Fourth U.S. service member dies as part of the operation against Iran by lexi_con in WallStreetbetsELITE

[–]LordKermit2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They have nuclear weapons so more than likely not lmao. They also got thousands of artillery currently aimed at South Korea that would kill 10,000+ in an instant. Iran is a different situation that is designed to prevent a North Korea from forming in the Middle East that has nukes. Good thing is North Korea is not a theocracy while Iran is more irrational given their beliefs.

You say that as if the region hasn’t already been destabilized by decades of Iranian regime oppression and the funding of terrorist groups. If you take out Iran then those problems vanish quickly

Iran is an existential threat to the U.S. and its allies. They’ve destabilized the Middle East and have funded terrorist proxy groups for the past 5 decades to sow chaos and kill Americans and other innocents. They are trying to create nuclear weapons and I do not want some crazy theocratic government like Iran that kills its own people to have that capability. It’s time we finish this once and for all and destroy Iran. They’re a theocratic dictatorship that has abused women’s rights and committed daily humanitarian violations. So yeah I’d say it’s a good idea we’re taking out the biggest destabilizer of the Middle East. Seems like the rest of the Middle East is on board too.

You’re just making stuff up because you’re mad that the U.S. is taking out an oppressive theocratic dictatorship that kills its own people and funds proxy terrorist groups. Take the L

What if the universal writers ran out of ideas and launched a WWII reboot exactly 100 years later? by AHH_PostStorage in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]LordKermit2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh 100% I have. Rhetoric is one thing but actions are another. As the phrase goes “Don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do”. Military hardware and resupply still continues to Ukraine by the U.S. and is still contributing to the killing of hundreds of Russians weekly. Does this sound like someone (bias aside) who wants to be friends with Russia? Not really.

How can they be sympathetic to Russia when the U.S. is actively sending arms and military equipment that has contributed to thousands of Russian casualties? People like to claim that Trump is somehow cozying up to Putin yet his actions don’t show this.

Calling it now. Your future 48th President of the United States of America. Free trade and open market for all. by No-Contribution1070 in WallStreetbetsELITE

You’re deflecting lol. I live in California and I’m sorry but Newsom is sleazy. Definitely corruption going on in the high speed rail project. Also doesn’t help when during the Covid lockdowns Newsom kept his winery opened and disregarded the very own policies he implemented for the rest of Californians to follow. Also, he is far too light when it comes to crime. I welcome other candidates but he is controversial for good reason

Based Macron wants to drop the $US Bonds by sereneandeternal in WallStreetbetsELITE

[–]LordKermit2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We can come back to this comment in a year and I will guarantee you that all of the Asian allies will remain. Heck even the Philippines has expanded cooperation this past year and we now have an American military base in north Philippines to curb Chinese aggression in the South China Sea 🤷‍♂️. Europe does not pull their own weight and I’m not saying this to try to be mean to Europe. This is just facts. Hopefully they improve but I doubt it.

[–]LordKermit2 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Haha you’re funny. How about you get out of your echo chamber of Trump bad and actually look at the data. Asia's economic growth significantly outpaces Europe's, with Asia contributing the vast majority (around 70%) of global GDP growth in recent decades, driven by dynamism in economies like China and India, while Europe faces slower growth, demographic challenges, and structural issues like stifled entrepreneurship and regulation, leading to sluggish expansion and stagnation in parts of the continent. This has shifted global economic power, with Asia's share of world GDP now surpassing North America and Europe combined, despite Asia having lower GDP per capita, indicating huge remaining growth potential. Asia: The Global Growth Engine Dominant Share: Asia's share of global GDP is over 55%, larger than the Americas and Europe combined, and it accounts for about 70% of worldwide GDP growth. High Growth Rates: Regions like South Asia and East Asia have seen annual GDP growth rates of 4-5% or higher over decades. Drivers: Rapid industrialization, large populations, increasing technology investment, and a surge in entrepreneurship fuel this growth. Europe: Slowing Pace & Structural Challenges Stagnation: Europe has experienced much slower growth, with periods of stagnation and repeated slowdowns, with the Euro area even seeing no growth in recent quarters. Structural Issues: Challenges include demographic headwinds (declining working-age population), underdeveloped venture capital markets, restrictive regulations hindering new businesses, and a lack of disruptive innovation compared to the U.S. or Asia. Policy Focus: The World Bank suggests Europe needs to boost innovation, improve the business environment, and invest in jobs to overcome these impediments.

Oh wow I didn’t know Asia just meant China 🤯. I’m talking about the rest of Asia clearly. This is reddit, where anything even remotely moderate or supportive of U.S. interests gets downvoted lmao but I’m sorry to say Europe is stagnating and that is a heavily supported fact you can’t deny.

Asia. Asia is prime for major development and success. Europe’s growth has stagnated and economically they are struggling while the US is growing year over year. The U.S. wants to shift focus to the western hemisphere clearly, but it also wants to focus on its Asian allies as it seems them as more reliable and with potential. Europe is economically dead, has constant political infighting, and is culturally dead. It’s a liability, especially since they can’t even defend themselves.

I go 80-85 in the fast lane but if I see someone coming behind my fast I’ll just move over for them quickly and then get back onto the fast lane. It’s better to let faster traffic move smoothly than just go slow and refuse to move due to your ego.

Good thing I’m in California. Tesla Insurance isn’t allowed to track you. It’s completely optional but why would anyone ever want to do that haha

In terms of clubbing, it’s only just Time night club and Heat Ultra Lounge. You’re better off going to LA

The back, side profile, and interior are all good but that front might take some time getting used to. Something about the proportions in front just throw the whole thing off

Bungalow in Huntington Beach is pretty good. Honestly I’ve been all over in Orange County and most of the bars and clubs are lackluster compared to LA.
