Between light and darkness? Can there be tolerance between Christ and the devil? Consider this, hippie, before you talk nonsense again.

Also, please take a look at Serbs on this board - they don't change. Look at Poles or Russians - they are the same that they used to be. Look even at Brits. A Serb, a Russian, a Pole or a Brit would tell you the same thing one, two, three or four generations ago. But Germans... nooooo - you have to move between the extremes: you are either nazis or hippies. Could you at least try and be something in between, like everyone else? Or is it too much to ask?

But not according to their believes to which they are entitled to in Poland.

I suspected it, you're a hippie.

Enlightenment

Endarkenment more like. If you can't be serious about your own religion - the matter of eternity, how can you be serious about anything in life - a matter of 80-90 years?

Might as well argue that Christians practice idolatry

You might but it would be wrong. And satanic.

That doesn't give them the right to violently interrupt a Mass at Christmas.

If they were sincere about their religion, they would. Apparently they're simply lukewarm and the Lord shall spit them out of His mouth.

Oh, come on... we have swarms of tourists in summer - a veritable invasion every year. At least have the decency not to come here off-season. :(

Please.

Kraków is nice. Wrocław too. Poznań's lovely.

acts of satanic worship

Hmm... seeing that there is no place for Jesus or Saint Virgin Mary in judaism's heaven, then it is no heaven at all but hell. So, consequently, if a religion considers hell their heaven, it might be considered satanic.

You may agree or disagree with Braun's point of view but it is consistently traditional Catholic, without all this modern kumbaya-my-Lord, let's-all-hold-hands-in-brotherhood hippie nonsense.

what Germany was doing in the East was... satanic

Satanic is a good word to describe it. Right and proper.

That's why it won't be forgotten. It was forgiven, we are Christian after all, but it will not be forgotten.

Ukrainians who put on their grandfather's SS uniforms and go marching.

Don't even get me started on this...

A Slavic Nazi is a thing to behold as a monument to human stupidity. A nationalist, OK... this I can understand (the sins of my youth I haven't made a secret of), but a nazi, parading in a SS uniform? Mind boggles.

choc Niemiec to solidnym papieżem był

Więcej niż solidnym. Był konserwatystą i świetnym teologiem; jego "Jezus z Nazaretu" to genialne dzieło. To był bardzo zły moment dla Kościoła gdy abdykował.

News / Nukes and Poland's Neutrality [105]

If you, Brits, were for peace

And Americans are for peace? Why do you need your bases all over the world then? Now you only want peace with Russia because you want to concentrate on Pacific, namely China--the poor China (if an average Chinese consumed as much as an average American we would need three additional Earths) who dared to get a bit richer. The funniest thing is that when American greed finally causes nuclear war and the inevitable nuclear winter comes, the northern hemisphere will become uninhabitable and all the Novichoks and other wall-building anti-immigrant retards will have to emigrate to South America and Africa (Australia won't be able to take in everyone) themselves. Hahahahaha - imagine people in Africa saying: "all those Americans can f*ck off back to their frozen sh*thole and stop invading our countries". :D

News / Will Chinese soldiers be stationed in Poland and Europe in 10 years? [63]

The russians fixed the brexit vote lol

Erm... did I say they fixed the vote? I said that they manipulated the British, and there is more than ample evidence that Russian entities were spreading disinformation campaigns surrounding Brexit. And it wasn't only Russian state-run media outlets like RT and Sputnik who were widely involved in disseminating pro-Brexit content but also Russian bots and troll farms were active on social media, spreading false or divisive content that aligned with the pro-Brexit campaign's talking points.

It was all described in 2020 UK's Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee report, as well as confirmed independently by EU and US Investigations. You can argue how much this Russian interference swayed the outcome of the referendum, but it's an undeniable fact that the manipulation and disinformation was conducted on a large scale.

They did it in Ukraine

Not only in Ukraine. Their main aim is to divide the EU: they already managed to manipulate the British into leaving the union, they have their Slovak and Hungarian Trojan horses, they invest heavily into AfD, RN and other crypto-nazis all around Europe.

No point in calling him a "tyrant" your stupid press is notorious for.

Press writes whatever they want to write - that's the whole concept of free press.

But you're right, we shouldn't be talking too much about Poland's real plans. Or Polish press should do some maskirovka of their own and report self-contradictory things... no, wait a minute... that's exactly what they're doing all the time. xD

Po polsku / Polska Broń Atomowa [106]

Ale chuj, lepiej ruszyć w choćby błednym kierunku, niż czekać nie wiadomo kurwa na co.

Oczywiście.

Przecież były już nawet prowadzone rozmowy z Iranem (pisałem o tym parę razy w innych wątkach) i kto wie czy ten kierunek nieoficjalnie i po cichu nie będzie kontynuowany w jakimś tam zakresie. Ukraińcy mają know-how, ale sytuacja jest tam teraz niestabilna, mówiąc delikatnie. Na pewno trzeba zacząć robić to o czym pisałem wcześniej, a w międzyczasie próbować działać na scenie międzynarodowej. Niestety jest mało czasu, więc musimy robić dużo rzeczy na raz.

News / Nukes and Poland's Neutrality [105]

It depends on the alternatives.

The situation in which Poland might find herself in the Russkiy Mir would require a set of specific circumstances:

- the US withdrawing completely from Europe (about 25% chance)
- Ukraine losing the war decisively (about 50%)
- Russia managing to gather enough forces to attempt the conquest of Poland (50%)
- Poland failing to get nuclear weapons on time (80%)
- Poland failing to build sufficient conventional forces to make the invasion unprofitable (5%)
- French nuclear umbrella turning out to be a bluff (99%)
- Europe failing to unite sufficiently (50%)
- European NATO/EU countries not coming to Poland's aid (25%)
- even the closest allies (Scandinavia, Germany, Czechia) not joining the war on Poland's side (15%)
- the EU failing to get an extensive trade deal with China (a very important event, in case of likely American-Chinese trade war, and possibly conventional war) (50%)
- the EU failing to come to some sort of agreement with China after the US withdrawal (25%)
- China allowing Russia to go on a rampage in Europe, disrupting their trade and communication lines (10%)

... the joint probability of all these events taking place is about 0,0000006%, so not very likely (to put it mildly).
