Yeah, I knew that. I meant a warrant issued from the ICC to Trump, though, unless I am missing something.

We're not a signatory to that organization, so we'd spurn the summons, and very few countries would want problems with America from enforcing the warrrant.

Besides, he'd just flee to Moscow.

I see. Thanks for explaining. Still, I think Trump is the kind of person who would do the things Putin does, even if it is not all of them. To me, if we were signatory to that organization, I'd say it would have been be funny to see the ICC issue a warrant to Trump.

Nothing like that is going to happen, of course, but that thought was still funny to me.

No argument with any point you make here.

People wring their hands over the prospect of a failed russia, what if some madman gets their hands on nukes, they ask.  Already has, I think.

Growing the US economy is far more beneficial to its geopolitical hegemony.

Nope its not. You don't get to break the law, period. Are you really that dense?
Who is going to decide what's "wasting", YOU? 😂

If government is unethical, refusal to fund it is ethical
Taxpayers that believe they aren't adequately represented will make such decision. That's how the US was founded after all.

And STILL you didn't give your opinion.
But thanks for admitting you "support Putin for religious reasons" 😂😂

So, is bombing hospitals as retaliation for alleged NATO expansion ok, in your opinion? It's a simple yes/no question. Pretty easy to answer, isn't it?

You seem to have unhealthy obsession. Why does my opinion matter to you so much?

-just think, we've been doing both.  Growing our economy and helping ukraine kick russias teeth out.

There's honestly nothing worse than a foreign nutball who mainlines us reich wing propaganda.

I used it as an example. Other 2 articles are about the US.

It doesn't matter because it can't affect Russia's foreign policy. Why do you believe that foreigners can't discuss US politics?


Also, India and the United States are still two different countries, the latter which is not exporting rice or anything.
They both are market economies. The US exports plenty of goods and services including agricutlural products
Quote:And that article you posted still has nothing to do with the USA, nor does it prove anything about preventing inflation.
The article states that export restrictions were implemented to prevent inflation. You are lying now.

Quote:Since the USA does not export as much as they import, and that the USA is not even doing things in terms of exporting that affects inflation at all, your attempts at talking about inflation and the USA are heavily flawed.
The US exports as much as it imports it just happens to be the issuer of world reserve currency.

Quote:I said before that foreigners can discuss US politics if they have proper knowledge of that stuff. You seem to lack proper knowledge yourself based on your posts.[
I've provided several sources for my claims. You've provided zero sources that support any of your claims.

Bullshit. You are trying to change the topic.

Your original claim was: Tax evasion is ethical when government is spending money "wastefully", which you consider to be unethical. This is utter BULLSHIT. And you gave no other justification than to point to "no taxation without representation", which is an entirely DIFFERENT topic.
I repeat my question:Who is going to decide what "wasteful tax spending is". YOU????
