Obrigardo: How is your source 4chan? What's wrong with you?
there are a lot of bright people there. I cannot dismiss every opinion I read about because the website is deemed racist. There are a lot of racists on 4 chan. there are very bright minds there. Let me reference this story about a flag meant to fly during Trump presidency . These autistic kids located it. this is beyond your capabilities
Obrigardo: Honestly, if i meet you in real life, I'll first tie you up because you will surely be a psychopath who would kill me in my sleep. You are really messed up in there, that is if you really mean you frequent 4chan and that nazi and traitors patroit dot win. Jesus!
Because you are too stupid. Everyone has an opinion. I am a truth seeker. I will seek many sources before posting here, You on the other hand sees an article critical of Trump and you rush to post it. Look inwards my friend. Search your soul and heart before posting anything, Trust but verify,
Obrigardo: I think you are really drunk on your piss, if you are asking Obrigardo this question. This is the only question that got me so pissed off. WTF?
I said I have a day free and Im drunk. But that does not diminish my mind. Your minds sounds heavily depleted.
Obrigardo: The only "people" using "Truth"social now are bots with fake government names, and a bunch of groypers and incels, coupled with nazis and white supremacists like you can find on 4chan and gab.
I like 4chan, patriots.win and so on. what value do you add here except irrational complaints. Sort out your life my friend. Im telling u as a friend. You need to look inwards at yourself.
budaatum: I'd expect you to be a user, bas, but since its so useless that even drumpfght does not use it, zero.
How many people use truth social, bas?
I dont do social media so I have not bothered to enroll.I have never posted anything on FB and twatter account. I like the discussions here though. We should grow each other here with knowledge
This is just another Criminal trump grift and mark my words, before the end of this year a "Truth"Social lawsuit from a disgruntled shareholder will be filed against trump. All of his failed businesses and bankruptcies have amassed lawsuits one after the other, If i can bet on this, I'll gladly stake my house and all my savings.
whats your beef. Trump has gazillions of properties, they refused to gold plate his plane because of weight issues and you are here talking about failed businessman Raise your family. Buy some land where you can be buried
Obrigardo: How did Criminal trump get 70+ million votes when his "Truth"Social has only gotten a miserly 1.2million installs since launch, and now at 6,000 installs a day, plummeting from over 80,000+ installs daily? How did trump get those votes, tell me sucker!
I can tell you. america has 150m voters. Half will vote for a republican.
Clinton campaign pays fine for fake Steele Dossier The lead investigator for the House Intelligence Committee’s 2018 probe into the FBI’s investigation of alleged Trump–Russia collusion, Kash Patel, said the fact that the Hillary Clinton campaign is paying a penalty to Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an admittance of guilt. Clinton and DNC are doing so to bury the narrative and prevent more media coverage of these illegal activities, said Patel.
“I think the public sees what that is. It’s their way of burying the narrative, because if they contested what happens, more media coverage, more people start looking into these things,” Patel said.
“So the Hillary Clinton campaign is not contesting it, they’re paying the fine. It’s basically admitting that they did this and they’re out is: ‘we just don’t want a protracted legal deal, as if the Hillary Clinton campaign and DNC ever shied away from taking something or someone to court,” Patel
I said here that one day the truth shall be known,
Obrigardo: Criminal trump was a branded failure. That is the solid truth, whether you like it, or not. Even you, his cult follower, know in your heart trump was and is still a failure but Stockholm Syndrome got the better of you.
Now his SPAC stocks is in free fall. What happened to "Truth"Social's shareholders funds? This was just another one of Criminal trump's grift.
I have been on holiday so I have not caught up with some stuff you have posted. I am on duty over Easter so I am having my fun now. I will later From tomorow. For now l am just letting go.Getting very drunk.
I hope I do not get banned. Car thieves in less than two minutes. some end up in Lagos. source car from Canada where salford lives. Forgive me Salford by the way since I always associate Canada with you.
benalvino3: I am not saying it should be withdrawn, all I am saying is if China wants to enter Taiwan, no amount of sanction will deter them.
This is no longer the time of 1990s when their allies were not economical behemoths. China is the number 2 economy if not number 1 and sanctions against them will have equal effect on those putting it.
And like I said, these people don't care if their people eat once a month. If them Wan do something they are more likely to do it if they feel it's the right time and their plan will succeed.
China waiting for the right time to invade Taiwan. It's not the fear of sanctions keeping them out... It's the fear of failure. Taiwan is as capable as China, they have modern equipments and China has not proven itself. So all the talk of military might may be blablabla
China will take over Taiwan, They will do so because the west only give lip service about protecting their allies. As Russian invasion has shown the west will only throw sanctions. russia currency has gained value because they want to be paid in roubles for gas contracts,
It seems to me that Biden gang wants to eliminate the petrol dollar
Wisconsin district voted to decertify election results last night, I will be proven right one day. No kraken but Joe Biden is an illegitimate president.
budaatum: Bas, are you trying to be funny telling me what I've always done here?
