The way you phrase this makes it seem like the oligarchs had no responsibility in shaping how Russia is today.
Russia is at least as complicit in its own destiny.
I think you can understand why any nation wouldn’t just fully embrace a failed state with their arms wide open, particularly one that, up until a recent turn, had been its most vehement opposition.
Keep fighting, my brothers and sisters.
Your typo took me way back. There was a game called "Wall Street Kid" for the NES where you could "invest" in companies in the stock market, with the hopes to make it big. Many of the companies in it were a play on words of real-world companies. Boeing's was "Boing Boing". Thanks for the nostalgia today, though I wish it would have arrived on a more optimistic post.
The guy you replied to has replied in a similar variant of “x event happened, therefore dems don’t want to win.”
Can’t fault them though, he’s just doing his job and following orders. The opposite would be …. Unthinkable
Instead, they should just throw their superior horses at invading Russian tanks again, right?
I think some of these folks are jaded that Bernie didn’t win the presidency. And that is completely understandable, it’s a shame that our country, and the dems for that matter, are not that left leaning.
But what I think they fail to remember is that Bernie was elected as a Senator from Vermont. Kucinich, Omar, AOC have been voted in multiple times as representatives. While the country as a whole is not so left leaning, there are pockets in this country that are. Change can start at the local level, with actual local laws that impact your actual life a whole lot more than the small, but significant handful of things at the federal level.
But notice that these folks are all democrats. If you want the AOCs and Omars of the world to have more power, then the best way to do that is to vote their party in as well.
There’s a Russian expat YouTuber I found yesterday. He mentioned this very thing. In Russia, all police are federal and thus serve the state, in the US the police are local (yes, we do have some federal enforcers, but they are dwarfed by local police). It blew the guy’s mind that we actually have local police that have to respond to citizens and politicians at the local level. Conversely, it blew my mind that this isn’t necessarily the status quo.
All that is to say, the people on here that are saying “Biden do something!” May not understand that our president is not, and at least for the moment, cannot, be dictator in chief. And I for one am thankful for it.
I’m going to answer this honestly, because on the internet I can’t tell if you’re being funny or curious. Kanye referred to Jesus as Yeezy. Once he became so grandiose in the music industry, and his mental disorder started to take over, he started calling himself Yeezy. So Yeezy should be pronounced like Jesus, I suppose.
In any case, the man has a God complex.
And this article confirms what we all already knew - he likes fish sticks.
To add, the US supports Israel because Israel is still their #1 ally in the region.
Israel is the primary foil to Iran, whose government is a belligerent to America.
It doesn’t all have to be Capitalism vs your ideology; sometimes it’s just old-fashioned geopolitics.
I wouldn’t put it past them, They have crossed over the Pacific Ocean before ☺️
The whole Venezuela v Guyana thing is complicated as hell. It essentially started with the Dutch & Britain drawing Guyana’s maps wrong. Flash forward and Venezuela is all pissed that Guyana’s maps include their territory so arbitration is called in…and the arbiters are the US and UK of all nations. And of course they vote in Guyana’s favor.
So Venezuela of course is once again pissed and doesn’t accept the binding arbitration agreement. Flash forward again and now it’s been made even more complicated since oil has been found off the coast of the contested territory. Even worse, Guyana is poorly equipped to defend it.
To put it simply, it’s a shitshow.
So now it will likely go to the State's appellate court. I'd venture it won't be resolved by Election Day.
And now we get to find out if the US citizenry have the audacity to elect a convicted felon as president. Oh, what a precedent to set.
