At this point, what matters is that the aid to Ukraine is not only back, but it is also bigger. I am guessing that the summer offensive planned by Ruzzia is going to be met with sufficient force while the attacks of oil, weapons and military targets is getting better. I would not be surprised if Ukraine pull another "IKEA delivery" to another airfield in Ruzzia. Or maybe to the fleet in the Baltic.

Fermi paradox

But the biggest reason why it matters is, it's getting closer to the time when the nukes will start flying. Seems like the West wants that to happen.

Of course, the Trump 50 days can be changed to anything else on a moment's notice, as can future shipments to Ukraine.

Cool

BA, you have opened a thread saying that nukes do not exist  Grin Grin Grin Why worry then?

Putin is still there because he understands that nukes are a weapon meant NOT to be used. An uncontrolled nuclear escalation means that 30% of the population of the world will be killed in 72 minutes, the rest in a few months.

Anything nuke like, means NATO intervention and possibly, the killing of Putin - it is not that hard to understand.

Imagine a scenario where Putin calls Iran's Ayatollah and asks why he isn't bombing Washington, Ayatollah says that he can with the right weapons from Russia, and Putin says he should attack New York too. It's idiotic statements like these from politicians that are bringing us closer to midnight. If we're at the point where Russia (with largest amount of nukes in the world) is pressed to use nukes in Ukraine (supposedly after discussions with China), whether NATO decides to end the world is irrelevant, humanity would be doomed if not then than at a later conflict (and we get our answer to the Fermi paradox). I get that Ukrainian politicians have little down side, but the rest of the world would rather not become zombies in a nuclear winter. History would not look kindly at western expansion into Ukraine that resulted in a nuclear war.



Escalation that brings your own destruction can be "imagined" - fear is free and wild - however the only realistic risk is to have a non-rational agent playing this game that decides that life is not so important after all.

All this is not left to chance, there is a whole games theory (Vonn Neuman, German BTW) that is the basis for decissions on what is the limit for the help, the sanctions and the military objectives choosen. Should the US think that any of the actors is no longer rational, the "problem" would be "solved".

Or maybe unicorns will appear and let Ukrainian soldiers ride them into a battle? Where does it say that the aid is "bigger" and bigger than what? All i could fine is 'So we’re sending some defensive weapons, and I’ve approved that,” Trump told journalists Tuesday.' is that your wishful thinking that changed some to bigger? How long before Trump pauses it again, just to test morale of Ukrainian soldiers for the 3rd time.

Glad you agree you were wrong when you said that the US was cutting the aid. Do you remember or need a quote?

You can absolutely hope for a Trump turn around - I do not blame you, it is difficult to follow the guy, as long as you clearly understand that it is your hope, not what is happening. You have difficulties with that.

Bigger in the sense that Trump is now sending aid that was not previously approved by Biden, this means that the gates have opened for the POTUS discrectionary weapons aid.

I still think the US is playing with Ruzzia and there is not de-facto difference between Trump and Biden on that. One thing is what they say, another is what they do = and that is exactly the same, sending more weapons to make sure Ruzzia bangs the head into a broken economy,

Elon Musk is rich because retards think they are too smart for God, but they still have the need to worship some entity real or imagined, so the retards like Badecker all worship Elon Musk and they give him everything because they think Elon is Jesus. This is why we need to bring back laws against idolatry and imprison all those who worship Elon Musk. People who worship Elon Musk need to have their diddlydingledickers removed.

There is something you need to understand: half of the world has an intelligence that is below average, so there is nothing you can do without counting for half of the people, so if Elon is able to account for them well... that tends to work.

Now, Elon actually sells quite expensive stuff, and money tends to run away from "retards". I would say that he is perfectly able to sell to the rich and possibly smart people.

Please note that I deeply dislike Elon because illustrated despotism does not belong in the 21st century, even if dressed as Digital Illustration.

India has a nuclear program supported by the United States to counter the Soviet power in its neighborhood,
India and US have a trade deal in 2005, but India's nuclear weapon is built on their own and US tried to bully India with sanctions when Indian government tested their nukes but they played smart and did the smiling Buddha (Pokhran test) without knowledge of other governments. That is also the reason Pakistan wanted to have a nuclear weapon as soon as possible and they built their own a couple of decades later.

There is absolutely no nuclear programme "built on their own" other than the original Manhattan Project in the US. All other programmes were copied to a large extent and countries that were interested just found the way to get their hands in the secrets of it.

It is in fact more difficult to have a proper missile programme. The technologies involved are more advanced, more difficult to master, but you do not need fissile material for them.

God made this universe in 6 days. How much work can you do in a week?