What most don't understand is that with Nigeria adopting the American style of government, we have decided to go down the American historical political root but without the fueling force of occupying the land that America seized plus the free labour they seized with which to develop it, and without the political issues - race, gender confusion, oppression, etc - that they adopted their political system to solve, which is why we can't grow as America did and must find our own way after fully understanding the path we currently travel.
Unfortunately, we turn ourselves into the Right and the Left, a concept that does not even exist in Nigeria except perhaps as the North and the South, or my tribe and your tribe, a division that does get in the way of our learning.
Good thing is, the truth shall set us free. We just have to be mature enough to admit it when we see it bas, instead of thinking those with a different view or opinion are competing with us.

budaatum: Russia too can be said to have wanted dominance, bas, but what they've got out of the stupid error in understanding how the world works and thinking dominance is the same as 20th century military might, is a vast diminishing of themselves.
we can also say that Putin has decreed to be paid in roubles Europe gas needs are 40 percent from russia, . the rouble value has risen, how u explain that?

Now thats the stuff that grows us in this fora. I learn a lot here. Lets spend more time even in our diverse views to help each other here. Being antagonist all the time does not help. We are here to grow each other please not compete who knows more.
budaatum: I have not disputed that fact, bas. I'm telling you that if China seizes Taiwan, more that those currently sanctioning Russia will sanction China that needs the resources it imports to from around the world to "manufacture stuff moved to China Even your toothpick" so China wouldn't have the resources to manufacture anything and even if they can they would have no market to sell it to.
Now, if you wish to delude yourself that the world would not sanction China you are welcome, but be aware that you will be arguing that those who yelled "China Virus" would be so weak that they would fail to influence whatever Biden wants to do, and consider the marches of the youth all over the world joining in with Hong Kong.
I will answer you later. all I can say now that Chinese want dominance. seizing Taiwan allows them to control semiconductor market. which we can bet they will
budaatum: You are dreaming, as usual. If China seizes Taiwan, anything made in China will become toxic unless you discount the media's ability to convince everyone not to buy anything Chinese and all the sanctions that would be imposed on then.
Most stuff is made in china. you are delusonal. major companies that manufacture stuff moved to China. Even your toothpick, likely made in china.
budaatum: If China seize control of Taiwan, Taiwan will be all they'll 'control' because no one will sell China the resources its people need to produce semiconductors or even enough food so their over 1.5billion people do not die of starvation, and that's apart from the fact that no one will buy China's newly seized semiconductors nor anything else, and the Tawainese they capture will sabotage operations at every single moment because China will find it almost impossible to capture the content in the Taiwanese's head.
I very much doubt the Chinese are mad and stupid like Putin, but I guess we'll duly see.
If the Chinese seize Taiwan they can squeeze the market such that your android/iphone phone will not be replaced after you lose it, See things on a global scale. Stop being a simpleton. China is big enough to grow its own food. dont have data right now but china exports grains
Ibime: Semiconductors are made from Silicon, Germanium, Cobalt. Taiwan has no monopoly over those materials so it's just a case of producing elsewhere.
The device you used to reply has some chip inside it. Most likely made in Taiwan. You can have a mineral like diamonds but have no knowledge of processing to market it.
Ibime: International trade does not work like that. Semiconductor is not the only product on the market. There are many products. Control of a product is only meant to give you leverage in negotiations, not as a tool of war which Putin is stupidly doing with a product he doesn't even control fully. You sell what you have and buy what you need. That's why they say nobody wins in a trade war. If China should ever control semiconductor market today, USA will invade Congo tomorrow to get their own and nothing China can do about it. Will they go and fight USA in Congo? They will eat their phones and computers with no market to sell it to.
China will not invade Taiwan without serious damage to the homeland economically. Not to mention Taiwan is one of the top10 military in the world, so they can damage their homeland economically while inheriting an Island of rubble as a result of Taiwan putting up some resistance. Bros, the world has moved beyond imperialist tendencies. We are in an age of trade and improvement of your citizens lives, not claiming pieces of land whose economic value is not equal to the economic shock your population will receive if try to go to war over it. That's why UK and Spain have never, and will never fight over Gibraltar. It usually takes an unhinged, old leader who has been too long removed from normal life to misunderstand this principle like Putin is doing.
