Ludicrous. Russia has shown precisely zero interest in the Baltics. Why would they want them anyway. What a nonsense.

Lol, you are so naive. That is what government does, what it has done for centuries. Or why do you think there are laws against defamation, incitement to violence, threats, "hate" speech, obscenity, national security, classified information, copyright....do you seriously think governments do not have the prerogative to determine what is free speech and what isn't? That's what they DO! For hundreds of years! My proposal would be this: BAN ALL POLITICAL ACTIVISM on campus. All of it. The problem is that leftwing ideologues are using university not for studies, but political activism. Just make it illegal.

Luidcrous, every single male knows when to stop a sexual advance, and does so, bar the criminal minority which is tiny. It has gone completely overboard with "affirmed consent" requiring a male to stop to ensure consent for a kiss, to touch a breast? Are you suggesting these things are desirable and good? No wonder this leftwing cancer thrives. Too many people indulge this insanity.

How does academia benefit from Doc Martens wearing shaven headed feminists screaming "No means No" on campus? Or demanding contract forms to touch your girlfriend's breasts, to kiss her, to ensure "affirmed consent"? How does academia benefit from radical marxists denying the world as it is today? Stop talking nonsense and celebrate this great president making the world a better place. This assault on universities was long overdue. Hopefully Trump will not go soft and eradicate the leftwing cancer from campuses.

No it doesn't, it says both countries would suffer, but China has less bullets. If therefore the trade war went ahead in full, the US would win.

Nonsense. This is in no way a free speech issue. Besides, there is a massively long list of limitations on free speech. These include: 1. Incitement of Violence (which feminists and many on the left routinely engage in on campus) 2. Threats (again a favourite tactic of feminists and leftist) 3. Fighting words (words likely to incite a public disturbance) 4. Inciting imminent lawless action. There are plenty of justifications for curtailing the left in universities.

Actually, you are mistaken on this point. Plenty of people think the US would in fact win a trade war: Why China Can’t Win a Trade War https://time.com/7276876/china-retaliatory-tariffs-us-trade-war/ China is highly dependent on foreign investment, its options in the trade war are very limited. All of them have great drawbacks for China. i don't hate China at all. I love China. I am just being realistic. In a trade war with the US, the Chinese will run out of bullets first. I am in no way predicting China's economy will collapse, however, a trade war WOULD certainly shave a number of points off of China's GDP. The Chinese would have to "eat bitterness" again. The question is not if China's economy will collapse. It won't. However, we are already seeing how China's economy is losing its lustre, even before the tarriffs. Lower growth, unemployment, real estate crisis, unhealty low birth rates, high dependency on foreign investment, low domestic demand, the problems for China go on and on and on. If the US really would go all out in a trade war, the US would win. China's economy would suffer greatly. Nevertheless, the US economy would also suffer, so it is actually more likely that there will be a trade deal done, which will greatly benefit the US. Either way, the US will win. China will lose.

Well Trump is tackling that problem, he is carving out the bloated bureacracy. He is making the rich corporate entities build factories for Americans workers.

It would be great if you could stop talking nonsense. Of course I graduated, but my graduation is neither here nor there. I am well aware of the collegiate structure of Oxford, however, it has no bearing on the fact that in all Angllo-Saxon universities across the board, regardless of collegiate structure or lack thereof, you have this cancer of leftwing ideological garbage. Do you think it is correct that the first thing people see when they go to university is a "No means no" campaign peddled by a shaven headed feminists? That they have to sign contracts to kiss, touch breasts and get "affirmation consent"? That the evils of capitalism are propagandised as if it were 1920s Russia? You are seriously missing the point, as always.

Those are not "your" reserves though, but rather the property of the mining companies. Other nations built up gigantic gold reserves to benefit their peoples. Candada decided not to, however. Gold production by private companies is not the same as gold reserves owned by the state for the benefit of the people.

Canada, alone among nations decided not to build any gold reserves. Greatest financial blunder of all time?

The US has a large number of chipmakers who produce chips in the US. Those US chipmakers who outsource to Taiwan will not be affected by tariffs, as the country of origin will be Taiwan.

