Germany's screwed in 2 years anyway. That's when the largest age demographic of their population starts retiring. There's not enough young people paying onto the system to support the retired workers and the immigrants on welfare.
And Germany is the best case scenario. It's happening to every other European country, but their economies can't compare to Germany.
Not to mention Europe's banking crisis, currency crisis, financial crisis, demographics crisis, consumer market crisis, Russia crisis, Turkey crisis, and Ukraine crisis, as they drown in amber waves of refugees.
With all that on their plate, they instead focus on punishing the UK for Brexit. The EU is a dead continent walking.
This is correct. They are federal troops in the federal chain of command that get paid by the federal government and receive federal benefits, that are stationed in the states to assist with things that states don't have the resources or manpower to handle themselves, like natural disasters or riots.
The main difference is that they are part-time servicemen, only having to report for duty 1 weekend per month and 2-3 weeks once per year, unless they are called up by the state government or deployed overseas for a tour of duty with the full-time troops. Federal authority ALWAYS overrides state authority when conflicting orders are given.
is that what you kids call a blowjob these days?

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy
US economy is the least dependent on exports. Only 8% of our economy is exports, and half of that is with Mexico and Canada. We don't have a trading economy. We grow more than enough food, and we now drill more than enough oil thanks to shale. We don't need the rest of the world nearly as much as they need to bring their crap here and sell it. China's economy depends on importing raw material and exporting it to us.
We have all the leverage. Trump's playing to the camera when he says we are getting close to a deal. He's not interested in making a deal. He's interested in breaking China's back, and it's working. Their economy is swirling down the crapper. Remember, we don't need China. China needs us much more.
Holding the high ground without attacking means you're surrounded and besieged. Which is exactly where we are at. Unless we fight back and break the siege, they can simply wait us out with school indoctrination and immigration. You can choose to not fight back, but don't get in the way of the men that will liberate you.

Be happy that you still have your krona. The Euro became a crap currency after Cyprus was bailed out, and will lose all it's value if Italy's banking crisis explodes. Keep your military strong for a few more years. Russia had a sharp birth decline after the Cold War ended, so in 2022 the Red Army will be half the size it is now. Increase your farming, because when the global shipping collapses, food will be more valuable than gold. Sweden will do better than Germany in the new Europe.
Sounds like typical Saudi surveillance of it's own population. Remember after 9/11 the Saudis went out the next day, rounded up a bunch of A-Q, and publicly executed them? The Saudis know exactly who everyone in the country is. They did the same thing with the ISIS fighters. They know which groups of Saudis are hardcore believers, so they recruited from those groups to go wreck havoc in Syria instead of rising up against the royal family.
This connection to China and West Africa is another piece of the bigger picture. The US doesn't need Saudi oil anymore. We're energy independent, and we haven't had a carrier battle group in the Persian Gulf ensuring safe oil transports for years. Europe's demand for Saudi oil dropped after the financial crisis a decade ago, plus they buy what they need from Russia now. That leaves Asia.
Asia is as dependent on oil as it ever was. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan would do business with the Saudis, while China would buy from both the Saudis and the Iranians, because fuck the US sanctions. With the US drawing down it's forces in the region, the Saudi-Iran tensions are building.
Fun fact about Saudi Arabia. It's largest oil field, which is the center of the country's infrastructure, has a large population of Shia muslims living over it. The Saudi majority is Sunni. They go together as well as Buckeye fans in Ann Arbor. The Iranians are all too well aware of this, and would love nothing more than to see a Shia insurrection in that area, effectively shutting down Saudi Arabia's oil exports.
So the Saudis are taking countermeasures. They are spying on the Shia population, keeping an eye on them with GPS being 1 tool they use. They also spy on the Chinese that direct the purchases of Iranian oil.
