Ukraine bid to join the EU was to improve their miserly economy from where Russia left them ($3.5k GDP per capita) to where all their neighbours are, simple. What does Poland do better than Ukraine to be 5 times as rich per capita

EU has done it's work and has been found righteous and unimpeachable in its doings having uplifted all it's members economic situation. US should do the same for Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, El-Salvador etc and stop all this reh reh reh

joining the EU would not improve their economy any more than it would improve if the EU opened its market to Ukraine. at the end of the day, they are after what Turkey is after, free movement inside of the EU.

The tariffs trump imposed last time were kept in place by Biden or he paused some to resume later. so Biden and his admin does not see many of the tariffs are bad because they kept them

You mean a child like this?
Only losers take pride in how many times they impregnate a woman and not how or whether they raise their kids.
You have 4 kids you don't raise by a woman you aren't married to.
You're a black man who thinks he's white with a black daughter who thinks she's white.
I think that says it all.

Sit this one out Loser.

my daughter thinks she is white because of her avatar okay, even if that's the case she is a little girl. she thinks she is a princess too.
when you manage to father a child, you will understand how children are adorable.

as for now, continue to scream your disdain for white people as you allow white men to screw your ass.

IjeBos:
You do understand the same pics I have you have as well.
It's called a cache.

The question is
1.) Why he would post his daughters pic repeatedly to attempt to prove his lie he is in the US
2.) Why his daughter thinks she's white with freckles when she's not.

you keep my daughter WhatsApp avatar

Your idiom was WRONG.
There is no middle ground to it. It is WRONG.
It's not a matter of perception or different view.
It was wrong.
Not all things have a middle ground and when you pretend they do you sound like an idiot.

And FYI.
Not everything is broken down to sides.
You keep saying your side or other side.
This is not a football match.

well, you said it is his idiom, how can it be wrong then? that is how he wants it.
oga go look for way born children you are a waste of oxygen.

There are no tariffs on UK in EU, simple

Europeans understand the strength of unity. After all the brinkmanship, UK made sure to let them know that the economic bonds should remain the same and so it is.

There is no greater economic miracle than what the EU have performed on ex-Soviet and Eastern European countries over the last 25 years. Give them their kudos. This is called show and prove. Results speak for themselves, and is the reason Ukraine wanted to run to join EU. This is what US should be doing for Mexico, Guatemala etc, rising together

the point was they were using tariffs to make the UK do their bidding. The floodgates are still open for illegals to pour into the UK. Starmer is seeking stronger ties. stronger ties does not come without a cost.

The US built the EU economy post WW2. Ukraine bid to join the EU was to move freely and work in places like the UK not because their economy would improve. its how Polish people were all over the UK.

you overexaggerate too much sometimes

IjeBos:

Ibime:
There are tariffs on UK, simpleton

Oga, the EU wanted to strangle the UK for leaving the EU. you watch the video and see the threat. They are using tariffs as a tool as well. WHY?

From 2019. President Trump has repeatedly criticized the EU for treating the US car industry unfairly, threatening to raise the tariff on European cars to 25 percent, from the current rate of 2.5 percent. The European Union currently imposes a 10 percent tariff on US cars, in fact creating an unlevel playing field for US car makers trying to sell American-made models to European markets.

The EU has been pissing on the United state's generosity since WW2. They cannot defend themselves or stand on their own. They want Ukraine to join the EU but they expect the United States to do more in defending Ukraine.

in addition,
As the following chart shows, automobile trade between the United States and the EU is a fairly lopsided affair. In 2018, the EU exported 1,155,488 cars worth $43.1 billion to the US, while the US shipped 267,653 cars worth $6.3 billion to the 28 EU member states. In an interview with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Germany’s Secretary of Commerce Peter Altmaier said that the EU would be open to dropping the levy on American cars altogether, but only if it comes as part of a broader tariff agreement.

