How much grain imports, how much petrol for fishing boats?

Private jets and international investments.

The idea of a revolution has become a soothing dream.

Peaceful revolution is still a good idea but somebody has to come up with an improvement first.

Sorry but I didn’t mean it in that historic perspective and neither did OP.

It doesn’t matter what people say, it’s important what happens. By keeping illegal immigrants in their exploitive conditions, and by e.g. not prosecuting those who employ illegal immigrants, the Democrats created the current situation, together with the Republicans. The Democrats are complicit.

Nevertheless, those are interesting links.

Would the USA go to war against China to prevent China from becoming the hegemon? If so, what is the strategic relevancy of Iran for China? At least right now Iran is an important source for oil but that could also come from Russia.

Get some counceling first. Seems like you could use some help communicating your needs.

If anything, she indirectly helped it by helping to drain some of the Sunnis away from Syria.

We have to disagree here. At worst they work the jobs freed by Shiite soldiers but I think many can be turned into soldiers themselves.

No: the article is long

I don’t see that in the linked article.

Overview

​With Syria under control, Iran cannot do that.

Why would Iran want Assad overthrown?

They don’t. From the western point of view: We control Syria now which prevents Iran from supplying Lebanon.

Isn’t this (or at least was) the same Russia that exported natural gas to Germany?

Yes. With the availability of Qatar gas there would be no need for Russian gas, thus lower profits for Russia.

Hasn’t the crime gone down?

Doesn’t matter.

even if all the splinters oppose that?

Of course then the dismantling can be prevented. Would you bet on unity?

IIUC

you do

Why focus on the single world government and no wars? The crucial part is the nondiscriminatory environment and the other startrek values.

they claim socialism is bad

They mean compassion for the out-groups.

We want the federation and we are getting the terrain empire.

Why not build the federation? If billionaires can get their city states, it should be possible to start something with those who want it and grow from there.

What team?

I didn’t understand what you were saying in your previous post.

I figured. But which part? The steps themselves or their connection?

It doesn’t, though now I know a little bit more about the distribution of the Shiites.

Have you read it all? This is the threat:

In 2014, Qods Force Chief Qassem Suleimani outlined Ali Khamenei’s strategy of toppling the Arab governments, through military insurgencies waged by Iran-backed Khomeinist militants. Explaining that Iran’s goal was to occupy "

With Syria under control, Iran cannot do that.

her first thoughts were probably not often on Syria

Not first thought but second

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar–Turkey_pipeline

Syria was allied with Russia and opposed the pipeline to maintain Russian influence.

Merkel was outplayed because the industry that needs the gas is moving abroad. She wanted both pipelines and now there are none.

I suppose many on the German Left would be even more brave and generous, and perhaps their time in the chancellery will come.

She was not brave. The increase in crime is used to introduce the Palantir surveillance state. The culturally split society will be unable to oppose the dismantling of the welfare state. Using left policies to achieve right objectives.

Look closely why Iran has an Islamic regime. There will never be a left party in power in Germany.

Upvoted because it is true by design.

I don’t understand it. What is meant by incident?

Stories about the Russian economy argue that Russia will be broke soon because they have to pay high wages in the arms industries. Are they wrong and they are exploiting their workers?

But wages are usually a fraction of the costs. Amunition and even weapon systems have to be built in an automated way. Wages should’t be the issue.

Russia’s military spending reached €130 billion in 2024

The EU’s €800 billion ReArm Europe plan, for instance, “will be too small, if equipment is bought at current high prices,

In other words, we are ripped off.

Or we are not efficient anymore. This is the main problem, not a lag in spending.

Or you start being a ‘man’ or rather human, and create the life that you want.

If you see yourself as human resource, you are not worth more than that commodity and that value is all you have. Instead, meet other people and start creating.

Do you know about Ukrainian soldiers in Africa and Syria? Your country is very close to becoming part of those people like these.

25 downvotes, no upvotes?

Downvotes don’t change the past and the fact that Democrats enabled slavery.

Which means the pay has to rise even more.

My guess is that this is a Peter Thiel move and robot companies are almost ready to deploy their farm helpers.

Pay even more. Just shows you the extend of the exploitation.

OP meant liberal Democrats.