West Africa comes into play when you remember the British stopping the Iranian tanker in Gibraltar before it could reach Syria. Iran supplies it's allies in Syria with oil, because Saudi-backed ISIS took the Syrian oilfields to finance ISIS, and now the Americans are sitting on the oil fields. It would be quicker to ship the oil thru the Suez Canal, but the attack on their ship in the Red Sea was either the Saudis or Israelis , so Iran has to transport it all the way around Africa and thru the Mediterranean to Syria. Remember how Somalia was a center for piracy before the world cracked down and broke it up? Well, the pirates now operate off West Africa. My guess is the Saudis have financed them to re-locate to West Africa to harass Iranian oil shipments. If the pirates happen to make life more difficult for infidel Western shipping going thru the area and it can't be traced back to the Saudis, that's a bonus.

California is in an energy recession. As long as they refuse to fund and plan oil and natural gas pipelines from Texas shale fields, they will lag behind the growth the rest of the country will have. State EPA won't permit tapping the shale fields California does have. California is the only state that imports oil from outside North America. Worse, it's from the Middle East. This guy explains California's problem much better than I can. The whole video is eye-opening for big picture https://youtu.be/du7jG1aDkdM

Can't wait until we are out of NATO and the fireworks start in Europe. After two World Wars and the Balkan civil wars of the 1990's, we're due to sit out the next European war. Gonna screw up the global economy, but at 8% of our GDP as exports (half of that with Mexico and Canada), we aren't a trading country.
We are a continental economy that grows our own food and drills our own oil now. We have all the leverage. Europe insults us behind our back while depending on our Navy to keep their trade routes open. They say they are tired of the US being the world policeman? Cool. So are we. They can deal with the Russian bear by themselves
Globalists trying to stop China's demise to counteract US economic dominance. It's ultimately a useless move.
China is the most over-credited country in humanity's history, both in absolute and relative terms. A billion dollars is like putting one piece of Flextape over a torpedo hull breach in the engine room. Ship's still gonna sink. This just puts more fuel on the fire for GEOTUS to stomp the World Bank out of existence. It was formed to advance our interests, but it's become a climate change swamp of SJW snakes
Trump will show no mercy. We have all the leverage as long as Britain's main concerns are economic access and national security. At a minimum, it will cost Britain the London financial sector.
As for France, they need the American Navy to safeguard the trade routes, and they need energy from Russia. But they really don't have anything worthwhile to us, just a moving of tariffs to zero. Until the EU collapses. Then the trade deal with include the sale of Airbus to American investors. When the EU collapses, Denmark will be begging to sell us Greenland at half the price we offered.
As for Canada, their parliament hasn't passed USMCA yet. They are colluding with their globalist kin, the Democrats. Pelosi won't put it to the House until the Canadian liberals will have secured enough opposition to USMCA to reject it. But that's ok. Mexico is the future powerhouse, not Canada. Also, the mood for secession in western Canada is growing. If USMCA is rejected by the Canadian parliament, expect those talks to get louder. Secession is legal in Canada, the Quebecois saw to that, and nobody has a say in it except the people in the province. Alberta, Saskatchewan, then British Columbia are the most likely to leave.
Verizon media division, which owns Yahoo, Huff Post, and Tumbr, laid off 800 workers in January. Now it's considering selling off Huff Post entirely. https://www.thewrap.com/verizon-is-exploring-sale-of-huffpost-report/
Europe needs to trade with our economy much more than we need to trade with theirs. Plus, there are more American troops stationed on American bases In Germany and the UK, than any single country in Europe's standing army. We have more guns there, and they need us to buy their wine and cheese and olive oil. Nothing will or would happen to GEOTUS. It's just passive-aggressive resentment if it's more than a request for Trump's attention. That means we're finally winning in Europe.
RINOs like to stay in power. They can't enrich themselves if they don't hold a political office, so they will follow the popular opinion. With a majority of independents against impeachment, and today's news of Trump's approval at 52% (Obama was 47% in 2012 when he was re-elected), they will get the pitchforks and torches treatment if they vote to convict. Besides, there are Democrats from Trump won states that would be crucified if they voted to convict. A Democrat senator from Michigan and Alabama are up for re-election, plus a Democrat senator from Minnesota and New Hampshire (states that Trump almost won in 2016).
