    It’s fun watching the military members of this forum - who I am 100% certain trained to fight the Russians (because they have moral and political views opposite of the US and have for about 75 years) - start gargling and regurgitating Russia is our friend propaganda. Do as you’re told, guys.

    Yes, yes, sow division between western allies, push for the dissolution of NATO, Russia is the oppressed one here, Ukraine started the war. Might want to look up Neville Chamberlain and start learning from history before you doom yourself to the wrong side of it.

    It’s interesting you lecture people to learn history. 
     

    yet your side is the same people who refuse to examine the history of the Ukraine war and what led to putins decision to invade. Parroting the “Putins unprovoked invasion” line. 
     

    After we won the Cold War NATO should have been disbanded.

    Or, arguing with you is like playing chess with a pigeon. You just knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, and strut around like you won the match.

     

    There are more interesting people to converse with here. Though you are occasionally amusing. 

    Again. You have nothing to refute just insults and emotions.

    Right into personally attacking me, huh?

    I never implied I’m not on your side, whatever that is.

    The guy is literally a talking head on Russian-paid state TV.

    Standing by for ANY facts or discussion about the conflict and way forward…

    By a guy who lost his investments in Russia and now takes money from the Kremlin? That’s rich—even coming from you.

     

    by a guy with 11 posts and no evidence of said claim? very rich.

    again your side throws insults with no historical facts, content, or evidence. might be a clue that you're being deceived.

    how about you address the points mr. sachs made? any rebuttals to his claims? or just insults?

    Probably indicative of the subject. TASS may be more your jam, if that’s your criteria.

    a sign you're losing the intellectual argument is when you have nothing to offer but "well you're a putin agent" drivel

    it isn't adding anything to the conversation and very childish.

    With Putin’s forces walking back across the sovereign border in the humiliating defeat he deserves; certainly not with the POTUS using Putin’s figures and arguments in public to force “peace.” Russia can end this anytime. Putin is using Trump to achieve his ends, and you argued above in favor of that. F that.

    Uh yeah and how exactly is that going to happen?

    Ah yes, just like Putin isn’t driven to remake the Soviet Union. Your awareness of the world is suspect, but he absolutely is driven to make monopolies (now by using his influence of the executive to shut the door for any competition and steer contracts).


    Edit: “Why Nations Fail” Chapter 6 regarding Venice: creative destruction creates new players who outgrow the old money, but then change the governmental rules with their newfound influence to box out any further new money ideas. Growth and innovation stagnate.

    You have an unhealthy obsession with Russia and Putin. 

  8. monopoly? on what?

    cars? superior tesla car

    orbital internet? superior product

    spacex? superior launch platform at a cost savings from other competitors.

    elon is the richest man in the world he doesn't need more money. the dude is driven to fix problems and his resume is evidence of that.

     

     

    https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/06/05/did-spacex-really-save-taxpayers-40-billion/

    "General Hyten, [then] the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, told me last year ... the fact that we have competition now on going to space -- just for the military -- has saved them $40 billion in launch costs."

    Now, $40 billion is a big number, and it's not entirely clear how Hyten came up with it. Still, SpaceX has been launching government satellites at significant discounts to the prices charged by space companies such as Boeing (BA 0.46%), Lockheed Martin (LMT 1.12%), and Northrop Grumman (NOC 1.12%) for about a decade."

    If the Trump/GOP don’t lower the deficit then it was all a joke.  I get how they want to “increase spending at a lower rate” compared to the Dems, but this is the same nonsense they (the GOP) have done before.  If someone wants to know where I stand, look at what Massie says and I’m sure I’m close to his position.

    this. the deep state is in both sides of the political spectrum. it's why businesses contribute to both parties...why risk ever being out of influence/power based on elections?

    if the goal was to lose users and a shitload of value, then yeah it worked

    The media claimed twitter was on the verge of failure “any day”. That didn’t happen. Twitter is very successful. Let Elon cook.

  11. I think the emails aren’t the point. It’s trying to find a signal thru the noise. You actually think anyone is going to read millions of email replies?

    say what you want about Elon, but he’s not dumb. This playbook was implemented on a much smaller scale at twitter and worked. Let’s see how it plays out.
