The situation in Ukraine...

[Xzi]

And you bootlick for the left.

Oh yeah, so many leftist corporations and billionaires out there to give all my money to.

You're one of the prime examples of an NPC shill and yet you call me one.

I calls 'em as I sees 'em. You admitted of your own volition that you think there are billionaires and corporations out there that actually care about your well-being. That's like believing a dancer at the strip club really does love you.

 

[idontgetit]

Fuck off Putin apologist. Did NATO bomb Russia or did Russia bomb Ukraine? Rhetorical question of course, we all know the answer to that.

I think you're just upset the Biden family doesnt have control of those power plants anymore.

I'm literally upset that Putin is committing war crimes. The Biden family has never been and will never be poor, no reason to concern myself over their personal finances. It's not like he's cheating his way around the emoluments clause like the former president did, either.

You can't just set up missiles at the border of a nation and point them at people.

I'd say you can't just pull events that didn't happen out of your lying ass, either, but he we are.

Nobody threatened Russia before Putin invaded Ukraine. Russia will now be dealing with the consequences of those actions for the next several decades, as it should be.

Its okay when the EU, UN and NATO do it though.

Its okay when the EU, UN and NATO do it though.

If the EU, UN, or NATO ever invade an otherwise-peaceful, sovereign nation, I'll protest equally loud against it. But the bottom line is that there aren't any modern parallels to draw on with Putin's attempt to annex the entirety of Ukraine. The age of conquerors is long since past, and as a part of a global economy, Russia has no means to escape what's coming to them.

I dont think you understand what the EU is or does.

I know what imperialism is, and allowing potential member nations to voluntarily submit requests to join a club ain't it. You're even allowed to leave any time you want, as demonstrated by the UK. That doesn't mean you won't regret it though, as also demonstrated by the UK.

 

[Lucaserf]

Has NATO invaded a sovereign country in order to avoid that? Has NATO made up stuff in order to justify an invasion?

 

[pustal]

most Americans already know its BS, but the Far Right wants to Blame Biden for the SUN Setting each day

Big oil with Rather just Paid Foreign nations More Money and then double the increase to Americans,
Than spending their own money creating new Drilling site

Do they? 'Cause his approval ratings aren't going great: https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-BIDEN/POLL/nmopagnqapa/

I think big oil, like anything else want to maximize profits. The thing with inflation is that when costs go up, companies make it as an excuse for everything to go much higher than it should.

Here there it has become a meme, that when the barrel goes up a bit, the "gallon" (liter) price always go up, when the barrel goes down, the "gallon" doesn't go down "to prevent future rises".

We consume Brent mostly. In 2013 Brent had the same cost as last week and the averge liter price was €1,619 back then and it reached €1,936 now and it's predicted to rise another €0,14 next week.

At the same time, locally operating gas companies had record breaking profits last year and they have massivelly spent on propaganda to blame taxes, and have been in a year-long campaign to lower taxes on gas.

Coincidentally, ahead of the public effords to ride that narrative is our neo-liberal party, the Liberal Initiative that have members with ties to Students for Liberty, a Koch founded and financed institution.

Inflation doesn't affect just oil or gas, also affects things like renting costs, car prices, everything that's not manufactured in-house (imports) or that may be expensive to produce, like meat.
If you see an extra cost increase in all of them on the same timeline, as, say last year, while also noting a shortage of them, then that's guaranteed inflation.

Socialist countries around here like Argentina already have empty supermarkets, no products at all, when 14 years ago they had the exact ammount of them as Chile, just twice as expensive. In Chile the shortage can be seen already, same as 10~ years ago like in Argentina, and prices are skyrocketing now.

Also it's worth noting 10% of the chilean income left when a new socialist constitution was agreed back in 2021

Needless to say, back in the 70s, when the inflation was about 500%, affecting the most basic food like bread, then government decided to add a price control, and guess what happened.... no bread available!

Thus they had the shitty idea of creating JAP (Juntas de Abastecimiento y Control de Precios) so you could have bread as long as you supported a Communist Regime, otherwise you'd starve to death

I'd be surprised if you even had a bank account at this point.

Not sure where you got that impression since that seems like you more than me. I calls 'em as I sees 'em as well, and I sees another bullshit storm approaching.

My balance has five digits in it...counting the two beyond the decimal point.

Not sure where you got that impression since that seems like you more than me.

You're willing to condemn Putin and his actions, while simultaneously sticking your head in the sand on Trump's very obvious connections to him. My position on this matter is consistent: all oligarchs are evil, whether in government or the private sector. Your position is influenced by tribalism, so it's not surprising that hypocrisy comes attached to that by default.

 

[SG854]

And you bootlick for the left. Actually, you're worse since I'm pretty sure you'd spread your ass cheeks wide for them.

Whoa lol

Its okay when the EU, UN and NATO do it though.

No it's not

 

[Tomato123]

Some good news.

 

[djpannda]

Thanx… he most likely was on the Train I mentioned yesterday… hope he’s able to return back to some normalcy.. and again FUCK PUTIN

Dude, that's because you believe the lies and fantasies about how "evil" Trump is. You don't have to like him, but at least have valid reasons as to why so you don't look like a brainwashed fool, but whatever, do what you want to do. And your position is far from consistent from what I've seen. Or if it is, it's the typical dipshit nonsensical position many have nowadays. I honestly wish Putin would fire a nuke just so other countries of the world would do the same so we can get all be vaporized and I wouldn't have to deal with stupid people anymore.
