@lisathebeauty1 Property taxes go up. Rent is break even for most landlords. The first several years after purchasing a rental property are often rented out at a net loss. It's a long strategy with small margins and profits are in the economics of scale.
@BraddrofliT Yeah. They knew the US had a shorter window to act and wanted to be able to defend themselves after the US is forced to retract. Makes sense but the US is always getting ripped off.
@arkangyle@caitoz Yes it does. Absolutely. This is not a question of whether they have the right to host Iranian drones. They do.
The US is responding to threats now that were ignored in the past and it was not smart to host Iranian drones and generals right now under this scenario.
@caitoz Yeah I get the whole "WMD in Iraq" angle but Cuba is seriously screwed. Not only are they screwed but we have chosen the "escalate to de-escalate" path towards WW3. Cuba is a loose cannon here in that geopolitical ball of yarn
I truly think the people of Cuba are suffering too
@MattH_4America If Iran gets one, non-proliferation is dead. The world will end. It will be peak human stupidity.
This is the hill we all die on, inaction becomes unsurvivable within 20 years.
@raefejenkins Ever heard of the petrodollar? We were rushing towards a cliff that seemed unavoidable and now OPEC just fractured, and the US is indispensible for global oil again.
That will be a big deal for the next 50 years.
@VictorSfor92210@DemoLady7@DNIGabbard Domination is literally subjugation. We have not subjugated anyone here.
Mrs. Gabbard followed what she believed and took action on what she felt was just. She will be there for her husband in his final days. Agree with her or not but she has proven her character.
@JamesVeriton@DemoLady7 The US people are their own authors. That's what it means. You have the power to matter, that makes you dangerous. That is freedom, even when you get a ticket for a seatbelt violation you are still free. The contrast is extreme between what liberties we have vs the Cubans.
@DemoLady7 Yes, I think they will be able to own their own chickens after we are done.
The Iranians admitted that the nuclear material is the "last line of defense." They claimed that in negotiation.
Venezuala is already healing. It's reflected in latest economic data.
@BeingJWood Reversed the collapse of the petrodollar? Broke OPEC? Establish the US as the cornerstone of the entire global oil supply?
I thought we were screwed for years, somehow Trump did the impossible and flipped the table.
@HouseDemocrats Hard to imagine he reversed the collapse of the petrodollar and made the entire world dependant on US oil.
Like him or hate him doesn't matter. Your children will still be reaping the benefit from these moves after 50 years.
Global realignment and US is on top.
@NotAvgLiberal They were retrofitting the fscilities at Fordow and Isfahan, sat images showed the construction.
To go from 60% to 90% enrichment is trivial, and can be done en mass-on demand. Just requires re-tooling (construction).
So what do you think...
@MichaelTLester This is like saying, "Why do we go to war against the people of an enemy nation?" "They are probably good people who don't want to be at war at all."
It's true, and still it is what it is. Cuba is an enemy nation. The people of Cuba deserve better.
