Stop, no. Don’t do it. You’ll make billionaires mad bro don’t do it.

And the US depends on China.

They literally can’t. Nor can the US dump theirs.

The US, the EU, and China are economically tied to one another. One of the reasons there hasn’t been a shooting war between the East and West is how much we depend on the other’s economy. Without foreign backed assets, there’s nothing to trade against.

Chinese made goods are bought with American dollars. If they’re not putting them back in to the US, there’s no need to take them in the first place. And then who, exactly, would China be making all that crap for?

Sounds like something someone who would want to hide the Epstein files would say

Lobster is only ok. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything with lobster in it that wasn’t independently good, or improved in any meaningful way with lobster.

That said, when lobster was viewed the way you’re describing, it was seen as more of a pest. There was so much lobster freely available, it was literally piling up on beaches. No one was fishing for lobsters, they were just scooping them up and then making a rather revolting stew with them. That was being served to prisoners as a form of penance, meant to be bland and unstimulating. Sandy guts and all.

What part of “government terrified of successful socialist country” didn’t make sense to you?

The US has actively been sabotaging Cuba for 70 years. The fact that they’re doing as well as they are speaks volumes about how well they’d be doing without a super power trying it’s hardest to drive them in to obscurity.

Ah. Now it makes sense.

The amount of oil in a single tanker isn’t likely to affect the US market much. But preventing Cuba from having access to oil would look pretty attractive to a government that’s terrified of a successful socialist nation

Every once in a while a story like this gets published and it occupies the news cycle for a little bit. They always end up being nothing.

A few years ago Putin was reportedly on his death bed. Prior to that he had aggressive Parkinson’s and would resign in 6 months.

I suspect this is just a smoke screen for something else.

No one is taking nitrates away from you.

Why am I seeing so many comments with the word removed? Is there some filter in this instance tagging very specific words?

This strongly worded letter is going to do it this time guys I swear
