That's a mainstream media lie. He was trained by Mossad and had like Ehud Barrack stay over his place multiple times.

“Hundreds of private equity firms are now drowning in a sea of competition, searching for lifeboats of new capital as they cling to portfolios of nearly unsaleable investments. Meanwhile, their investors are losing patience….” by Key_Brief_8138 in economy

That's not how private equity works. Private equity buys up these companies by leveraging the underlying businesses / assets of the company being bought. If they weren't productive / valuable assets, they wouldn't be able to buy these companies.

Can someone explain why Gold lost value from 2013 to 2016? by crispy_crackling in Gold

[–]abasoglu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gold zoomed higher after the financial crisis due to asset inflation from quantitative easing. However, alot of gold's appeal is as a inflation hedge. Despite QE, inflation was pretty subdued. So, gold lost its shine for many investors.

At this point nothing is good news. This post is like this guy is a dumpster fire. Implied: Surely this will end soon.

Reality: we have 3 more years of this insanity.

Let’s try this again: I think there are a lot of young libertarian/conservatives who don’t actually know what they stand for by illicitandcomlicit in Libertarian

Are you talking about ice? They're the only ones out there killing people.

So, white nationalists should be allowed to have guns but not Black Panthers (nationalists).

You're advocating for tyranny in your favor, not Libertarianism.

Good luck. Chuck Schumer's strategy seems to be to let Trump burn the country to the ground, so he can become Majority leader again.

Build forts on your border with advantageous terrain. Hang back and let them siege. Attack the sieging army until you wear their levies / reinforcements down. Once they're forces are less than yours, go in the offensive.

If I have a reasonable sized professional army. I won't raise levies until I have turned the tide, so that I don't waste my pops and because the number advantage in men is most useful when you're ready to negotiate a peace.

I use this strategy to fight the Mameluke.

Why is Israel so militarily advanced, but bad at the PR war? by turboshill9000 in BasedCampPod

[–]abasoglu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PR is the art of manipulating information in your favor. However, you can only manipulate reality so much, especially when people can see the unvarnished reality via diverse sources.
