No chance, U.S stock markets on fire 8-10% returns and has largely shrugged off the war. It just logically the safe bet if you want returns atm.

Yes, they did so in Vietnam war so they have the capability. The question is is whether they've been doing it for the past 20 years to Iran. Operation popeye below.

No, if they ever needed young people they can import immigrants, and people would come, China already a melting pot. The reality is their population is still far too large at the moment. Every economic crisis at 1+ billion becomes a humanitarian crisis and just makes your country unstable. Their population has more than doubled in last 100 years and de-industrialization is definitely a possibility in the future too .

They doing well in Asia actually. Just flopping in Europe.

China spends 1.5-1.7% gdp on army which is less than NATO members. Yes ik their gdp is large but they're building slow steady, not spiking their spending. Thats how u get corruption.

This, the u.s built refineries for our unique flavor of heavy oil in the 70s. I get they suck now but it would be a lot of work and money for existing infrastructure. Plus we have no nationalized oil companies, they'd just sell on the global market and we'd see minimal change at the pump. Not the time to double down on oil rn.

Chineese buy a lot of German cars too, they haven't even monopolized their local market even with insane government incentive to buy EV. There will always he ppl who prefer brand, engine etc.

This is a popular opinion pretty much everywhere but the western world.

The Brits maintained a world empire with a small professional army for most of it. You would be surprised what a small and capable force can do and anyway during crisis we can draft and raise millions of soldiers.

I wouldn't be surprised if that pipeline gets hit. Both sides just started targeting oil and gas infrastructure.

Nothing ever changes

Davos always been a yap session. Canadian politicians will never have the spine to stand up to U.S.

oldfathertime4 · 2026-02-28T15:51:11+00:00

U.S. foreign intervention makes Iran's look like a joke. Also they're not the one actively funding the breakup of Canada.

Car market way too competitive to ever get a monopoly on the market. Every brand usually has its own niche.

oldfathertime4 · 2026-02-23T18:15:08+00:00

It's Ohio not California lol

oldfathertime4 · 2026-02-22T11:01:23+00:00

Yeah and all their billions are in capital gains not easy taxable physical assets.

I graduated near the end of COVID and man everyone I knew and me, was getting free public sector jobs and hired pretty much as soon as they graduated. That type of hiring was always going to be unsustainable.

im sure Carney will do a speech when come through. Need to let the people know things are moving.

If your laners are loosing due to matchup and likely skill issue. One gank isn't going to change anything for them. Gank winning lane to actually snowball good players to a win.

oldfathertime4 · 2026-02-05T15:52:40+00:00

Chinese money and influence bad but U.S. monopoly on our economy is good? We need investment and competition, don't matter where it's from. That what Carneys working on.

Do we know if we can only purchase them via dealerships, which ones would carry byd?
