The facts are the facts. If your analysis bears out to reality, then you have understood reality better.

If you understood and said what the covid lies were and are, then you know what it's about. If you don't admit that at this point, you are delusional. If you saw that "inflation is transitory" was false, and it now is a known fact, you have understood what was going on and you still do. If you see what Ukraine was and still is (a slush fund and constant dumping of more money to do nothing but enrich more pols while more Ukrainians die), you understand reality better.

If you posted all these things and are right, what's the issue? The lack of humility for those who were dead wrong about them. A truth seeker would admit the facts, adapt his worldview, and change to make better predictions and analysis. That is rarely seen in the modern day, and is sadly quite rate here as well.

The truth seeker would be thankful for the correction. The ego is what gets in the way.

How do you assess the Pacific front and the European action's effect on the Pacific side? Are they thinking twice after seeing strength or waiting for our strength to be diminished sufficiently? Thanks for the update and please try more frequently if you get the chance.

I think that the Chinese would like to fully assess what happened in Ukraine and why, and then make adjustments to their tactics and strategy.

But I think that their hand will be forced once the economic crisis hits, and they will attempt to blame that on America and then try to divert attention by actually engaging militarily.

The two things that I am waiting for to happen next are:
1. A major economic crisis
2. Major political upheaval in the USA

The underpinnings of an economic crisis are currently present. Anything can tip things, as was seen in the UK over the last couple of weeks. The current ratcheting up of interest rates coupled with the massive amounts of government, corporate and private debt make such a crisis inevitable. We are just waiting for the spark that sets off the whole room filled with gasoline vapor.
(And as bad as it will be for the US, it will be much much worse for China)

I think that the major political upheaval will come when the government arrests Trump. He will call on his ardent supporters to riot and disrupt the government, which they will undoubtedly do. This will make it look to China like the US is in chaos (which it could very well be) and that they can attack while the US is distracted by internal disorder.

Both of these things can happen now at any time.

Thank you for your reply. I agree that the time of waiting is coming to an end. However the conflict evolves, how can we imagine the effects on ourselves and families? Your book is sobering and helpful for that purpose.
The semiconductor CHIPS ACT put into practice should act as major catalyst. It might be the blame for annexing Taiwan.
Election interference is an excellent method to undermine democracy. We know they're doing it. The markets are under extreme duress presently. We could have a contested election with crashing markets, partial bank holidays and even a nuclear strike on the other side. I'm hoping it gets pushed back to next year for more time to prepare. It's getting stressful. Thanks for your help!

Hmm…. He tried to secure the border with a few miles of wall which Mexico did not pay for? He wants America to be respected by being Putin’s close buddy? He wants the constitution to be followed by organizing a violent insurrection? He wants to control what happens to minor children by separating them from their parents? He wants to F*** everyone, then claim she is not his type afterwards?

If you want to misrepresent folks one can, but Trump makes it easy.

Bob, the reason you get slammed so often on this board is your inability to use reason and logic. Hence Spotty's reply.

You state that the ONLY reasons to favor Trump is that you are either racist or trying to impose your religious belief on others.

First: "Trump Supporters are Racist". Some may be, but all are NOT. To label them so is no different than the erroneous statement that "All people of some ethnicity are thieves and murderers". But you did give yourself an out, you said Either they are Racist OR they are religious zealots tantamount to the Taliban. No other options. BTW, I have never seen any kind of hard evidence that Trump himself is racist, only Leftists claiming that he is.

Second: "Trump Supporters want to Force their Religious Values on Others". Well, guess what, I like that we have laws against Murder, Theft and Perjury. Where do these values come from? The 10 commandments. They, in fact, are the basis of the laws that have kept civil order. I bet even you like such laws. Isn't that imposing morality on others?

The Vast Majority of those who are religious merely want to exercise Freedom of Religion. And, BTW, most of them see Abortion as Murder (see above for forcing the morality of not KILLING on others).

It is in fact the LEFT that wants to use Force to stop others from exercising Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion (among others). Just look at college campuses and what they are doing.

Many conservatives followed Trump because he stated that he wanted to do the things Spotty mentioned. NOT because of what you think motivated them.

Well said, Navi.

Why is there so much public discussion on China invading Taiwan "before the end of the year" ? Do the PTB know something that we don't?

And John, thank you for everything.

Thanks, Navigator.
I have been trying to tell that to BB but it is like talking to a brick wall.
