American Airlines jet aborts landing at DCA to avoid runway collision | FOX 11 Los Angeles
how many near collisions and non-fatal landing/crash incidents happen every year and how many more are we hearing about it now in media now?

probably similar thing with measles. gotta drive up the fear mongering and make it all one parties fault now.

measles cases vary greatly by year. 2012- 55 cases. 2014? 667 cases. 10x+ fold increase. WTH OBAMA! 2019? nearly 1,280 cases. very next year in 2020? only 13 cases (gee what happened that year). shit happens. statistics can be pretty random.

Ya 2020 that was the year Booger backed out of the tOSU Game claiming covid concerns. We're sure it had nothing to do with being 2-4 and losing the year before 56-27,soft. :D

What is "your reality"?  And on what is it based?

well that's obviously true, as you don't live in reality. 

If you actually watched the entire nearly 50 minute press conference- as I did- you'd notice that it all went sideways precisely because of: Zelensky. Zelensky needed to go into that meeting hat in hand, ready to charm and showing humility, deference, and gratitude. He did no such thing. He clearly does not understand the laws of power- or the concept of not biting the hand that feeds you. He acted like an entitled spoiled child or a gold digging whore who gets told no for the first time ever by her sugar daddy and throws a temper tantrum. It was honestly- fucking pathetic. And incredibly stupid. As he has just put his position of power within his own country- and perhaps even his own life at risk. Rookie move for any true seasoned statesmen- but Zelensky isn't that- he's a former tv actor. 

But would expect nothing less from Zelensky, as the guy is rumored to be a raging coke head who has banned basically all media, opposition political parties, jailed, tortured, and killed journalists (including an American citizen journalist- Gonzalo Lira) & political opponents, canceled elections, outlawed the largest religious denomination in his own country, and has enriched himself and those closest to him by syphoning off millions of dollars in the countless billions of dollars & euros in aid the US & EU have sent Ukraine. Which should not be a surprise to anyone as Ukraine has long been one of the very most corrupt countries on planet earth- and anyone who has read the Pandora Papers would see that Zelensky's name are all over them- as are his links to the corrupt oligarchs who actually own/run Ukraine- specifically Ihor Kolomoisky- who bankrolled Zelensky's 2019 presidential campaign. 

When Miss Lindsey Graham- who is the ultimate chickenhawk Ukraine war-hawk and fellator in chief of Zelensky- who has been all aboard from day one with sacrificing every last Ukrainian alive to weaken Russia in a US backed proxy war jumps ship- you done fucked up.

Eurotrash pols talking tough now. Luxembourg even put out a tweet. They have 939 people in their military and two helicopters. So cute. :043:

these EU dickwads spend more money buying Russian oil & gas than they do aid in Ukraine- last year EU countries gave 18 billion euros in aid to Ukraine....bought 22 billion euros of oil & gas from Russia. Germany for example has bought more Russian oil & gas since the war started than any other nation on earth except China. And now German politicians and major business interests are pushing the government for easement of restrictions/sanctions so they can import even more Russian oil & gas in an attempt to escape an economic recession. 

the blatant disrespect and insubordination by Eurotrash pols to their US masters is downright unacceptable. Time to dissolve NATO and let those free loading fucks go at it alone. And of course they will not because: they need cheap energy resources to keep their economies afloat and they aren't going to slash their welfare states in order to ramp up defense spending in any significant way. They have been able to build welfare states largely on the backs of having their defense subsidized by the United States. They also seem to be forgetting that the most advanced rocket, missile, satellite, drone, airplane, naval, computer, software, and AI technologies in the entire world all resides in: the United States. 

And of course this graphic below:

Sometimes I think a lot of the problems of the US are caused because we’re so Damn physically large of a country. I mean, it gives us advantages as well I suppose. I’m well aware that there are other large countries ( physically speaking ) like Canada and Russia but to be frank they just don’t have enough of a population compared to us. I’ve seen a few map overlays and Texas alone is larger than most European countries.

Mind you, I’m not advocating for splitting us up or nothing like that. Just that we should find ways to manage a little better.

And when you really think about it, things have worked out really well for US despite our size. It seems like there is just so much that every little area specliazes in. Silicone Valley and Hollywood out West. Logging in the PNW. Oil and gas in the S and SE. Financial centers in NY and Chicago. Manufacturing in the Midwest. Vermont has…errr I have no idea.
