This is like that one weird friend you invite over time after time and all the motherfucker can talk about is some niche subject that no one else in the room cares and would bring it up every chance they get.
Guy A: damn man I never inheritance tax would take so much from what my dad left me
Guy B: I heard in Japan its as high as 50%
Guy C: Haha no kidding, so anyways guys why do you oppose guys suck cock and slamming asses?
I'd get further on environment in the middle east than that cocaine fueled fantasy! Though I'm arguing that a lot of the shit they spend money on is stupid when they could design it better like Dubai or if that fucking wall gets build..
Don't know, they have too much money not enough brains with those projects..
Like the 'Islands' in Dubia, would've been WAY starter to carve that inland than pump up sand from the seafloor for that. Then you got more water less desert and easier to build on.

I don't get what you're saying. Those palm island things made sense, since the goal was to maximize "beachfront" property.

It didn't work, a lot of the land they created is STILL unsold, it's changed the currents and is slowly being eroded. The transportation design for the palm is a clusterfuck and they ended up cancelling a third one planned because of the outcome of the previous 2.
I swear though they made one where they cut into the land instead and THAT one actually worked out better, less costly and more population. Plus by forcing more water inland, you can better stave off desert encroachment.
Because of the natural environment of most of the middle east, better to have more water inland than more land.
I looked it up. Apparently 1 project, the middle one, Palm Jumeirah, was completed, sold, and profitable. The second one, Palm Jebel Ali, was in construction when the 2008 financial crisis hit and frozen from that time. The third one had very little work done but is being slowly built out over time, not as residential.
Or maybe the facts don't fit your hypothesis because Putin doesn't want a weak, stupid United States. Maybe his problem isn't with the United States but with the Democrats and their regime change fetish.
Except the Democrats and this administration are literally the reason he invaded in the first place.
Look up all the shit around the Euromaiden coup and Obama and Nuland's meddling that led to this mess, watch Hilary's presidential campaign where one of her goals was a no fly zone in Syria and to shoot down Russian planes. Look up the diplomatic wire leaks where other countries and our own intelligence agencies were warning against all the shit we were doing and that we couldn't keep fucking with the Russians in their backyard forever.
The Democrats have been doing this shit for over a decade now, Putin didn't literally just wake up one morning and decide to invade Ukraine for no reason at all no matter how much you go to bat for them.
Except the Democrats and this administration are literally the reason he invaded in the first place.
Yes... because Biden showed weakness in Afghanistan.
He didn't invade during Trump's presidency because either he thought Trump was too much of a wildcard or - if you believe Trump - Trump said he would bomb Moscow.
All the more reason why backing Trump was not the wise move.
Look up all the shit around the Euromaiden coup and Obama and Nuland
yeah bro I don't need to "look up" Russian state media propaganda and lies. You don't know anything but the bullshit you've seen repeated in this sub.
Euromaidan was the true democratic will of the Ukrainian people, and Viktor Yanukovych was a russian puppet.
Euromaidan started out as protests. Then Yanukovych stupidly acted like an authoritarian and started having security forces violently attack the protestors plus outlawing protest with "Dictatorship Laws". This only caused the protests to get bigger.
Police then killed over 100 protestors by opening fire on them. Protestors produced proof of Russian involvement in suppressing them by sending MVD soldiers. Security forces repeatedly used arson against buildings used by the protestors.
The repressive government collapsed because, as is commonly the case, high ranking members of the government became disgusted with the wanton murder of protestors & resigned or otherwise defected such that the government lost its ability to continue to escalate with violence. Thus, on 2/21/14, the Yanukovych was forced to compromise after having refused to negotiate up to that point.
Yanukovych & his top allies then - despite the situation having been resolved - immediately fled to Putin. Not because he feared for his life, but rather because he wanted Putin to back his restoration as a dictator.
So that's the true story I had to educate you on. feel free to look it up on wikipedia and elsewhere, just don't think the Russia bots in this sub screeching MUH NULAND are telling you the truth. Their only evidence is a wiretapped phone call where Nuland discusses who she thinks the best candidates are for the new government in a context that makes it clear that the US was not involved at all.
Euromaidan was the true democratic will of the Ukrainian people
The Kievan people. Nobody on this site should be in favour of this when our own capitals - London, Washington, etc - have the same demographic vulnerability. Democracy means everyone's vote counts equally, not just those sitting at the foot of the seat of power.
Kiev was the center of protest but subsequent elections have confirmed that all of Ukraine outside of the Donbas & Crimea turned against Russia.
The "pro Russia" vote was only 13% at most in later presidential & parliamentary elections, and most of that vote came from the Donbas areas affected by the war.
Trump getting the EU to actually increase its defense spending is directly bad for Putin, though. You say they never will, but they've started to increase it.
Even if the US pivots to China - which we should - it won't really make any difference for Putin since if anything the US presence in the EU just keeps them atrophied & weak.
why is our foreign policy nothing but faggotry?

I don't think they're really going to build that wall thing. It's all just a stunt.

“Miss me with that gay shit, infidel!”
This is why I always thought it was hilariously stupid for Putin to back Trump, and common sense for the Chinese to back the Democrats.
You want a weak, hopelessly stupid United States? You back the Democrats.
Or maybe the facts don't fit your hypothesis because Putin doesn't want a weak, stupid United States. Maybe his problem isn't with the United States but with the Democrats and their regime change fetish.
He pretty obviously does, since the US - no matter who is in charge - is going to oppose him invading people.
Except the Democrats and this administration are literally the reason he invaded in the first place.
