I agree, but I'm concerned that's not even enough.
The unions knew what Biden did for them, they still supported Trump who wants to destroy unions.

I think people have to live it firsthand before they understand the consequences of their votes.
There you go. But don't be surprised if people vote for the same party again and for a while, just as Nigerians elected APC's Tinubu after 8 years moaning about APC's Buhari.

That politics is over.
Dems have to fight back and stop believing that Republicans will ultimately do the right thing.
After Trump, they had an opportunity to put new laws in place to fortify the norms and hold Trump account for what he did.
They talked, debated and dithered until Trump won office and is now wholesale destroying the US government as it was.
Dems are hopefully not so stupid they'd think the current maga Republicans would do the right things, and instead hope the people see what magarepubs do and choose the better things.

Iran(5000) , North Korea(2000), Belarus(1500) , Syria (3000) Russia( more than 20,000) are used to sanctions.

Russia is the most sanctioned country in the world today. None of the EU countries economy can withstand sanctions from more than 50 countries like Russia.
Dump still got to impose 2.0 tariffs on some country and I nominate my own UK, and Ghana.

I'd like to include Nigeria but we don suffer what I'd call 'internal tariffs' already, and I don't want to be attacked by the starvers.

These people are beyond incompetent.

They would rather keep losing to fascists, than listen to leftists with a game plan like Bernie.
They must consider if Bernie will be listened to. A lot if not most Americans will label him commie.

USA already bought thousands of you in the past, and while you might seem better off today, you were in chains for a very long period and are still almost second class citizens today.

Personally, I wouldn't want to live in a Nigeria bought by anyone.

This is South Africa telling dump to go do one. And for our own dignity, I hope Nigeria tells him the same if he oversteps boundaries.

Rebuker:
On Monday, while speaking, the South African president said:

"This issue that Trump fears so much—we offered this portion of the land. I don't know what Donald Trump wants to do with South African land because he has never been here. He should keep his America, and we will keep our South Africa. South Africa is our land; it belongs to all the people who live here, not to Donald Trump. He can keep his America.

I find it funny that people think any country will defeat USA. Soon Mexico and Canada will bend to Trump. If only every country could have a president that is as serious as Trump, the world would have been a better place. Let everyone go and develop their country and put their country first. Mexico is fighting trump instead of being ashamed that their country is so bad that people are running to USA illegally.
I don't see how you think it is a good thing that countries bend to bullies.

Not all will bend in the end, and even if some countries' leaders bend don't mean the people always will.

I don't think you can see how dumb it is to believe "You get paid six figures to simply approve every single payment request that comes to you".

If you had a brain you'd have requested a couple of million yourself, since they'd simply approve your request and pay you.

Addenda. Panama president is not renewing the China silk road belt initiative.

https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/won-t-renew-panama-withdraws-from-china-s-belt-and-road-deal-amid-us-pressure

He should know it's a debt trap. Ask Sri Lanka.
There was an agreement for Panama canal to be permanently neutral which I think is Trump's starting point.
An old English friend used to tell me to be concerned about China taking over in Nigeria. I told him he thinks we haven't learnt anything from Europe's exploitation, and think we are still dumb so China can exploit us.

You say you consider all sides. Show me.

Critics of the BRI accuse China of pursuing a policy of ‘debt-trap diplomacy’: luring poor, developing countries into agreeing unsustainable loans to pursue infrastructure projects so that, when they experience financial difficulty, Beijing can seize the asset, thereby extending its strategic or military reach. This paper demonstrates that the evidence for such views is limited.

Then I stop feeding. Mind you I pay her monthly salary. I will simply cut it off.

When a country get a loan from IMF, they obey the terms and conditions. That is the way it works.
Stop feeding is exactly what you must do, not because she does not obey you though, but because of her ill life choices, which she should be funding herself.

As for IMF, we'd simply renegotiate new terms and conditions, since supporting countries in renegotiating loan terms through debt restructuring, is exactly what IMF does.

There is nothing insulting about it. Besides it was a question from a scientific suggestion. And what if it's actually true? Will the truth be insulting too?
I did comment in the thread before it's deserved takedown, and saw nothing true about it in support of your speculation, which just fueled tribalism!

It was not a question from any "scientific suggestion" (whatever that means), but a speculative question that was not based on evidence nor facts.

who was she having the second child to cater for before?
For the person who got her pregnant with the first child?

Or did I miss where she at some time told her brother she was having children for him?

Nnamdipapa:
But then she told me she was pregnant with their second child. That’s when I snapped.

"Abigail," I told her, "if you have another child after this one, I will stop all financial support. I love you, but you and your husband need to take responsibility for your lives."
Basically, your financial assistance, in your opinion, gave you the right to tell your sister to abort her pregnancy?

I think you gone a bit too far, and should have congratulated her and told her she's now grown enough to bear her own burden instead of assuming she was having a second child for you to care for.