Not to mention, Ronna McDaniel, Trump's Michigan campaign chief in 2016, heads the RNC, which controls the bulk of the money all Republicans get for campaigning. Any Republican senator up for re-election like Lindsey Graham, won't be getting money from the RNC if they vote to convict. Again, RINOs need to stay in office to enrich themselves. They won't go against the RNC head Ronna McDaniel and the majority of voters.
Can't ship it from Canada. There's no pipeline from Canada to California, and the Canadian oilfields are in Alberta, which doesn't have a seaport or a navigable river. Furthermore, the Canadian fields are being carbon taxed by Trudope, and Alberta has to send a large portion of it's oil revenue to the other Canadian provinces as "equalization" payment. Oilfields up there are being shut down because the profit margin isn't there anymore.
Canada relies on selling it's oil to the US because we are the only country that Canada can transport it to. The Canadian oilfields are cut off by the Rockies from the western Canadian seaports. But we are producing enough of our own now, so Canada's oil exports will dry up before a pipeline can be built from California across the Rockies to Alberta.
Mexico has become the better trading partner for us than Canada. Companies are already de-sourcing from China and moving to Mexico, because Mexico has more young workers who are better skilled than the Chinese. China's 1 child policy is biting them in the ass, because they're running out of young people to work and buy stuff.
Canada's population is aging, and won't buy as much stuff as the Mexican young adult population. Canada's become a competitor with the US in production while depending on us as it's main market. That doesn't fly with us anymore. We will ship tons more food and energy to Mexico, and design the products their workforce will build for us. Mexico's economy is a much better fit for us than Canada's now.
The shale oilfields are also a natural gas goldmine. Electricity costs are holding steady or decreasing in the Midwest as more natural gas burning power plants come online, replacing coal plants.
California is left out in the cold. They haven't planned ahead for the shale revolution. If they paid for and permitted new pipelines to bring in the oil and gas from the shale oilfields in Texas, it would take 7 years before the flow into California could start. It's too late. California will need to keep importing oil from the Mideast, and that's about to become much more expensive. Enjoy the high gas prices and the electrical blackouts, California. You are in for a dystopian future full of them.
Send this to Pelosi instead of posting it here. Until she puts down the wine glass, we can't address the problem.
Meanwhile, Canadians flood across our border to our grocery stores because food in Canada is so expensive. One whole chicken in the US costs $5.95. The same whole chicken in Canada costs 22 Canadian dollars. Latest exchange rate is $1 = 1.32 Canadian dollars.
GEOTUS won't make the deal now. He will wait until things get worse for Denmark, and they need the money. Then he will offer less than before, and they will take the deal. Time is on our side.
Denmark is part of the EU, which currently has a banking crisis, a currency crisis, a financial crisis, a demographics crisis, a trade crisis, a Turkey crisis, a Russia crisis, and a Ukraine crisis, as they drown in amber waves of refugees. Despite all that, they are focused on punishing the UK for not only leaving, but having the audacity to plan for the next day by discussing free trade deals with the US, Canada, Australia, India, and New Zealand.
The EU will collapse within 5 years, and take Denmark down with it. Then, they will be desperate to sell Greenland to us, so we can buy it for less money. Art of the Deal.
FFS, they could try that any time before this site started, too. They'd post the same propaganda on r/t_d. What you're forgetting is that they still use fake news to show their dirty smear merchanting. America isn't buying what the fake news is selling, so stop with the interwebz glass jaw.
The intro they gave GEOTUS was the best I've seen. https://youtu.be/mRSLe7gWRpk
What does Europe have that we still want? Plus, Europe has a banking crisis, a currency crisis, a trade crisis, a demographic crisis, a consumption market crisis, a Turkey crisis, a Russian crisis, and they're drowning in amber waves of refugees. And yet Europe's main focus is not only punishing the UK for leaving, but also punishing them for having the audacity to talk free trade agreements with the US, Canada, Australia, India, and New Zealand before they are out the EU door.