We totally don't know the power of God. We don't have a clue about some universe He might have been working on for a thousand years... or if there are thousands of them that He has been working on for a thousand years... and how many thousands of other universes He has made over what we might consider to be time unending... and if there is even 'time unending' in His ultra Heaven.

Jesus accessed (in human form) God's Heaven of Heavens. And Jesus offers to take us there when this universe is destroyed... if we only accept His offer. Otherwise we go down with the ship, staying in this universe and its forever destruction... because FOREVER is simply a tiny aspect of what God the ALMIGHTY really is and does.

Cool
That is great. But we also need to use the scientific method, and by using the scientific method, we have developed the theory of evolution. Now, do you want to be a creationist who is ill-equipped to handle problems like the problem of mirror bacteria, or do you want humanity to actually survive the threat of mirror bacteria? Because by accepting the theory of biological evolution, we will be better equipped to combat the mirror bacteria that can evolve much faster than we can.

Regards,

-Joseph Van Name Ph.D.

The Theory of Evolution totally disproves itself. How? It suggests that there are random mutations. Yet Cause and Effect shows us that there isn't any 'random'. What we call random is really a nice way of saying that we are ignorant.

Play the game with random if you want. It's part of university training. Random can exist outside of this universe. But the universe is a machine made up of loads of other machines. Machines have makers who make them according to Cause and Effect. So, there is a universe Maker. We call Him God. We call Him 'Him' because that's how He describes Himself in His book He gave us, the Bible.

There isn't any 'random'. There is only human ignorance regarding 'random'.

Cool

BA, you are not qualified to interpret science stop shaming yourself.

If there is or there's not randomness in general is an interesting philosophycal matter, but in science there are certainly many phenomena that would be classed as random. For example, a chaotic physical system is not really random, but it is highly unpredictable and can be treated as random.

Mutations fall in a similar cathegory. Like many processes, one in a millionth times the angle between the proteins will be sightly different, there may be unusual elements in the cells... A specialised biologist or a google search will give you more precise information.

Regarding your favourite mythological hero, the "Book" is actually several books, written well before and well after "Jesus life" and would use a hebrew, greek or latin word depending on which century was it written and how was it translated and later severely modified by the Conciliums, not "Him".

In other words, a bunch of guys dressed in womans clothes decided what is that "God" said. I am sure she is not happy about it  Grin

Germany made a decision to station troops in Latvia for security reasons, anticipating Russian aggression in EU countries.

My guess is that if for any reason Ruzzia makes a breakthrough, and that is in my view not likely now that US has resumed shipments, Germany will probably find an argument to take part of Ukraine under protection. Poland likely too.

In addition, Germany has placed its largest order ever of tanks.

Germany Launches Wartime Overhaul—Orders 600 Leopard Tanks and 1,000 Boxer APCs

It is not a lot of tanks, given what a high-intensity war takes, but it may be a good deterrent if they also include combined weapons.



Russia's industry is unable to compensate for the loss of tanks, and does not produce new, more advanced ones. Russia's defeat is inevitable.

Doubt about Germany, but I'm sure Poland, Hungary. Romania, and Moldova would love nothing more than to take parts of Ukraine under their complete protection.

Right, inevitable you say, now if you pinpoint the timing (so far we have between now and end of times) and define a what a defeat and a victory for Russia is, and then maybe there will be some substance in this post.

There is nothing short of a victory for Ruzzia. It is just not going to happen and it can be either because a peace that considers Ukrainian interests is achieved (so Ruzzia cannot claim a victory), Ruzzia can no longer sustain a meaningful conflict (frozen conflict) or if Ruzzia advances too much, Europe will put troops on the ground and defend Ukraine.

You do not want an independent Ukraine, so you should not care much about anyone taking part, right?
 Tongue

For now, just keep banging Ruzzias head against the wall. The more, the happier the US is.

Europe will start a war with Russia over Ukraine lol is that what's currently on the menu in Ukraine?

As Iran bombing showed, whatever happens we already know that both sides will claim victory. Even if Ukrainian government totally collapses, it'll still be sold as a victory because west successfully prevented Russia from taking over Poland, Germany, Mars...

Ukraine can only be as independent as Cuba can be. It's funny to talk about independence when the "west" currently pays for Zelenskiy's salary, Ukrainian army, teachers, pensioner etc... In fact, can you think of a more non independent country in the world? Belarus comes up, but I'm pretty sure even they have more financial independence than current Ukraine.

Isn't it hilarious how US first gave out cookies to start this whole thing, said Fuck the EU, and now forces EU to pay for this war and then also puts tariffs on EU. Do you think Trump is trying to bring ultra rights to power in Europe on purpose or is he just an idiot?

Edit: "There is nothing short of a victory for Ruzzia." i don't think this means what you think it means  Grin

Euro will not be any more at war, but simply will intervene. It would be for Ruzzia to choose to attack or not to attack NATO. Putin knows the consequence of attacking NATO.

