Imagine marching troops in only to retreat after 18 hours of something stupid.

He doesn’t have any ideas beyond selling stuff in the ground to increasingly hostile buyers and in markets on a steady decline in face of renewables.

If we have the social programs to catch those whom tariffs and eventual embargoes affect then the reward is a country full of better quality goods.

There are many other countries worth visiting who contain a lot less people who are voting to walk over me to take my stuff.

It’s a nice gesture but I don’t even think all democrats would vote for this.

So you pass around the text or screenshots. They don’t get clicks or view metrics and you don’t become uninformed.

If they were serious about invasions they wouldn’t deliver. We’re better off with Gripens IMO but she’s an even more expensive option.
