@mwb2044 @bratricek It's also forgetting that the Americans intentionally invested in neutering Europe

@bratricek Why do Euros think they’re doing us a favor by being incapable of their own defense. If we closed all euro bases we’d still have 100 overseas bases. Regardless of what Europe does US defense spending will either stay where it is (more than the EU combined) or increase. Go for it!

Let me get this straight:
You are locked in a war on the other side of the globe, completely dependent on European infrastructure literaly begging for us to join and you feel like flexing against a continent of several former empires with unmatched history of warfare is good, because former commie empire is digged in 2nd world country for 4 years unable to even stop the destruction of its own oil infrastructure.
Buddy, you are not gonna believe that, but Germany stopping being gay, green and woke is not bad for us, but for you.
Your entire world dominance stands on a deal that Europe will not militarise and will follow your lead.

Withdraw from NATO and withdraw all US troops from US bases in Europe and see how many days it takes Russia to conquer Europe.

@DLukinuk @sarobertsonca This is literally not a solution what so ever stop peddling this pipe dream that autonomous cars are some fix all
English
Please consider self driving cars are already here and will expand fast. Meaning robotaxi or your own car drives while you sleep for as cheap or cheaper than the high speed rail. So this will be a 90 billion waste and likely as always ballon to double or more and be virtually useless. My Tesla already drives me flawlessly to work daily. 90 billion wasted completely.

Pierre Poilievre on the Toronto–Quebec City High-Speed Rail Network: "Conservatives oppose the $90b Liberal-Alto train ... a future Conservative government will cancel this $90b boondoggle altogether."

@interestingflo @sarobertsonca First of all china exists.....and most of the Canadian population literally lives along that green line literally perfect for high speed rail corridors
English
@sarobertsonca High-speed trains are not economically viable in a country so huge and sparsely populated. We're not in Europe here…

@libertyaboveall @CountryFirstRep And yet he's not pragmatic non of his policies or decisions have shown that were literally in the middle of the least pragmatic decision one could make

@Baaaala3 @CountryFirstRep He's not an ideologue nor has he ever been.

@libertyaboveall @CountryFirstRep Wind mill cancer ,climate change denial,sinking electric boats...non of Trump's ideas speak to rationalism
English
@libertyaboveall @CountryFirstRep HIs appeal is that he diverted from the rationalism evident in candidates like McCain and Romney the folks that keep the conspiracist in line but intentionally swung for the birthers and conspiracist the literal irrationals
English
@libertyaboveall @CountryFirstRep The we will release the Epstein list policies...idiotic and idiotic beliefs that tarrifs will do anything...another WMD in the middle east...the Trump class "battleships"

@BillFredericco @politics_w_sami @PierrePoilievre The thing as been lobbied and revoid and nimbyied into oblivion it's doesn't make it a bad thing just a poorly executed one

@politics_w_sami @PierrePoilievre Look at the fraud in California over the high speed rail.

@SimcoesGraves @PierrePoilievre So your trying to bloat it into becoming a costly British HS2 aren't you in order to kill it
English
@PierrePoilievre The Alto project directly threatens countless heritage communities and productive farmland for the benefit of large multinational corporations. Its utilization will be low as the business class utilizing the path will continue to fly. Its just more Laurentians killing Canada

@betterthnthis @PierrePoilievre So your trying to bloat it into becoming a costly British HS2 aren't you in order to kill it

@PierrePoilievre Alto would bisect Ontario & QC. HSR has no level crossings and only a few overpasses. Cutting through farms, homes, access to nature and UNESCO protected environmental areas. Please look deeper than just the concept of HSR. The cost is far more than $$. Fix Via instead. #NoAlto

@sun_rise_coast @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge Limited is a strong term...limited in the joint venture sense yea but no

@Baaaala3 @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge China opened itself up to limited capital penetration in order to develop its forces of production
This is the basis of Deng Xiaoping theory

@sun_rise_coast @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge And yes you'd label Singapore as somewhat socialist and yet that is nowhere near its definition of system and definers state-led capitalist model. It combines authoritarian governance with market-driven economic policies
English
@Baaaala3 @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge The US doesn't raise living standards, they've been falling since 1970s. It's a fentanyl addicted hellhole
And that's a good point about Singapore, it is somewhat socialist as well.
English
@sun_rise_coast @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge Yea I said must but America is an example of ramping over the other edge...I said must governments anyways
English
@sun_rise_coast @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge Yes but ironically one of those low wage exploitive factories that take part in this global imperialism are in china member of the world trade organization and intentionally feeds and actively profits from the zio-us empire
English
@Baaaala3 @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge Imperialism isn't just "colonial extraction". Read Lenin
It is export of finance monopoly capital
For example putting Swedish IKEA factories in low wage countries
And not just that, they are advanced nodes in the network of global imperialism led by the Zio-US empire
English
@sun_rise_coast @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge Once again almost every government aims to raise their living standards its the definition of the social contract...the whole model deng replicates was inspired from Singapore and specifically Singapore because he wanted to continue a single party system
English
@Baaaala3 @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge How is the CPC controlled by profit motive?
It is controlled by the Chinese people and has been raising their living standard and protecting their sovereignty
English
@sun_rise_coast @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge The Chinese Communist Party isn’t directly profit-driven but the system it runs clearly is. Growth targets, export performance, and firm profitability are central to policy decisions and evaluations
English
@sun_rise_coast @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge Quoting Joseph Stalin doesn’t resolve the definition problem it reinforces it. Just like how the Nordic states fall short their fourth you won't consider it socialism so does china
English
@Baaaala3 @JRUrbaneNetwork @liminaldoge Absolutely not. Nordic countries still have private control of the means of production and their main source of wealth is from imperialism
As Stalin said, social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism
