What makes you think that? Do you think we are buying made in China artillery shells? Of course the West makes its own. The main difference is that we never expected to need very many of them, because in a typical war the West has air superiority and uses bombs/rockets instead of shells.

The saddest part is that Italian farmland is quickly losing value due to climate change (especially lack of rain). Here is a great alternative source of income for farmers that will also solve the underlying problem. Instead they choose to continue to pollute.
Guessing it is common for the state department to send a representative. Perhaps the Secretary of State since it’s an important neighbour. Since it’s campaign time, you could see others going if they believe it helps their reelection bid somehow ( though I don’t know how), but it would not be unusual if only the US ambassador to Mexico is present. I don’t know of any foreign politician that attend the US presidential inauguration.
Who is this degrading to exactly?
Think of the moral boost if US/UK/France send some elite troops who can be on the ground to select targets for the new F16s.
CO2 generally is released in cycles. Wood rots, new forests grow etc. The biggest issue is that we went from slow cycles such as carbon is stored in fossil fuels that VERY slowly release CO2 through natural processes, to extremely rapid release of CO2.
Unfortunately, Israel stands to win tomorrow because right wingers that are usually antisemites, have suddenly decided that they hate Muslims more.
I hate how so many critics talk about they when criticising a political party. Get involved. Run for local office, become a part of the inside of the party. How can Democrats ever represent younger leftists, when so few of the younger leftists let their voice be heard outside of anonymous forums?
I mean that’s really not fair. If he had invested in the stock market he would have had 13 billion that could be sold at any time without any significant loss of value. On the other hand, his real estate is probably worth less than a billion in a fire sale.
She represents 20-30 percent of Republican primary voters. If Biden would cement these (HUGE if), he cannot lose the election. I don’t think you realise how thin the margins are!
Two big differences though: 1. Right now the practical benefit of having a moderate instead of an extreme GOP senator from Ohio are very small. In the end, all GOP senators will vote with the crazies. That’s of course completely different for the presidency. 2. Dems are very unlikely to win Ohio and need every advantage they can get.
I think in this case the risky strategy is completely warranted whereas in 2016 it was just stupid.

Lol at supposedly asking an open question, while simultaneously stipulating that the open rebellion cannot be mentioned. That’s not how open questions work.
