Don't complain about Israeli settlements then.

When the US taxpayer doesn't pay for them, I'll stop.

If you want to pay for them, it's your money, do what you want

We don't pay for them. We give a gift certificate for mostly aerospace equipment. F-35s don't really play a role in reoccupying squatter's land.

The $4B is nothing compared to the budget, but it still gets a disproportionate amount of attention. Certainly these days with Ukraine, which is what, 3-4 decades of Lockheed-Martin gift certificates in one year - and much of it, unlike Israel gifts, is flat out loans and guarantees to keep the government and economy afloat

Money is a fungible commodity. If I give you 500 a month to pay for your utilities, gas, and food, that's no different than me paying your 500 a month to pay for your mortgage.

If the US simply abandoned the Middle East 20 years ago and let them work out their own shit among one another, the US would have at least 10 trillion dollars of less debt.

That's the true cost of interference. Not just our nation's moral bankruptcy, but our actual bankruptcy. The national debt doubles every 8 years. It will be over 60 trillion dollars in just 8 years. I suspect it's already over 40 trillion and the Federal reserve is just lying about it.

Is ongoing. The government has been attacking our sovereignty for a long time.

Top 10 Conspiracy Theories that Will Be Validated in 2023
In the spirit of New Year’s predictions, I will boldly assert that the same may be true of 2023’s future word of the year, “conspiracy theory.”

The role that the intel community and the Justice Department played in fomenting violence through psy-ops on Jan. 6, 2021, will be exposed.

The deadly impact of the COVID vaccines will become undeniable.

The scope of China’s control over the U.S. government will become clearer.

The true nature of David DePape’s relationship with Paul Pelosi will be revealed.

We will find out what Trump’s purloined Mar-a-Lago files really contained.

We will learn what the Democrats intend to do with Joe Biden and who will be tapped to replace him.

We will discover the truth about the U.S.–Ukrainian partnership to research and develop bioweapons.

The Left’s plans to normalize and mainstream pedophilia will come to fruition.

The World Economic Forum will lead the way in trying to turn humans into glorified Matrix-style batteries.

As the relationship between Big Tech and the spy agencies becomes clearer, we will learn that our personal devices are tracking our every move.

Patrick says

Those docs were not "purloined."

Are elections over now? Where's the $1 gas price spike? I say we mark that particular prediction as false.

EXACTLY!

This is not a war between Russia and Ukraine. It is a proxy war. If we are going to fight against Russia, Congress should declare war.

I vote no, but I don't have a vote.

Ukraine sovereignty is about as real as joe Biden as POTUS. Both Ukraine and Biden are puppets. And the woke globalists shills and sheep are eating up the puppet show and cheering for a real war in defense of ongoing puppeteering. Disgusting.

Yeah, the performance of the Russian Army is downright embarassing. Even IF Western Mercs are being employed. And especially given the almost ideal nature of the terrain, short of desert, for mechanized forces that clearly outnumber the opponents.

Has anyone ever actually WON a war without the other side surrendering? And as long as the ukraines leader won't surrender, it will slowly be demolished bit by bit until it becomes an inhabitable wasteland. Which would be horrible for the common folk but not so much for the newly created multi billionaire leader of the ukraine. The usa couldn't beat the viet cong and they weren't supported by NATO and billions of dollars of support

They stopped draining the strategic oil reserve early January 2023: https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_ending_stocks_of_crude_oil_in_the_strategic_petroleum_reserve
The oil prices are high and the DOE is waiting for a lower price to replenish it. Meanwhile, the demand is growing.

tomtomtom says

Gas prices will jump about $1 after the upcoming elections (once they stop spending the strategic reserve).

DOE is waiting for a lower price to replenish it.

I heard Rockefeller got it classified as a fossil fuel, and replenishment isn't really a thing. More likely same reason as the shipping interruptions, lack of items at the store, and for business's that has been going on for two years now. Centralization is cratering in front of our eyes.

I predict a shakeup in the Church. Question is who is smiting who. Damned Jesuits.

Bunch of predictions, some of them with timeframes like "in the next 3 months" and "by the end of this year" made by Peter Zeihan on April 7th, 2022

DhammaStep says

Bold? Okay. Billions of people will die imminently or in 2023. Japan will be sunk to the bottom of the ocean. The west coasts will be slammed by the largest tsunami ever witnessed in written history. Most SEA countries will face an extinction level event.

And no matter where you are, you'll know it's happening.

Hmmm... My prediction surely seems impossible, doesn't it?

My 1st. prediction is that most of the predictions on this thread will be proven wrong.

My 2nd. prediction is that the Island of Guam will 'tip over' just like Rep. Hank Johnson warned us it would.

But only if additional equipment and personnel deployed there!

Within five years the current Car Battery platform will be outlawed by most Governments around the world.
Unless there's a new way to make car batteries, it will spell the end of Lithium battery arrays in cars. Not to say we wont see cars with many Marine batteries.

That post predicts 100pt slash by December. Didn't happen yet.

The thread predicted SVB was only the first to go down. Signature didn't even last the weekend, and I see two more that may not last the week.

Are you intentionally attempt to misconstrue my comment above?

The one comment you latched on to, rather than look at the big picture of the thread(seems to be a habit with you, avoiding the big picture), was just made, so a hundred point rate reduction would be for this December, nine months away.

What the fuck man!?

NuttBoxer says

Is that directed at me? All I did is I read the post and the article linked in it. In the article the only place where Signature is mentioned is to state the fact that it is "plunging". Here it is, in its entirety: "Meanwhile, shares of Wall Street banking giants are falling, and regional lenders like First Republic, Signature Bank and PacWest are also plunging." Does it qualify as a prediction? Not in my book.

And then the prediction comes:

"Within the next couple of months, as the contagion brews up this channel — up to high yield, leveraged loans, across the entire ecosystem — that's when the Feds gonna have to bring out the other firehose and cut rates, probably within six to nine months," McDonald said.

So it looks like one of us can't read. Could be me. But it's not intentional for sure. More like disability.
