If the US market was scammed by a deep fake, who’s the idiot then?

Meanwhile, in communist, authoritarian China governed by a dictator, the citizens are enjoying universal health care, free schooling, cheap and affordable housing, public transportation and groceries and increasing life expectancy. So evil… That’s why they are a threat to global (western) security.

To be an enemy of America is dangerous. To be an ally is fatal. These words are getting truer by the day.

After 20 years, the US failed to conquer Afghanistan because they didn’t set out to do so. Similarly, Russia didn’t set out to conquer Ukraine. That was merely western propaganda to try and claim some sort of hollow victory. I’m surprised you can’t see that. Did I tell you that I have a bridge for sale?

That’s right. It seems like towns and villages are falling under Russian control almost on a daily basis. Budanov reportedly said that by the summer, if things go on as they are now, Ukraine would effectively be finished. Latest news of course is that certain EU nations are planning to resume purchases of Russian oil and gas. They are even talking about repairing and reopening Nordstream as energy prices are really hurting their economies. Who would’ve guessed lol.

Curious as to why you think Betamax vs VHS is analogous to ICE vs EV. In the case of the former, market demand of more movies, never movies etc determined which format would win out. With vehicles, it’s a piece of equipment that gets you from point A to B in the best level of comfort at the best value. Based on this, I would suggest that an ICE is the better Betamax equivalent. I am in a unique position of having both an ICE and EV in the same vehicle ie a PHEV. 99% of my regular driving is done in EV mode. Why? Because it’s a superior driving experience, more economical and I don’t waste time filling up in a petrol station. If you want to come on here to debate the virtues of both, you are very welcome. Everyone welcomes a different point of view but it should be an educated one with some basis of facts or logic. A statement such as yours without any supporting argument lowers your credibility in spite of your username.

Since Russia hardly exports anything to the US, I doubt Putin is worried much about tariffs. As for sanctions, is there anything that hasn’t been sanctioned yet?

That’s a very good point that was also raised by an economics professor at the LSE when asked about the population decline of China.

By “everybody” I’m assuming you mean the pro-Ukrainian faction. A stalemate means neither side is gaining any ground. However even a poster on here that is fighting over there concedes that Ukraine is losing ground, slowly but surely. And if you watch news from sources other than western msm, you will also realise that Russia is gaining more ground towards Dnipropetrovsk. But believe whatever you like. Yes, western msm reports that Russia is losing thousands of troops a week. Sounds like you believe those reports. In case you’re interested, I have a bridge for sale…

Yes, because you lack the cognitive ability to recognise it………

I must admit I never really noticed as my car is almost always kept under shade. My AC is set at 25 as the Haval AC is extremely efficient (my BYD is normally set to 20).

Sorry for late reply. I went to start up the Haval and no sound. It does make a whining sound when I start driving but only at low speeds.

You clearly do, obviously…

As most posters only read western msm, they are totally ignorant of what’s happening on the frontlines so you can’t really blame them for thinking that Ukraine is winning the conflict. Some to this day still think that it was Putin who said the conflict would be over in a few days when it was Mark Milley who said it. Can’t help people if they don’t want to know the truth.

The experts making the decisions? Lol. The so called experts merely look at data and make guesses. The ones making the decisions on whether to increase or decrease oil production don’t give a rat’s ass as to what the “experts” say.
