Regarding the "They want war because 50% of the world's wealth is produced there" quote, found under the Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand entry.
Maybe if we hadn't begun outsourcing our production around 1990 to 1995 to China and closing our small appliance factories, hand tool factories, lamp factories, light bulb factories, etc., we wouldn't have a peer rival that we feel the need to pick a fight with. If China is Frankenstein's Monster, are we Doctor Frankenstein?
It's not solely China's fault what has happened to the white middle-class.
When I first saw Wal-Marts in rural Missouri and the Metro East (the Illinois side of the St. Louis metropolitan area) around 1985, Wal-Mart was big on made in USA. They bragged how they were able to work with Huffy bicycles to keep production here.
I agree, and wasn't saying that it is. I am guessing that the powers that be in the USA feel that way. (Not taht I think the powers that be remotely care about the white working class) are anyone besides themselves.
China delegate at Shangri-La Dialogue: "From Afghanistan to Iraq, from Ukraine to Gaza, all these crises and conflicts are results of the self-serving double standards of the USA. Facts have proved that the USA is the biggest source of chaos in the international order."
yes, and hillary was on the board of wal-mart while ol' lady walton was financing bill's trip to the white house in 1991, so, yes, the entire sell out America to enable the rich to get richer was under the clintonian disaster.
not really calling you a democrat, so don't take that personally!
But really, treason was the game of the 90's, as the gore's set up an arranged marriage with a jacob schiff heir to their daughter so they could have an heir in the 'family', so to speak. And the clinton's set up to get 'their' ugly daughter married to ed mezvinsky's *the crook* son who somehow (??) got into goldman sachs. Gore was supposed to guarantee the stealing of Russia's resources through the corrupt privatization auctions by overseeing it in the gore-chernomyrdin Commission [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gore–Chernomyrdin_Commission ] through which the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management LTCM was supposed to raise the funds through manipulations and extraction of Russian wealth by loading up on Russian Government Debt and leveraging that (because ol' Al guaranteed that they were good). But Putin as head of the FSB found out about the whole scheme to use Russian debt as an asset to leverage to fund the stealing of their resources, and the Russians defaulted on those bonds in August 1998, which led to a giant collapse of the Western banking system - which led to the fake bailout of the internet bubble (which required another BS bailout of the housing bubble, etc). So the hatred of Putin goes back to his FSB uncovering the scam of the LTCM-Gore–Chernomyrdin_Commission scam, which was all about funding the stealing of their resources. And yes, the clinton's and gore's knew and were promised insider status. And they are the most treasonous Americans in the history of the USA.
sorry about the disjointed comments, but I'll never be back as this was a fluke that I got on.
But to understand what's happening, you must know about the 90's attempted theft of the Russian resources utilizing the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission and LTCM as the funding sources (fake money through investment banking lending ficticious money to LTCM - all the investment banks went under upon the Russian default in August 1998). That scheme was collapsed likely due to Putin's FSB discovery and enforced by the Russian government as Yeltsin's power was exposed to the nation's remaining patriots. Unless you understand that scheme and its undoing by the hands of Putin's FSB, you cannot understand why the 'West' hates Putin so much. It all goes back to LTCM. The investment banks that went under at that time included Canadian, British, French, Dutch, German and of course, American. A very large collapse that was saved by the internet stock bubble (or at least fake saved because that was merely hidden inflation).
Regarding the Houthis, if American thinks it can tell Ukraine that she can attack within Russia's borders using American-made weapons, it stands to reason that Russia (or some other country) will, either now, or in the future, provide the Houthis weaponry capable of bloodying our nose. Even without any other country's sophisticated weapons, the law of averages suggests that after enough tries, the Houthis may eventually succeed on their own.
I don't know if our countrymen appreciate the danger that we exposed ourselves to by our jingoism.
Back in the day, the Boy Scouts (can I even say BOY Scouts anymore?) allowed boys to earn merit badges. I almost said give, out of habit, but they were earned. In today's America, race, gender, sexual preference, handicap, etc., are doled out like Pokémon cards. Then the disadvantaged countryman gets to play them, as though laying down a royal flush, straight flush, full house, what have you. Case in point, a commercial for having an alcohol addiction, the person points out that she is a black woman, as though she is especially hit hard, just because she's a black woman.
To my point, who wins the poker hand when it's Pride vs. Free Palestine? These are two titans of the diversity industry and my scorecard doesn't tell me how to proceed to be outraged.

The "photo" looks totally fake--the superstructure appears to be located in the middle of the flight deck. The Polish reads: "Direct hit." Yemen uses ballistic rockets to attack American aircraft carrier Eisenhower as it sails in the Red Sea. But instead of a ballistic missile the "video" seems to show a cruise missile.
Divide-and-rule does not work when targeting several adversaries at the same time:
- Numerous high-level Americans confirm the war objective in Ukraine is to knock out Russia as a strategic rival, so US focus and resources can be directed toward defeating China.

"There is no US naval base in Jeddah, nor does it host any reloadable munitions. The only reason it would go there is because it is the nearest port, and for emergency repairs. The carrier should be able to stay at sea for many months, not needing to go to small local ports."
True, but the timing of the ship unexpected turn around to Jeddah is odd. Plus there are reports on X ( Lord Bebo and Megatron) that the video released by the Ike Commander to prove no damage were from Last Month 🤔🤔
I think something happened and they have ordered the crew to be quiet about it.

Good luck figuring it out folks. I'm outta here!!
On a hunch I just read up on Browder's family background.
Thanks. Do you have any more documentation? Sounds very interesting.
Same here, Cass. See my clarification to mistcr.

JUST IN:  China says "anyone who dares to separate Taiwan from China will be smashed into pieces and face their own destruction."
Of coursee we don't knoww what this means, but coming on top of joining TikTok and saying he'd pull lots of troops out of Europe ...
BREAKING:  Khabib told President Trump to stop the genocide in Gaza.
He said he will stop it.
It would be interesting to say the least if the Ike had been hit. However, none of the alternative news sites are covering this.

The largest number of casualties in a single day since October 7th

Quit while you're behind.
The Ike has been at sea 7 months, and in combat for 6 months.
Could be it was hit, or they need to replenish armaments because defense missiles are at to low a level.

Never a dull moment these days...
Maybe the crew want to celebrate "Pride" month over there.
