One thing we know, however. With the Chinese economy contracting, Beijing will not be able to afford the most rapid military build-up since the Second World War. Chinese leaders must see a closing window of opportunity. Their motto for the generals and admirals: Use it or lose it.

wednesday, August 17th, 2022

the news about how Liz Cheney was blown away in the Wyoming primary by Donald Trump's endorsement reminds me of the day that I switched from watching CNN to watching Fox news.

CNN began broadcasting in 1980, and I watched it obsessively throughout the 1980s, 1990s and into the 2000s.

then one day in 2007, I recall that it was a friday, someone came on and rented for half an hour about how awful President George Bush was. as I recall, most of the criticism was of the handling of the Vietnam war but it was pretty clear that this speaker didn't care about anything that bush did.

of course, this renting speaker was Donald trump. CNN let him rent on for half an hour, and then we played clips of the rent every half hour for the rest of the day.

then it was Saturday morning, and I turned on cnn, and they were still playing clips of Donald Trump's rant every half hour.

at that point, I decided that I was simply sick and tired of listening to CNN, and so I started watching Fox news.

I don't recall that Trump's rent also targeted vice President Dick Cheney, but I assume that it did.

ever since then, Liz Cheney has been getting revenge against Donald Trump most recently with the January 6th committee. however, it now appears that Donald Trump is the latest winner in the tit for yat revenge contest. so whether liz Cheney will succeed in restoring her father's honor remains to be seen.

A dictator before an 'election' might get backed into a difficult situation. It seems the US is increasing pressure at a time that would be fortuitous to increase the chances of conflict.

Wouldn't blowing up the nuclear plant hurt Russia more? It would also knock out the Ukrainian Bread Basket.

I am guessing they are using it as a spot to launch missile attacks from and stockpile munitions and the Ukrainians would not retaliate.

Luckily He doesn't judge the United States (at that time). There's always a remnant of his people. The nations (ta ethna / goyim) is a way of saying "all people" in the parable. But your point is correct, you don't go to heaven through other's sins.

Again, as I stated earlier, values mean nothing without a value giver. Most people are lost and deceived, so they say things like this. The non christians claim to be better "christians" than the christians, but they reject Christ! Thus, the folly is revealed.
With waves of diseased low IQ illiterates poring into the US from Latin America and other third world hellholes, America won't be able to maintain a first world infrastructure. With Mexican levels of crime, violence and disease, America is no longer the America I grew up in. The Brazil model will not apply to us because Brazil still shoots criminals--we let run wild now. A recent survey reported that 75% of Americans now live in fear of crime, even their in own homes. How does that make a America a better place to live?

It doesn't.
Latino migrants have to undergo enormous hardships to reach the American southern border, so that many of them have to be extremely intelligence and resourceful, probably much more intelligent than you.

it's also possible that they live in communities with less disease than the community that you live in.
I am very glad that not only will have I got out of the gulag when I die but that I grew up when I did - I don't want to see what the world will be like in 50 years. England and America won't exist.

The third world will make the West into the hellholes they have left.

The lights are going out.

Another depressing long term forecast for Europe. I suspect many British people will move to old Commonwealth countries like Australia, Canada, and New Zealand as the UK gradually becomes impossible to live in.

Yes economic ruin , poverty, and a myriad of infrastructure problems combined with devastated NHS and other vital services may result in such a transition, with economic and political refugees and immigrants becoming up to 35 percent of the population. This is NOT what we believed in as children singing Jerusalem. Huge change in political and economic policy is urgent to keep the UK in the top ten globally.
