- Comment on Why don;t most of us Americans only need like one foreign language to pass high school? Why not make it mandatory for like 3 or 4 languages?Would that not give us the upper hand when traveling? 4 hours ago:
Yeah, sure would be useful. But you only have so many years to teach the kids everything.
What do you prioritize down in favour of another language?
- Comment on The Iranians HAVE to realize that demanding the release of the unredacted Epstein files as a condition to re-open the strait of Hormuz is probably the strongest card they have right now... 17 hours ago:
The Biden administration had the Epstein files. If they contained damning evidence why would they not use the files against Trump after they lost the election?
And if the files are that damning to the Trmup admin what is stopping him from just keeping up dropping bombs?
Currently it’s a question on how much consessions Iran have to offer for US to stop bombing. Not what demands they can issue to not block the strait.
- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 17 hours ago:
Taxing the ultra rich is easy. Taxing them without screwing over someone else in the process is hard. They can afford the best lawyers and accountants to find loopholes and still consider it cheap.

Maybe when you turn 50.

They are about as nutritious and tasty as eating a booger.

- Comment on In WW2 we were told Hitler was a danger but not to us directly. Iraq was for WMD''s. Now Iran is for oil basically? What if the US got out of other peeps stuff and went isolationist for about 10 years 1 week ago:
China and Russia are not going to magically become isolationist just because the US does. The world would not become better or worse, just different people suffering because other nations have more time to oppress them instead of positioning against the US.

You back and hallucinating about this again? Chav is not about money. It’s about behaviour.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Uncertainty (which the war causes in the region) will cause a downward pressure on their currencies along with less oil exports as you say. But there are a lot of factors that go into the value of a currency. Their central banks could increase the interest rates for example.

How often? I do too depending on what mood I wake up in.
- Comment on I think this is the first war we aren't hiding by bad guy vs good guy scenario. So lets say the US and allies get control of the oil..how do that solve dependence on it? 1 week ago:
The US have been a net exporter of oil since 2020 something due to domestic shale oil. The meme about US starting wars to get more oil was probably valid in 2003 but not in 2026.
What they can do is try to cause a 1970s oil crisis in China, who is a net importer. China can and does invest massively in EV, solar and wind to reduce this vulnerability.
- Comment on He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates? 1 week ago:
Sit around and wait. No matter what you think will happen next election he is old and not the image of healthy living.

- Comment on Do people in countries outside the US believe our bases in their countries like terrorist cells/bases our country videws theirs? How is the reputation of our military being in a peacefull country? 2 weeks ago:
Your retort to my taco reply was that he did Venezuela and Iran.
You can figure out when he is doing a taco and when he is actually threatening a war. Greenland rhetoric was not accompanied by troop movement.

He moved metal and troops into position. He did not start moving anything towards greenland.

Trump taco. He did not move any troops or metal towards greenland. When he does not move troops he does not intend to attack, he intends to move the opinion.
My guess why he did that (greenland and threaten to not aid NATO): He wanted to push the European opinion towards “fuck you we will spend more on our own military”.
The opinion of every US administration the last decades, Obama, Biden, Trump has been that Europe should spend more on defense instead of relying on US. Trump achieves this goal by being obnoxious and hated and ironically the complete lack of diplomatic skill.

Trump clearly threatened not to come to aid of NATO countries that don’t spend the agreed % of GDP. If he did not intend to come to aid of any NATO country he would leave the alliance.

Your question makes no sense.
No, you’re not viewed as terrorists. You’re viewed as allies that will get dragged into a war on our side if we get attacked by Russia.

Have you had any new funny accusations of being a troll?
- Comment on Is there a way out of an NDA after signing? It just seems people are so affraid of breaking it 2 weeks ago:
All NDAs and all states (in both US and international meaning) are different so you will need a lawyer to tell what you can and can not do. Lawyers are expensive so you’ll have to be really keen on breaking the NDA to even figure out the consequences of doing so.
