@Дмитрий Абрамович thank you for the summary above. Armenia is a Christian country being attacked by Azerbaijan, a Muslim country. That's what this boils down to. Also, Erdogan is using a proxy to attack what it perceives as a weak neighbor to extend the perception that he is recreating the Ottoman Empire?
> During his August 2019 visit to Stepanakert, the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan presented the strategic development goals set for Armenia for the next three decades. He added that he made no special provision for Nagorno-Karabakh because "Artsakh is Armenia and there is no alternative".
Is this about Nagorno-Karabakh or not at all?
Because it is Turkey, I don't think NATO will do shit. Mostly because Turkey isn't being invaded, and NATO is a defense organization run by the United States, not the Rothschilds... FFS, their fiefdom France barely participates and is being overrun by the benighted devils they tried to better through all those thankless years.
@based they aren't millionaires, per se, their households are. Pelosi's husband and kids are raking it in. Just like Biden's criminal enterprise. He's relatively clean.
I think he's less bad, he's fucking rich as shit, banged so many super models it would make our dicks rot off, and he decides at the sunset of his life to go ahead and see what he can do straighten things out on his way out.
It's always been part of his appeal to me (that and being a master troll) that he has 'fuck you' money. He can't be bought, he doesn't give a shit because at the end of the day he's set and banging Melania.
What amount of money from his operation is coming to HIM personally? What is going into corporate accounts he uses personally? What is going into the Trump Family Trust? All of these things will be reported to the IRS separately from his personal reporting.
Right now, as President, he's donating his only taxable income to charity. Everything else is bound up in a trust, or in the corp he is not a part of, for now, while President.
Yes, flat tax 10% across the board, no write-offs, everybody from top to bottom pays it, no minimums. You make 20 bucks a year, you pay 2 in taxes. You make 20 billion, you pay 2 billion in taxes.
He's not actually a God Emperor. The Congress has to go along with changing the tax code, and they do not want to do that at all. They like it complicated and byzantine.
I said to myself if Trump gets 8 years and we don't see significant cleanup, then it isn't able to be cleaned, and I'll not give a fuck about politics again. Not worth my time or frustration. I'll do what my dad said was the smart way: rip off the state for as much as you can because they aren't going to help you get rich.
If it isn't cleaned up, or on the way, after 8 years of Trump, just look out for you, your family, your community. At some point the US, despite its advantages and position, will be unable to extend and pretend. Get your house in order.
Anyway, collapse isn't imminent because the world is invested in the current world order that Britain set up and America is currently running. There's no viable alternative. And as far as hegemons go, America, like Britain before it, is largely benevolent.
The Yuan is pegged to the US Dollar, it is not an alternative world currency, and they cannot power project so cannot replace the US as world hegemon, nor does the world want China as a hegemon.
> poor ppl dont like rich guys exploiting the system to fuck them over @Secret Squirrel How is it fucking over poor people for Trump to keep more of his assets?
> I don't see how that doesn't fuck us @Mephed because we have unlimited funds, or we have the funds of the planet to spend... and we haven't figured out the limit yet.
> the tax money has to come from somewhere Temp @Secret Squirrel I agree, but Trump keeping Trump's money doesn't hurt some other guy unless he feels ENTITLED to somebody else's money, and if he does he wasn't voting Trump anyway.
But I'm immune to the kayfabe of Politics now, and I think Trump is shaking more people out of their belief that politics is real. "BUT HE JUMPED OFF THE TOP ROPE, IT HAD TO HURT THE GUY ON THE MAT!!!"
Why? It was paycheck protection money, do busywork to keep your 'vital to national security' employees employed. Who cares if they made pot holders. The point was to keep people on staff.
Depends on what college you go to, some smaller colleges are called 'practical' colleges where your subject matter is geared toward real world professional development, and not theoretical learning or expanding this mode of thought or another. Both are very valuable, but the theoretical dominates academia.
@picturepurrfect I'm not Catholic, and not anti-Catholic (maybe anti Pope), but I had it explained to me by a Catholic cousin thusly:
Mary, Mother of God - Do you believe Jesus is God? Yes. Do you believe Jesus was born to Mary? Then I hope you believe Mary is the Mother of God. It is just affirming Jesus incarnation and divinity.
Praying to any Saint (Mary included) - Do you ask a brother or sister in Christ to pray for you? Yes. Here we are fallen and corrupt, but aren't the Saints that have gone on before us more 'real' and capable of praying for us than our earthly brothers and sisters? It is just asking a 'famous' and perfected brother or sister in Christ to pray for you.
I'm satisfied with these answers. I prefer we get more united against a common enemy than pick each other apart over things that don't affect salvation.
