I guess its been two weeks, because the Trumppers forgot about the Venezuela promises.

1) No oil Contracts, big oil refused.
2) We are not running the place.
3) Drug boats still coming.

Reminds me of Mexico paying for the wall. You guys are duped again.

Promises made, promises forgotten.

Most of the time Trump just says bullshit he never is going to follow through on because it creates a buzz within his worshipful cult base. Trump also knows his cult will never complain when he doesn't follow through.

This WaPo article is unreal: they unironically mock China for not being imperialist and failing to use force to defend its interests, arguing that they're losing out to the U.S. (in Venezuela, Panama, etc.) which does precisely that.In essence the article can be summarized as: "You Chinese losers thought you could gain influence by actually building things? The only thing that actually works is bombing people."I'm not even exaggerating. The author literally writes that "China can spend all the money on infrastructure it wants... But in a crunch, it is only military force that counts."He argues that China's approach was "a colossal waste of money" because "control of infrastructure can be changed" with a US-led "change of regime" and "ownership of any asset can be overturned."His article's conclusion? "You can’t buy an empire, nor can you purchase global influence. It is only hard power that counts for anything."As cynical and brutish as the article is, it's also refreshingly honest. It is factual that China's strategy was to win over the Global South by investing in their infrastructure and development, while the U.S. maintains its influence through regime change, various forms of coercion, and the threat (or use) of force.The conclusion that it is China that should feel embarrassed by this as opposed to the U.S. is, however, completely insane. Every sane person on earth should hope that it is China's approach that ultimately prevails, for the sake of our collective future as humanity. China is ultimately trying to prove that one can prevail geopolitically without violence, by building instead of destroying: don't be like this idiot WaPo writer and root for the answer to be "no".

WTF are you babbling about? Still pissed after the great speech you didn't watch?

They likely believe it is happening. They are very gullible.
 
Are you running out of oil? We are f'ing awash in oil.
You thought they were fishing boats.
What place are we not running?
Not any oil from Venezuela, and we are not running Venezuela, and I never thought they were fishing boats.


Three strikes.

Why do we need oil from Venezuela?
Why would we run Venezuela?

I did not say we needed it, only that the PP promised it! He said it would lower prices.
 
The world is awash in oil. That is why prices have come down. Trump has nothing to do with it, but he takes credit. It is like the price of eggs. Presidents have nothing to do with it, but they are blamed when they go up and take credit when they go down. The reds made a huge deal out of egg prices when Biden was in office. He had nothing to do with a disease that wiped out a huge number of chickens. But Trumpys piled up the threads.
 
You made assertions without evidence. "Shocking"... <- For @QP! , these quotes here mean I am being sarcastic, I have to tell you deliberately because you do not understand things and have no emotional intelligence.
Says the guy, who like Trump, did not understand a 100% discount means FREE, and anything more than that, the person is being paid to take the product.

You literally demanded i explain how that math worked to you as you thought it wrong. :rofl2:

It is not that Trump does not understand simple percentages, which kids learn in the 5th grade. It is that nobody has an avenue to correct him. You know dmn well there are people around him who know better. But they obviously risk their jobs if they correct him.

Do you try to be this boring on purpose? Is incessantly posting nonsense on this board your life’s work?

I am not so sure as you think he would be able to correct himself if he understood the math at any level. But not everyone knows better as not everyone understands basic math. @Damocles did not understand it. I accept (guess) he can now that I and others have explained it to him and he will pretend he knew all along or say his response was "satire".

Some people know they can raise a price 100%, 200% etc and they might have heard 'prices are up over 100% since covid' and thus they think they can reverse that by lowering current prices 100% as they do not know the math does not work that way.

Do you think it’s possible to cite something that didn’t happen?

Give me a citation showing you were not born with green hair!
