You mean "saved billionaires trillions" /s

Something something red line. Something something nuclear war. Same old boring saber-rattling which translates to "stop defending yourself!"

It worked for Bush Jr. but only after he fucked up everything with the "War on Terror". We're still picking the pieces up from that mess.

Up until the early 90s, the Dominican Republic had a local cable TV network. This network pretty much had a monopoly, it was dirt cheap and included all the premium American satellite/cable TV networks. You name it, it had it.

Obviously this company never bothered to license any of it and just sent some dude to Miami from time to time to renew his individual satellite package so it could be pipe to an entire country. Neat "business model", not local laws where broken and the US companies couldn't do much about it.

The fun came to a stop when the US threatened to revoke free-trade deals it had done with the State and pressured the Government to clamp down on the cable TV provider.

Who the hell is that guy in the thumbnail? That's certainly not JD "say thank you plwease" Vance.

Oligarchs are going to eat good.

I'm sure that's Musk's goal.

Ides of March is just around the corner too!

Neither does the U.S. Customs and CBP apparently.

Or maybe they play along hoping the next US election cycle allows them to join NATO.

"Apparently"

Would it be better? Yes! Is it possible? That would depend on Russia and they don't seem very eager.

As for Ukraine coinciding chunks of their country, it was tried before (Crimia) and the result was Russia getting overconfident and trying to grab the whole country. Sadly sometimes use of force is the only way. Hopefully, this increase will lead to forcing Russian to negotiate for peace.

It's not about making money, it's about making all the money. Stock holders will pressure to fire the guy that does that.

For the military and giving handouts to billionaires.

Shhh, Musk might hear you and destroy it.

Sad but very likely as well.

That's what we get when Nazis are encouraged instead of getting punched in the face.

Expecting pilots to be sober is woke somehow I imagine. And hiring a black woman pilot over a drunken white man is DEI.
