The other thing to consider is that Russia's military had very low morale quite recently. I don't know if it's gotten better in the last few years but they might have a very hard time keeping control of it if their economy goes to complete shit and they refuse to change. Russians are only 2...
My experience is that poor people have no clue how to get out of poverty because they are not educated, don't understand the process of getting educated, don't know how to create wealth, and the system heavily penalizes those who make around the poverty level by having their cost of living be a...
Also, that Inspiron starts at the price a Macbook would cost, with tax, in the US. So do you have any friends going to the US for vacation that could pick up a laptop for you?
Yeah you're probably right. There's no way all the wealth could be moved. They did move a ton though. As soon as sanctions were imposed giant deals were struck where they bought foreign assets.
I don't really know if that's true.
If I have $1 billion and move it overseas into an Austrian company than I don't really care what happens with the local economy back home.
If I make $300 a month then interest rates aren't really affecting me either.
There is very little in between in...
Russia is an oligarchy. Why would they raise interest rates to stop it? The average Russian makes less than $10,000 a year. They don't care about that. They care about the top elite.
The asset flight is actually quite interesting. The Russian elite simply invested their money in our companies. How brilliant is that? We can't hurt the Russian rich without hurting ourselves now.
Yes but we don't fight wars to do that. If the US was to engage in a war where the objective was to kill every living soul and salt the lands I think we'd do great. However we keep fighting idiotic wars to try to install puppet governments friendly to us. Our track record is abysmal in that...
Yeah you can be a revisionist with Vietnam, and hell throw in Korea too, but we lost both those wars.
We can play with semantics and say we weren't even at war with Vietnam too. Go for that angle if it makes you happy.
Regardless the point of Vietnam was to stop communism. The result...
Why do they not have the energy?
I think talking about an invasion of a NATO country really changes things. Then you're talking about either a massive conventional war that I can't even begin to imagine or the quick lobbing of nukes at the UK, France, Russia, and the US. That's just outside...
All of this is completely irrelevant since Russia has nuclear weapons and could move massive amount of troops into Europe in a matter of days. The US will have almost no influence on a real conflict over here. There are 65,000 US troops here and the war would probably be over before the US got...
The 1960's called. They want you!
American media is censored and full of propaganda on a regular basis. I haven't seen anything to indicate this is any different.
With that said I am concerned. Not just because of what Russia is doing but what all the world powers are doing. Nobody...
I'm sure there's already been a thread about this before but I hope you're right. As I understand it though there are multiple companies trying to do the same thing. That bodes well. Hopefully.
I lived in San Diego and the Pandas were awesome. I bought a yearly pass to the zoo. I also went and saw them in China. Grats Copenhagen!
PS. Don't kill any of them please.
Phuket is gross in many of the same ways as Pattaya. Lots of old guys with super young thai girls and it's a lot of sex tourism. Skip it. With two weeks you have so much more to see. People go there because it's easy and a hub. So if you have to go through it to get to Koh Phi Phi so be it...
Well those that sell sure have a lot of disposable income. That's for sure. The issue though is that they think these prices are not a bubble so many are holding them and renting them out.
