[QUOTE=EihTooms;3082188]Not only does it become more and more likely that Repub Donald Trump will leave office after two terms, 8 miserable years, with his classic Repub economic policies and stewardship having failed to create one single net gain private-sector American job, but the even more depressing although hardly surprising fact is it is possible that all three most recent Repub presidents combined, through 20 horrific years of their classic Repub economic policies and stewardship, will not have created one single net gain private-sector American job.[/QUOTE]Do you understand that the Democratic party is historically racist?
[QUOTE]historically the Democratic Party was deeply entangled with racism, particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. From its antebellum era through the mid-20th century, the party, especially its Southern wing, served as the primary political vehicle for slavery, Jim Crow segregation, and white supremacy.[/QUOTE][B]Whos kidding who?

There is not real differences between the political parities in the Dis United States of America. They are both looking out for their own interests. None of them are looking out for mine. Why? Because I am poor.

[QUOTE=ShooBree;3083555]Lmfao, you democrats sure love to play the race card. I find the racism, Nazism, Islamism and antisemitism in the Democratic party to be repulsive. Instead of trying to work on their own party democrats starts to cry about Republicans. It's sad to see.[/QUOTE]

Is this the Republican example of a undeclared military action working on behalf of my fellow citizens of the Dis United States of America? Thank you Republicans for showing that you just don't care about the average citizen (especially the poor ones like myself) in the Dis United States of America.[/QUOTE]Who but a loving, caring Repub so-called president would so generously promise to pay every American adult $5000 if they vote the way he wishes them to vote in order to prevent him from adding the 2026 midterms to his list of things he touched that turned to shit and died?
We all know how the conversation at Mar-a-Lardo went:
Miller: "Sir, the people who support you and your Republican Party have been blitheringly stupid enough to believe our "wokeism", DEI, Culture War bullshit talking points all these years and thereby put us into power in order to consistently over and over achieve our Party's singular mission and goal to produce one Great Depression, Great Recession and Massive American Jobs Destruction after another going back at least 100 years as well as plunge America into any and every Forever, Unwinnable, Counterproductive War of Choice possible, Sir. So, Sir, you know they will be blitheringly stupid enough to fall for a $5000 bribe that only numbskulls like them could ever believe you will pay, Sir."
Trump: "Of course, I know they are that blitheringly stupid. That's the reason I chose to run for office in the Republican Party!
Miller: "Sir, right, Sir. Sir, then $5000 is the bribery con number, Sir?
Trump: "Covfefe!
Miller: "Sir, yes, Sir! Sir, I'll load it into the teleprompter, Sir."
The Dis United States of America is a Constitutional Federal Republic
[QUOTE=ShooBree;3083670]USA is a democracy, it's a simple and overwhelmingly obvious fact. Quite easy to verify.[/QUOTE]The USA Is more precisely described as a constitutional federal republic. This means:
Constitutional: Government power is limited by the Constitution, which protects individual rights regardless of majority rule.
Federal: Power is divided between the national government and the 50 state governments.
Republic: Supreme power is vested in the people, who exercise it through elected officials.
The distinction between "democracy" and "republic" is often misunderstood. In modern political science, these terms are not mutually exclusive; the USA Combines democratic principles (majority rule and citizen participation) with republican institutions (elected representatives and constitutional limits on power). While the word "democracy" does not appear in the Constitution, the Framers (all white landholders and some that owned slaves) and early leaders like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams used the term to describe the representative system they created.
And the Republicans just keep spinning
Individuals who lack the ability to think in a logical manner and perform analysis think the Dis United States of America are winning this undeclared military action.

