    The Common Paths by Autocratic Aggressor States to their Wars of Aggression and Conquest

    August 1st 1941. The Japanese move into southern Indochina triggered both an asset freeze and the oil embargo. It was an unforced error by the administration. FDR and Hull had made it clear they wanted to keep shipping oil and gasoline to Japan and only squeeze Japan sufficiently that it could...

    The Common Paths by Autocratic Aggressor States to their Wars of Aggression and Conquest

    I usually don't enjoy entering into a long string of quibbling, but what the heck? Was the second Sino Japanese war a cause of WW2? Was it an underlying reason for, or the motivation behind, WW2? Well yes and no. The second war Sino war was "caused" by the first Sino war and that, in turn...

    SOTH Johnson finally signals his support for Ukrainian funding. All hell 'bout to break loose within the crazy ass Putin supporting Republican Party.

    I agree, at least to the extent that in spite of his history of anti-Ukraine voting prior to speakership, he is now increasingly aware that if Ukraine falls then the GOP will be blamed - not unlike the blame, be it unfair or not, that was leveled at the Truman administration over "losing China"...

    SOTH Johnson finally signals his support for Ukrainian funding. All hell 'bout to break loose within the crazy ass Putin supporting Republican Party.

    There has been so many false flags and false hopes regarding the funding of Ukraine I have not bothered to keep informed on the speaker and various efforts to get around his slow walking of aid. However, it appears to me that Johnson's visit with Trump got Trump's nod of approval - exactly why...

    US to grow at double the rate of G7 peers this year, says IMF

    Tell us why you don't understand the term "inflation" and its impact (17%) over the last three years vs a real BUT LAGGING wage increase. Assuming that your canard over a "real wage" was an error let's try an elementary example, using nominal growh earnings (which it is adjusted for...

    US to grow at double the rate of G7 peers this year, says IMF

    Oh yes, do let us "Cheer up. After all, It took FOUR YEARS, to obtain a measly gain of 1.7% in real earnings for the median household. So, for an entire household, which can include two or more wage earners, the household's average gain per year was a whopping .425%? And when you add in the...

    SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in the Fischer appeal case on Tuesday

    And they should be skeptical, especially Gorsuch who has, at least when he chooses to be idiosyncratic, overturned the government because of ambiguous or inexact language in particular kinds of cases. Section 1512(c) provides: Whoever corruptly— (1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a...

    US to grow at double the rate of G7 peers this year, says IMF

    Idiotic cheerleading. Somehow you left out the fact that we've also paid a price paid for that growth, 17% inflation over three years (uncompounded) vs the normal rate of 6% over the same time period. And for those of us whose major budget items are the basics, such as food, it is even worse...

    Americans should not forget the important thing about trump's criminal trial

    Yep. The process is punishment. For example, while it was obvious that Tom Delay was not guilty under the Texas law as then written (regarding funding) it took years of appeals to finally get his conviction struck down (twice). In the meantime, full acquittal didn't matter, his legislative...

    Americans should not forget the important thing about trump's criminal trial

    One has to compliment the poster for his honesty in knowing that there were no significant violations of the law he is willing to admit this is a political hit job, albeit for him as justified because there are no other laws broken. This aspect is worth a closer look than the poster gives it...

    SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in the Fischer appeal case on Tuesday

    No, he didn't have to go through a breach, knowingly or otherwise. As already noted, there is video showing that some doors were opened to the public, and folks let in by staff, even showing folks walking single file following the velvet rope queue bollards set up by that staff. To charge...

    SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in the Fischer appeal case on Tuesday

    Are we? There is clear statutory law that addresses both incitements to riot and insurrection, both which involve violence or incitement to violence. Yet neither the adversarial administration-'s DOJ and nor federal proscutors federal grand juries have charged him with either crime. Now why is...

    SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in the Fischer appeal case on Tuesday

    Yes, the issue is over those who were not violent and who were inappropriately charged and prosecuted. For example, were those folks who stood in line and were let into the building by officers and/or staff, were those folks also prosecuted? Did, for example, buffalo man attack or even...
