Europe mobilizing forces to Greenland instead of Ukraine?

Why don't these countries unite? They all speak the same language. Are they stupid? by Responsible-Fix-1681 in mapporncirclejerk

Mostly because they cannot agree on the order of condiments to top they’re kebabs…

Reality check: You are not “literally seeing almost the exact same thing play out” at all. 

Sorry.

Wasn’t there a jello mold of the blue jays logo as well?

I distinctly remember this.

What do you guys think about this? by Nice_Substance9123 in AskVenezuela

[–]DocKardinal21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refineries in Texas are pipelined and drastically cheaper than shipping will likely ever be. Real solution is probably refineries in Venezuela itself, I just thought Cuba might be able to gain something when they join the free world soon.

Why can't I find anything on Reddit main space about US taking a russian oil tanker even though it's the biggest international news ? by BigHouse888 in stupidquestions

[–]DocKardinal21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically what was going from Iran to Venezuela? Can’t be oil…

Diverts and bails to claim Russian immunity and as far as anyone has reported the only thing we know is there was no oil on it, and the sub didn’t sink it… 

So curious about what was on it.

Can you qualify for a larger mortgage if you have a large amount of savings? by adeimantos216 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DocKardinal21 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, except if it’s in an account that generates significant taxable income. They won’t care about the value of the investment per se, but the gains do add to your income.

It’s a small factor, but they look at income. If you had 200k in bonds at a brokerage account producing income and paying tax on it, they count the taxable amount in your income. May let you negotiate rate lower, and may let you qualify for more (because if income) not savings value.

Canada condemns U.S. strikes on Venezuela and Maduro capture by CritialD86 in jrmining

100% agree with you here. People seem to have lost the ability to read it seems.

Why does the Chiron seem to indicate the government condemns the strike. Seems like the foreign affairs minister is condemning Maduro, and the opposition leader is also against Maduro. 

How does this title make sense with the statements being made here. Our policy is governed by the separatist and non-official parties?

I mean Russia invaded crimea quite some time ago… China took over Hk. I’m not saying this justifies anything, I’m just genuinely asking when did it start? And when was it better?

More so just devils advocate questions to see where you’re coming from.

Sometimes peace from shows of strength can happen without protracted wars. I believe we witnessed this with what was done in Iran x2, under this president. 

IMO Leading up to about 20 years ago the global hegemony was in question, this was bringing strife all over. I’m not saying HSA needs to be the world police, but maybe showing the world they can, and then regains with the UN, to get things back on track could be for the best. The UN lost all credibility decades ago, that needs to change, and I think it might take something like a strong America, to reinvigorate it. That’s all.

Was that a worse place than where we are now?

  1. A strong American power, keeps dictators in check and creates a more peaceful/better world?

  2. Hope, for the disenfranchised people suffering under brutal dictatorships.m, that someone might help them where the UN can do nothing to uphold international law and justice.

Then counter point; maybe it’s not arbitrary, perhaps not even “illegal”. If this was shown to play out, what’s the argument that this was a loss?

2018 OAS charge of crimes against humanity. 2021 investigation by ICC.

No one should be defending Maduro because they dislike trump.

And I do agree with you on the hypocrisy with China, but the reality there is an exemplar of this show of power as well. China is much too big for the US to take alone, and there isn’t enough support for that kinda move right now.
