I almost throw up when I heard it.

Yup. I used to think Lindsay was just a clueless idiot. I mean he is, but think carefully about what he said there . . . the utter contempt it shows for the ordinary people on both sides who will be maimed and killed for his greed. That is just 100% concentrated evil.
They rape children and will go to prison for life if they don't keep it up. Nothing should be shocking they will sell their own grandmas to stay free and unaccountable.
Let's be real I don't know very many Democrats who are picking voluntary service these days.
Now, when a draft comes about, I'm sure they'll figure out a way to target primarily Democrats and BIPoC's...but we aren't there yet.
I guess i dont understand what point you're making?
“Venezuela and Iran have 31 percent of the world’s oil reserves. We’re going to have a partnership with 31 percent of the known reserves. This is China’s nightmare. This is a good investment,” said Graham.
You don't have "partnerships" with people whose countries you've bombed and invaded and whose resources you are stealing. Those people hate you and want to kill you. You fucking fool.
There's no way to hold territory without boots on the ground and another Forever War.
Not to mention what good does it do. China is moving to electric vehicles, and solar power. Sure you'll want to use gas powered ships for now, but half of the ships traversing oceans are simply moving fuel around, which won't be needed as the electricity doesn't need to be shipped if it comes from solar. Will large shipments still be needed, of course, but wouldn't it be against the U.S. own interest to have high oil costs for the country shipping them items. As in every item would cost more for American consumers to have it shipped, it would be like putting a tariff on Chinese goods.... Oh... I forgot making the American worker pay more to line the pockets of the oil companies is what they want, got it.
War-mongering, conquering, and looting the spoils. Some things never change.
Zionist prostitute
I think that might be an insult…to the prostitutes.
They are, did any of you get rich from the war on terror, or any other war for that matter?
Who is this "we" that keep talking about? I haven't seen Jack shit.
Why is their tonne in kilograms? That's weird, Americans use pounds, it's almost like this was written by a foreign agent, eh? I once learned a story from my Ukrainian coworker many years ago about a kremlin spy working in the US government, and he was only discovered because he crossed his 7s like they would in Russia, not like an American, as they do not cross their sevens.
Imagine this regime trying to catch a mole 🤣
Interesting
I cross sevens, put no loop in two, complete the triangle in four and fully hook six and nine because I’m a surveyor
Lots of Americans cross their sevens. Not the majority, but I see it all the time.
Because you are a multicultural melting pot, like Canada. This was like from the 70's the guy was old. Americans did not do this, this comes from European and more specifically eastern block countries and has been adopted by others as well I'm sure. I'm not from there, but I think they look nicer with a little hook and a cross. This is where the story came from, he saw me writing and broke into his story.
“Venezuela and Iran have 31 percent of the world’s oil reserves. We’re going to have a partnership with 31 percent of the known reserves."
Kinda saying the quiet part loud there, aren't you, Lindsey? In prior decades the government at least pretended its wars were about anything other than oil...
"This is China’s nightmare."
No it's not. China has been ambracing the future by investing in renewables. It's not stuck in the past, and it doesn't give a shit if you are. The oil economy is dead and dying. It will be replaced, and at this rate the US won't be ready for it. China is laughing.
"This is a good investment”
War isn't a fucking investment! Are dollar signs all you see?
Oil is still very useful. Especially when we stop burning it to make cars go forward or to fertilize crops.
A mostly electric future is a safer place
Another point I don't see brought up often is how much we use oil for basically everything else. Clothing (polyester), packaging, flooring, so many consumer goods globally are made from polymers. I hate it but the oil problem doesn't go away with just transitioning to renewables for energy.
China has never produced a lot of energy relying on oil in the first place. They did improve a lot adding renewables to the pie, but sadly, they still heavily rely on coal.
China has a 100 year plan, the orange dotard himself doesn't know what he is going to be doing in the next 100 minutes...

The post jimmy carter dream of the american corporate elite is finally being realized.
The humans on this planet really are going to incinerate themselves over little green pieces of paper.
This whole timeline feels like Vogon poetry
Fuck you "we." "We" who!? When oil companies profit "we" don't see a fucking dime of that money especially with your corporate "taxation" bullshit where they get loophole after loophole to pay nothing.
(a la thejuicemedia) Oh sweetie..
Political English is tricky.
The "we" in, "we are going to make lots of money", has absolutely no relation to the "we" in, "we have to make sacrifices".
Other terms that often confuse proletarians: beautiful justice tax cuts freedom security unprecedented elites transparency socialist free speech patriot ...
Well, he means himself and his friends, which is what all politicians have always meant when they say "we" are going to benefit from their decisions.

Ah it's the 2000s again. They'll top it off with a global financial crisis. Probably the AI bubble collapsing or succeeding and destroying all the jobs.
Maybe the Americans will elect an Obama 2.0 after. Maybe not. There wasn't MAGA last time. More likley it'll be president mecha-Hitler or something this time around.

Textbook psychopath. A truly immoral, sadistic, bloodthirsty bastard of the sort Hunter Thompson would conjure to represent the foulest archetype of American politics.
Thompson has said that as much as he hated Nixon, he would vote for him against Bush and Cheney. If he learned that USians elected Trump just one time after the 2015-16 campaign, his head would explode on its own.
"He was so liberal! Look at what he was running on. He started the EPA. He opened China. He gave 18-year-olds the vote. His issues were education, drugs, women, minorities, youth involvement, ending the draft, and improving the environment. John Kerry couldn't have run on this! What would I give for a Nixon?"

Profits over people once again.
Republicans are genuinely traitors to the US. It’s hard to put into words how much I hate them.

There's no way he said tonne with the e at the end like that.
Shoddy reporting by Al Jazeera. Graham was clearly speaking American, not English.
No blood for oil. It was evil and stupid in the 00s, and it's worse today now that oil is increasingly replaceable

Meanwhile, China has been hard focused on renewables and lowering their need for oil.
Good plan Lindsey...if it was 2006 not 2026.
These old fucks are still thinking like it's 1986.
