bemeruca:I would say so , but not so much. Kiev wants to join NATO. That's not happening any time in the near future. I should have added that as another objective that has been largely met by his SMO (not a war declaration). |

Android17:Lol, was the Euromaidan not an uprising by the Ukrainian people against a corrupt and authoritarian government. Tell me otherwise. If it was a US-backed coup, why did it take months of sustained protests and bloodshed to overthrow Yanukovych? Surely, the CIA could have just sent in a few guys in black suits to sort it out, couldn't they? How about the million people march in Kyiv demanding his resignation? Were they all paid by the US?😂 By the way, why did you ignore my previous questions. Why am I obligated to answer yours when you couldn't provide a single answer to mine! 🤷🏼 |

Botragelad:Lookup Victoria Nuland . That's all you need to know about Maidan Revolution. |

Android17:You are not making sense at all. There is not double standards with me on this ukraine Russia issue. If Russia. Fact are these: Russia is significantly weak They have to move assets from Syria to Ukraine As a result Syria fell They don't have tanks They are dying like flies in ukraine Their airforce is degraded Their air defence is a joke The only card they have is they will use nuke. If one mad man says okay, we are ready for your nuclear war, unless they are serious they will lose their front in Ukraine. And even if they are not bluffing they will lose more as well as many other nations. |

basilico:Just another Putin fan boy. 😂😂 Victoria Nuland is all you need to know about Maidan? Right, and I suppose all you need to know about astrophysics is a telescope! Enjoy your Kremlin garbage. |

basilico:Presence of foreign actors is not proof against the will of a people. There are foreign actors in every internal conflict. That's like saying Americans didn't want independence from Britain because of the help they got from France, or Biafrans didn't want independence because France was helping them. The proof is in the pudding. If they had no will, they would have collapsed during the invasion in weeks. |

Ibime:I have properties on >7% rates, Last week I was just told rates has hit 6.5% I am waiting to see if it reaches 5.5 so I can refi. I am all for whatever Trump is cooking |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by bemeruca: 5:47pm On Mar 10, 2025 |
basilico:Yes, Putin can have many objectives. It's not straightforward to join NATO. They could have achieved the NATO part by talking. His main purpose was to control Ukraine. Watch his interview with the Russian stooge Tucker Carlson and you will see Putin's vision on why he invaded. |

raumdeuter:Poland and those countries near Russia is enough manpower we need. Allow us to chop life. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by bemeruca: 5:49pm On Mar 10, 2025 |
Botragelad:All sides have played their part on this issue. Basilico is not entirely wrong. You can point fingers on all sides but at the end of the day, NATO provoked this invasion. At least they gave Putin excuses to invade Ukraine |

raumdeuter:You might still see 2-3% from what Trump is cooking. At that point, you will just flip them for the profit cos price go shoot up I surprise say you dey see profit at 7%, you guys yield must be crazy over there. You can't see profit above 5-6% at most in UK |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 5:51pm On Mar 10, 2025 |
bemeruca:There is a reason they are not answering the questions I asked since last week Before Trump was Canada placing a tariff on US products? If yes what percent? Before Trump was US placing a tariff on Canada products, If yes, what percent? |

Ibime:I am not seeing any profit at 7%, even my 5.9% are just barely breaking even without considering repairs and maintenance but I have some 3-4% which are keeping me afloat. Plus some airbnb which is yielding beyond the normal rentals The 7% I am running them at a loss the goal was always to get them at a low sales price high interest and then refi later to a lower interest rate Wait you mean we might see 2--3% interest rate OR we might see 2-3% shave on current rate? |

raumdeuter:We might see 2-3% mortgage rates and 0-1% Fed rate Trump is well known for ignoring Fed advice on overheating economy and insisting on 0% interest rate. He is pushing Powell for it, but Powell is resisting for now until water pass garri. He has done the same to Powell in 2018 before, forcing him into low interest rates when Powell was trying to apply the brakes. |

Ibime:In this war, Both sides will have to take some Ls and find way to leave with their dignity still intact The was has been going on for 3yrs, 1m people dead with NATO and US throwing a lot of resources into it Do you want to do another 3yrs and lose another 1m plus men? Both sides need a soft landing where they can go home and claim some moral victory Russia being a nuclear power will not be defeated militarily without it resorting to his nuclear option which is essentially WW3 |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 6:08pm On Mar 10, 2025 |
Ibime:2-3% mortgage rates will not happen IMO is we see lower 4% sef make we thank God. Na covid bring those 2% rates and will never happen. I have a friend who was able to get 1.5% in Jan 2021 peak covid |

Iran is the next war. Rinse. Repeat. PS: That's why you're seeing all the ethnic cleansing in Syria. This is what Israel wanted and Trump is playing fiddle. For the fools who think I'm blindly MAGA. I DISAGREE with Trump on his Israel policy and Politics.

bemeruca:Thats what happens when they try to bothside this war with Hamas. Hamas is plainly evil and no equivalent on the other side who will abduct 6months old, rappe women at a concert |

raumdeuter:So you think it's simply by the number of Military personnel? What is the total number of military personnel of Israel vs that of Lebanon + Syria + Iran + Hamas combined? and how come they have not been able to wipe out Israel? And for the records, NATO has a combined military personnel of 3.42 million of which US contributes 1.33 million troop. But it's not just by the number of military personnel, Türkiye has almost double of UK or Germany personnel, but you and I know Turkey cannot withstand either of them. Also no matter how big US military is and how small the rest of NATO is, the alliance only make US stronger. NATO without US can withstand either of Russia or China, it will just be bloody, ( an experiment no one prays to see), I know they cannot boast of defeating Russia + China, so also you and I know that US cannot easily take out Russia + China alone too. |

raumdeuter:Maybe you should ask Trump. He negotiated the USMCA in 2020.
|
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 6:15pm On Mar 10, 2025 |
IjeBos:So you have the answer or Not? Before Trump USMCA was Canada placing a tariff on US products? If yes what percent? Before Trump USMCA was US placing a tariff on Canada products, If yes, what percent? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Botragelad: 6:16pm On Mar 10, 2025 |
Android17:You still unable to respond to my previous statement. Are you okay? 🤷🏼 |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Ibime(m): 6:16pm On Mar 10, 2025 |
raumdeuter:It's not about defeat. Russia is also exhausted of manpower, logistics and have been under strict Capital controls for too long with crazy interest rates. At this point a wise leader will play the game so Russia takes Crimea, and even Donetsk and Luhansk but give back their part of Zaporizhia and Kherson while holding back their $300bln for Ukraine reparations. They will also bring in China to apply pressure from the other side. Putin can sell that to his people since his stated aim was taking Donetsk, Luhansk and "denazification" which means regime change. He can spin denazification however he likes and come out with his head held high. What Trump is doing is setting them up to take all 4 regions by weakening Ukraine, not pay any reparations and resume normal trading relationships with the West. That is unconscionable to Europeans and the message has been that they will not resume normal relationship with Russia under those circumstances, nor will they return the seized money. So it is up to Trump now as to whether he is willing to sanction European countries for holding Russian money, let's see how much he loves Russia. This matter done serious pass wetin you imagine. |

bemeruca:Did you arrive in the US before or after you posted these pics of Canada pretending they were pictures you took the day you landed in the US? Something's broken in your head that you spend everyday pretending you live in the US. You have a mental illness.
