Stupid shit in Medellin

[Villainy]

The Fake biden admin-- (Not run by the Senile Traitor biden) does whatyever the CIA says-- It's a Clown World-.

You must be an ophan. Otherwise your mother would have told you it was better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and demonstrate it beyond any doubt whatsoever.

Please excuse the intrusion. I felt this belongs in this section so I am cross posting it from the Medellin Reports section: https://medellinexpatnews.com/canadi...8QRQk0We3fXIBv

There are many ways to steal. USA stole USD funds of Russia and Venezuela recently. It weaponises the dollar.

Totally different situation. No one cares about Venezuela because they steal from everyone. Russia is the bogeyman of Democrats, and the dollar was inappropriately IMO weaponized against Russia and stupidly so. Like so much, what Biden and the Dems have done to "punish" Russia has hurt the West much more than Russia.

That is theft.

Well, Russia invaded another country which is stealing as well. Again, I do not like it, but that is the mindset, and it has a lot of support.

US dollars are not safe. Most countries are now looking to hold their funds in other currencies. Why do you think so many countries are keen to join BRICS?

Well, you don't have to wait for BRICs. You can buy a basket of rupees, reals, yuan, and rubles right now. When you say the dollars not safe, it has been a helluva lot safer than those other currencies.

You know I have to agree with Elvis on this one. Just look at countries like Cuba and Venezuela and you will see there is a vast difference between the have and have nots with virtually no middle class.
I asked how could it be that I saw an newer looking audi A4 with Venezuela plates with the situation the way it is in Venezuela and she told me that it was government workers / families of government who have cars like that.

Its hardly fair to compare successful western countries with countries that have been sanctioned to hell and back. Its like tying the hands of a boxer behind his back and then wondering whay he didn't put up much of a fight. Why not compare like with like? USA to Sweden, or Cuba to Congo?

And its great to hear that you base your beliefs on random anecdotes of people you meet in Cucuta. Hehe.

[JustTK]

LOL. The USA has never defaulted on its debt. Venezuela has done so close to ten times. The reason the world puts up with all that political BS is even with that their money is safer in the USA and in USA dollars than anywhere else.

You are using selective reasoning. There are many ways to steal. USA stole USD funds of Russia and Venezuela recently. It weaponises the dollar. That is theft. On a much grander scale than Vnzla. US dollars are not safe. Most countries are now looking to hold their funds in other currencies. Why do you think so many countries are keen to join BRICS?

[Elvis 2008]

USA does not default. It makes the money printer go burr and inflates their way out of trouble. Inflation is theft. The greatest heist in the history of mankind.

Yeah, it is not like Venezuela or China or Brazil would do that. Oh wait.

Keep it in the front of your mind: an alternative payment system to Swift is already technologically possible and being tested. It might pay to diversify. All eggs in one basket because you are patriotic or have hopium is not an effective investment strategy. If you didn't know, now you know.

Yes, by all means, diversify. Thing is why is it all you socialists do not put your money where your mouth is. Keep half your money in USA dollars and the other half in Venezuelan Bolivars. It is safer that way.

Jajajajaja does it sound like Añuel?? Burrrrrrrr.

Do not confuse political systems with economic ones. Socialism is a political system. Not an economic system. Capitalism is an economic system not a political system. Look at China. I rest my case.

Atleast in the capitalist countries you have more of a Middle class and there are more people who can own a car and not just government workers.

Please do not believe the "middle class" hype that those pulling the levers of the system foist upon us. The middle class can barely survive the world over. And as a class they may cease to exist in my life time. The middle class in most countries are the working poor. Barely a step up from the poor.

A focus on outward signs of material wealth can be deceiving. I don't own a car ATM. Does that make me poor? Public transportation and ride share services get me around just fine. IMO if you have to drive yourself around, you ain't shit. Truly rich people have drivers and ride in the back seat. Just saying.

[Gabacho]

Yes, capitalistic nations are uneven. Your neighbor may have two cars while you only have one. In the socialist utopias, everyone outside of the pols has an equal number, none.

You know I have to agree with Elvis on this one. Just look at countries like Cuba and Venezuela and you will see there is a vast difference between the have and have nots with virtually no middle class.

When I was in cucuta I was Audi A4's with tinted windows with Venezuela plates and at the same time there were vennies on la septima fucking me for 25 mil and I asked how could it be that I saw an newer looking audi A4 with Venezuela plates with the situation the way it is in Venezuela and she told me that it was government workers / families of government who have cars like that.

Thanks Gabacho. So the law says he can stand again. He is following the law. He didn't even change the law himself. You might not like that law, but then its not your law. Creating obstacles to prevent competitors getting power. Just take a look in your own backyard, at the USA. Look at all the money, all the corruption, the murders, the silencing / deplatforming / defunding, of anyone that stands in the way, that wants to change the status quo. It has got so ridiculous and pitiful that the next election is a re-run between 2 of the least fittest people in the entire country to run it again. But people still tend to look at other countries and pretend its those countries that are the bad eggs. But anyway, we have veered off topic. Its USA and USA-led Western interference that brings about waves of refugees.

My point here is not so much to defend the actions of the Vnzla Govt, but rather to highlight that you are holding it to double standards.

Venzla are thieves? Oh you mean like the USA? The USA that steals and freezes the US dollar based assets and investments and funds of entire nations if they do not do what the USA tells them to do. The USA that has now encouraged other countries to start trading in oil in non-USD currencies bcos the USA are thieves and have started the downfall of their own currency as the world currency. OK.

You are 100% on target. I am deep into some things. The technology for an alternative payment system to Swift has already been created. Will the BRICS nations be able to come together to use it effectively? That is an open question.

Keep it in the front of your mind: an alternative payment system to Swift is already technologically possible and being tested.. It might pay to diversify. All eggs in one basket because you are patriotic or have hopium is not an effective investment strategy. If you didn't know, now you know.

Right. Saudi Arabia was stolen by the rich from its people. The sheikhs own everything and run the country with an iron fist. They allow large USA oil companies in the share the opportunity. Yes, I agree. That is the difference.

So why is Venezuela so poor and Saudi Arabia so rich? The one word answer is theft.

China and Europe need the oil. They have oil companies. They have bond markets. Let them deal with Venezuela and their thieving ways.
