Well done Nancy Pelosi.

[Koldo]

Must? No. Be even characterising Taiwan a 'a nation' would be seen as an act of political aggression.

Not characterising it as a nation would also be seen the same way...
So... *shrugs*

By who?

And, to be clear, I'm not arguing it shouldn't be done. Only that the people doing these things need to do them with consideration of consequence. My assumption is that Pelosi did indeed do this with consideration of consequence, fwiw.

As far as that expansionist dictator Putin who is trying to create a Greater Russia with all the land of the Soviet Union (and maybe more) goes, absolutely no land grabs on that part of the dark and evil person can be called "Prudent". His actions follow the pattern of Adolf Hitler in grabbing land although the times and schedule is different since all out war would destroy the world.

The Ukraine people must regain all the land that Putin stole from them as must all the other nations he's done land grabs on. The fight against him must continue until victory is achieved and the US must do ever more to help the brave Ukrainian people to a total victory.

You seem to be very affected by mainstream media.
Do yourself a favor and read from multiple sources, it will help you to make better judgements.

I don't know what you mean about "cookies".

That is one of the most sarcastic events and proof that it all started with the US:

You have got some really bizarre idea of what constitutes a proper justification to go to war, it is no surprise I don't agree with you. To you, it is enough if there is a potential of some threat in the far horizon and mutual destruction isn't assured...

And even worse, you think that any movement, no matter how small, towards that horizon is what actually counts as starting the war.

Hah, you tell that to G. Bush who falsely claimed Iraq has WMD just to justify war.
He succeeded to make justification but there is no honor in such wars.

Yeah, because $4-$5/gallon priced gas is too darn cheap in order to incentivize motorists switching from driving internal combustion engine powered cars to driving electric vehicles priced ten thousand dollars more to buy than the purchase price of an equally accelerable, comparable sized and similar aged internal-combustion engine powered vehicle. I can't wait until the price of gas becomes $10 per gallon, meaning an owner of a gas-powered vehicle consuming on average 33 miles per gallon would travel only 33,000 miles until spending $10,000 on gas, this then costing more than the additional purchase price of a vehicle propelled directly with electricity generated by a battery instead of a vehicle being propelled by an eternal combustion engine.

Not my problem.

People don't want crappy golf carts to drive. It's as simple as that.

Make it on par or better instead, rather than whining that fuel prices are too low just so authoritarians can force their mandates on people.

No. Bush didn't lie.

There was ample evidence that Iraq was shipping them to Syria prior to the war.

And you take this for granted?

I take it as a fact.

Fine then, don't get an E.V., I hope hardly anybody else gets an E.V., so then I won't have to wait in line for charging up my E.V.!
