The anti War candidate launches full scale attack on Yemen.

The global economy effects me most stuff I buy is made in other countries.

Especially things I need most like my food supply since I eat a lot of vitamin and mineral supplements for my health.

My child should go halfway around the world and risk life and limb so you can get Arabian vitamins?

I can live without chickpeas. But I don't have to. Dude, they grow those in Montana now. The best extra virgin oil available in the U.S. is pressed from Texas olives. This is America we're talking about. Anything anyone anywhere can grow, we grow too.

We grow everything but up. You're making excuses for your cult leader trying to start WWIII for Israel. Your victim cards (I'm such a hypochondriac I need Persian vitamins!) are invalid. Stop acting like a liberal prog.

If there's one thing Americans get plenty of, it's food to get fat on. We don't need anybody's help with that. Start making sense.

I would buy American sourced vitamins and mineral and food supplements if I could but I cant so I dont.

Nobody forces your child to do anything like that. We haven't drafted anyone since Vietnam.

I pay my taxes and your kid can voluntarily sign up for the military to protect our national interests. We have a professional military because it makes us less likely to go to war because it's so powerful.

There's been a few odd cases here and there where the government has approached people for their ability in special fields but nothing like serving on a ship to protect our economic interests.

I notice you're perfectly content to force my great-great-great-grandchildren yet unborn to pay for it.

Care to tell us what vitamins Persia and Arabia provide you that require the gross breaches of ethics and insane expenses that this imperialism entails? Vitamin G For Gasoline, perhaps? Maybe I can turn you onto another source who will sell them to you voluntarily.

I sure wish anthropologists would discover how the human species managed to survive all those millenia before we developed enough to go fight Crusades to spread Catholicism and steal rare but vital Arabian Mystery Vitamins.

No wonder this empire is about to come crashing down.

It's other people who seek to dominate your family not me.

I don't want anyone to dominate us.

That's our motto "Out of many, one."

Its from Cicero's paraphrase of Pythagoras in his De Officiis, as part of his discussion of basic family and social bonds "When each person loves the other as much as himself, it makes one out of many (unum fiat ex pluribus), as Pythagoras wishes things to be in friendship."

You want me and mine to finance the shipping costs of your alleged, rare Vitamin Aladdin.

unum fiat ex pluribus

Catchy. Sounds like a commercial for diversity, though. I always preferred the Monroe Doctrine.

The phrase has its origins in the creation of our United States when we rebelled against the king.

It means that we are no longer subjects of a king and that we shall not be dominated by a king or ruler. That's what it meant in 1776 and that's what it means today. Truly free people are a minority in the world.

That's an amusing theory. According to this artifact from 1853, obviously written by people for people who were much closer to the source than we are (some of which could have lived long enough to have witnessed that fateful 1776 committee meeting), it means that thirteen colonies fight better as a unit than separately. That's the theory that always worked for me--many colonies/states, one country. I don't think e pluribus unum really needs revisionist history. Especially not yours, which is silly on the face of it--that motto was discussed before we succeeded in kicking King George III out.

Now tell the truth. Do you really think any of that has anything to do with us protecting shipping lanes in the Red Sea, far from any of our territories?

Well our birds got sick so we are having to source eggs from places like Turkey and our orange trees got sick so we are having to source Vitamin C from China.

I buy everything locally and depend on my local grocery store to source necessary food.

So I depend on being able to have access to trade with other nations when there is a shortage.

I know in the past we would just have a famine and die because we can't get basic foods like eggs or oranges because of acts of god.

My body can't produce it's own Vitamin C. It stopped doing that millions of years ago. Without it I will get sick.

I definitely can't live on this territory under a famine.

I have seen what famine does in modern history. People start eating eachothers kids and eat their parents.

Can I please have access to trade with other nations for things I need? Or is that too much to ask for?

 

[acptulsa]

Well our birds got sick...

Did they? Who says? The very government you're trying to make immune from any ethical considerations at all?

If the birds got sick, what from? Something bioengineered against its own laws by the very government you're trying to make immune from any ethical considerations at all?

In the immortal words of your buddy Swordsmyth, cry me a river. What you're advocating for is still unnecessary, insanely reckless and just plain wrong -- whether or not the government you revere made it inconvenient for you to find alternatives by doing other stuff that was unnecessary, insanely reckless and just plain wrong.

Is free trade too much to ask for? If I have to subsidize your shipping costs, it isn't free and neither am I. You know, they grow more chickens in Brazil than in the whole middle east region. What's wrong? Did your tinpot god slap tariffs on them?

Vitamin C. Citrus isn't even native to the Levant--not oranges, not limes, nothing. They couldn't even begin to grow it themselves until they imported it. God help us if the world is ever dependent solely on Arabian citrus. Got any more jokes to tell?

Well I'd like to have multiple sources for other things I need to live as well, in case the source I have collapses.

I don't want to be dependent on one source for things I need just in case something bad happens.

Can we hire people to protect shipping things we need from sources around the globe just in case we need them?

Can those people stop people from removing those sources so that supply chains don't collapse and the price I have to pay to live doesn't increase so dramatically that I get sick and my family dies because of it?

We could pay them enough to where they willingly sign up to do it? That sounds fair.

 

[acptulsa]

Well I'd like

I don't want

Can we hire people

Go for it. Just stop extorting me for the cost, making me share the bad karma, and expecting me to be as impressed by the Mossad propaganda as you seem to be. Because until you do, you're just another liberal progressive stealing my hard earned money and using it to make you feel better about yourself by ruining innumerable people's lives.

 

[Todd]

I think that groups of people use asymmetric warfare against us especially our economic interests because they want to dominate us and the reason why they don't dominate us is because we won't let them.

It's like those people who are attacking Tesla cars so they lose value to hurt Elon Musk. They do that because they want to dominate Elon Musk.

If people couldn’t collectively form little groups and then use the law to force domination on others then there wouldn’t be any need hurt someone. Or it would be much more limited

Well we have a lot of smart people here maybe we could make it to where the cost isn't cheap but it's more profitable for our nation to have access to trade with more people so it pays for itself.

We could even make it to where when you contribute to pay for the biggest guns in the world that protect you from the biggest guns in the world the people who operate those guns work for you.

You could even tell bad people not to use the biggest guns to mass murder billions of people and they would have to listen to you so you could prevent it from happening.

Maybe we could even make it to where our nations trade and investments improve the lives of billions of people and helps lift them out of poverty.

When free people form governments to provide for a national defense they can create free markets. There isn't a free market in a power vacuum.

You still think the Arab world just engages in international terror because of the West sitting back and our inaction globally?

SMH.

9/11 was obviously an inside job, with Izrael playing a major role.

As more time passes, it's getting easier to substantiate that these "terrorist groups", from AlCIAeda to ISUS to Hamas, are controlled opposition.

The Izraelis have been openly accusing their government of orchestrating the October attack.

To the point that they have now made it illegal to question or "deny" the official story.

There's always a free market in a power vacuum. That's the only kind of market in a power vacuum.

Israeli citizens & a lot of his GOV want Netanyahoo out of power & he is so desperate to stay, he slaughters the weak *palestine* & stays in power

F&er has done this over & over & over

It's as bad as it can get

You're falling for the same psyop that would have you believe that the American people want DOGE to stop.

The globalist left astroturf want Netanyahu gone and the Israeli Supreme court dictatorship to go unchallenged.

Netanyahu is not a good guy, but he's the least bad guy over there and he has the right enemies.
