Exactly, The collapse of the Soviet Union was the scrapping off the scab of their hatred of each other. Russia left the Serbs in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if a person says this is a good thing it would appear they do not support freedom of religion. Now it has been said China isnt covered by our constitution, yet if I said I like UK gun laws would I not be called an Anti-2nd person? So how can a person say this is good and also support what our constitution says if they claim to be a strict constitutionlist? This is not a troll or an attack but a question regarding what was previously said on here. I believe the point you are missing is that The US Constitution pertains solely to The USA. The fact that there are other sovereign nations in the world that do not have their laws set up like ours is unfortunate for the populations of those countries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if a person says they agree with China doing this are they in favor or freedom of religion? I would simply say that it is unfortunate that their citizens do not have the freedoms & Rights that we as Americans enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see this until I went to the 5th page. So consider it done. As I said in the China and Christians thread this is what Socialists and Communists do. China hasn't been a fully Communist country since the 80's, and it will happen here if people keep voting for Regressive Socialist Democrats.

DaveTV1 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I think their forward thinking is sort of misguided, while those cities will have inhabitants one day, you have to have people living there to maintain them otherwise they will rot and deteriorate. Just go through many Ghost Towns of America, and you'll see the decay and them being reclaimed by the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryLaverty Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 So, cheaper at the pump, but less profit for oil companies? https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/oil-dragged-u-china-trade-165345157.html Oil dragged into U.S.-China trade war, prices slump By Devika Krishna Kumar,Reuters Fri, Aug 23 11:53 AM CDT The sun sets behind a pump-jack outside Saint-Fiacre By Devika Krishna Kumar NEW YORK (Reuters) - China threatened to impose tariffs on U.S. crude oil for the first time in the escalating bilateral trade war, sending prices to two-week lows on Friday as that compounded worries about a slowdown in global oil demand. China said crude would be among the U.S. products hit by tariffs of 5% as of Sept. 1. U.S. President Donald Trump said he would offer a response later on Friday. A trade spat between the world's two largest economies has dragged on for over a year and roiled financial markets. Though Chinese and U.S. trade negotiators held discussions as recently as this week, neither side appears ready to make a significant compromise and there have been no signs of a near-term truce. China, one of the world's biggest crude importers, has sharply lowered U.S. shipments from a record high hit last year. With the latest tariffs, purchases are likely to grind to a complete halt, traders and analysts said. A shale boom has helped the United States become the world's largest oil producer, ahead of Saudi Arabia and Russia, and exports have surged to a record above 3 million barrels per day (bpd) after a ban was lifted in late 2015. "The tit for tat trade war now has the oil market officially caught in the crossfire, this time with China striking the heart of Trump's traditional base of support of U.S. oil producers," said Michael Tran, director of energy strategy at RBC Capital Markets in New York. "With China being the world's foremost crude import growth region, U.S. producers need China, not the other way around," he said. "The U.S. will have to find alternative buyers for their crude, which will be a challenge given the weakening global demand backdrop." U.S. shipments to China have made up about 5% of total U.S. crude exports on average so far this year, according to data from the Department of Energy. U.S. crude futures slumped as much as 3.5% to $53.40 a barrel on Friday, the lowest since Aug. 9. The rising trade war is likely to weigh on U.S. crude more than international benchmark Brent, market sources said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryLaverty Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 OH, not showing pity for 'Big Oil' but know plenty of people who work in O and G that could be impacted by a hard drop in prices. I live with working people, not people who own the companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