Ibime:
Starting a trade war with your allies and neighbours is foolish business

Regions grow together, that's how the EU has lifted so many ex-Soviet people out of poverty over the last 20 years

Let's say it becomes too costly to bring in some goods from Mexico, and Thailand can do it cheaper, that means money flows away from Mexico and more immigrants from Mexico seeking economic freedom

I've always maintained that Yankee should focus on lifting it's neighbours rather than it's Asian Pacific allies

America is a debtor nation and if the rest of the world feels it is no longer an open market, they may start withdrawing capital. That capital is what makes America great.

sometimes you sound like a simpleton. The same EU that is screwing the US?
what are they doing to the UK?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz4nVcCI67c

you would think the tariffs are irrational but

US tariffs on steel and aluminium and the EU's retaliation on goods including motorcycles and whisky will be suspended until the end of March 2025.

They were originally imposed when Donald Trump was president on national security grounds.

But they were paused under Joe Biden's administration.

The deferment will allow President Biden to keep his EU allies onside.

But because they have been paused and not abolished, he will appear to be tough on trade for a domestic audience.

Check your views on this write up and tell me you are better than a MAGA in one the red States.

You are a fascist and you don't see it yet because you have pinned your head inside the sand, buried yourself inside the cemetery of self righteousness and think everyone who does not flow in your direction at all times is not your friend.

Almost of those who claim to be liberal here are very much same with you.
No difference between you and basillico in every aspect, just different sides of same coin.

Mind the way you talk. Basillico does not attack people for having their own opinions on matters. he debates them.

LordAdam16:
Yes.

Russia was correct to launch the SMO and in hindsight the decision to annex Crimea was the right one.
A powerful wing of MAGA accepts that NATO provoked Russia into adopting military means to push back on its eastward expansion.

If the US did not behave so awfully on the international scene, the Global South would not need the likes of Iran and North Korea to be its vanguard.
But we don't choose our heroes when there's a bad actor out there that needs to understand the error of its ways.
Yes, the US under the neocons and neoliberals has been a bad actor internationally in many respects.

Yap until the chickens come home, Trump is POTUS. Crimea + Novorossiya is Russia. BRICS is expanding. The Global South is becoming more economically relevant.
The old order is dead.
I'm excited to see the fruits of Trump's reforms and a more disciplined US that welcomes fair competition with other blocs.

-Lord

Two things can be right at the same time. Russia was wrong to take Crimea and also, the West could have forced them to play that card. Ukraine has the right to decide its future, Russia is acting based on what it perceives as a threat.

China is doing the same thing. If the US starts pushing more in Taiwan, it may force China to go in quickly and secure Taiwan.

this Tucker Carlson and foolish Candace Owens wing of Maga believes America is provoking Russia, China, and Iran.
America was minding its business in WW2 and they were bombed. If NATO or American allies are weak, America won't be spared when the time comes

Ibime:
He said ranting about Russia being evil for Crimea was during Trump 1.0. So they no longer evil because it's Biden era? An anywhere belle-face nigga.

Russia's evil in Crimea was during Obama.

IjeBos:
He said he got more recent information about Trump and concluded he was wrong in initially calling him a racist. Lol.
Imagine, someone watching Trump the last few years and saying that made him believe he was not a racist. Lol
Keep up that intellectually dishonest energy.

that's why more black people n others voted him stupid.

They watched him and realized they had been told a lie.

Ibime:
So Russia annexing Crimea was wicked to you as at Trump 1.0 but attacking Ukraine wotoporiously more to annex 4 regions during Biden era was the best thing since sliced bread

You are a confused, immoral, wicked and anywhere belle-face fellow.

I don't see how this has anything to do with Trump

IjeBos:
So, you would post it, now it's conditioned on something I do? Lol
You were comfortable posting pictures of you, your children, your family, but somehow you don't have any picture of the US, you in the US, or your US Visa.
Gotcha.

Keep lying.

You asked me to post it. I said clarify the lies you have been telling. No one asked you to post your certificate from a Latin school in Boston you just did. No one asked you to post your bicycle you just did. But some how, you have not posted your Harvard certificate or the Benz you lied to have.

you can start learning Photoshop now or look for a parkade where someone's Benz is and pose with it. take your time to cook up something

IjeBos:
So, no, you don't have it.
Gotcha.

lying you went to Harvard because you live in Boston and displaying someone's car here claiming it is your own is what poor men like you do.
when you post that I will post my visa.