Wait a few years, and Europe will be much easier to take, if it's worth taking at all.
In the past, China said it never issued a bad bond. 2 Chinese national bank bonds missed their re-payment deadline in the past 5 days. Worth about $250 million each. Couldn't hide those, they were too big.
Remember when the Chinese tried to globalize the yuan to compete with the dollar? The result was $1 trillion of capital flight out of China in only 4 months, by the Chinese people, so the CCP shut it down. The Chinese people know their system is massively over-credited to the tune of one Obama bailout ($800 billion over 2 years) happening every 17 DAYS.
Get your money out of China. NOW
Need more towns like Needles. Declared itself a 2A sanctuary city. Or get to work on making the 51st state of Jefferson. As for the gas prices and electricity problems there, you're screwed. California EPA won't let new pipelines be built to California, so the rest of the US is getting cheap gas and electricity from the shale oil fields, while California depends on the Persian Gulf for it's oil. Your best hope is to cheer for Alberta's secession from Canada and praying that Alaska decides to sell you it's oil, instead of an East Asian country that will pay more than California can afford.
Not trying to step on your happy, just being real with you. Here's the news from Kern County (Bakersfield) that you should hear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du7jG1aDkdM
Bye bye Bretton Woods system, hello bi-lateral deals. Mexico is about to be our best trading partner even as our GDP is the least dependent on international trade. Shale oil is breaking the last link we had to international trade. Countries that don't offer us something in exchange for accessing our consumption based market won't be able to export enough of their crap to keep their economies going. I just thank God that Lighthizer is in charge of our trade deals.
Life in Europe will steadily get worse, even if the tide of migrants is turned back. Your economies are in recession. Germany's industry is still focused on mechanical engineering, not information technology engineering. Europe's market is protected from American goods by insanely high tariffs that were put in place to rebuild European economies after World War 2, and were never removed. Those will come down when President Trump insists on a new trade deal with Europe. America has been shouldering the burden of Europe's defense, but that is being reduced. Europe is a First World continent, so it can pay for it's own defense from now on. Change is coming, Europe, and it will be expensive for you.
She earned a grade of F from a conservative study. Scored a 24/100 on conservative positions. She may have raised a few hackles in the hearings, but she's another Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski. Plus, she apparently needed campaign financing, so she went on Hannity after the hearings asking for donations, and got $500k in a day
Constitutional crisis incoming If Roberts doesn't step aside, the Donkeys will scream about conflict of interest If Roberts recuses himself, the Donkeys will scream about whoever Trump decides to move to Chief Justice, since Trump will be choosing the judge to preside over his impeachment trial. Patriots, it's time to make sure your powder is dry.
After Halliburton, Abu Ghraib, and other mistakes done with overt military and Clowns in America actions, Hussein and Killary changed our approach. They stocked the State Department with loyalists, and worked with the congressionally funded NGO Civil Society 2.0 and Soros' Open Society to create subversive socialist cells in vulnerable countries. That was the real start of the Arab Spring in 2011, ISIS, and the 2014 coup in Ukraine. Now those loyalists are behind the uprisings in South America. I was leery of Glenn Beck, but his research on this is spot on. Cleared a lot of the fog of the misleadia misinformation. https://youtu.be/si-vMj-FB88
House of Representatives controls the purse. Gotta vote the Donkeys and RINOs out.
GEOTUS is moving us away from Cold War order with these new trade deals. World economies are heading downhill, but we're not. Not even close.
Because we're not a trading country. US has the lowest % of GDP dependent on exports in the developed world. In addition, half of our exports are with Mexico and Canada. With the USMCA and new trade deals with Japan and Korea, all we need is the UK, and we can survive a collapse by Europe, China, Russia, the MiddleEast, just about anybody.
