tharmas··on Depleted weapons stockpiles could affect the Iran conflict
Iran will end up like Libya but it will be far worse for the world. Massive numbers of refugees. Europe will be flooded with Muslims.

tRump hates Europe but its hard to say if he would see this as a good thing.

There will be no good outcome for anyone except maybe BB.

tharmas··on Iran war wreaking havoc on shipping and air cargo, could create global delays
Exactly. Normally u would think that the Security Services would see tRump as unsuitable for President because he's compromised by a foreign power. However, the Zionists tentacles are deeply embedded within the US Govt including the CIA et al. Schumer deliberately delayed the vote until after this attack because he too is a Zionist. MAGA were deeply naive about the influence the Zionists have on US Govt departments.
tharmas··on America isn't exceptional – it's the exception
Same where i live. In the 90s there were huge cuts to balance the deficit. Then, combined with the rising cost of housing throughout the noughties and after, massive numbers of homeless in tents you never saw before.
tharmas··on From watchdogs to mouthpieces: Washington Post and the wreckage of legacy media
Don't forget the people who voted for "Get the Government off the [rich] people's back". Ronald Reagan and every subsequent government since. Neoliberalism. The rest of the Anglosphere followed suit.

It (Neoliberalism) was supposed to re-energize American Capitalism. Instead it gave birth to Rentier-Capitalism. See Brett Christophers for a more detailed analysis.

>this will soon lead to an oversupply of workers and a drop in wages

Precisely. So why are our masters still panicking about population decline and hyping the need for immigration?

tharmas··on Canada Announces Divorce from America
If Scotland had won independence and then later invited Russian bases on Scottish soil, would England see that as a threat or "Scotland is an independent nation and can do whatever it wants"?
tharmas··on How ICE knows who Minneapolis protesters are
Since the end of WW2 has their been such immigration numbers?

Also, such numbers from non-western countries post WW2?

Immigration is largely to keep the wages down. Surely you know that.

Why are you repeating neoliberal ownership propaganda?

The USA has a long history of bullying Canada, long before tRump. He's just more blatant and obvious about it.

There is such a concept of carrot and stick. If the USA wants Canada to be a "good" (in the eyes of America) neighbour then for the love of God why don't they start using a carrot instead of the stick?

tharmas··on Canada Announces Divorce from America
For the same reason that the USA would go ape-shit if Canada allowed Chinese military bases on Canadian soil.

Given the fact that tRump has threatened Canada it would be justified on Canada's part to invite those military bases but it would definitely antagonize the Americans. Would that be wise?

We're talking Real-Politick here not "how it should be".

They were not offered NATO membership. Putin hinted to Clinton he would like it. Clinton didn't respond. Came back later (after consulting with his staff) and declined the offer.

Putin is smart enough to know that Russia is in no position to be an imperialist power.

The goal of keeping Russia and Europe (Germany) apart is not a secret. Please see Zbigniew Brzezinski.

And I'd like to point out that the Soviets kept Germany divided for a justifiable reason: 27 million Russians died at the hands of Germany's imperial ambitions.

And while we are on the subject of "bullshit", the war in Ukraine did NOT start in Feb 2022. It started long before that.

tharmas··on European lawmakers suspend U.S. trade deal
Not only that it was a USA project. The goal is to keep Europe and Russia apart.
tharmas··on Canada Announces Divorce from America
Youre saying dont do a Ukraine?
tharmas··on Canada Announces Divorce from America
Don't encroach NATO on their doorstep. Bring Russia into NATO.

USA strategy has been to keep Russia and Germany separated. They fear that combo as a potential rival superpower.

The division of Europe from Russia is exactly what the Americans want.

tharmas··on 'This is sell America' – US dollar tumbles as globe flees US assets
tRump is a bully. Bullies don't pick on those who are strong enough to fight back. That's why he doesn't say anything about Russia or China. If Russia was in the position it was in the early to mid nineties tRump would very much be bashing Russia.

The Europeans and Canada should take note.

tharmas··on 'This is sell America' – US dollar tumbles as globe flees US assets
There are two things Canada is guilty of. 1) it spent far too little on its military 2) it trusted the Americans far too much by tying its economy so deeply with the USA.

If you subtract the oil purchased by the USA, Canada has a trade surplus with the USA. A trade surplus that's mostly comprised of finished goods. Canada sells raw materials to the USA and buys finished goods from them.

It is the United States that is the fake friend.

That's what a bully does: beat up on EASY targets.
tharmas··on Scott Adams has died
He "mainlined" Rupert Murdoch's Fox News. That is pure poison for the soul.
tharmas··on Presidential Immunity in the United States
Just wait til America is ruled by someone with high intelligence AND tRump's guile.

Fixes: for the love of God, fixed terms for Supreme Court nominees. No?

Do the EU Elite and the Democrats still think that its Putin who is the Evil One?

tharmas··on Statement from Jerome Powell
No matter who u vote for u always get a Neocon. - George Carlin

...and a neoliberal.

tharmas··on Statement from Jerome Powell
All true but what about his proposal to increase defense spending by a Whopping $500 Billion?

Are his supporters 'down' with that?

tharmas··on Minneapolis driver shot and killed by ICE
Who can bring charges in this instance?

Even if there is a perceived slim chance of success I still think charges should be brought forward. At the very least it might make some of these psychopaths hesitate to do the same. Maybe. And while they are at it maybe an investigation that produces names on who ordered these guys to act so brazen.

If you cant nail the guy who did this go after those who are above in rank. Maybe there's a "paper trail" on giving orders to do such thing?

People have to fight back or this lady definitely wont be the last.

tharmas··on German president says US is destroying world order
It's the Elites that are the problem. Yes, there is a sizeable "mob" who are brainwashed by the Elites into being ugly too.

The Elites call the shots. So if America is behaving in an ugly way the blame lies almost exclusively with them.

tharmas··on Jensen: 'We've done our country a great disservice' by offshoring
Sure, like the dot com bubble it will burst. But like the internet, AI is here to stay. The real bottleneck is electricity supply. CEO of Microsoft has even said, we have the chips but not the electricity to power them. The chips are sitting idle.
tharmas··on Jensen: 'We've done our country a great disservice' by offshoring
The $US as world's reserve currency played a big part in why manufacturing was offshored. As manufacturing processes mature they move to the periphery. Because of the reserve currency status of the $US, this periphery meant outside the United States.

The periphery got the jobs and the US Elite got the $$$'s. What should've happened though was the Elites should've invested their cash into in technologies. Sure they did to some extent (NVIDIA is an example) but mostly what they did was pile their money into fixed assets, hence the inflation (e.g. housing) we have today.

The Blame lies with the Investment class elites, the Bankers, and the Donor Controlled politicians. Washington D.C. (Donor Controlled).

tharmas··on Venezuela's interim government says it is united behind Maduro
My apologies. You did address that the tRump admin doesn't care about the people of Venezuela.
tharmas··on Venezuela's interim government says it is united behind Maduro
>Please don't ask a question, then follow immediately with your opinion (showing your question was meaningless rhetoric)

You're right.

tharmas··on Venezuela's interim government says it is united behind Maduro
Your right.
tharmas··on Venezuela's interim government says it is united behind Maduro
Do u think the tRump administration did this to benefit the Venezuelan people?

They dont give a damn about the Venezuelan people. They want the oil sold cheap and in $US and the minerals. Venezuelans will get nothing out of this. Nothing.
