I suppose Putin will be anti-nuclear war as well when he retaliates and launches conventional cruise missiles from his subs into the middle of New York.

Everything is gambling.

Smart people just reduce risk, so they are more likely to succeed.

Yes, but its probably useless since those who didnt save up food will just steal from me  >.<

Such is the curse of successful people. Those who fail can just steal from those who succeed.

I like to say that solid investing is like poker, and speculative investing is like roulette.

What are the odds that Russia nukes Ukraine?

Many people have predicted that Russia will nuke Ukraine.

Even I have said that Russia has every incentive to nuke Ukraine if war starts going in Ukraine's favor too much.

Now, one nuke wont defeat Ukraine, but its a question of how many nukes is Putin willing to use.

This is actually true. I have taken over companies and can tell you that I take responsibility for what happens day 1. Anything bad happens it is on me. Anything good happens, that is on my team. Leaders need to take responsibility for what happens under their rule

Yes. 

He should have created more election integrity so that wasn't needed and when the left tried to stop him from shutting down the borders to prevent spread of covid19 and held "hug a Chinese man day", he should have shut down the nonsense immediately and did whatever was in his power to implement strict border control so covid 19 would have stayed outside of America and not impacted the economy 

You have to take responsibility for whatever happens to the ship when you are ruling over it.

Yes. 
Ok cool. Would love to know where all this was during the election we just had.

So with Trump being responsible for a tanking economy and national civil unrest... What was the argument for why he should get a second term?

Because he was the only one running who wasn't a deep state stooge and the harris administration was far worse, which is why I  had disposable income in 2017 but now I have to work hard to maintain a comfortable lifestyle

So a delusional conspiracy theory, that's your big reason?

Well, at least you adapted your talking point from how great things were for you in 2016, moving that line back to 2017 just so you can give Trump the credit.

As I've pointed out to deaf ears on this site many times before, Trump inherited an economy that had been growing for 7 straight years and nothing changed when he took office. My 9 year old niece could have been president and everything would have been just fine. Biden inherited an economy shattered by a global pandemic which Trump terribly mismanaged. Blaming Biden for the problems it's havoc created all over the world is ridiculous.
