Nations will certainly bend over backward to ensure access to strategic resources. Unfortunately for Ukraine, grain isn’t a highly demanded resource.
Finding some niche technology or product to specialize in would probably be a really good idea. They have experience with rocket engine manufacturing, though that’s not a huge market. I suppose they could always extend that to munitions manufacturing, it seems there’s always a market for that… Sigh…
So does Israel. Israel receives checks for weapons and armaments they can resell, Ukraine receives loans along with the associated debt. It’s a regional power thing for the US, treat certain friendly countries at strategic hotspots in such a way that they hold key industries or resources others have to rely on, creating a situation of mutual dependence and giving an incentive for other countries to also support them. Ukraine has Europe and NATO right beside it, so it’s much less on the priority list for the US.
It also creates a bunch of problems, specially when it involves a country that’s borderline religious neocolonialism, and doesn’t work that well against large world and regional powers that are working together like China, Russia, or even Iran.
Given how opposed to healthcare conservatives are, we should expand Medicare to all Americans, call it “Lib-Care” and allow the conservative shitbags to opt the fuck out. Let conservatives figure out their own health situation.
Conservatives are a deadly cancer of inhumanity, oppression and death. May their cure come swiftly.
My faith that this plan will succeed is a bit shaken by the other news story about the Navy today: the Navy ran out of pants.
We can’t seem to produce enough pants for our sailors and marines, but we expect to produce “thousands upon thousands” of fancy new drones? Well I do hope it all works out, but uh, I guess I’ll just keep my fingers crossed.
Wanting someone who killed in desparation in well-known and very extenuous circumstances a lighter punishment in no way condones the crime.
Many think the justice system should prioritize rehabilitation, not retribution.
Instead of fixing people, retribution just breaks them even further, making it more likely they’ll commit a crime in the future, oftentimes because they’re forced to by circumstances they find themselves in when (if) they’re finally set free.
I feel like disqualifying him would be more advantageous to the Republicans than the Democrats, since he would bite into voters that would lean conservative. What advantage would this be for the Democrats?
IIRC he bites more into the Democrat vote base, because the conservatives are voting Trump, the superior crazy. If you look at polls including him and those excluding him, Dems seem to get a bigger bump.
