I remember a video about an immigration lawyer, who also immigrated from Mexico, who said Trump was only going to go after the criminals. Therefore business would be great for her. I really want to see a follow-up.

??? Iran can shoot missiles at any ship in the strait, Oman water or not. That’s war for you.

In any case, it’s insurance companies that say ships have lost insurance, and shipping companies are not willing to take the chance.

Quick fix isn’t going to fill up our gas tanks with coal tomorrow. So his Ebike during this oil crisis is fine. We can break this down. Ok I’ve explained things but you seem intent on combining everything together so ciao.

Notice the part how this is about an oil crisis?

Not much comes from oil. It’s mostly coal, ng, hydro, nuclear, wind, etc. We could have a fuel (gasoline/oil) crisis and he will still laugh.

Plus, an ebike is ridiculously more efficient per unit energy. Any macro thing you’re trying to get at is solved by ebikes.

Ohh biker.

DEI is everything I don’t like. Same as woke.

This was when he broke his leg. Probably still against the rules.

This is why no fault divorce is a good thing (I have no idea about UK law, I’m assuming.)

What’s the best option after satellite.

Tldr aluminum from burning up satellites is a catalyst that breaks down ozone.

So if you’re out on a farm, what’s the best option for Internet? Is 3g an option? (Either unlimited or a very large amount) Any line of sight service good?

He wants empire.

The entire article is 3 sentences long?

Russia struck Ukraine’s Kyiv region with ballistic missiles and drones on July 6, killing at least 11 people and wounding dozens on the eve of a NATO summit in Turkey. This comes as, within Russia, the war has come under growing criticism as Ukraine has ramped up strikes inside the country and Russian casualties keep growing. For FRANCE 24’s Nick Holdsworth, these deadly attacks are a ‘sign of desperation’ as Putin is realising he might not win the war.

Lol your mental gymnastics to say “don’t need Nato” is really something to behold.

so the question becomes “what’s in it for (for example) Britain.”

This was already answered. Your little soliquay doesn’t change what I already said. “countries like Spain and Britain are off fighting the war with functioning allies (yes even the small ones) and with control of the map rather than waiting for Russia to be at their doorstep.”

the existence of the Allies wasn’t defensive.

The existence of Nato is defensive. And lol we see why with what you say next. “Anything Britain does is offensive”.

Ok your comment didn’t even warrant this amount of response, so ciao.

[Slaps top of train] “You can fit so many socialists in this.”

Read: it does not matter. You know you can think about these things before they become official policy.

Sure thing I’m wrong. Just like if you came across my comments saying this years ago you would have said I was wrong. But if you want it’s because they studied it and determined that they can hold on to it. You just have to think through it.

I have no idea if that is the official policy, in any case official policy lags far after ideas come around. After Russia failed to take Ukraine in 3 days, you can rest assured discussions started pretty quickly about holding on to the Baltics. Nothing top secret about that, you can just think it through.

I see that as the 3rd goal. First is US in. Second is Europe miltiary industrial capacity. Third is day to day functioning.

You don’t just want functioning for today. You want a long lasting and strong oganization. I know everyone’s favorite thing right now is US bad (and yes there’s plenty to work on) but no, US membership is not raising risk. No one is going to invade NATO when US industry and technology is on the other side. Again, 40 years now, long term view, big stategic picture, big industrial capacity picture, you want the US in Nato.

What? The point is to take a long term view of what is successful and what is not. When you’re sitting there in retirement, what is the measure of success in your career. Success for Rutte (and Nato) is not some organizational shuffling, it’s keeping the US.
