what does Ukraine have to do with this? are you too old for nairaland? why not retire like the old cargo who is still travelling to go visit his mother in lagos.
He visits home every Xmas. Yet his parents supposedly wrongly denied oba of Lagos visit Chicago every Xmas.
He is still here screwing up this thread.

Those kikiki things are his. The old cargo decided to kill this thread by posting as much rubbish as he can. You can crosscheck when he was posting then and these rubbish posts every hour.

When you call them out for pushing such thing, then they turn around and point the finger at you for pushing what they are actually pushing.
That's the left. They accuse you of doing the same thing they are doing. The truth is usually the opposite of their accusations.
They are the ones dividing people into races, gender etc. When you call them out they accuse you of being phobic or racist.

THESE IDIOTS WILL SHOUT TRUST THE SCIENCE TO YOU.
The Supreme court black judge nominee refused to define a woman when asked,

Honestly I have been watching a lot of sports and I notice that most of the black sportsmen in almost every discipline get egged on fervently by white supporters. Whitey for instance adore Usain Bolt. They christened him the greatest athletee. Whitey also adore Basketball stars who are mostly black .
I work for Britons who love Mo Farah exploits for instance. Dare change the TV channel when Mo Farah is about to race { that was ages ago}
and they would have skinned you alive.

This race thing is pushed by democrats and the left to secure votes maybe.

I don't think that's entirely true. Reduce inflation by improving the budget and cutting spending while taxing the hell out of these billionaires. Should be as simple as that right? Just that the "Cut spending" part is the Achilles heel of any administration.

You are talking rubbish as usual

Obama was more fiscally conservative than Trump.

Trump immediately increased the deficit that Obama had left

Also the responsible Conservatives in Congress beat the stimulus down to $600, Trump was busy tweeting that they should up it to $2k just for popularity. What does that have to do with bargaining for military budget, when they had already succeeded in bringing it down to $600. As usual, you have no clue what you are talking about
when did covid start?
you quote 2013 , was there the rona then with people not going to work.

I think you want to check the year that dollar supply was increased by 25%. That was 2020.

I think you also want to check the tweet from Trump asking congress to give each Citizen $2k, not $600. That's why I say Trump has no ideology. A populist will do what's popular, not what's recognisable in ideological terms. That's why Trump's regime bares no resemblance to fiscal conservatism, as evidenced by the deficits he ran. Biden is the same.
In your ignorance you dont realize in america that congress approves the budget. Democrats control congress since 2018.
If you want to the military to get 700B Pelosi will force you to inject money into her pet projects
Ignorant lout.
In other words it was a trade off. Give us this we shall give you that.

Deficits Trump ran were as a result of Obama going big on social spending. Meaning in simple terms Obama created a huge spending spree that Trump had to follow.
and that RINO Paul Ryan never liked Trump

Go and read the definition of money supply and velocity of money and come back

Govt expenditure does not necessarily increase inflation. Depends on the money supply and velocity at the time. eg in a recession, Govt expenditure will be used to stimulate the economy back into life, not cause inflation
When govt prints money and injects it into the economy the money supply goes up. If the money injected lands directly into citizen accounts like what happened during covid inflation rates go up.
When govt is spending too much money on social stipends and printing money , inflation goes up.communists believe gov should cater to the whims of citizens.

How does improving the budget and cutting spending mesh?

Inflation is driven by increase in money supply, increase in velocity of money, increase in demand, or by supply chain issues

Most of the inflation we are seeing is due to Supply Chain issues (Covid followed by War).

Neither of these have anything to do with Govt budgets. Taxation is just a way to reduce Govt deficit, not really linked to inflation.
Inflation is mostly caused by govt pumping more money into the economy.
Reduce gov expenditure and inflation will decrease.

Elon Musk causing waves. .
He is questioning the percentage of fake accounts and bots that Twitter filed. They claim it's 5% , he wants proof . If he does not get he has the option of reducing his offer amount to Twitter. If Twitter is misreporting the number of fake accounts, it also means they have been over charging advertisers, who can then sue Twitter.

Yesterday Elon Musk said he will be voting for Republicans henceforth.
First big defection from the democrat camp.

An American Republican anti-Westerner

I blame social media for sprouting people like you with no grounding in the last 10 years

Tell us what happened in the Maidam revolution where the whole country and parliament voted to join EU, and the President switched last minute to try to sign a deal with Russia instead. Do you think they need the West to spark protest? And you think the EU will not support the protest after the President went against the will of his people? Simpletons like you are easy to deceive with simple concepts. WatsApp news works like magic on your type.

I will caveat this with the fact that Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe, about to sign a deal with the second largest trading bloc in the world.