No, it really doesn't. Trump can derail China. For a start, China's biggest export market is the US, 400 billion USD worth. Global demand for Chinese goods is limited, it is not infinite. Apart from the EU there is no other market like the US. Secondly, the USA's purchasing power is like 89000 USD, China's is 15000 USD. Thirdly, China has a huge problem with its women, who are refusing to have children. Thus, the prevalence of old people in China and the problem of pension and services. Unemployment is a problem in China. So is the real estate crisis. Taking away 400 billion USD of market is a huge problem for China. China, after all is an export nation that relies on its trading partners to buy its products. It might just be possible that Trump will succeed where Britain failed. When Britain cut down its competition, Germany, it cut off its own nose in the process. However, Trump is not going to war. He is going to bring down China economically. He may just be able to do it.

Tell her not to wear her Louboutins when she goes shopping for eggs.

I was at Oxford University in the UK, it is exactly the same there. The first I saw was a Doc Martens wearing feminist with a shaved head peddling a "No means No" campaign.

Quite a lot. Harvard can thank its political activist feminists and socialists for creating an environment that is oppressive for students and teaches them useless ideology like "stop and ask for consent before you touch the breast, stop and ask for consent before you kiss", that capitalism is bad and all the other leftists nonsense. Of course Trump only has limited levers against Harvard. A stop to federal funding is one lever. Indeed, if it does not work, he could appropriate endowments by passing legislation. Whatever levers there are they have to be used to bring all these universities back to heel and to focus on what they are meant to do, educate and research. Not peddle third rate leftist ideology.

"But it’s that lack of a standard definition for affirmative consent that has led some colleges like Harvard not to adopt it. Harvard’s policy forbids what it calls “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature,” stating that “conduct is unwelcome if a person did not request or invite it and regarded the unrequested or uninvited conduct as undesirable or offensive.” Earlier this week, 28 current and former Harvard law professors said the policy could deny due process process to those who are accused and that its definition of unwanted conduct was too broad and vague. Student activists, meanwhile, said the definition doesn’t go nearly far enough, and urged Harvard to change its definition to one of affirmative consent, saying in a petition that “the absence of a ‘no’ does not mean ‘yes,’ and our university policy should explicitly recognize that.” Mia Karvonides, the university’s Title IX officer, said that Harvard uses a standard that is “consistent with the standard in all federal civil rights laws that apply in an education setting,” and that even its peers in the Ivy League don’t truly use an affirmative consent standard as they don’t require a verbal yes at every turn “The closest any college comes to a defined affirmative-consent approach is Antioch College,” Karvonides said. “Under their policy, consent is given step by step at every point of engagement during an intimate encounter. You must verbally ask and verbally get an answer for every point of engagement. ‘May I kiss you? May I undo your blouse?’ ” https://www.pbs.org/newshour/education/means-enough-college-campuses They have gone insane. Literally. These people are not rational anymore.

They're still free to run their "No means No" and "Contracts before Kissing" campaigns, their anti-capitalist dreams. Just not on the US taxpayer's backs. That's all.

See, this is just the perverted thinking the left comes up with, completely oblivious to the fact that Pol Pot WAS the left. So this is exactly what the left would do. Trump, being an infinitely more humane and wise leader, merely wants those universities to stop the leftist lunacy. Sounds very resasonable to me. Don't worry, none of the gender-studies socialist worker anti-capitalists will be killed. That's what they would do to us. We don't do it to them. Because we are better than leftists.

Exactly, the inflartion is a sign that something is not right, and everyone knows stocks are overvalued. Things are a bit divorced from reality.

There are always these cycles, when debt is available, the stock markets go up, and then a capacity issue is reached, inflation starts, the Fed adjusts monetary policy and things slow down. This is NORMAL. Indeed whenever the capacity to issue debt is reached, and the capacity to service it, the baloon is deflated. This is very, very normal, and necessary. Private consumers taking on debt is of course beneficial for the economy, provided they can service the debt. Only when they cannot, ie it has gone to far, does it become an issue. There were absolutely productivity gains, mostly gained on the backs of the poor, like the rural poor in China, Vietnam and Thailand.

Looks like you're too stupid to know that China's biggest export market is the USA, a value of 400 BILLION USD to the Chinese economy. But Trump holds no cards. Okay, well, thanks for your razor sharp analysis...hahahaha

Lol, yes, I'm sure you can predict the stock market for 25 years. Can I have next week's lottery numbers as well, once in a lifetime genius?

Lol, he's not putting that on his Insta.

The first thing you see when you're a freshman and go on campus is a "No means No" campaign, some feminists have demanded contracts just to kiss at university, all this socialist worker hardcore communist nonsense, none of that serves any positive purpose.