Saudi Arabia is requesting military assistance.
I do not give my agency away to experts. I can think for myself!
[QUOTE]-Majid Rafizadeh: "One of the most effective methods Israel used to weaken Hezbollah and Hamas was the systematic targeting and removal of leadership. Trump started to use the same tactic, then stopped. Reapplying it would deliver a helpful message that the regime cannot continue on its current path.
If the US is concerned that then there might not be anyone with whom to make a "deal," the US should not be looking for a deal. A "deal" will not be honored by Iran, anyway. The US should be looking for unconditional surrender.
Iran's rulers, who have murdered an estimated 100,000 of their own citizens, clearly could not care less if a million oil tankers are hit or if "ordinary Iranians" cannot buy food or fuel. Whatever happened to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's threat to reclaim for the people of Iran their leaders' secret bank accounts in the British Virgin Islands and $100 million villas?
The United Arab Emirates, after Iran targeted its territory with missiles and drones, once again highlighted the decisive, farsighted leadership of President Mohamed bin Zayed al Nahyan to cut trade and financial relations with Iran. Severing relations with Iran's regime should become the standard.
It would be a blessing to eliminate this Islamist regime and as soon as we can. It has spread terrorism, anti-Americanism, antisemitism and the sickening repression of a great people for nearly five decades. The opportunity is here. Let us get it done."
Dr. Majid Rafizadeh is a political scientist, Harvard-educated analyst, and board member of Harvard International Review. He has authored several books on the US foreign policy.[/QUOTE]Easy for academics to write. But has he sat in a political chair with real diplomatic power? If he has not then he is NO expert in actual war fighting and diplomatic operations. I do not give my agency over to experts. He is just another individual writing from the safety of his arm chair in a office. Is he willing to put himself, son or daughter or any member of his family in harms way to accomplish the objectives he proffers in the quote the OP posted?
Thailand is introducing SMRs in order to move past chaos in the middle east
[QUOTE=Spidy;3082219]And what point would that be, about Canada?
LOL! As usually the MAGA faithless, can't see the trees through the forest and are blinded by dumb culture-wars MAGA ideology, too backwards, to see it's own [I]U.S. nation[/I] in decline under MAGA Fuhrer 2.0.
Slow your MAGA horses! Once again no doubt, your MAGA knuckleheaded ideology and understanding, of Canada's energy situation, is nothing, if not very rudimentary at best.
What you fail to realize (and is blatantly obvious) is that Canada, the EU, China, the Global South and all the worlds nations, are pivoting with regards their energy security and future reliance on fossil fuels and moving more towards, clean renewable energy, after seeing yet another fossil fuel crisis, ballistic high diesel, gas and fossil prices go through the roof, due to your [I]dumbass illegal MAGA Fuhrer/Bonkers Bibi's U.S./Israeli[/I] war on Iran.
But hey [I]...if Canada[/I] wants to build oil and gas pipelines to nowhere (beyond the current ones), they should have at it!
But let's be perfectly clear, many on the left in Canada, still believe it a "fool's errand" and once again will be a waste of taxpayer's money to enrich fossil fuel billionaires, and those future pipelines to supposedly supply Asia, are a relatively futurist dead end, as the Global South pivots to clean energy and electrification.
Not only will the future Asian market NOT be there in the abundance, for Canada to sell it's fossil fuels, but it's high cost of production per barrel of oil, will precariously leave put in very uncompetitive grounds with low production costs from [I]OPEC, UAE, the Saudis and the U.S[/I].
In the infamous nonsensical MAGA words, of Sec. Of Energy Chris Wright, [I][B]"...there is, no there's there"[/B] {...essentially saying this about climate change...}[/I].
[B]AND FOR GOOD MEASURE[/B] [I](...to make my point clear)[/I]:
Coincidentally, according to many sources like Bloomberg NEF, China's oil demand probably just peaked, in 2025. Even the biggest oil producer in China, Sinopec, recently came out and declared this. [I]Sinopec, China Oil Demand 'Very Likely' Peaked in 2025,[/I] Aug 24th, 2026. [URL]https://www.rigzone.com/news/wire/sinopec_says_china_oil_demand_very_likely_peaked_in_2025-24-aug-2026-184444-article/[/URL].
So please tell me, as the EU and the Global South (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Africa, Australia), follows China towards electrification, I wonder who these future Asian markets will be, that Canadian pipelines, are going to be selling their high-priced, fossil fuels to, ahead of the lowest cost producers like, OPEC or the UAE?[/QUOTE]Remember when we had the discussion about SMR in the Dominican Republic? Well Thailand just announce today that they are going to pursue them. Target for commercial operation is 2037.
