this was public knowledge years ago. to me, it's among the worst things to happen to the planet...idk...ever.

cmon Plas. there's zero reason rich cities should be sh1tholes. it's directly related to policy. are you saying that there's nothing a city can do to prevent this? are you saying that recent policy changes didn't directly cause this? that's either either naive or a tribal defense.

what 'shutdown of the economy' are you speaking of? covid shut downs? as far as stimulus checks, yep, they were started by Donnie, and i didn't agree with it. then Biden got in and made it worse. Both are to blame, sure. that being said, a bit of stimulus didn't seem horrible. biden kept piling on which was exacerbated by the pain from shutting down domestic oil. and if he'd have his way, it would get worse with the student debt deal. agree with you about the 'inflation is transitory' nit wits (typically biden apologists).

look, as Bob Dole pointed out, it is a form of socialism, by definition. i don't like socialism and i don't have any sort of affinity to the state of Mississippi. furthermore, it is the elected officials job to create economic channels. that being said, if you think California, by the very nature and size of their state, doesn't have more resources than most states idk what to tell you. their GDP ranks up their with the best countries on earth. and yet they have major major quality of life problems and the worst purchasing power of any state (by far) other than hawaii.

but we've sent them cold hard cash, too. https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts you can't just dismiss everything we've done for Ukraine as worthy trash we were going to get rid of. Also, you know more about the military obviously, but isn't Chinese navy lightyears improved? like approaching or surpassing ours? you honestly underestimate Chinese military power?

i don't want to even hear your stupid spin theory. nothing says 'ideologue,' and i mean nothing, than denying inflation in the US wasn't caused by Biden's policies. i think you're a sharp dude, but the 'it's a global problem' is full scale stupid.

wtf are you talking about. wokeness is more than silly. it literally affects policy. and both the Hillary and Hunter stories were true, you enormous dope.

i already apologized to a nation. just stfu.

i didn't interject party into this, did i?

anyone ever read up on the Clinton's relationship in Haiti?

i was not aware of that. where is that data? what do you make of that (in the context of this thread)? In 2017 the EU opened Ukraine to EU services, trade, and travel. I can't imagine that helped cool off Russian aggression. when did they start firing in Russia?

roger that. i agree. i don't comment on this thread with the attitude that it's a great problem. just find it comical. you're correct, in the grand scheme of things it's of little consequence.

it often blows my mind: what i think is common sense is often refuted/defended by people on the other side of the aisle. this one however, i think/hope leaves all of us exasperated. just a monster coverup by both sides in Washington. PS: Epstein didn't kill himself.

no one even pushes on the epstein story. it's sad.

Joe Biden closed pinched domestic oil production on day which caused massive inflation and opened the border and all the problems that come with it. what are the terrible policies of the right you're so concerned about. (and please, don't for one moment dispute inflation as a global problem or try and say the border is not 1) open 2) caused by the left)

both can be true. those comments were not during trump admin and 2014's annexation was under the Obama. in other words, RUS has been poking at Ukraine for ten years except...oh, when trump was in office. so, really, your assertion really doesn't hold up

that's not what's going on here. the question was not rhetorical. the answer Le Duke gave in his second response was what i was looking for. again, you're reading into stuff.

lmfao. i'm really sorry i'm dividing a nation by calling out lunacy. i hereby apologize to America. the problem certainly isn't that leftist policies are full scale asinine and are making people upset. it's 100% b/c very insensitive people like myself talk about it the audacity.

there's a difference between mismanaged and not having an abundance of resources. if KY, MS, etc have resources and dropping the ball, then yes, they deserve to be called out. what's very clear is CA has one of the biggest economies in the world and currently, b/c of policy and ideology, very wealthy cities look like zombie land.

can we just all agree that California is a mismanaged trainwreck? i mean, things are getting dark around here. let's just all find something we can agree on.

let's be clear - i know you lean left and you know i lean right. i DID NOT say the US did. i asked a question. stop reading in to me. ok, with the genetic fallacy out of the way, let's get to the substance... did you watch the video? who cares what account tweeted it. if you actually took the time to watch the video it's the logical conclusion the US was playing the game. she literally said 'eff the EU', which to me, is telling.
