  1. Canada knew what they are doing. Carney is much more prepared and strategic to counter Trump’s erratic trade policies.
  2. A good guess and likely correct. Venezuela is not even in the top 5 cocaine supplier. Drug is lucrative business for drug cartels, they will not stop making and smuggling drugs into USA because of the huge demand. The problem should be addressed at home rather than risk war and unsettle the region.
  3. 5 planes shoot down were 3 French made Rafales and one each MiG-29 and Su-30. India has neither denied or confirmed the downing. You correct that Indian AF does not currently have Gripen.
  4. You could be right. I just think that this is more a direct sanction as it target specific entities or countries. Indirect don't explicitly name the target. I stand corrected. In any case, China has also halted buying from Russia. Oil price spike after the new of the sanction and adding woes to the sticky inflation. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/china-state-oil-majors-suspend-russian-oil-buys-due-sanctions-sources-say-2025-10-23/
  5. I think this direct sanctions on two biggest suppliers of Russian oil may impact oil revenue that fund the war. Their biggest buyers are from the Indians and Chinese. The sanction will force Indian refineries which are mostly private corporations to re-consider the risks on finance, insurance and trade. India buy almost 90 million tons of oil worth close to 3 B USD. Some of the Chinese private refineries may re-consider to buy Russian oil for the same reason.
  6. Anyone with a fragile ego shouldn't be in a position of leadership. President need to carry themselves with self-confidence and humility. In any case, US does not have all the cards with Canada. As Elon Musk said, Canada has won the mineral war just like China has won the rare earth war. Canada is trolling Trump and he fell for it lock, stock and barrel. Canada knows the scorecard.
  7. Goodness such fragile ego and he is the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. Jesus wept. This man baby need a pacifier.
  8. Point taken. Change that to sex predator. Thanks.
  9. Good question considering that the Maga movement is linked to Christian nationalism and yet stay silent to his blatant corruption and pedophilia.
  10. $4 billion was generated for America crime family crypto projects by Zhao connected World Liberty Financial according to Wall Street Journal. Guess his $450,000 payment to lobbyist Charles McDowell who is close friend of Trump Jr. pay off big time. Wouldn't be the last of the crime family grifting business.
  11. There is no official list from the White House. However there are potential donors that attended the project dinner. We will have to wait for the official list as the cost of construction is rising and more fundings are needed. When the list of donors are revealed, we will get the chance to see what these donors get for their generosity.
  12. Who please. Any list of private donors revealed? We know not to trust any words from him.
  13. If Putin dropped dead ( hope it does), the Prime Minister will be the replacement under Russia constitution and he will have to hold election in 3 months. Mikhail is a technocrat and apolitical and so it will be good for Russia. He is also popular and can win the election. 🙏
  14. Ballroom fiasco will bring few more millions to the next No King protest. Feelings on the streets are pure anger by the gross negligence of the President to forsake addressing the shutdown while spending time and money on his vanity projects. This federal worker was in line for food aid. “ No one deserves to be treated the way that we're being treated right now -- and to watch them tear down the people's house and to build some fancy ballroom when that money could be taking care of Americans," she said, referring to the $250-million White House renovation that broke ground this week.
  15. Financial arrangement has not been stitched. That’s the type of cooperation and commitment from European allies to arm Ukraine. Must come as a surprise for you who is used to Trump’s transactional and bullying style. Ukraine not buying F16 is direct snub at Trump. This is the largest aircraft’s bought by Ukraine and will rattle Putin senseless air strikes and help in Ukraine air defense.
  16. Let me summarize how wrong you are. - BBB is unpopular and GOP losing battle of public opinion. Majority have negative perception. - China, lost the market of farm products, rare earth and the trade deficit still there. No deals concluded. - Middle East, no peace in Gaza yet and Iran still have the capabilities to enrich their uranium - Russia/Ukraine, no peace in sight. His pledge and numerous meetings came and went. - South America, war crimes and losing our key allies - illegals deportation is less then Obama Busy do not translate to achievement. This is because he has no clear vision, no detail planning and do not reflect on and learn from failures.
  17. A dismissive white house is excellent news for the Dems going into mid-term. Gallup's latest party identification polls revealed significant jump of 7 points advantage of the Dems over the GOP. This is a very big jump in polls party ID measurement. Going into 2024 Presidential election, Rep held the lead. The 7 pts are huge and is quite telling of the mid-term. So please continue to put your collective GOP heads in the hind of your dear leader and allow your orange jesus to continue his mismanagement of policies and disregard the constitution. MTG now has the clarity in her brain to warn his fellow Reps that they are in for a good spanking mid-term. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/cnn-data-guru-stunned-shocking-161428994.html
  18. Maybe you should compare what he achieved with all the travelling and meetings. Why not start with the number of bills that this House passed under Trump.
  19. Exactly it is worst when he spoke out in the National Security meeting with all the heads of enforcement agencies. Trump is now acting out on violence against his own people by deploying National Guards to protect ICE.
  20. What is soley needed is he pay more time on matters that affect the people like the shutdown and not indulge in grandiose project to serve his vanity.
  21. Very weak defense. The man is an ordinary guy speaking to a bunch of unknown people while he is the President speaking to his General. .
  22. Pales against this from President Trump at protesters. Just shoot them,” the president reportedly said.
  23. Putin will never meet with Zelensky. If he does, it will legitimize the sovereignty of Ukraine and acknowledge that Zelensky is the leader. Putin has always stated that Ukraine is an inalienable part of Russia. It will also be hard for Putin to explain to the Russian people as he has brainwashed them that Zelensky is a Nazi. The Russian people will question why he is talking to a Nazi. Russia has to be destroyed to end the war and US must fulfill their obligation as Nato member to provide the necessary weapons like the Tomahawk missiles to inflict serious damage to the Russian military and infrastructures.
