Russians Fight Over Food in Grocery Store As Sanctions Lead To Empty Shelves

[HenryBHough]

I think you people are all on drugs, you're all crazy. You keep bringing it up. I don't care what your excuse is, it's sickening.

We keep bringing it up because we genuinely care for you and reallly, really, really do want to encourage you to seek the help you so badly need!

We understand it's futile but have this insane need to keep hope alive.

 

[HenryBHough]

No. It's not about supporting regimes. It is about realistic politics. Responsible leaders must think before acting. Democrats do not.

But that's because they're not allowed to. Treat them gently lest they be triggered.

Well, since you asked.

So, according to your grand wealth of knowledge, America is far better off today than we were in December 2020.

Got it!

What was the unemployment rate in December 2020?

what is it now?

You were asking about the source of this chart. Does it matter? What is not true, isn't that far more relevant?

Most likely, this will go "woosh" over your head. In other words, if we get enough workers to quit looking for a job, to remove themselves from the labor market, we would have ZERO UNEMPLOYMENT. Cool idea, right?

Who is talking about Obama?

Since you asked...

He waged 6 wars and indulged 12 conflicts.
He dropped some 50k bombs his last two years in office.

As far as I’m concerned, sending our troops to another country to die in war is starting a war. Specifically, I’m talking about his war in Syria. He also funded ISIS and other terrorists in Syria, provided weapons and I guess in a way it was a war against Americans, and others.

One could argue Libya was a war. But he only attacked them with air strikes, without approval from Congress.

Then there’s Iraq. Obama said he ended the war in Iraq in October 2011. Here is his announcement: President Obama Has Ended the War in Iraq

So obviously, him putting our troops back into war in Iraq constitutes starting a war. Or, conversely, you could say he lied about ending the war in Iraq in the first place.

Obama called Afghanistan “a necessary war”, and while he didn’t start it, he sent an additional 30,000 U.S. troops there on his watch.

Anything else?

Again, answer the question.

Nobody from the government is making people retire.

What is the rate?

And while your at it, what was the labor force participation in 12/20 compared to now?

As you know, the administration of President Biden has been paying people to not work.

That stopped 6 months ago.


Still no answer?

Are sanctions really working?

After initial shock, it seems that ruble is stabilizing, and with higher natural gas and oil prices, Russia is recouping their financial loses.

In other news, India is considering Russian offer to sell oil and other commodities at discounted price. They're already working on Rupee-Ruble trade settlement mechanism for Russian oil commodities.

Russian banks have already switched to the Chinese card paying system UnionPay, so banking sanctions are not effecting them as we thought it would. Beside UnionPay, China already had their alternate paying systems like AliPay, WeChat, and tens of others, that integrates in their "social credit system", that is completely "sanctions proof" and outside of the reach from the West. They built it from the ground up back in 90's, and Russia started building theirs after sanctions were imposed in 2014 over Crimea crisis.

The way we have thrown our economic might on these two countries, and some others, has lead them to basically say, "hey we cant lean on the West, lets build our own system that is sanctions proof". The more we were using sanctions against them, the more we were creating incentives for them to protect themselves by having alternative monetary structure ready to go.

It's hard to keep track of posts in different threads, both of these are related to news today...

With making deals with India and China, and requesting payments for oil in ruble, Putin is attacking petrodollrs.

If this is able to go through we could expect large drop in standard of living. Imagine the fed trying to unwind a 9 trillion dollar balance sheet, the government running 3 trillion dollar deficits, and now countries are switching payments in dollars for oil. This will cause increase interest rates and inflation. Biden is "thinking" about new sanctions, but the way is going, everything he does boomerang back to us, and hitting us harder than Russians.

Okay wanker,


What was Operation Ocean Shield?


Can you answer?

 

[Ame®icano]

No, just no.

Worthless answer from worthless poster.

Barack Obama died. After 10 years, he gets bored, and he asks God to let him go to Earth to see how his country is doing. God lets him go.
Obama walks into a bar in New York, orders a beer and asks the bartender how the country is doing, how it is developing, what problems it is solving.
The bartender is surprised:
- What problems can there be? We are a Great Empire, everything is ours.
- How is ours? And Iraq, Afghanistan?
— Yes, everything is already ours!
- And Europe, Africa, the Middle East?
The bartender takes a globe from under the counter and proudly twirls it:
— I'm telling you - we are an empire, the whole world belongs to us!
Obama, joyful, proud and satisfied, finishes his beer and says:
- Well, thank you, friend! How much is it?
Bartender:
— One ruble and twenty kopecks…

Okay wanker,

What was Operation Ocean Shield?

Can you answer?

Quite easily.

Wow, you are one desperate character. What does Ocean Shield have to do with starting wars?

Operation Ocean Shield​

Operation Ocean Shield is NATO's contribution to Operation Enduring Freedom - Horn of Africa (OEF-HOA), an anti-piracy initiative in the Indian Ocean, following the earlier Operation Allied Protector. Naval operations began on 17 August 2009 after being approved by the North Atlantic Council. They primarily involve warships from the United Kingdom and United States, though vessels from many other nations are also included. Operation Ocean Shield focuses on protecting the ships of Operation Allied Provider, which are transporting relief supplies as part of the World Food Programme's mission in the region. The initiative also helps strengthen the navies and coast guards of regional states to assist in countering pirate attacks. Additionally, China and South Korea have sent warships to participate in the activities.[2][3] The fleet of ships is on rotation and is led by a designated leadship. The role of leadship is rotated among the various countries involved.