IjeBos:
Yes, post it.
Will be a good laugh.

you have to beg.
you claim to be a Harvard grad, Post your cert first. Also, post that your so-called Benz your gay boyfriend used to take you on a date. when you do that, I shall make you cry by posting more stuff

IjeBos:
I'm sure you have something but since you've never been to the US, it's not a US visa.

yes or no

IjeBos:
No US Visa huh?
Lol.
Course Not.
Fake life.

I have it. You want to see it?

IjeBos:
My life isn't a big lie like yours.
In MA it's either D, R, or Unenrolled

Did you ever post that US visa? Lol. That was rhetorical. I know you can't post what you never had. Lol.

For a country where I see men select female as gender in forms they fill, how does this change anything?

I said I won't rule out intentional. Plane is lit up like a mall.

Its not intentional

IMAliyu2:
Take a step back and realize you're imagining something and being upset about that imagination.
Provide evidence that the standards and/or qualifications have been lowered, if you can not, then you are not operating in reality, but the fiction Trump and conservatives have constructed for you.

there is a class action lawsuit against the FAA claiming they complained that qualified candidates are too white.

basilico:
From the link I'd posted here the crew must have had additional training for them to be allowed to overfly that restricted area.

"Everybody's looking outside the aircraft to try to find that other aircraft that you are near," Duckworth said. "The crew chief in the back is also doing the same thing. They're looking out of the aircraft as well, spotting any traffic that's nearby, conveying that information. So, the crew would be talking to each other while also listening to the air traffic controller." .......
They're not allowed to go above 200 feet mean sea level," ....She explained that the helicopter crew "would have been basically sitting in a plexiglass bubble in the Black Hawk with plexiglass above your head, underneath your feet and out the two sides."

"So the helicopter — they would have had a better visual command than the American Airlines Flight, which was landing,


The crash occured at over 300 feet well above the ceiling.

their ceiling is 200, crash happened at 300. It may be that they went up because they thought the plane flying away was the plane ATC was asking them if they had visuals on. ATC did not communicate to them the direction the plane was approaching from. they don't know if the plane is landing or taking off. they thought what they saw was what was asked. to them, the threat is no longer there.

The military should not be operating there. in fact, a commercial airport should not be there since there are serious air restrictions in that area.
ATC still is to blame for almost entirely.

LordAdam16:
First, a near miss should not be a thing.
It's preposterous that they seem to tolerate it.
All it takes is one mistake as we've just witnessed and all goes to sh*t.


[quote author=LordAdam16 post=133950705]Second, visuals should be enough to request a flight path update.
Helos can hover and are more maneuverable than a landing jet.

The problem is that only ATC knew what was going on. Helos says they have Visuals of the jet; unfortunately, they were visuals of the wrong jet.

LordAdam16:
The jet did everything right.
The offending parties are the ATC and helo.
I see you're trying to pin it all, or at least most of the blame on the ATC.
I think they both share the blame. The ATC should of course end up in an Amazon fulfillment center.
But if the helo had taken a different course of action, more than 60 souls would have been saved and the ATC's error would not have been fatal.

I am pinning almost all the blame on them because only they knew about the collision course and did nothing about it. The jet was kept out of the loop and was not aware of the traffic in their vicinity given the fact that the Jet has right of way and priority. The jet is supposed to hear communication between the helos and the ATC for situational awareness but that wasn't the case. That 3-way communication would have helped the jet to decide a go around at least since the ATC changed the runway they were supposed to land and the jet accepted even if they didn't have to accept.

LordAdam16:
I get that it's a helo and not a fighter jet. It'd have been easier to see a descending airliner from a fighter jet cockpit.
But I just find it hard to accept that both copilots on a training flight, more of a recertification flight, failed to see the jet. That's a pilot error.
They were training to avoid this type of accident in the first place and they had more than 1000 flight hours between them.