I personally believe there is nothing stopping Russia from joining the EU and NATO except a lack of democracy and imperialistic ambitions. If Germany and Japan could drop their Imperialism and Autocracy and become the foremost economies in the world with their Citizens living la vida loca, then only Putin and those FSB mindset is stopping Russia from joining the comity of Nations. In history, Russia and Britain have always fought war on the same side and they have strong history of cooperation with the French except for the Napoleonic period. They are Europeans afterall and blood is thicker than water. I believe NATO will love to have a democratic Russia on its side as a deterrent against China who they share border with and who they are militarily superior to. They just need to do away with the past and old ways of thinking that Putin represents. All their former neighbours like Lithuania, Estonia and co are chopping life now, and if the Western world can absorb strong enemies like Japan and Germany, and even East Germany just 30 years ago and make them successful, then improving the lives of 150m Russians that have much to offer is a piece of cake. Putin is taking Russia the wrong way, simples.
"So TSMC, if you just have a look at market share, I believe manufactures around 50% of all semiconductors in the world. And I think that still understates how important it is, because these are some of the most advanced chips out there," said Wang.
Semiconductor designers and manufacturers are on a quest to make chips smaller and better. Currently, TSMC and its South Korean rival Samsung are the only foundries capable of manufacturing the most advanced 5-nanometer chips.
China is the global manufacturing hub, They consider Taiwan as part of their territory. If they capture Taiwan they will control 50 percent of world semiconductor market. What makes you think they wont . Now that its apparent America will do nothing if they move to the invasion phase
China if you didn't know want to control the world. They are unscrupulous and will use shortcuts outright or bribery to achieve this. The Renminbi they want to make it the global trading currency,
The west in its morality quest thinks everyone plays fair. Chinese dont
Ibime: China are already meeting that need as it stands from several sources including Russia
Truth be told, China cannot afford energy prices to skyrocket. At some point, they will want Putin to chill.
I don't think they will want to be wholly reliant on Russia. Sino-Soviet relationship has never been rosy even in the Communist era. Where they see eye to eye is on Taiwan and Ukraine, however China are smart guys that count the cost of everything. China don't have a large revenue product like energy that they can sell if their attempts to take Taiwan leave them shut out of Western markets. I believe China will take Taiwan with leverage and diplomacy. The cost is too high.
So even when you are allies with someone, when you ally becomes a barking dog that threatens your National interest, you need to be able to bring them to heel, and China taking 100% of its energy from Russia will put it in a vulnerable position to put Russia in line when Russia's actions go against it's National interest. China is an ally with North Korea but dine with them with a long spoon because North Korea is too much of a barking dog. There have been many periods of strain of relations with China and North Korea including when China backed UN sanctions against North Korea, because China knows the market it mustn't lose (Western market).
Agreed . China energy need are enormous. They need several sources because a single source can hold you hostage,Iran is a good source for them especially at discounted prices.
I think china will invade Taiwan, The semiconductor manufacture of the world. Putin is just a side show breaking food chains.. China will take over manufacturing of Integrated semi conductors headquarter in Taiwan, Then every electronic device will be controlled from China.
China is on good terms with Iran and Iran has mothballed 1m BPD capacity because the international community won't deal with Iran. If China was so hungry, they would eat Iran's unused capacity.
China can increase Russian supply slightly but it will still be at knockdown prices, and no country sets up it's supplies to be wholly reliant on one source that can blackmail them.
At some point, China's goals and Russia's do diverge. Russia imports goods and exports commodities while China exports goods and imports commodities. Chinas aim is a strong dollar while Russias aim is a weak dollar. These two aims diverge. Not only that, but China does not like increase in Commodity prices, same as Western World. If China should ever tell Putin to chill, that his actions are increasing their cost of production and Putin controls 100% of China's energy supply, China will not be able to assert themselves
China has 600m middle class The country needs a lot of energy, Probably they dont want source their energy needs but we have something called hedging. You fix energy prices maybe annually.

I will like your post and respond We should grow each not to be fervent enemies because of the darn politicians we support,
Ibime: Germany gets 40% of it's gas from Russia rather.
Your guy Trump did warn them that Russia will use it for blackmail but they didn't listen.
Regardless, it's a buyers market, not a sellers one. Russia have nowhere to divert or store the gas and need the money. Meanwhile countries are making their own provisions long term. Putin has really shot himself in the foot, however you look at it.
check my previous post. China has insatiable energy needs.India too, I think russia is doing a pipeline to China.Europe has no better source of energy than from Russia.
Ibime: That article isn't correct. Gazprom is basically selling their German division (downstream) to avoid unfavourable regulation, not that supply has stopped.
Also Germany has a few months supply.
Gas is something that moves quickly and that volume Russia pumps cannot be stored by them, so the clock is ticking on Putin, not Germany. They will come to compromise.
Europe gets 40 percent of it energy from Russia. If Europe does not buy russian energy the insatiable Chinese will do. India too. When the west kicks Putin of the SWIFT transfer system the Indo China will come up with a way to buy Russian energy
