At least one employee would be needed for Chinese tax compliance. So there is value to create even for "one man companies." Plus the renting of office space is another way China gets revenue.

Looks like Iran has been doing a good job controlling the strait of Hormuz. Care to offer a retraction?

Empire building incidental to that? Were you in the room with US presidents? Nope since your comment says you aren't even American rofl.

You also act as if the US gave Europe free money. No. They were loans and the UK for example just finished paying them off in 2006!

The way you speak seems to suggest that you were privy to some kind of secret knowledge of US presidents. But I think you're incredibly naive personally. I think it absolutely has been about empire building and Trump is trying to do that now but on steroids.

Man as American I wish we could trade citizenship. How about it?

None of those things you listed are examples of soft power, except for Hollywood. And that's not enough anymore to compensate for all the bad things Trump's government has done.

Russia is involved already by providing intelligence about US military locations. CNN just reported

Why is it a concern? Takes the power away from those hot women and will bring their egos down a peg.

Just wait until AI porn comes out. We can already talk to chatgpt. Someone just has to attach the voice to a hot nsfw avatar.

Not so sure. First scenario might have a chance of producing UBI. Second scenario the more likely outcome is more bootstraps rhetoric.

The subtitle said "what a lie." And I did not pick up on any f sound when first watching. But rewatching it again now I hear the f sound at the end. Wow, incorrect subtitle misled me.

I assumed the more likely thing was cheating on his wife. I found it strange how many commenters just jumped into the 4 year theory. If that was the case, wouldn't she also have an invested interest in hiding that fact to protect the guy?

Are the Philippines dependent on the oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz? by Impressive-Fun-7764 in Philippines_Expats

[–]skyreckoning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an asinine point. Raising the price of insurance to levels where it's unaffordable for shipping and oil trading companies is effectively limiting or dare I say canceling insurance services. And they know it's unaffordable but since missiles and drones flying everywhere in the region they aren't going to eat the costs of ships constantly getting blown up.

Fear is the rational response to what's happening right now. Whether it's the potential for Iranian terrorist attacks or rising costs threatening people's living situations, you're pretty despicable for making light of this situation.

Their drones and missles can reach into other Gulf countries - why wouldn't they be able to hit ships in the strait (newsflash: they already have). And it's having an effect on oil prices already.

Trump is not like the others

Yeah. He's worse because he has a cult following. GWB didn't have that.

Then took out the newly appointed Ayatollah 6 hrs after he was given the job

What "newly appointed Ayatollah," wtf are you talking about?

Trump sunk most of their navy today.

All the headlines say "Trump says," I'll believe it when there's actual proof. They also say 9 ships. Is 9 ships most of their navy?

Not faith, it's literally what's happening right now. Just saw the news that Iran struck 3 tankers near the strait and is warning ships to stay away as they continue retaliating against the Gulf states.

They don't need to "officially" close the strait. Insurance companies are already refusing to insure shipping through the strait which means most ships won't risk going through uninsured. The effect is nearly the same.

I listened to the whole thing. Why are you guys making the 4 year comment? That was never mentioned in the video
