Everything you said is true, but still missile interception is a risky business, if not just a “pray to god you can shoot it down” event. Plus a high altitude bomber or sub can fire cruise missiles from a 1000 km away before quickly turning tail or slipping deep into the dark pacific, so interception would be difficult there are well.

Plus American interceptors out of Guam, Japan, Okinawa, Korea, or even Taiwan itself would complicate things significantly.

But you are right that Taiwan would be generally easier to defend.

However I doubt that the US has lagged behind in supersonic missile development, because if one thing, they absolutely love their weapons of war.

A war would be a shit show and Taiwan would probably be devastated either way. Either by a Chinese assault, or an American retaliation or counter assault.

It’s also concerning to think that it might just become a stalemate. The Chinese Navy would probably turn the US Navy to scrap, but at the same time how would a Chinese amphibious force fare against a city/mountainous terrain target that’s bristling every 3 meters with artillery, SAMS, tanks, anti ship launchers, AA, and Taiwanese/American soldiers?

7 gang. I write mine with a funny little line through it.

It’s not really WW2, you can just have planes, subs, or ships launch missiles from 100km out. You can’t intercept them all, or many of them for that matter.

What he said.

The EU refused the US sanctions because they also needed oil.

Though its not entirely subversive, from what I can read, it was also not to appear hypocritical with the EU demanding that the US drop the Cuban Embargo, only for them to go and make an embargo of their own.

The EU believes that the 2018 Presidential elections were rigged and not democratic, but all they did was ban arms shipments and put a travel ban on 55 government officals.

Other then that, the EU has surprisingly good diplomatic connections with Venezuela, and still does a lot of trade with them, along with sending them humanitarian aid. Further, the EU refused to implement sanctions that would harm the civilian population (IE something like the Cuban Embargo). Because of that Venezuela has remained amicable with the EU.

Venezuela has a bilateral free entry agreement with all EU countries+UK except Andorra.

Don’t forget that even those really shitty 2,000 dollars that they gave people, near instantly lowered the poverty rate by several million people as many could afford to make basic expenses and bills with the little money they received.

This was debunked in 2018, they’ve tried this stunt before.

A team of medical examiners had a wonderful time laughing at how the bones were mismatched, cut, backwards, weirdly placed with no joints, and simply a bizarre mismatch of bones from various animals.

I don’t want to believe you until you provide a source. Why should I take you at your word. What makes your word so infallible?

Is it that hard to understand.

You can’t make claims, and then when pushed simply say “Trust me bro”

Literally the first result on Google. Also for the concrete, I never said you can’t use it; I just said it’s a less preferable material as it requires more maintenance.

I also never said the garbage plywood houses that they’re throwing up will last 100+ years. But I have seen many ancient wood frames in my life, and that is extremely common in the US.

Lmao, I misread the original article which said that the firing happened “the next year, six months later in March”.

Nice latching onto that instead of engaging anything else!

Whomp whomp.

Jesus Christ, I fucking hate Joe Biden, but all I’m asking for is sources. I don’t want to hate blindly.

Ok? Everything you said is true. Why are you making it seem like I love slavery or think that slavery and it’s consequences magically disappeared?

Thanks for strawmanning my entire argument.

This entire conversation was based on the fact that you can’t cleanly divide American society as colonized and colonizer except for very niche cases, and that if you can’t make that distinction why is it a prime decider of who gets thrown in reeducation?

Thanks for the name calling though!

No, you got your bluff called and you have nothing to back up your claim with.

You keep stalling and saying that you’re not being engaged in good faith, or that everything will just be dismissed, when you have provided absolutely nothing as evidence.

If you want to simply lie, then going for the tone policing line is about as weak as you can go. I’ll use whatever tone I’d like for a person can can’t even give a single link to back up claims they pulled from their ass.

If you make claims it’s your duty to back them up and defend them. If you don’t want to, then don’t lie tk begin with.

Nice try.

So you have no sources? Stop talking out of your ass then. If it was so broadly covered, why would you need 30 minutes of research? Also why would I dispute it if the research was good?

Evidence is the burden of the accuser and the one making claims, its not my job to fact check you making shit up.

He got fired half a year after Biden said he asked for the guy to be fired. Why did they wait so long? Did they forget? If I was dead set on removing a threat, I wouldn’t wait a six months to get around to it.

Also Biden stated before that event where he “bragged” that he asked for the prosecutor to be sacked because he failed to investigate Burisma. Not because he was.

This is basic information you could find, its not that hard to google. Stop listening to talking heads on the news.

Plus the case had been shelved by the Ukrainian government in 2014. There was no active case going on, so what would be the point in axing the prosecutor?

Not at all, having lived in such housing I can tell you for a fact they require very diligent maintenance. Especially in areas that have high temperature variation such as Moscow, Minsk, or St Petersburg.

Look even at Ukraine or poorer parts of the Baltic and Belarus. Or even Russia back in the 90’s, those buildings crumbled quickly and looked like bombed out wrecks in just a few years.

Concrete is a good building material, but you can’t just leave it without maintenance, especially for buildings.

Granted that’s the true air temperature, it doesn’t take into account wind chill, water chill, humidity, or the city heat island effect.

Also that’s the average typical temperature per month and averages are a bit poor at showing the typical daily temperatures and the fluctuations throughout even the day.

What? I don’t think you understood what I said. There are millions of homes in the United States that are subject to extreme temperature changes, the North East and North Midwest commonly go from -20C in the winter to 40C in the summer. The Great Lakes region like Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Eire, and so on can easily go to -40C because of the water chill.

Plus the Central US is subject to the “desert” effect, where the daytime ground temperature is extremely high due to it being wide open plains, but then then nighttime temperature is extremely low because the ground does not hold the heat.

The Pacific Northwest can go from extremely hot summers to extremely cold and snowy winters. The climate of the US is extremely varied.

You would be surprised. The United States is the size of a continent and just the North East and North Midwest United Stated are larger then all of Europe minus Russia.
