China warns of 'worst consequences' for any country that supports Taiwan militarily

It seems you are not hearing what I am saying.

Others, in 2014, got everyone to commit to hit 2% goal by 2024. Your Trump was not in office, and had nothing to do with it, but if you want to credit him anyway, then so be it.

 

My question would be, why wait four or five years for a commitment? Ukraine was attacked in 2022! Don't put off tomorrow what could and should be done today! Do you hear what I am saying? The U.S. has it's own problems. We should not put out our money to subsidize the Socialist Programs for Germany and others. If defense is their least concern.....that's their problem. That is what Trump was pointing out.

 

Where is the response from Biden and the rest of the civilized world to such an aggressive and rude statement by China?

How about a joint statement from NATO and Pacific allied countries that there will be grave economic consequences if China attacks Taiwan?

China already half ruined the world with a bioweapon and has no consequences from that. When is somebody going to stand up to these asshats?

This is obviously a test that we seem to be failing.

 

In Germany, "Progressives," are known as, CONSERVATIVES-- in Germany, that label implies sensibility, & practicality.

Unless we want it to become common for nuclear armed powers, run by dictators, to say, "I want that, and you aren't going to stop me because I have nukes," we better take some action to deter their decisions.

 

You are more "comfortable" identifying yourself as a "racist" than "white supremacist"? Some may say, same difference in this context. But, theoretically, someone might believe "whites" are "superior" in things they value most, but still not hate others who they might consider "inferior". Like considering humans "superior" in terms of say "intelligence" to dogs but not hate dogs or be motivated to harm them. But someone who openly identifies himself as a "racist" seems to be saying I hate other people and wish them ill just because they are different than me. And I consider such people a danger to society, not just to the races they hate. This sort of lack of empathy is often associated with really sick people.

 

No by racist I mean that I recognize that there are distinct and identifiable differences between the races. Differences ranging from pigmentation to hair type to musculoskeletal structure to IQ to athleticism to brow shape to tendency towards aggrsssion and everything in between. This is not theory. This is objective, irrefutable fact.

I don’t hate other races for those differences but I also don’t believe we should ignore those differences and pretend as if they don’t exist.

I also don’t believe diversity is a strength. It is, in fact, a weakness. Homogeneity is a strength.

 

Never! Trump killed JFK and planned 9/11 and is really Hitler...

 

Yep, globalism has failed. It appears it that globalization has armed and enriched dictators all over the world.

 

Hold on? You mean to tell me that within a species there are different breeds that have different traits including shape, size, color, temperament, athleticism, personality, and intelligence?

This can't possibly be observed anywhere in nature!!!

What about dogs and cats?

Racist!

 

Sounds like a move out of Putin's Ukraine play book

 

Some dog are much more physical then others

 

The only power you have against such a an opponent is economic... Unfortunately the left shipped all our industry and production capabilities to Russia and China already... All we are is a service economy based on tangible wealth generated by generations before us. The worst we could do is pull out Starbucks and block Snapchat... How pathetic... Thanks leftists.

 

Yes. And German Shepard's are exponentially more intelligent than Chihuahuas... Is that racist to say?

 

You forgot the black dahlia murder. When Trump was 6 months old.

 

It is totally racist.

 

Mitt's problems run deeper than that. We seem to have a lot of folks calling themselves "Liberals" who are not Liberals, in fact, they are the opposite, they are Totalitarians.

Constitutional Conservatives, are supposed to be conserving our Constitutional Liberal Democracy, and now we have "Libertarians" for "Forced Face Masking Mitt."

Libertarians For Government-Mandated Face Muzzles

"Remember when the word “libertarian” had some association with the word “liberty?”"

"Robby Soave, a senior editor at the stoner libertarian magazine “Reason,” has an idea for who would be the perfect Republican candidate for President in 2024. That famous libertarian…Mitt Romney."

​

"Liberty Mitt" was the only Republican senator to oppose repealing TSA mask mandate.

You can have Mitch, we'll take Tulsi, Sinema and Manching off your hands if you want to discard them.

 

Actually Ted Cruz' dad fired the crucial shot from the Grassy Knoll.

What a load of preposterous silliness mate.. That is exactly what US Foreign policy has been doing since becomming world police .. did you not get the memo .. not notice the "Do as we say - not as we do" foreign policy.

While it was common for the US to hold the "I want that and you aren't gonig to stop me -- for various reasons" The other nations were not acting as such.. or at least not very often .. and in the case of Russia .. only when Strategic interest was under threat .. generally because of NATO .. but I digress..

Now that other nations are doing the big FU to "Do as I say - not as I do" as I have been warning for a long long time .. Karma's commin back to bite.

 

this is well known

"China warns of 'worst consequences' for any country that supports Taiwan militarily"

dictators feel emboldened to use fire and fury type comments after 4 years of Trump, if we can do it, they feel they can too, the "fake news" claims from dictators is gaining ground too

 

Some of what you say is fact and nothing to do with being racist.
Some of it are (often weak) correlations you may have observed which have less to do with race than environmental factors, but which racists have tried to make up about race.
Others fall somewhere in between, but you use a criteria (race) to lump a lot people who may not fit the generalization to either benefit from it or, alternatively, be harmed by it. If you need the best "math" mind for a job, there are better tests to tell you who is smarter in math than race! The same with any other quality, including artistic and athletic ones.

Those who try to taint a dispassionate, non-ideologically driven (one way or another, either forcibly ignoring them to fit a so-called "liberal agenda" or intentionally ignoring other factors and skewing the science to fit a "racist agenda"), understanding of the influence of any factor on some issue, do science and learning a disservice. But, at its core. "racism" is about animus and hate, not about a dispassionate search for truth and learning.

There are costs and benefits to diversity as well as homogeneity. But your last statement flies in the face of what we know from evolutionary science.

My own view: we are at still very early stages of evolution of the human species. The final stage in that evolutionary path is unknown to us. We need healthy, fair, competition for that path to take us where we are supposed to be headed. At some point, a real "uberman" may emerge from it all, and look with curiosity with arguments once raged between quite limited people about not only who was better but the factors that decided the issue. Only 2 things matter to me, in the meantime, the search for truth and beauty as the light to guide us on our path remain unhampered by all the lies and hate constructed so some dogs get more treats than others.

 

No. Racism, at its core. is about animus and hate and forcing ideologically motivated answers to a whole set of questions about the influence of different factors on different issues. It is not about a dispassionate search for truth and learning. And it (racism) is typically most popular, and resonates the most among the less intelligent and successful of the German Shepards who want to hide behind and ride the cotails of the more intelligent ones.

 

Intelligent ones? Are you suggesting non-Germanic and European people's aren't as intelligent and capable? That's racist...

 

Don't worry. After a read out of the talks between Xi and Biden by an analyst, we'll soon be at war not only with Russia but with China too.




(Sing to the tune of 'Spring is Busting Out All Over').

War is busting out all over,
from China to the Middle Sea.
It's here and there, and everywhere
as we shall shortly see.

Now chaos is my middle name,
which I am proud to say,
and for the ones not in the know
it's called the American way.
