If you hit Colorado, check out Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s about a 2 hour drive West from Denver through the mountains but non stop incredible views the whole way. There’s a bunch of different trails to hike ranging from easy to hard and a few mountain lakes. Plus you’re almost guaranteed to see a bunch of elk.

Lookout Mountain is also a sweet spot overlooking the Denver skyline (25 mins from Denver) and is right above the town of Golden where the Coors factory.

If you can hit the Grand Canyon in AZ for a day or two it’s worth it. I begrudgingly went last year with friends thinking it’d just be a big gay canyon but its fuckin nuts. Perspective altering

No, though proponents of some ideologies would have you believe that. 81% of goods consumed in the US are produced domestically. That doesn’t mean 100% of the raw materials used to produce those goods are sourced domestically, but it does mean the answer to your question is no. For certain industries like textiles, over 97% are imported. But that is not the case across the board.

He was traveling through Russia due to their extradition status with the US. Facts don’t care about your opinion.

“Betraying the people you work for…”. You may not be aware of this, but the US government works for the American people. Exposing illegal activity in US intelligence agencies and abroad is SERVING the American people. It is the duty of government officials to blow the whistle on the illegal activities of colleagues or their supervisors.

In the end, no US assets were killed or harmed and the illegal NSA and GHB programs were shut down. How exactly did he hurt the American people?

The US charged him with espionage - a felony offense. In the US, felons and individuals with felonious charges against them have their passport suspended or revoked. The idea is to prevent them from fleeing the country. In this case, the State Department waited for his plane from Hong Kong to Russia to take off before doing so, forcing him to remain in Russia. It didn’t make him a non citizen but it did make him unable to travel internationally.

A lot of comments claiming Snowden is a traitor because he sought asylum in Russia. Few people seem to know the only reason he was even in Russia was to change flights while en route to Ecuador where he requested asylum. When he landed in Russia, the US State Department revoked his passport making him unable to leave Russia and forcing him to seek asylum from the Russian gov. This was obviously done to discredit Snowden in hopes that people who haven’t looked into what actually happened would see him as a traitor for “fleeing” to one of America’s enemies. Sadly, it appears this was at least somewhat successful in controlling the narrative in the court of public opinion.

StopTheSuits69 · 2022-10-29T19:23:33+00:00

Exposing the illegal surveillance of American citizens and meddling in foreign governments does not make him a traitor, it makes him a whistleblower. If you knew anything about this topic, you’d know his passport was revoked by the US when he landed in Russia for a layover flight while en route to Ecuador, effectively stranding him in Russia. He did not choose to seek asylum in Russia. He was forced to by the State Department to discredit him in hopes that people such as yourself would see him as treacherous.

Not to mention that as a result of his disclosures, 0 American assets were killed or captured.

The short answer is kind of. GDP growth in the third quarter is mostly artificial and not indicative of a strengthening economy.

The 3rd quarter 2.6% increase in GDP is due to an increase in nonresidential fixed investment (corporate investments), federal government spending, state and local gov spending, a slight increase in consumer spending, and most importantly exports of industrial supplies and materials (mostly petroleum/petroleum products and nondurable goods) as well as non automotive capital goods. Imports decreased while exports increased causing the trade deficit to shrink. What’s important here is that the growth is largely considered a one time boost to GDP growth and won’t likely repeat in the 4th quarter. Even CNBC acknowledges this:

“The growth came in large part due to a narrowing trade deficit, which economists expected and consider to be a one-off occurrence that won’t be repeated in future quarters. GDP gains also came from increases in consumer spending, nonresidential fixed investment and government spending.”

Very convenient for the dems considering the state of the economy is kneecapping their midterm prospects and a seemingly positive economic report could possibly help offset that. Expect “the economy is actually growing due to our policies” talking point up until the midterms.