Bur what matters to you is that there is no win for Ruzzia one way or another. Seems that the internal perpetual mind-blogging Ruzzian propaganda got so strong that even Putin started to believe his own shit - that's why we are where we are.

Re: USA announces 50% tariffs on Brazil

on 16/07/2025, 20:54:48 UTC
There will be more news like this in the media soon as this is a familiar move by the US whenever they target someone. But unfortunately, this move will not work because there is no trade deficit between the US and Brazil, nor are they Brazil's largest trading partner.

Increasing tariffs or escalating tensions will only hurt both countries, and the people of both countries will bear the full consequences.
Brazil certainly will not give in because they are a country with a trade deficit with the US, not the other way around, so they have no reason to give in to unreasonable US pressure.
Considering Brazil is part of BRICS pact as well, I am sure that whatever they were selling to USA, they could just keep on selling to Russia and China and they would still be fine ,there won't be any issues for them at all. I get that USA may want to (or more like trump) make a show out of this, like keep on doing tariffs to show the voters he is doing something, but there is absolutely nothing that could make this viable at all.

He is looking for that third term, yes it should be "not allowed" but I guarantee you, with congress, senate, supreme court and everywhere else in his pocket so that means if he tries to run for a third term, who could really stop him? Like who has the power to actually stop him? All the people that have the power, are already his republican friends, so I bet you that if he can, he will try.

Unfortunately, there is no equivalent market to US. It is just too big and uses up resources like no other system. So I would not count on an easy change for many of the products. It may be the case that China and India profit for a termporary overproduction, but most likely production in Brasil may experience a downturn.

Unless BRICS can actually put their act together, but it does not seem so. Too many different interests.

Despite Trump being... well, himself, and Musk being, in the end, a guy that is focused on his accumulation of wealth at least I would say the crypto agenda has been advanced by Trump. I am not sure he is advancing it in the right direction with that "stablecoin law" but that is a discussion for a full thread.

On Musk, he is about thinnin the state - but I would say rather selectively and certainly not on a Libertarian agenda.

Musk does not do politics for pleasure, he is ill suited for it.

I think what is going on with Musk goes beyond accumulation of wealth, to be honest. Just think about it, there are billionaires and millionaires who continue to have the steering wheel of their businesses and continue to accumulate their wealth without getting involved directly in politics. Sure, getting involved certainly accelerates the rate of accumulation since he  would turn laws on his favor, but he is already one of the wealthiest men on the planet.
My personal theory is about Elon being the kind of person who needs to constantly be the spotlight regardless what is going on in the world, he is a pathological attention seeker, unlike other billionaires who focus on increasing their fortune quietly.
Any intelligent business person whole realize that it does not matter which political party your buyers are, as long as they contribute to increase your capital, by getting involved in politics this way he was basically reduced his potential base of clients worldwide as Chinese manufacturers push forward more affordable models of electric cars.

If you think of it, why does a guy that owns enough to live 10 lives of massive luxury with nearly no limits not want to pay taxes?

My answer to that is that Trump is a modern Ilustrated Despot: he does not believe in Democracy nor participation because he sees himself as a superior being. And he may be above average sure, but that is not how the system works.

Thus, anything in politics he does will be to make sure he makes the decissions along with his billionaire's club.

As I am not yet a billionaire, I am unlikely to benefit from his policies. But anyway I live in Paxmania, so it is just the influence that I dislike.

Recently, Trump threat to Russia to stop the war (Ukraine-Russia) with in 50 days. Trump threatened them that if they cannot reach an agreement to stop the war within this period, then 100% tariffs will be imposed on their products. The important thing now is how much this tariff will affect Russia. We know that since the war started, Russia has been restricted in various ways and there are also bans on the export of several of their products. If again 100% tariff is imposed on this country, will it have any effect on stopping the war?

In 2024, Russia's total trade was about $3 billion. Whereas in 2021, US imports from Russia were $29 billion. Now, if 100% trade tariffs were imposed on $3 billion trade, would Russia take it seriously ‍and stop the war?



You would need to have a look at WHAT does the US import from Ruzzia. For example, It is largely irrelevant if you put tariffs on Ruzzian oil because the market is global and someone else buys (and thanks you for the discount), if you put it on agricultural products... same, Ruzzia sells to others...

And guess what... one of the major imports are fertilisers and Trump cannot afford to have the agricultural sector of the US against him due to higher prices.

The strategy to put economic pressure is quite difficult unless you are willing to harm yourself in the process.

^^ I am afraid that even official reports are pointing to that cause. One of the pilots for whatever reason including a possible suicide or terrorist act decided to cut the fuel lines - first one and then the other - right at the moment in which it is more critical and dangerous to do so.

