Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
You don't get the irony of a Jewish guy supporting concentration camps for people who have the good sense to stay away from an experimental, barely-tested vaccine?

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
“Such people have to be– they should have the decency to remove themselves from the community, if they refuse to do that, then measures have to be taken to safeguard the community from them” “Then comes the practical question that you asked: How can we get food to them? Well, that’s actually their ...

Re: David Stockman Article Talks Sense About Potential Partition of Ukraine
Are you familiar with the work of David Stockman? Does he seem like a dummy, a crackpot, or a Putin-stooge? I read his book that came out in 1988. It somewhat speaks to his integrity that he went along with all Reagan's shenanigans and supported them. But then waits until he writes his book to tell...

Re: DIY Real Estate
I keep reading that large investment companies are buying single family homes in bulk so the companies can become large landlords and rake in the rental money. Is this true? Is this something new that wasn't happening on this scale until recently for some reason? What changed to make this more attra...

Re: West Provokes Russia to Protect Russians in Ukraine
Big surprise there. You basically can't get published in a place like the Atlantic unless you show your fealty to leftist globalists with your virtue signaling by bashing Trump.

Re: David Stockman Article Talks Sense About Potential Partition of Ukraine
Vinny, I think you said several times that you get most of your information by watching C-Span. You may not be aware of the media onslaught that was used for quite a while to convince people that Trump's election was due only to Russian collusion. Or maybe I am misremembering things myself. Does any...

Re: David Stockman Article Talks Sense About Potential Partition of Ukraine
You think a few silly unarmed people walking into the Capitol and sitting at Pelosi's desk, with no actual plans on how to do some kind of coup d'etat, is more important than leading the US possibly into World War 3 against a nuclear rival? That's an interesting perspective, but I will certainly fig...

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2022/12/david-stockman/after-the-zelensky-spectacle-let-the-partition-begin/ There are a few mentions of Trump in the article, but I'm pretty sure from other writings that Stockman is no Trump fan boy.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
That's very good news to hear that Putin is a toothless, paper tiger. I'm sure out of the goodness of his selfless heart Zelensky will be volunteering to send back most or all of the $45 billion of new aid we just sent him, since obviously he won't need it now. And I'm sure when he does it will be f...

Re: MacroVoices Financial Podcast Discusses Nuclear Energy
You're probably right. I suspect fossil fuel use will continue for quite a while still, but hopefully some of these new nuclear technologies discussed in the podcast will get refined in the interim, maybe in some countries with less regulatory burden (Japan, China, Russia?), so that when the fossil ...

Re: Libertarian Thinker Questions Why Zelensky Would Sacrifice So Many Ukrainians Just Because He Wants to Join NATO
You're still going to be ranting about Ukraine, as you're put into a truck by a CCP/DNC agent and sent to a pandemic camp :) There's more than one threat... You're free to rant about whatever you're interested in also. My interest just happens to be seeing people stop getting killed and freezing in...

Re: MacroVoices Financial Podcast Discusses Nuclear Energy
I haven't actually finished the podcast yet. I think the holdup is the environmentalists who think that nuclear is super scary, but eventually they're going to have to realize that green energy can't meet the world's needs and that nuclear is a lot better than fossil fuels, which will wind down at s...

Fantastic! Thanks! I don't know much about Jimmy Dore except that he's anti-war and anti-vaccine-mandate, which seem like two good points to me. As Kbg helpfully pointed out on another thread, we have plenty of nukes to protect ourself at our borders, so there's no need for us to extend our power ou...

MacroVoices is one of my favorite financial podcasts. This week they do a deep dive on nuclear energy, which they believe needs to provide our base load of energy at some point:

Re: Liquidate Some Roth Space to Buy Physical Gold?
Yes, I understand the idea of loading stocks up in Roth. The problem for people like me is that part of my Roth space is also my "emergency fund" space, so I keep some STT and gold in Roth as well to temper some of the volatility. That way if I have a big emergency, and stocks happen to be...

The short answer is: no. The longer answer is: no, unless we've been lied to about George Washington, and he was actually as corrupt as most of the presidents who came after him. The WMD story in Iraq didn't pass the sniff test back in 2003. This Zelensky guy doesn't pass the sniff test in 2022. I'm...

Re: West Provokes Russia to Protect Russians in Ukraine

Yet, on the other hand the government is so wickedly brilliant that it can infiltrate and control every aspect ...

Re: West Provokes Russia to Protect Russians in Ukraine
One thing that has come up several times in this discussion, and certainly in my own mind, is why do the Russians see Ukraine as uniquely important? Why didn't they make a big fuss when Estonia and Latvia, which also border Russia, joined NATO? I thought about this a bit more last night and finally ...