The pilot was asked if he saw a plane, he saw a plane but it was the wrong plane. I don't see how that is much of an error, where I am blaming the Helos pilot is that with was flying above the required altitude and even that is not enough, flying at the right altitude would have been a near miss if they had not collided.

There is always an altitude difference when 2 flights are close and potentially gonna cross the path. TCAS usually handles that above 1000ft, it was the duty of ATC to set or assert the altitude of the Helos which won't work in this situation. At best ordered the Helos to wait or go around for the Jet to pass as they saw from their Radar both planes would cross the path and also a warning.
My thoughts are the controller should have prevented the helicopter from crossing an active runway with traffic on finals

LordAdam16:
It all goes back to the FAA and the airport's control tower higher-ups.
If you've had a near-miss on more than one occasion, why the f*ck is fixing that not a top priority?
Are we to expect more near misses in the future? Because apparently a solution does not exist. If it does, why are we waiting until after an accident to implement it?
They're going to can the ATC and his/her supervisor but the suits should have rectified the situation rather than play Russian roulette.
And I'm particularly miffed at the "career staff". The cunts that yell over everyone about the importance of "institutional memory" and other diatribe. Here's a situation when they should have put their superior knowledge and wealth of experience to good use but they couldn't be bothered.

Biden was increasing the workforce, but somehow the FAA couldn't fill up flight controller vacancies.
Should the US remove the citizenship requirement and establish a new visa class to import talent before they do what's right.
Tell you what, if they're operating the nuclear and bioresearch labs with the same skill they displayed here, America is f*cked.

-Lord

They took the FAA to court for doing diversity hiring. I think this is where all the blame game is coming from which is wrong on both sides. Trump should not be talking DEI from this tragedy but the left was the first to attack him from this tragedy and I suspect he was clapping back.

LordAdam16:
I have avoided commenting on the crash because the more I read about the accident, the madder I get.

To find out that near misses have occurred multiple times in that sector, the FAA flagged it internally; and for whatever reason they failed to fix it.

Add this to the growing pile of evidence why the Fed civil service should be gutted and rebuilt.
Incoming overhaul in operations should have been done after the first 3 near-misses.
Instead, the incompetent f*cks who are religiously against RTO were receiving fat salaries in their pajamas and waiting for a tragedy to light a fire under their a$$.

The culture in the federal service needs to change, and especially at the DoD.
The frequency of accidents involving the military in the last year has been outrageous.
Here you have three pinocchios T-boning a jet during a training flight because I guess the helo's radar was faulty or they're all sharing one pair of eyes.

This accident was avoidable. There must be accountability.

-Lord

ATC FTC radar shows imminent collision 30 seconds before the crash. ATC did not following any mandatory FAA guidelines to avoid it. The jet has priority over that airspace, the jet is not aware of the traffic (Heli), ATC did not give the Heli assertive commands to stay clear of the jet's flight path. Asking if the Heli has visual of the jet is not enough if he can clearly see they are about to collide.

From the situation, even if they did not collide it would have been a near miss.

feedthenation:
---have you listened to the comms between the helicopter pilot and the ATC to established they are all DEIs---

ATC takes blame 90% of the blame, helicopter pilot takes 10% of it.

basilico:
A lot of possibilities including intentional , DEI or TDS from the Helicopter pilot. Search for her name.

The helicopter route is their normal route, they should fly below 200 fit, they were flying 300 fit just before the collision, the radars usually have collision warning, in a situation like this, an experienced ATC should not allow both planes cross path so close. They always control altitude of flights to avoid collision, they didn't do that. They could have ask the helicopter to maintain an altitude of 150ft or less from the get go.

Like is said, both the helicopter and ATC made a mess out of this. The helicopter went up to 300 fit just before collision, ATC gave no warning of possible collision despite seeing everything on radar. Situations like this, they can also ask the helicopter to reduce speed just enough for the jet to pass. After all, they redirected the jet to land on that run way which is not the initial runway they were supposed to land on