Cutting the fuel is nearly impossible to be done by accident The switches need to be pulled and the switched so that it cannot be done by a casual inadverted push. After the lines are cut-off, even if they are put back into the right position, the engine has already lost the momentum and it is nearly impossible to bring it back in time to avoid the accident.

So...yes, someone in the cockpit decided to crash the plane, knew how to do it and did it in a way that nobody could have then prevented the crash.

Still, I doubt Elon's party will have some success in the long term. Political duopoly being kept by both the Democrat and Republican party is strong and it would take much to convince people to give their trust to Musk as a reliable politician.


It's too early to say Elon's party will fail if we know what his real goals are. It's no coincidence that Republicans have expressed concern about Elon's new party, while Democrats seem to care little. And it's no coincidence that Elon took aim at the lawmakers who voted against Trump's spending bill.

Elon's goal is for his party to run for congressional seats in the 2026 midterm elections and win some seats. That's his goal, because once the American party wins some seats in Congress, Elon may have the opportunity to block, veto bills that he believes will harm the US economy like Trump's OBBBA bill.

Winning a few seats in Congress is not an impossible task.

It is not a impossible task, but you have keep in mind that if he serious about founding his own political party and have their own congress people candidates to run for the mid term elections then he will have all the media machinery against him, the democrat party is already critic against him and then he will have the Republican party against him as well, that means his political message will real completely on social media and Twitter/X, which he owns.

Anyways, the political scenario in the USA is already deeply controlled by their duopoly on politics, that even if Musk managed to get some seats in the congress and in the Senate, it would be quite unprecedented as nothing like that would have never been imagined to happen in the modern history of the country. Both the Democrat party and the Republican party have tightly held power and elections in the lastest decades, they are not willing to allow that to change any time soon.

The other side of that is, the people might recognize the American Party as the thing that it might be... a Libertarian Party with power. In that case, we could easily see a complete change in the whole government... back to the freedom government that it used to be.

Cool

It is NOT a libertarian party, it is a party created by a Billionaire that happens to be very concerned about his business and is willing to defend them. Libertarians in all honesty have barely reached the critical mass to be considered. Even now that bitcoin has created a "millionaire elite", seems that is not yet enough to have the right level of influence.

The usual path of donations and lobbying in the background and even in the foreground did not work for Elon because Trump simply did not do what he said he was going to do. Betrayal is not taken well by Musk.

And there is a side effect to all this. There is a good chance that Trump will be prosecuted when (if?) he leaves the presidency. He has made a point of taking revenge on others and that usually comes back.

Thanks for Trollnews update that arrives quite a bit late. Try not to cut and paste from your farm standardised messages people in this forum can tell the difference.

https://www.politico.eu/article/the-us-resumes-some-weapon-delivery-to-ukraine/

Quote
At the beginning of July, the Pentagon halted shipments of some air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine because of worries that U.S. weapons stockpiles had fallen too low.

Quote
The United States has begun resending weapons to Ukraine, a week after the Pentagon said some deliveries should be paused, the Ukrainian president's office confirmed Thursday.

There are too many people here trying to lower Ukranian morale with news like this. You will be dissapointed to know that there is no easy win in Ukraine. Keep sending meatweaves, there are more than enough drones to greet them, but do not bet the house on anything like a surrender. At this point all Ruzzia can do is a terror campaign, which mostly sucks their resources but does not make a significant difference in the war.

If you understood that Biden never gave enough weapons in time for Ukraine to win, but just enough for it to loose slowly, then surely you must understand what Trump is doing here.

On the contrary, I do understand that they were never enough to win. Just as the US has never given then so little that they will loose.

The US could have and can still deliver enough for Ukraine to win, but it is much more profitable for the US the let Ruzzia send material, troops and huge financial reserves into a worthless war, that even in the best case will only deliver very moderate geostrategic results.

Around a million soldiers KIA or missing or severely wounded, air platforms that can no longer be build, stocpiles of Soviet tanks, oil, refineries... Putin is ok with paying the price and the Ruzzians are zombified and will not do anything to stop it. Do you think the US has not calculated any of it?

I have said it 10 or more times: There are winners in this war but Ruzzia is not one of them.

And while he cannot win the Presidency (not now anyway), he could perfectly be able to get a few key seats and achive some degre of leverage on Trumpy.

You should also rename the Strait of Aden to the "Strait of Iran" and perhaps the 4th of July to "the day of the sheep".

The OP and the respondants here share something in common: they cry a lot about what the US does, but keep very silent about their own sadistic regimes. Particularly, Iran is sponsoring terrorism while claiming that the US strikes killed children and DaRude trollfarm inmates claim while Ruzzia is attacking Ukrainian cities without any particular military objective.

I think people do know you around here by now.
