What happens if Ukraine is given sufficient support to start winning and Putin decides to go nuclear? I don't want Russia to win either but we also have to operate in reality.

So we'll give Ukraine just enough support to keep the meat-grinder going but not enough to win the war. If Ukraine looks like winning at any point, Putin may escalate to tactical nuclear and we can't risk that. So after a couple m

Nope, seriously...do your own research.

We all know how this goes...you'll only accept partisan, left-wing "news" orgs claiming they are "objective", whilst these same orgs consistently ignore anything that might be embarass the Dems. And so if your bias

Seriously...the information is overwhelming if you're paying attention. Do your own research.

Not remotely naive. Fairly obviously a large proportion of USAid, in particular, is nothing more than a Democrat slush fund that funnels taxpayer money into Democrat "charities" and the like. I don't think I'm the naive

Well till now it's been a piggy bank for a million political operatives, hacks and grifters so even if true it still might save the taxpayer money...

No problem. In that case the US can restore balance in the trade relationship with tariffs.

Not sure what point you are making. Are you suggesting that VAT is a tax on the tax component only?

by lazyeye 2y ago
I think Trump is advocating for reciprocity so yes if they want to then of course. Ultimately the objective is to to remove trade tariffs/taxes completely but that's not going to happen till there is an incentive for countries to

Huh...it's just a financial penalty imposed on the manufacturer that goes to the govt. Whatever labels/reasons you want to assign it is completely irrelevant.

And if you read a previous comment it effectively means imported goods are taxed twice. Both in their country of manufacture and then again in the country where they are sold. It makes sense to tax local companies with a VAT tax to fund the

Neither you or the comment I was replying to have said anything about "what the Murdochs actually do"?

Yes point taken. I did think that before posting but still thought its true in the general sense. I'm guessing that on average the people on HN are being paid alot more than the general population regardless of location.

ok but whatever is going inside your head has no relevance to me or anyone else. And the fact that you feel "threatened" maybe more related to your propensity for being influenced by ideology and the bubble you live in, than anyth

(shrugs) the majority of people voted for this. Why is their opinion of less value than yours?

by lazyeye 2y ago
The underlying thesis to a comment like this is that the majority of people are stupid and easily manipulated (not smart like you).

I think what you've said in your comment exists for the most part inside your head. You create these caricatures in your own mind in order rationalise the fact that you are, in fact, what you accuse others, a basic hater unable to acce

And many people find actual left-wing content offensive "on it's merits". Not sure what point you are making?

It might be more of a case of "if you're accustomed to left-wing bias, a balanced media feels like right-wing bias..."
