its incredible to read how the regime has to do a hard sell on the oil companies for this. president grandpas 1989 brain does it again. oil is 50 dollars a barrel and the infrastructure is degraded and the situation completely confused and politically volatile. oil ceos not exactly excited. amazing
whatever the real reason for this was by the smart guys, the stated reason for the addled moron in charge is oil. and that's darkly funny considering we don't need it

It's 25 degrees outside.
Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!"

I am so sick of being ashamed of my country. I've been ashamed since 2001 - my whole adult life.
I'm literally sick to my stomach right now and on the verge of tears.
When will it end? How much more evil can our govt visit on its own people and the world at large before we act?

So this is stupid for a lot of reasons, but the one that strikes me the most is this: If everybody iives in one of 80 cities, who's growing and harvesting crops? Who's raising and slaughtering chickens and cows and pigs? That alone makes the whole thing ridiculous, let alone the poison vaccine shit
