  • did not realize OP is a lemmy star.

  • The article is written by someone who got the coolaid explanation from the oil and gas industry. You are NOT using your brain. Have you ever noticed how the fucking oil and gas companies make HUGE profits every time oil prices go up? There's a lag in the production & distribution chain. They bought oil at lower prices. as the prices go up their profit goes up. They also do certain things called hedging where they pay a financial price for cost certainty. The financial cost of volatility is borne by global investors/hedge funds/gamblers. If you accept their explanation while they shove it up your behind, go ahead and enjoy the reaming.

  • That's called marketing excuses. They immediately raise gas prices when the world oil prices go up, but they don't decrease the prices when the world oil prices go down? That's BS. I under oil production processing refining and distribution enough to know that COSTS do not IMMEDIATELY move up the chain at the exact same time as world oil prices.

  • I think this shows the military and junta are feeling more secure about their control of the country.

  • To back away now would leave Iran as the new hegemon in the region. We would face profound economic and strategic consequences as the petrodollar is rerouted to China, and the Gulf states realign their loyalties, policies and investments.

    This would impact us with mounting interest rates, inflation and slower growth. U.S. credibility as an ally and global force would be shattered. Withdrawing from NATO would only deepen the problem.

    This war has fucked the US over.

  • I honestly don't know what Carney is doing. She is a vaccine skeptic and socially conservative on many issues.

  • Is the girl in question the one blurred out? And is he not touching her? How is that appropriate? It's not JUST the inappropriate sexual comment, but also TOUCHING of a minor, during a public meeting.

  • hope to see them back in my area in the summer.

  • I think you're missing the tenet of the intent. China is building a China-centric trading eco system. They want what US has. The rest of the world subsidizing them while they control the world trade and financial system. This new block is trying to be counter-weight in negotiating a better WTO against China and the US. The picture you're missing is that the post-WWII order established by non-communist countries are geared to favor the US and the West. But now that US is breaking the old understanding where that advantage was shared with junior partners, they are finding themselves at a disadvantage. That's why Carney is smartly trying to organize the junior partners of US to form a block, to not only revive WTO, but to create a better one.

  • This is a quagmire that has only one outcome: the utter and complete humiliation for US. Trump, being who he is, isn't going to concede, and will keep fighting this war, keep it going till he leaves office, and blame the next admin for it.

  • China is building its own axis with China at its center, with ambition to rival and take over from the US as the world's only super power. India is in the BRIC block very friendly with Russia, led by a right wing Hindu nationalist party. They got their own blocks.

  • IKR?!!! the hypocrisy!

  • Why Australia? Let him go! He's a freedom fighter!

  • One day he's preparing heavy troops deployment sending thousands more to the middle east, the next he says he wants to wind down. Talk about mixed messaging!

  • The scam compounds in Southeast Asia are operated by Chinese organized crime.