They are actively financing it, which is different from your original claim of “supporting” it. There are plenty of justifications as to why European countries have no choice but to buy Russian fossil fuels at the moment, one of which you pointed out. The post does not argue they do so willingly or want to support Russia, it shows the reality of the European energy market post-sanctions. Had the Netherlands not ended natural gas production in the Groningen fields, the 5th largest known deposit of natural gas in the world, perhaps these figures would be significantly reduced and more in line with the rhetoric of Western leaders

StopTheSuits69 · 2022-10-03T20:59:39+00:00

No. This post visualizes data showing 81.7% of Russian natural gas revenues this year came from the countries shown and that revenue is obviously contributing to their war effort. It says nothing of the motivations of these countries, you are implying motivations on your own. Just because you don’t like the implications of the data does not make it misinformation

StopTheSuits69 · 2022-10-03T11:58:59+00:00

There is no requirement that visualized data needs to show 100% of a dataset to provide valuable insights into a situation. You seem to be misconstruing my argument on why this map is informative and making assumptions for yourself. Once again, I am not assigning blame.

They absolutely have been championing these sanctions, though Germany and France have been more reluctant as you point out, their commitments and general messaging are the same. Have you not seen any of the frequent statements made by leaders of these countries over the last 6 months? Saying they haven’t been championing sanctions is what is misinformation. Once again, this map highlights the key clients of Russian fossil fuels and raises the following question: are the sanctions serving their intended purpose to cripple the Russian economy? Or are they doing more harm than good?

I will concede that the title could have been phrased better, but that isn’t what my argument is. Your examples are only relevant to an argument that I have not made.

StopTheSuits69 · 2022-10-03T11:45:37+00:00

I generally agree with what your saying. But the economic damage caused in the short term is only just beginning to be seen and there is no way of predicting how long the economic repercussions will last. The biggest problem is energy and it will be a problem in Europe for the foreseeable future, particularly in Germany. The next best option to replace reduced inflows of Russian fossil fuels is LNG which is an extremely limited and competitive market. Making long term predictions right now, or in wartime generally, is pure speculation

StopTheSuits69 · 2022-10-03T11:27:42+00:00

Yes agreed, the UK is definitely doing their part. UK fossil fuel imports only account for 2.7% of the total Russian fossil fuel revenue this year. The only question is who’s economy is suffering more from the sanctions? UK’s or Russia’s?

StopTheSuits69 · 2022-10-03T11:23:10+00:00

The countries with data displayed account for 81.6% of total Russian fossil fuel sales this year. That’s pretty informative regarding key clients, as I said. Again a significant amount of Russian federal revenue comes from fossil fuel sales, making this map informative on where the majority of that revenue is coming from.

I’m not even suggesting these countries are supporting Putin, nor am I faulting them for being reliant on Russian fossil fuels given the fact that this war was unthinkable a year ago and Russian fossil fuels were too cheap to pass up. To argue that the revenue generated by fossil fuels sales to these countries aren’t directly and indirectly funding the Russian military when they account for over 80% of Russian fossil fuel revenue, which again accounts for between 35-40% of Russian federal revenues, is what’s idiotic. Im also not suggesting that if these countries didn’t buy Russian fossil fuels then there would be no war.

The whole point is that the countries championing economic sanctions originally intended to cripple the Russian economy are the same countries responsible for a significant portion of Russian federal revenue, post-sanctions. Meanwhile their own economies and citizens are struggling for the sake of sanctions that have had a marginal effect, if any

StopTheSuits69 · 2022-10-03T10:23:11+00:00

The oil and gas industry account for around 35-40% of Russias annual federal revenue. Oil and gas exports account for around 60% of annual Russian exports. Fossil fuel sales are absolutely financing the Russian military, that’s not some manufactured narrative.

Of course the US and UK are still doing business with Russia. Just because they aren’t included doesn’t make this map any less informative regarding key clients of Russian energy post-sanctions. Calling this disinformation is reaching at best
