Still trying to sell my AA weapon idea where I have a missile that explodes in the flight path of a plane and releases a cloud of volcanic ash and magnetic dust that gets sucked into jet engines.

If it will buy nothing from others but commodities and consumer goods, they must prepare to do the same.
Have they tried adding weapons to this offering in order to match the US offerings?
Bank of America and Morgan Stanley are two of the main banks that Tesla has used to underwrite its debt. Morgan Stanley just sold off the last of the debt it held earlier this year, and I believe BOA still holds Tesla debt. If they turned around and said actually Tesla is dogshit (and thus won't be able to pay its debt), then they would probably open themselves up to lawsuits since it's still too close to having sold/underwritten the debt.
My only hope is that this is more of a Molotov-Ribbentrop situation to buy more time, and not that China is so foolish or craven that they actually think the US won't just keep going once they have the Middle East and Latin America under their control.
I actually see SCOTUS overruling this, because otherwise it will call into question the validity of electronic signatures, which would grind the economy to a halt.
I had a feeling, based on the comment Zelensky made the other day about "tough choices" wasn't a coincidence and that it was related to the US wanting to shutdown the Ukraine front to focus on Venezuela. I just assumed it was for supply chain reasons, and not that the US wanted to negotiate Russia staying out of Venezuela.
Honestly, if Putin takes this deal, how do any of Russia's alliest every trust them again, short of having them by the balls.
Just to be clear, I think Jeffries should be primaried. If Dems start having to spend more money and go into more debt over campaigns that should have been safe because they aren't aligned with the base on stuff like Israel or healthcare, they may adjust (or the may not). I just don't think it's realistic to expect Zohran to be the one to lead that charge.
On the one hand, I think anyone who expected that he was going to launch a people's insurgency from Gracey Manor were a bit delusional. He's mayor in what is possibly the most dead-end political office in the county (no NYC mayor has ever really gone on to hold a more a meaningful office after serving, at least not in a long time) and is facing probably one of the most hostile bureaucracies in the US at either the city or state level.
On the other hand, I think anyone who is criticizing him for not launching a people's insurgency from Gracey Manor are also a bit delusional, for the same reasons. As far as I can tell, the goal seems to be to show the public that he/NYC DSA can deliver on the frankly mild socdem agenda that he ran on, and picking a fight with every single politician who has the ability to fuck that up probably isn't the best idea if it can be avoided. Jeffries is also very popular in his district and burning a bunch of political capital and NYC DSA resources on a race that is even more longshot than his own mayoral race is a questionable tactic.
The US won't attack Venezuela until the Ukraine war has been effectively wound down, because the MIC can't sustain Ukraine plus another war along the lines of what the US intends to do in Venezeula. Hence the push to make Ukraine take a deal.
Thoughts?
Well, that's what I get for not reading the article, I guess.
The signs, driven into the sand near where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico, caused a stir when witnesses said men in a boat arrived at the local beach known as Playa Bagdad and erected them.
This is right over the border, like ~10 miles South of the Rip Grande. It's possible the US government did this, but it's also entirely possible that some militant yahoos with a boat did it.
Politely proposing to change that "Chilling" label to "Capturing Aden", Mr. Houthi.
