Lame speech. No wonder China is eating our lunch. EU apparatchicks care about applauses and approval (abstract power), meanwhile China gets its feedback from physics and reality (real power).

Hopefully I am wrong, but I think that the window for finding some solution for the Russia - Ukraine war has closed. I think Trump was willing to broker peace, but EU/Ukraine and Putin were not. The thing is now Russia is cornered. They cannot destroy/bomb Ukraine more than they already did...

If anything, US is pulling out of the conflict with China. I am glad to see that the more realist wing in US administration is in control. Fact is that US military is made in China, if one loks closely at the supply chains. There are crucial elements (like rare earths) which China has pretty...

Recently I watched an excellent 2017 movie about Churchill (Darkest Hours) when he first became PM in 1940, and during his famous "we shall fight on the beaches" speech, his main opponent in the war cabinet, Lord Halifax, summarized it with a fantastic line. He said Churchill has "mobilized the...

This one is the most scary for me: Firstly, you can just see in her face that she is possesed by some kind of demon. Second, her opinions are trash, her reasoning is trash, her personality is trash. She filmed this conversation with his dad (who is shocked and disappointed with her) and she...

His family seems decent and loving. This kid was radicalized in school and campus, and spent his whole days on reddit and discord as confirmed by his classmates. And his own father reported him to the police and brought him in. Another case of the mind virus taking a perfectly good kid.

I think it can be prevented in the left wing politicians and media de-escalate the situation. I've seen a hint of self-reflection after the Kamala/Biden election defeat, but now they're back to the "Hitler needs to be stopped" rhetoric. Someone has to take the moral high-ground. To be clear, I...

This is nothing new to me, we have seen the same reactions from the left when Trump was almost killed a year ago. They cry so much over the killings of innocents abroad, yet they cheer when it happens at home. They are the same, just have different targets. I've made my mind that vast majority...

Something it's definitely rotten in the media complex. I understand that they don't want to pour gasoline on the fire but they had no problem stoking the fire (literally) when it came to George Floyd. It's not even conspiracy that they wanted to create chaos on the streets so that Trump was not...

Dominic Sandbrook is the man!

George Floyd got a golden plated coffin and 7 months of riots and looting. Let's see the mainstream reaction after this guy (who has multiple arrests) murdered an Ukranian girl on the train for no apparent reason. No wonder that so many were red-pilled in 2020 and 2021.

They assigned me the vibe/look of Jesse Pinkman. I got 1st percentile in conscientiousness lol. It's true that in the last couple of years post-university I just do whatever I want. No schedule, no lists, little to no planning. I'm not even capable/interested in planning a vacation. Just vibing...

That might be so, but the oil markets always spike when there's an actual (threat of) war. Check the price of oil in the weeks and months after Russia invaded Ukraine. The "nothing ever happens" razor was sharp again. We can now say that US bombing of Iran was tremendous success. No boots on...

Oil down 7% on the day lol. Markets are speaking...
