  • I'm one generation down from easy migration. Same with my wife.

    Would be hella scary to emigrate. We don't speak the language. I figure most dutch people speak English but it would be really isolating. We don't have skills that would let us get jobs easily. We have significant health issues.

    We won't unless we must.

  • That is a very specific and unusual circumstance.

    Shorts have to be bought back after the term. You borrow it, sell it, and buy it back after so much time and give it back to the lender. You think the stock is shit so when you buy it back it will be lower cost than what you sold for and you keep the difference.

    Too many shorts all at the same time and now everyone is buying it back and driving up the price, but that just rarely happens, and when it does happen it will work itself out in a few days or weeks.

  • I'm not certain that's true. Even if he knew it was bullshit at some point. If you surround yourself with bullshit you stop being able to smell it.

    You can come to believe a lie you tell yourself long enough and hard enough. He is surrounded by enablers who are also lying to themselves.

    It doesn't matter what he believes. He does need consequences.

  • Russia has a larger army than any European country. Only Ukraine comes close, and they have veterancy only rivaled by the US and Ukraine.

    (Ukraine probably wins on veterancy)

    Sure, if Europe acts with Unity, they can roflstomp Russia, but Moscow would be looking for a moment of crisis to exploit.

  • They absolutely can.

    Russia has thousands of men willing to fight in horrendous conditions.

    A few thousand soldiers that are very well equipped might lose to 10x as many badly equipped enemies.

    I think they would lose, but they might not think so.

  • There is nothing standing in the way of anything else. They can disappear you, your parents, your children, and your friends. They can send you to a work camp in El Salvador and there is nothing anyone can do for you once you are there.

    Keep tabs on your loved ones. Have a plan for if the gestapo shows up at your home. If you can leave, it's time to strongly consider it. This is the equivalent to somewhere from 1933 to 1936. Basically no one in the camps from those years survived to VE day.
