    Trump did get cock blocked on this one. This is why right after the election there were accusations of Russian manipulation of the election. If Trump tried to do anything meaningful with Putin, it would have simply been presented as evidence of Trumps collusion with Russia to undermine the US elections which prevented the lawful election of Hillary Clinton.

    That was their right out of the box move and honestly Trump got caught unprepared on that one too.

    I might be the only guy here that has lived through it. I will not do it again. It will rip this country to pieces, as different economic and interest groups battle to try and maintain normal.

    I really think once inflation rockets past 100% per year, then we will be in a decade or longer of suffering. Suffering must happen, for when you start to shrink the money supply people will do with out a lot of things.
    The "no limit" current Fed program to Wall Street is pretty frightening.

    Legendary investor Jeremy Grantham will tell viewers this about the Fed’s policies:

    “They have the housing market, the stock market and the bond market all overpriced at the same time. And they will not be able to prevent, sooner or later, the asset prices coming back down. So we are playing with fire because we have the three great asset classes moving into bubble territory simultaneously.”

    Add in Quantitative Easing (which means Wall Street always gets it's demands) and it's just a matter of time UNLESS somebody executes some kind of course correction, and make no mistake even if we do the right thing...we are going to feel it.

    To get everyone up to speed, this is the can we've been kicking down the road ever since the first Wall Street bailout. It never actually ended.

    Threat of invasion is low....we have way too many guns per capita and enough patriot type of folks that would defend the US.

    Unfortunately we have folks internally trying to change that....everyday in different ways.

    See posts 17 and 18. No invasion needed when we have already been compromised and conquered.

    If you can’t see who funded the riots in the Summer, who released COVID and didn’t stop international travel from Wuhan, who coordinated the media narrative via investment in the media companies and health NGOs, I can’t help you. Like I said, odds learn Mandarin and evens learn Cantonese.

    Trump poked the hornet’s nest, if he was even legit, and the Murder hornets poked back…

    So I used to know a lot of Cantonese, even if only 3% of China spoke the language it was typically "free China" aka Hong Kong, Singapore and Macao. Most of my native speaking teachers spoke Cantonese. Mandarin is spoken in Taiwan, which for the moment is still free but for some reason not many martial arts teachers from Taiwan really traveled to the US, although a lot of US teachers went to Taiwan for instruction.

    One possible reason is westerners in Taiwan are almost always suspected as US intelligence officers and this was actually true in the case of Robert Smith who was one of the first westerners to study correct Chinese boxing back in the 1960s while working for the CIA in Taiwan.

    Sadly my Mandarin is very limited and has a very heavy accent. Of course with smartphones now, everyone can speak Chinese. The app that translates Chinese / Japanese characters never fails to astonish me. All those years learning kanji and kana, almost made pointless by a stupid phone.
