You are on the right track. People should not be encumbered by living up to promises or known expenses. Let's eliminate all contractual promises. That will surely lead to prosperity.

And they are all wrong.

Not true. His military is not decimated, and the Russian economy has gone full speed war posture, producing far more than they were a year ago, which does not argue well for the outcome. Ukraine has to do a bit better than status quo this winter. Otherwise they will be overwhelmed.

More of this relentless stupidity. None of this has anything to do with Trump or events 2000 years ago. Asinine red herrings.

I have reached the point where I feel sorry for you.

You are really too stupid to respond to. There was no Hamas cover up because it was a gov approved massacre. My Lai was a singular crime, and I am not going to do your homework by answering your lazy questions about punishment.

This is a repeated argument of yours and it makes no sense. Further, I doubt you have seen the video. I know I haven't, and I never will. My Lai was a singular atrocity by a single group of criminals. Discovered, prosecuted and punished. What Hamas did was far worse, and that isn't the point. This was an intended, planned for, trained for and supplied "gov" action Not some individual event. The entire suggestion doesn't even measure up to a specious claim. It is bizarre, and senseless.

What kind of an idiotic comment is this, and the second sentence makes no sense. There isn't a civilized country or group in the history of the earth that would not advocate for the destruction of Hamas. The 45 minute video? You know, the one that they treated the world to on their 10-7 invasion? Included stealing cell phones of captured, innocent Israeli women, attending a concert, and knowing full well that their parents, families and friends would watch, recorded and posted rape and murder. Killing babies including the unborn. There is simply no way to ever excuse this, or allow those who caused it to survive, let alone next door. It makes the holocaust look minor.

Ya. Like they tried to "take land " land from them by defeating yet another Arab coalition attack in Yom Kippur, or launching this most disgusting of attacks. People who have seen the 45 minute video have not been just shocked, they have been traumatized. Hamas is an inhuman, barbaric group of trash that nobody should ever have to liver under the threat of.

They were granted that land in 1948. If there is an issue with that, take it up with the UN. It took exactly one day for a coalition of Arab states to attack them, and lose. They weren't 'displaced" in 1967, anymore than the British were "displaced" in the late 1700's. They lost a war. They lost land that Israel determined was worth holding so it could serve as a buffer for attacks that were inevitable, and have happened, always.

I'm not having any problem linking to it, either through my original post or your quote, and no, it is not from Michael Koffman. It strts with an in detail view of the air war, but at the 31:38 mark, gets into a detailed discussion of what is really going on and what is at stake.

These are the two guys I trust when evaluating the entire situation, and sums up my view. I get that it's a one hour video, but well worth the watch. The discussion of the value of continuing to pursue this starts at the 31:38 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmMclP8dlI0 Before that is a detailed air war discussion. Very good and informative for those who are not familiar.

Yet they survive and thrive. Won a war against a coalition of Arab states the day after their creation in 1948. Won a war against a coalition of Arab states in 1967, the "Six Day War," capturing West Bank, Golan Heights and Gaza. Won a war against a coalition of Arab states in 1973, called the Yom Kippur War, ended by a forced ceasefire when Israeli troops could have captured both Damascus and Cairo within days. Decimated the Syrian Air Force in 1982. final score...80 something to zero. Destroyed Iraqi nuclear facility, 18981. Destroyed Syrian nuclear facility, 2007. Not a bad record.

Goodness gracious. If you'd ever done business in Argentina, you'd realize that his views on free trade vs. protectionism are meaningless at this point. The start is actually being able to do business there without paying off gov employees. Regarding default, they are already grossly incapable of paying off debt. Another non issue. Abortion rights? Argentina is still a Catholic country following an Argentine Pope in Rome. How about solving the kidnapping for ransom issue before worrying about abortion. The point is that they need to clear up gross, generational, entrenched internal corruption before any of the issues you bring up can be addressed, and they have never demonstrated the will to do so, because some left wing populist has always come in to tell them that it isn't necessary, and things will be fine. Fails every single time.

This is going to be a troubled road, becasue there are so many people dependent on the status quo, and they are not going to welcome change. Still, the effect of Argentina abandoning the failed policies it has clung to over the years would not only unleash an incredible economic and cultural potential, it would break the South American proclivity for clinging to populism, government failure after failure, and proven bankrupt policy designed to do nothing other than line the pockets of corrupt individuals. I can only imagine the effects if Argentina turns this around. Brazil and Peru come to mind. Well worth temporary pain, but I'm not sure Argentina is willing to go through it.

The Chinese submarine fore, which has made rapid progress through stolen technology, is not close to US sub capability. The issue is quantity, and the US' inability to produce becasue of shipbuilding and ship maintenance deficiencies.

Because they, Hamas, are humans? Either way, by their actions, need to be removed.

I am extremely suspicious of that footage. "Rockets," even a number of them, don't cause that kind of damage. This would also imply that Israeli air defenses, which are formidable either failed or were not utilized. Very suspicious.

Having visited your country many times per month in my previous career, I sincerely wish for a successful transition from the gross corruption of the Kirchner, and previous, regimes, Such incredible economic and agricultural potential being sucked out by corruption and socialist malpractice. Simply clearing up law enforcement and customs department corruption will be a monumental task. Buena suerte amigo. Cruzare los dedos por ti.

You point out nothing., You are a little punk who has been directly challenged and never responded, more than once. You are a disgrace.

More idiotic nonsense brought about by stupid claims that you state as fact but are grossly wrong. I have no problem stating he is a war criminal. I just don't see the need or value to post every single view I have of every single thing. It does absolutely nothing to do so, so I don't. The only time I am ever going to respond to you is when you falsely accuse me of something because of your ignorance, or when you post something ridiculously false.

You are uniquely incapable of understanding the written word. I never said Putin was not a war criminal. It is a boldfaced lie to ever claim that I did. What I listed was a number of countries that could be guilty of it, and this silly exercise of pointing fingers at only those you don't like is a waste of time. You continue to establish rock bottom in your useless and grossly false claims of what other people think.

This entire "war criminal" thing is a silly diversion. The US, UK. Germany, Japan, the USSR and subsequent Russia could be guilty of it. Israel is going to eliminate Hamas, or come as close as they can, unless stopped, and I don't see that happening. There are going to be many civilian casualties, because Hamas uses civilians and media nonsense as a major part of their strategy, because they have nothing else. Get over this "war criminal" nonsense.

If we had a Mongolian BBQ option here, it would be my auto go to. Back in my Navy days, the Cubi Pt. (Philippines) Officer's Club had Mongolian every Wed. It was the best.

Ceasefires jammed down Israel's throat after the Six Day War and Yom Kippur really worked eh? Hamas has to be eliminated for any hope, and the Israelis are committed to that regardless of what others, who have no "standing" suggest. The only way this ends is for Iran to be stopped and for some level of sane leadership to come from the Arab world in dealing with the Palestinians.
