WSJ reports that Trump told the Europeans that Putin told him he is not ending the war/ invasion. Colour me surprised.
Europe has historically been a continent of warriors. It's not as simple as that. Most of the world would prefer to spend their money on other services instead of military believing we should be past that. Germany took on the entire world at one time. When I read Americans and others say "Ukraine should defend itself". Well. They wanted to and were prepared to do so 3 decades ago when they were prepared to go nuclear to protect itself but then a few nations, US included, told them not to and they would have their back -- The Budapest Memorandum. Can say the same as Germany who were dissuaded from arming themselves. Now at the drop of a hat they are supposed to be war ready? Irregardless of if Trump has just recently found out Putin has no desire for peace. The higher ups behind the scenes have long known this.
??? You referring to what exactly? The reason has been stated already. Maybe if the US honored their pacts and not been deadbeats.
Gas prices in Northern California or the Bay Area at some places dropped to $4.75. Trump needs to drill like he promised or open up some more poor lines! I know these things take time but gasoline prices are still way too high!
I don’t really. I think we’ve had the same weather for as long as I remember or at least , the last 50 years. I remember the last time it snowed in San Jose… It was Thursday February 5th , 1976. We had a snowball fight at school and one kid got in trouble for decking the teacher in the face. How funny… Come to think of it, California was in a drought then and Jerry Brown was governor when he dated Linda Ronstadt. He was also governor again 43 years later and we were still in a drought. Jerry actually served as governor for 16 years or twice from 1975 to 1983 and 2011 to 2019. Some things never change.
@Quakes05 There's climate change and then there's hysteria. It's one thing to argue there are problems due to climate change and another thing to argue it's ending the world as we know it. And its not just Trump saying we need lower energy prices. Carney was saying only a couple of years ago that trillions of dollars would need to be invested into a "green" energy future. Now he wants to turn Canada into a petrol state like Venezuela or Qatar.
Gonna make it quick: -:My issue with it is that we all to be environmentally conscious but China gets ahead by not adhering to caring for the environment. - While the earth has always had different weather patterns, ages, etc, 100 years of wearher recording is a small sample size. Just think logically -- if you are gonna have over 8 Billion people extracting resources, taking oil and minerals from its core, polluting water, what do you think is going to happen? Stands to reason climate will be affected. 300 Years ago there was estimated to be less than 700 Million worldwide and no extracting from the earth at this scale.
IMO Trump has overestimated what he can achieve with his drill mantra and I must admit so have I. He talks a big game about Alaska, but nothing is happening there. I think he's in a pickle in terms of bringing energy prices down enough to counter the rising costs of living. I'm not convinced it's as feasible anymore. It will take years before any good comes of it. To make matters worse, if Israel goes to war with Iran, oil prices are going to sky rocket.
Regarding weather, at first, they called it global warming and then when that slogan didn't stick during the cold winters and blizzards, they started calling it climate change. Interestingly before the end of the California drought in early December 2022 I think it was, I recall watching a special on how one so called expert scolded people that the reason it didn't rain was because "it was our fault" and “we did this to ourselves”! I don't care if you are a left- or right-wing nut, who will listen or believe this stuff? Even if they do believe it, I don't see those same people, whomever they are , doing or changing anything for that matter, and no one ever changes a thing. Shortly after, there was a torrential downpour for the next two months filling up the reservoirs and the same thing happened the following year, so California is now no longer in drought and no one talks anymore nor do they continue to blame anyone. I'm not denying the phenomenon doesn't exist, but I don't believe the USA is solely responsible for it. I have lived in Europe, and I’ve seen the pollution but no one talks about that nor do they ever do anything about it. Also, we have no idea what 2.8 billion people in both China and India are doing and what their factories are doing to the environment. The USA and Canada are easy targets because of our transparency. At least more so compared to them.
^ No joke. The way I see it, global warming was their next scam to replace the Cold War. But George Jr won over the most boring man who ever lived, so we got the war on terror hoax. Also their tech wasn't ready to be released. Electric cars weren't ready to takeover the market back then, even though they tried.
This is the state of The Democrat Party…they’re blowing up homes, IVF clinics, and Teslas—executing CEOs and Jews-- and having margaritas with MS-13.
Look up what happened in the early 1900s and hold on to your butt. The Democrats have been holding that back for forty years and now they're too old and frail to keep holding it together.
Pretty quiet from the antisemiti wing Jews murdered outside of an embassy. They celebrate this in Palestine. I will always stand with the jews against the Palestinian terrorist scum.
