Trump tells Zelensky 'make a deal or we're out' in angry White House meeting
-
give them to EU or china instead.
-
Tariffs need someone to collect them. And sales tax is very much the IRS. It's not automated just because they itemized your receipt.
-
Of course he has. That was the whole point. When he didn't fall in line with the plan, Trump and Vance threw a tantrum. Zelenaky will not just accept peace at any price, he's acting in the best interests of his country and I do not blame the man for it.
-
The NATO strategy reacted by placing the ARF there + placing some Polish high readiness forces there.
Artillery shell production is an issue,but has been massively expanded during the last year, so has been the production of other ammo- the issue with Ukraine is more the fact that they do not use NATO standards and that there are a multitude of systems in use.But art. ammo also is an issue for the Russian armed forces,so at least in that direction it basically equals out.

Well, they might just bring back the pinkertons for that
-
NATO is still usefull as a framework for cooperation with the UK, Turkey, Canada and Norway.
-
ROFL Krasnov Trump and Vanker failed to make a deal, a bunch of losers.
-
I actually love this idea of anonymous crowdfunding by the masses. But how could we make this happen? I guess it would have to be initiated from the Ukrainian government.
-
I can already guess the excuse: "Europe started the war by not negotiating a peace deal with Russia when it came to Ukraine."
-
? I'm from the UK, I'm saying I hope we're not as overtly sleazy with our support.
-
Fun fact: Pinkerton is tanned, rested, and ready to go.
-
Holy fucking smokes. This was without a doubt the cringiest, most uncomfortable display of lack of professionalism and pure second-hand embarassment I've ever seen from a president and a vice president.
I have so much respect for Zelensky for putting up with that. What an absolute circus.
-
Even worse, look at this bullshit: https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-844166
Israel is lobbying the United States to keep Syria weak and decentralized, including by letting Russia keep its military bases there to counter Turkey's growing influence in the country, four sources familiar with the efforts said.

I mean, the framework is already in place with crypto. The silk road ran for years and facilitated enormous amounts of illegal activity, and in the end who got in trouble? Like one fucking guy.
It's honestly no different than a bookie. You facilitate the transactions and keep a portion of the cut for each transaction. The key is keeping the payor, payee, and broker anonymous

I mostly agree, but I think the list needs Germany's excellent Leopard (2) tanks, the modern APC variants and all their industry.
Europe also has a lot of good marine yards that can make Navy vessels and submarines.
And it can drum up drone production in a rapid tempo where needed.
What's more, European Steel and metallurgy are out of the door of higher grade than the US, Russia and Chinese productions.
This is a boon to produce heavy armor quickly.So when push comes to shove Europe can no doubt ramp up a unified military industry rapidly, no need for it to take a decade, and keep finances in house.
Another factor that works against the Trump economy if he thoughtlessly pulls the plug on NATO -
yo....do republicans say this is awesome while also saying that gaza was a biden genocide? very curios as if the US pulls out, russia will destory ukraine and then probably europe.
-
its hard to believe peopel are on trumps side. also hard to believe they gave zelensky shit for not wearing a suit for some reason. while must walks around in a hat and T shirt. the maga double standard is fucking crazy.

do you not know that WE pay the tariff charges? or do you honestly believe that, example, Canada is just like "yeah we dont mind paying the 25% in our exports, we'll just cover that for you"
sorry but no. they will upcharge the export 25% to counter the tariff, then it gets sold to US for 25% more, then on the store shelf WE pay 25% more so cover the "losses"
if you dont think this is how it works. let me ask you a simple question scenario.
you have a lemonade stand. you sell for 1 dollar on the street. suddenly, someone says. hey i own this street. you have to pay me 25 cents to sell here.
do you continue to sell for 1 dollar and lose 25 cents per sale? or do you charge 1.25 to keep making the same profit?
if your answer was "id move to a different street" well then you cant comprehend a question and you are dodging it.
-
Exactly. We pay the tariffs. They don't need IRS when CBP is in charge of that.
