Let's see what is left of the US economy once the petro dollar looses its special status. How high is the US national debt again? The interest payments are already more than military spending.

 

The US economy is finished, a financial abyss and cvil war are looming, as you cant keep on inflating your money supply. I give it 5 to 10 years max, before the house of cards (aka the Great American  Ponzi scheme ) collapses. 

Trump will accelerate the decline with his billionaires, tariff wars and international missteps. America is deemed as untrustworthy by many countries in trade and foreign policies.

Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Millions of dollars contributed by foreign countries in support of Ukraines's war effort have disappeared. Over the years Kyev governments have  treated Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine with brutality. These, and other issues, are conveniently played down by most people in the western 

media. Worth bearing this in mind by those aiming to negotiate a cessation of hostilities. 

 

That's the Kremlin/RT channel comic book version. Where did you hear it? 

 

The political class know a little more about the truth of the matter, than someone who just sits around watching Kremlin propaganda on YouTube.

The version that wants us to believe that the evil Ukrainians were just randomly attacking little old ladies, as opposed to the FACT that they were fighting with Russian special forces disguised as Russian separatists. 

 

Just out of interest, since you state that Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries, due to "millions of dollars disappearing" Who do you think is number one?

How much does DOGE state is unaccounted for in the USA thus far? Do you think it is a figure far in excess of anything that happens in Ukraine?

What about the phony war over WMD that didn't exist? What do you think that was about?

I don't need to put too fine a point on it, lest I'm accused of being off-topic.

Cowards? Says a guy on a computer who never fought in any war. Most Americans are sick of funding wars or Americans dying overseas.

That's right, attack the messenger in true Trumpian fashion.

 

Most Australians are sick of spending our blood and treasure to support a country that gets into wars, then cuts and runs when the American public changes like a weathercock.

 

You could take lessons from us, ask the East Timorese if we finished the job there.

 

You'll be dying in your own country soon enough.

 

Fact: 70% of you are fat slugs.

 

Fact: Your new health czar is an anti-vaxxing lunatic.

 

Americans now are not the Americans of yesterday. Everybody knows it except you.

Why would I want to take a job from Trump?

 

I get thrown under a bus, or dudded like thousands of former contractors. Probably both.

 

You really can't think outside the square of ad hominem posts, can you?

Food inflation at 10%, bank interest rate 21% = 26% to any borrowers.

 

Ruble down 50%, passenger aircraft fleet 400. Before the invasion, over 700.

 

Export income from oil and gas halved. No functioning pipelines from east to west. Oil exports by small, uninsured tankers.

 

Yeah, the Russian economy is terrific, unless you are an ordinary Russian.

Actually, Trump and Co. just watched as Obama let the Russians take Crimea and Trump has never lambasted Obama for just that even though he seems to have an "Obama" hate for which I can't fault him but to repeat Putin progaganda is non-excusable to me.

What can Obama do? There was a referendum, the majority voted Russia.

You cannot preach democracy areound the globe, only to not accept a result when it doesn't go the way you wanted.

Brexit is a good example of that.

I am predicting Trump will lift the sanctions in any peace deal.

 

Which is stupid, because American exporters of oil and gas are making a motza in Europe presently.

 

But then, kissing Putin's butt seems to be a priority with Trump.

 

Don't you ever wonder why?

I am disappointed in Vance though. He should be more worldly., and I thought, considering his consistant public and private comments in 2016 and 2017, he was putting on some sort of necessary act.

Way off topic, but entertaining nonetheless.

You have to admire Trump's ability to turn adversity into opportunity.

Clear out Gaza and give me the land to make a new Riviera (i.e. hotels and casinos).

Clear out the Ukrainians and give me the rare earth materials and oil.

 

You have to admire his chutzpa.
