Building interstellar spacecraft requires advanced automation. Nuclear energy has obvious weapons uses. If there is higher density energy than nuclear, to power spacecraft, then it too can be weaponized.

If they’d need our help, it could only be fighter jets, and they’d need a capacity to hover in the enemy atmosphere, with a space ship large enough to act as an air strip. You can’t drop tanks in the middle of nowhere without fuel and other logistics.

Yes. Maps always have up as north. So just hold a map in front of you, and forward direction is north. Easy.

This is up to congress (who have GOP members who like either UAW or auto company profits/sustainability), but would be a big mistake. US transition to EV is already slow, but models with lower sticker prices than inferior ICE vehicles, and legitimate competition to Tesla, are being released, in addition to much lower operating costs, and future revenue potential from V2G (or robotaxi). There will be no more investment in new ICE vehicle performance or capacity, even in US.

There have been significant IRA related announcements around EV production in US mostly from colonies. Part of the attractiveness for US/NA production is this tax credit. If the US is trying to kill EV market both by eliminating this tax credit, and not investing in charging infrastructure, then the US becomes a shithole country for investment and very high cost production.

This is one of many job destroying, and deficit/debt balooning, measures that are intended, and will significantly impair/collapse US economy such that mid terms GOP will be voted out. The biggest collapsing intent is a war on Iran, which risks high spike in oil prices, that are ironically good for EVs, but they will need to be imported if US investment is discouraged.

Geopolitical headwinds with colonies are global warming, Israel supremacy, and colonial brainwashing to pay more for war on Russia with ambition of cutting off colonial imports from Russia, and increase tributes to US. Biden/Blinken were masterful at pretending to be pro-human, while achieving the above destruction. Geopolitical alliances with US are likely to be much weaker under Trump, though Trump humanizing media promises that every disrespectful order he gives every country will be executed with enthusiasm.

That said, a carbon tax (with dividend paid to residents) is much better than an EV credit. Emissions are based on miles driven. Many alternatives to an EV purchase are available to reduce that number.

DNC did a bad job in singling out grocery for greedflation. By far the biggest greedflation influence was insurance. They did use global warming as a “marketing ploy” for cost increases though. Basically, insurance is 2 separate businesses. 1. getting more premiums than payouts + administration costs. 2. A bond investment fund.

High interest rates above inflation for so long, meant big payoffs for high premium hikes. It’s ok if it means customers refuse, because they get to keep previous premiums when they do. Get to cut sales expenses in trying to get new business, and just harvest that sweet cash in order to invest in their bond fund.

The major CPI component that was sticky, and let Republican Fed Chairman keep rates high to slow economy down, was these insurance premiums.

There is also “constitutional convention” path to “a better union” (revoking current government). Secession when threatened by TX gets an ok vibe, but the “right wing states rights” gang sees invading California as completely hinged response, if they suggest it.

his actual quote is “reality has a liberal bias”. Liberal used to be inclusive of anti-war, and included non-suicidal respect for Russia.

very sweet take. Aliens is actually about corporate greed is “game over man”, and we need to nuke it from orbit. Forced pregnancy and AI are still just distractions for the corporate greed.

I get the joke. Only real Americans want stupid wars. Intelligence services must program you for more wars, and punish you for not being stupid as well. That is very important criteria to be a real American. But good luck on making the german nazi 3 the only right 3.

As Stephen Colbert used to say, reality has a Russian bias. That “biolabs are pure awesomeness” is a strange hill to want to die on. Nevermind that Americans need to instigate/perpetuate a war on Russia to be happy, and then after losing, need to spend even more on military to catch up.

The complete investment of your identity in US disinformation propaganda is exactly why your government is shit, and just got shittier. Tulsi is a ray of hope to be less shit.

She is the only congress critter I still have respect for. Omar saying the children of Ukraine’s best interests are to be under nazi rulership instigating a war on Russia is disqualifying as “a good person”.

Tulsi, has so far demonstrated being a good person. May be impossible to support Trump and be consistent with that, unless it is to influence Trump, who’s going to be out golfing anyway.

Careful… someone with my religion used to own your house. Would be anti-semitic of you to suggest I can’t take it.

I like Tulsi. She too would have been a 2 term president if allowed to win primaries. It is the first time in US history that a cabinet includes anti-war people, and she has one of the most important jobs. Sure, cabinet also includes some of the worst monsters too.

Interesting to see what happens with anti-war “claimants” when given power. Bernie and the squad supported war on Russia, ffs as DNC loyalists.

Virginia, where most of them live, was blue.

To be fair, neither was Blinken. It was all fake efforts towards a ceasefire. Fake ulitmatums of “requiring humanitarian progress” for continued unlimited free weapons.

That does mean a huge difference in “allies” reaction to Trump admin. They might know that its fake, but they get to also pretend to push for a ceasefire. Under purely naked “finish the job of genocide”, those allies can’t hide behind a process that pretends to pressure Israel, or pretends that their US relationship is constructive.

The US would do better under a military coup.

DNC helping Trump/GOP achieve Israel first rule over America is a failure of democracy.

Military rulership can implement UBI, which is also impossible under power corruption democracy. Same for global warming.

Military rulership can end the unrealistic/collapsing delusion of warmongering supremacy in a world that the US is losing, but politics maintains an illusion of “we just need to be bigger assholes” to successfully change.

Biden could help if he wasn’t DNC/Trump/Israel loyal first. He can’t be relied upon to save America by encouraging military rule.

There is also seasonal trade to US even when it grows in US.

New FDA head will just change the food pyramid to Coca Cola is a vegetable.

The liberated regions of Ukraine are those who have voted to join Russia. Only they have elections.

If Ukrainians wanted another leader like Yanukovych then they could have elected one in 2014 or 2019

Though Zelensky now claims he was lying all along, in 2019 his election platform was to reign in the nazi problem and give autonomy to Donbas as per Minsk accords.

Sure ok. Referendums in Odessa and other current Ukrainian controlled areas too. There is no way that even 10% of Crimea and Donbas would prefer current Ukrainian regime rule. A return to someone like Yanukovich would be hard to trust because of the massive betrayal he got from IMF/EU despite wanting to be closer to them.

I don’t know what your video is showing. The fact that there is, seemingly official, video surveillance could have alternate explanation. Perhaps all of the other election workers there are validating mail in ballots, and she then collects them to put in box? I don’t know anything.

Ukraine suspending elections means that they can’t win even with “motivated election rigging operatives”. Liberated regions of Ukraine have had normal local elections.
