Trump’s proposed ‘land grabs’ mean US now seen as a risk, says Munich security report
-
I gather the Arab nations are largely displeased with Trump and his propositions.
-
Absolutely true, but at least right now they aren’t going to switching from the US to the country attacking them becauss they’re afraid of the US attacking them.
“Hey, they might punch us in the face. Say, guy actively punching me in the gut, you like punching do you wanna be friends?”
It’s just such a lame take.
-
They're probably not happy about him pushing for more oil production in the US, but unless he plans on actively forcing oil companies to pump more, that's not going to be happening because they don't want their margins to be too low.
If he starts actively forcing oil companies to pump more oil, he's probably going to be offed by good ol' American lead rather than a foreign bonesaw.
Or did you mean some other reason?
-
I mostly meant his plans for Palestine.
-
Does the rich part of the Arab world care much about Palestine though? I know Iran (not arabs but still muslims) are close allies but what about Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc?

Feels like Canada is like Austria before WW2

It's fucking wild to watch the Americans fuck everything up through fascism and seeing most Canadians say the same shit the Americans were saying 4 months ago about all parties being the same and that they can't vote for the "secretly corrupt" center party and that they're voting for the overtly corrupt alt-right conservatives.
-
It's even crazier given that Canada, unlike the USA, has a viable third party in the NDP, which sits to the left of the Liberals and has some actual policies that would help people. Yet for some reason when people are being screwed by billionaires and their corporations, they turn to the right instead of the left.
-
I can't believe that the NDP get labeled as fiscally irresponsible for supporting increasing our healthcare and our standard of living, something that is PROVEN to be cheaper than a private market solution for healthcare and standard of living.
The conservatives have the reputation as the fiscally responsible ones. Our provincial conservatives just spent 660 million dollars, to get 24s of beer into grocery stores a year before the exclusive contract with the beer store expired. That's $50 per Ontario resident. How is that responsible?!?!?
-
We have to tell those who want to vote conservative not to. Carny is coming up. It's not over yet.
