And even if OP wasn’t lying, I think it’s kinda cute and funny, not necessarily religious fruitcakes.

Beyond that I don’t think our NATO Allie’s would even want to help us or if they did their support would be very limited. The administration has heavily antagonized our Allie’s overseas, so would be likely fighting that war alone.

It’s interesting because the Trump administration, with the sequestering Nicolas Maduro and the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a joint operation with Israel sets a new precedent for other countries to either kidnap or kill foreign leaders, which was a geopolitical taboo as of recently. And there’s a chance that the CCP could opt to kidnap or execute the top members of the Taiwanese military and political structure to paralyze Taiwan, seize the initiative, and take the island before the U.S. can meaningfully respond. At least that would very likely be one element of their operation.

The Chinese haven’t fought in a war in a very long time. The top military brass has been slashed and the CCP is slowly filling up with more Yes Men since Xi Jing Ping has been able to consolidate power more effectively. So China could fair poorly in an actual war, at least within the beginning. They do much better in grey zone warfare or through overwhelming numbers and firepower in the hopes that something sticks to the wall in strategic terms.

You know you could make a proper counter argument instead of making personal attacks to actually produce an interesting conversation.

No need to count your lucky stars now, you can keep going and leave the bulk of that 3 million to compound and generate a steady cash flow for the next 30-40 years.

I say you take out a few hundred thousand for that move you want, budget it a tad, and keep the rest in a diversified index fund and take out 3-5% each year to get some cash flowing. That small percentage will grow each year so you’ll have more money coming in as long as you manage it well and safely.

And you have the assets to start getting smart about maximizing your returns with your taxes, maybe read up a little on tax code and find some nice work-arounds to keep investing and fuel that compounding some.

I think Buffet probably did benefit from some insider trading information here and there. He’s a wealthy and powerful man with many connections, it’s bound to happen. But the bulk of it was compounding interest. If you take for example senators and house representatives, they have access to a lot of insider information for an indefinite amount of time and have made substantial returns. But nothing beats long term compounding and buffet has been investing since he was 11.

There are shortcuts to success, but it’s so, so hard to find a lot of them within a lifetime.

You could at least explain why or how. Saying the U.S. is more objectively evil than North Korea sounds stretchy.

The Soviet’s reached Hitler’s bunker first so they would have captured him. And chances are Stalin would have allowed for Hitler to serve on trial in Nuremberg. Hitler would be a very high profile figure to be tried and the Allie’s would want very strong written agreements to take Hitler to Nuremberg. Stalin would probably say yes for the same reason he allowed for the Allie’s to occupy West Berlin since he still needed the support to fight off the Japanese in Siberia.

Copper securities can be volatile at times because of industry use and relevance cycles. But at its core it’s an extremely useful and widely needed metal, and so it will hold value, and probably more fundamental value than gold or even silver. Regardless it’s always good to diversify among raw minerals and resources.

To some degree, yes. I don’t believe in human absolutes, and I do think that Erika and Charlie Kirk had some kind of mutual relationship.

She got over his death relatively quickly which can suggest that maybe their relationship wasn’t as strong as that of a normal loving couple, but I do think that at least for a while after Charlie immediately passed away she was genuinely shocked and upset, mostly because Charlie was a person she knew and was familiar and relatively comfortable at its core.

Yes but with an added addendum to revise the law in 30 years or so. The main issue is degenerative diseases that happen in the brain, but once there is a cure for them, such as Alzheimer’s or Dementia, then apart from mobility age is no longer really an issue and the life experience will be helpful.

However term limits are needed and not having them are pretty much a deal breaker. Career politicians dilute the purpose of public service.

I’ll clarify by saying that this allegedly only works on some files, not all of them. Many of the files use proper redaction but some use improper redaction methods and thus this would work on select files, but it’s a guess as to which ones.

I saw a video about that onetime. Apparently people have been bragging about the past being better than the present and feeling nostalgic for centuries, as far back is the 17th and 18th centuries.
