What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

I thought the whole point was for Europe to free itself from Russian dependence?

This is the old time Eastern Chess players that are playing against the bubble wrapped generation trying to figure out checkers in the West. Also in headlines today, the Chinese just dropped $2 Billion on the Waldorf in New York. A little gift to itself for becoming the worlds biggest economy after just 20 years of really trying.

For those that can't see what's happening, the rest of the world, with some naive help from the left and bonus hungry corporation, are sucking the blood out of the US economy, building up their own wealth and then carving off the parts they want. This buying of our resource rights, strategic companies and technology is much much cheaper than starting WW3 and they get to profit from these assets rather than trying to turn them to ash.

When the corpse is full of debt and lacking in buying power they will pull the necessary economic levers and watch the US implode. Russia already tried to convince China to push the button with them, but China and it's parasite allies inside America aren't done feeding off the middle class guts yet.

The wests conversion to green energy was so destructive that all Russia had to do was sit back and marvel at the stupidity of the warmists and their rush to eliminate anything related to fossil fuels in a effort to fight a non existing problem . Might as well sell the storage facilities because Russia already controls the content. It also controls the thermostats across Europe because a cold winter would prove green energy as useless, and Putin knows it.

Americans did this to themselves by demanding cheap stuff. To produce the cheap stuff the companies moved their production to Asia where labor is cheap, unions don't exist, workers live in barracks, and there are no environmental controls to stop pollution. Americans can't grasp why their friends and neighbors are unemployed when the company they worked for shuts down, since it's products are now made in Asia. Americans have this foolish notion that they are entitled to low prices and high wages. Are Canadians any different? You decide.

They could have payed a little more for good quality 'Made in USA', and kept their neighbors employed, but they're not very smart at that sort of thing. China plays Go; America plays checkers, badly.

China is buying American real estate at 10 cents on the dollar. The newly minted Chinese upper middle class will move to America and set up shop. China conquered America in the aisles of MalWart, without ever firing a shot or destroying any real estate.

I'm buying stock in gun powder n lead!!!

It is, to me, interesting that BASF is in this deal but not surprising. They have had interesting partnerships in the past; BASF was the controlling partner in a large chemical conglomerate named IG Farben some years ago. And one of the companies under that umbrella was Degussa (now Evonik-Degussa)- manufacturer of a pesticide known as Zyglon B.

In the last couple of days I read the USA is now self sufficient in oil ..... also an article that Europe is softening their stance against Alberta Tar Sands oil and are considering importing some now .... there is still HOPE the world has come to its senses after the global warming debacle !!!!

the main reason this country is going downhill is that libs/progressives/dems have become cultural marxists and should be locked away in mental institutions, just check this video to see the level of their insanity.

The contentious $15.1-billion takeover of Canadian oil and gas company Nexen Inc. by Chinese state-owned entity CNOOC Ltd closed on Monday, more than seven months after China’s largest-ever foreign takeover was announced.

Maybe the UK will be invaded & spared Muslim rule if Russia takes them over.

Maybe Europe needs to freeze in the dark to unfcuk itself. And it's the Germans.. expect nothing less. I swear we'd be better off if the Enola Gay had toured Berlin and Moscow.

You have a nice day now.

Americans didn't cause unions. Posted by: Watto

You might want to read up on the history of the union movement in America.

Unions are now redundant, legislation guarantees what unions once fought for. Now unions only reward mediocrity and stifle merit. Unions in N.America are a concept long past it's 'best before date'.