Now tell me about the Russian Nazi infantry in Donbas
This is no completion. Find out more about Maidan revolution. you can research into specifics of this video

Learn to seperate war from civil life

Britain accepting many Communists to fight for them during second world war does not make it a communist country

As we speak 40 Jews are fighting alongside Azov in the Mariupol steel works

I already know there are many more Nazis in the Russian army than Azov because Russian society has many Nazis. If in doubt, visit Russia, or attend a football match against one of their clubs
Aztov has been killing people . Secessionists sponsored by Russia if I must add. Dont forget UKraine was part of expansionist Russia before they split.
In 2014 the West sponsored the Maidan revolution that turned Ukraine west looking.
The current president was sponsored by the West in 2017

The West threw all resources to oust Hungary president this year and failed.

Search your soul. When a lone gunman kills 5 people you would be the first to scream far right extremism. Demand gun laws because of a deranged mind known to law enforcement kills a few people.

And for those buying Russian propaganda about Azov, Azov supports Svoboda, the far-right party of Ukraine while the Ukraine Government is a centrist party with a Jewish President.

Ukraine allowing Azov (900 in number currently) to fight for them is like Nigeria allowing ESN or MEND to help them if under attack from a Superpower. Like I said, when a country goes to war, everyone goes to war both Nazis, Communists, Jews and Animists.

The only country I know supporting the most extreme elements of the far-right in Western democracies is Russia. Never in my life will I expect to see Republican voting people supporting Russia, which speaks to Russia's infiltration of the most extreme elements of America's right-wing information cycles. Thankfully there are still many Republicans with sense which is why you have their senators visiting Ukraine this week and most passing the military aid package for Ukraine.
The left is not right wing. It tends to marxism/communism.

their most advanced tech is having a hard time in the production line... and to be frank, none of their technology in recent time has shown the capability claimed. their air defense systems are not shaking Israeli fighter jets in Syria, their ships have been having incidents before the war or during the war. their new tanks, the armada usually break down during parade.

the truth is, in today's warfare, even the US abrams will be strong with drones flying above.. except they can have air cover, they will not succeed.
Russia has failed to control the skies and as a result, they are losing their tanks.

Now, they are being pushed back from grounds they took at the eastern flank. they are bringing in their soldiers in Syria to join the fight... thats a sign that things are not working well for them.
Are you sure the Ruskies are being pushed out. In the Southern area they control a corridor from Crimea to Russia that they grabbed. Mariupoli Aztov are hunkered in bunkers.
Donbass Eastern front are they are expanding territories they claim.
In a war truth is the first casualty. Every side will project how they are winning, On this russia ill timed invasion loathed by all including me, the Ruskies have captured a lot of territory . The west wants the war to continue as it distracts discussions on oil prices, inflation and rising living costs.
To say the least if Israel had invaded Gaza the noise levels by the media would have been higher by several logarithmic decibels. Yet they would be invading to flush out terrorists who fire rockets at will targeting innocent civilians. And also pay murderers to kill innocents.

Will you shut up with your brainwashed foolishness

Russia has not annexed any country? I guess South Ossetia, Crimea and the current goings-on do not amount to annexation.

You've been screaming to leave Ukraine to their fate or Russia will deploy nukes. I did not know nukes will be deployed in a common "special military operation" at odds with the Russian military doctrine of only deploying nukes for an attack on the mainland. And I guess China will remain an ally and India will remain non-aligned after the deployment of such nukes.

Like I said, you can only vomit the foolishness from the Russian algorithms you consume daily. Even Putin never mad reach.
Is Russia resupplying? Has russia deployed their most advanced war tech?

Russia has not deployed their full military.
They rain artillery first laying entire towns to waste then move in the ground troops.
Russia firepower is too superior to Ukraine.

"Russia Good", or "Roosha Bad" is not my point in this debate.
My concern is the risk of a nuclear war, and it's real. Therefore:

(1) NATO and EU must declare loud and clear that Russia's bordering neighbors are not welcome to apply. They should remain neutral as they had been since the collapse of USSR without Russian attacks. Sovereign rights that risk sparking a nuclear war must be forfeited.

(2) Russia should issue a non-aggression guarantee never to attack them militarily as long as they remain non-aligned.

This guarantee should not cover election meddling.
Election meddling is common practice all over the world.
Aztov battalion. incorporated into Ukraine forces have rained missiles on russia funded disidents for 8 years.
Factor that in. They are modern day Nazis. Aztov battalion

What I been seeing on TV is Ukrainians gloating about downing Russian planes. how many of their army have been casualties.
russia controls east and south of Ukraine except for Aztov battalion hiding in nuclear prepared underground caves in a steel plant where they took civilians to those enclaves.

When Russia took missiles to Cuba the US resisted. Why should NATO put missile defensive shield. Remember a defensive shield can be changed to offensive.

I do not support russia by the way. If you sponsor my enemy fighting for my land You become my enemy.

Russia needs a sea port to the Caspian sea too. Crimea they took it over. with this nonsense they have taken eastern ukraine and created a supply corridor to resupply Crimea.The Ruskies have Mariupol in their hands.
From there they can fend off attacks all way to turkey bosphorous.
