Starship was never really designed to land astronauts on the moon. Elon has managed to scam NASA and the US taxpayer out of billions to fund his private need to deploy Starlink satellites on the pretense that it is helping the manned lunar mission.

Well, it is, but apparently it requires 25 refueling trips after it reaches orbit before actually setting off for the moon, which is supposed to happen I think in 2027. Seems a bit over optimistic.

This guy talked tough when he was at his post in China. Now that he's stepped down, he really loosened the belt on his inner thoughts, and showed us he's quite sensible and not just some idiot Captain America type. I wonder what Bessent will say when he's done. Reveals that these Americans will absolutely do a job on an empty shell mindset with as much belief and conviction as a man told he's supposed chop down a tree by staring at it really hard.

That is what I thought about this American ambassador to China. I thought he was a sharp guy, but when he was posted there, he always said the most inane crap possible.

Now he reveals what he really thinks. Which is the opposite of what he said while in his official capacity as a diplomat.

In other words, all he ever did was tow the party line!

Now here is the part, where it all breaks down, American style in my opinion.

We ask the simple question, what is the party line?

Everyone knows what that is, the Biden party line is keep China down and have America be number #1.

Of course, the following question, given world events of the past few years, how are the Americans going to keep China down with policies that do not work?!

At this point, given how these containment efforts have failed, some more badly than others, there is not much else to say, so the Americans retreat back to the party line.

It is so immature. It is so American. DemoRATS or Repukeiacans, all the same.

That is why President Trump is kind of refreshing. He does not care about towing the party line. Then he works for it, and against it, before finally settling back into the comforts of the party line!

It is so immature. It is so American. DemoRATS or Repukeiacans, all the same.

:D

:oops:

Long video, 1 hour lecture/talk, about the current American international relations.

There was a very good part around the beginning talking about the past, regarding Wolfowitz. If we do not know who Wolfowitz was, then you should watch that part of the video.

Then the rest of the talk was interesting I thought.

The difference between guaranteed government purchasing and price floor is, you can prevent anyone from listing prices below a certain amount, but you can't force anyone to buy them at that price.
