  • Joe Biden signed a bill that funds the military or supports the military of Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine. Yes, he loves war. Just because he uses others as pawns doesn't make him eligible for Nobel Peace Prize. Joe Biden is a foreign asset, a war criminal, he is compromised and intimidated. He is subordinate to US agencies and foreign lobbies. It can be argued that Joe Biden is a traitor. Biden's voting record speaks for itself.

  • That is publically, not privately. Europeans have no independent foreign policy. They have no sovereign foreign policy. They follow the US because the US pays for NATO, therefore NATO publically gets support from NATO members who benefit from US security. Context is important, and no, Germany does not support the war in Ukraine in private matters. Germany does not operate an independent foreign policy. It is actually against German interests to support the war in Ukraine. The US by itself would have no influence in Europe if not for NATO. NATO is the US control over Europe. Many Europeans are aware of this.

  • The money only accelerates their demise. It is not helpful for Ukraine. It is the opposite. If Biden really cared about the Ukrainian people, he would call up a cease fire. He wants no peace deal. He wants only war. NATO is counting on the Ukrainian nationalist to send every man to their death.

  • With or without financial aid, Ukraine will lose. It is math. Russians invaded Ukraine because the US was trying to isolate Russia from Ukraine. This means no tolerance for pro-Russian Ukrainian presidents; the coup of 2014 that overturned the democratic vote, and the subsequent declarations of independent republics in the Donbas because of the color revolution that undermined democracy. NATO afterward starting arming and training Ukrainians will promote NATO and EU membership. NATO is a US organization, and NATO foreign policy is US foreign policy. Europeans are subservient to the US for security. Most European states don't support the war in Ukraine privately, but for the sake of NATO unity, they publically support it, because the US pays for NATO defense.

  • The money isn't going to turn the tide against Russia. Ukraine has no chance of winning. It is just math. Joe Biden has no interest for the well-being of Ukraine. US prefers that Ukraine bleed Russia. This means every last Ukrainian. Biden regime knows Ukraine can't win, but that won't stop him from lying about victory, and inflating the threat from Russia. Ukraine conflict is directly a product of US foreign policy and that alone. Even European states other than the UK don't really support the war. At least, secretly. Publically, they have to.

  • This is not true at all. At best, renewables can manage a streak of 5 hours a day or 10 hours a day if lucky. I am sure you read, "This country ran on 100% renewable energy." The catch is, it is not the norm, but lucky weather. I live in Texas. Texas ran on 100% renewables for several hours. That is no reassurance when a cold snap, cloudy weather, or stagnant wind. With fossil fuels, you can adjust the supply according to forecasted demand. You can't do that with wind and solar. Batteries make a very tiny portion of the grid infrastructure as well. They're not replacing natural gas plants anytime soon. At the same time, government subsidies supplant reliable energy with unreliable energy. I am not against green energy when it is applied correctly, but you can't run an entire grid on renewables and not expect complications.

  • Doesn't matter what other central banks did or what other people did, as an economist, he must know what causes phenomenon. His failure shows he does not understand causation of inflation, whether in a Keynesian sense or classical definition of the word. That is like a car mechanic who has no idea how to fix your car, because he doesn't know what the problem is.

  • Germany will be highly reliant on other countries for their energy needs. Wind and solar are intermittent energy. With no cheap Russian piped gas, Germans would be paying higher for peaker plants and backup natural gas plants. Green energy isn't reliable for heavy industry. This is a permanent deindustrialization. Wind doesn't always work and some weeks there is extensive cloud cover. Sure, a desert would be consistent with solar because it has minimal cloud cover all year long, and you plan for that, but Germany is not ideal for that.

  • Wind and solar plants should be in areas where they make the most sense. You cannot create a resilient electrical grid with just solar and wind. Sorry, but there is no economical way to do that. Even with gas plants as back up, this is also not economical, because you need redundant power plants to fill in the gaps left by renewables. Take a look at Germany. No more cheap Russian natural gas. They shut down their nuclear power plants, and now they will have to import energy from France's nuclear power plants. Wind and solar are not reliable energy for many places in Europe and North America. Transmission lines need to built which cost a lot of money, and they are a liability that needs to be replaced every 40 years. In the US, a state like Texas does not need solar or wind. It is a state with plenty of natural gas and constant generation is necessary for profitability. Yes, Texas leads in renewables within, but it doesn't need it for energy.

  • Israel is a liability for the US. Contrary to popular thinking, an alliance can be a liability, especially such one that operates on politics, self-interest. People think China is weak because it has no allies. China does not have liabilities like the US does. It is not entangled in bilateral or organization defense pacts. Israel can do what it wants because the Israel lobby is powerful in the US. The US is a flawed democracy that has to follow and support an insignificant country by a lot of measures. Israel is protected. Ukraine is not protected. Nor do I think that is the point of US and NATO involvement in Ukraine. I think they wanted Russia to invade.

  • The problem with democrats in my view is they have a diverse constituency. You have your liberals, your socialist, democrat nationalist, progressives, and even conservative democrats that span different racial groups, classes, and cultures. You vote democrat for government help such as welfare, minimum wage, basically the cynic against corporations and the rich. Conservative democrats who believe in aggressive American foreign policy don't resonate with young voters. You can tell Joe Biden tries to encourage American people to support the foreign policy, saying his foreign policy is every American's foreign policy.
