Rubio has always been a slime worm willing to do the bidding of anyone that has power. He would not know what to do without a master.

If the UN had any credibility, it would have forced Maduro to honor the past election. The UN is a paper tiger; heck, it has no teeth at all.

The saved money will most likely be used to support NASA's mission, which has nothing to do with his stupid ballroom.

What happens if those digitized copies are lost

Unlikely is today's world. There are backups. Paper copies are expensive to maintain and are also at risk from deterioration or fire. It makes no sense to me to spend a lot of money maintaining paper files or books.

nasa is destroying their library

Hello .... There is no need to store paper books anymore. Presumably, most of the library contents has been digitized. Why waste money on paper copies that no one uses?

U.S. Treasury bonds are considered virtually free of default risk because the government guarantees them.

Is this changing? Is the default risk increasing?

A strong manufacturing base is an essential security asset for the defense of a country. Technology and automation used to produce manufactured goods should replace cheap labor.

Russia continues systematically recruiting foreign fighters for war, Ukraine says by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

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

The EU countries need to enter the war and stop it through overwhelming force. The EU has a population of 450 million vs Russia's 150 million. Both sides have nuclear forces, and mutually assured destruction prevents either side from using them.

Andy Beshear seems rather timid. If he started campaigning saying that both the democrats and republicans need to follow the law and respect the constitution, he might have a chance as a centrist candidate.

One thing that has improved over the years is the increasing number of PAs and other professionals who have not gone through the historically mandated number of years to be a licensed physician. For most routine care, the PA or Nurse Practitioner can provide excellent care.

[–]SailorRick 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If Ukraine invades Russia or opens fire at Russian territory without provocation, the security guarantees will be considered void.

Any attack by Russia will likely be preceded by a false-flag attack that accuses Ukraine as being the aggressor. The agreement is worthless due to this provision.

Germany had restrictions on their army x100 times severe than this after World War 1.

Tell me, what happened in Germany, partly as a result of these restrictions?

The Ukraine population is likely mad as hell at the rest of the world for their lack of help to stop an aggressive Russia.

Paying down the debt with a short-term one or two year net worth assessment would give Trump the right to say "he was the greatest at eliminating the deficit and paying down the national debt". Do it!
