You left out "standing."

Giving their weapons away to a foreign country.

And it's your contention that the amount of weaponry given away constitutes "Dismantling our standing Army"?

Please list the weapons.
Please list the Army units who are now dismantled.

 

[HARK!]

Posting in this manner is deceptive.

I would agree that calling me out, by conflating my posts with the posts of another member, is a deceptive practice.

Now that we have that settled; can we get back on topic?

If Biden were so schizophrenic regarding oil we wouldn't be having such a problem.

Biden Promises ‘No More Drilling’ Just Days After Demanding More Drilling

He's been telling oil that he was going to shut them down from before he was elected. I'm wondering what kind of company would invest billions into projects that they have been told he wants to end.

And it's your contention that the amount of weaponry given away constitutes "Dismantling our standing Army"?

Good call.

Please list the weapons.

Are you suggesting that Biden didn't send our standing army's weapons to a foreign nation?

If not, you can do your own research as to what was sent.

Please list the Army units who are now dismantled.

I didn't say that the act was complete. It's a process. As to the specific units who have had weapons taken from them, to be shipped off to foreign nations, again you can do your own research.

Because of Biden's acts, we are less equipped to defend our own borders against foreign invasion.

That's your assumption and opinion based on what? How do you know military readiness against foreign invasion is less today? At least cite others with informed opinions.

I am not questioning that weapons were given to Ukraine. I am questioning your assertion that Biden is dismantling our standing army.

‘Dangerously Depleted’: The US Is Sending So Many Weapons To Ukraine That Experts Are Starting To Worry

I am not questioning that weapons were given to Ukraine. I am questioning your assertion that Biden is dismantling our standing army.

Maybe you're right. Biden hasn't cut our forces; and if they run out of modern weaponry; they could always sharpen up some wooden spears on rough rocks.

‘Dangerously Depleted’: The US Is Sending So Many Weapons To Ukraine That Experts Are Starting To Worry

From your link --

The Pentagon’s latent preparation for long-term conflict in Ukraine won’t immediately impact the progress of the war itself, as the U.S. can continue with substitutions while the defense industry catches up on production of the latest, most advanced systems, Cancian said. However, it does increase the amount of risk the U.S. takes on by sustaining lower inventories in the meantime.

“We are making real tradeoffs against other national security priorities,” Caldwell also told the DCNF.

So yes, some of our weapons inventory is low...and in the event of an armed Chinese invasion across our border that might be a concern. The fact is, no other country is in position to threaten US borders - not even China. In any case, the observation above is a far cry from "dismantling our standing army".

Texas, an oil rich Republican controlled state, with its' own power grid,

The Texas grid is the worst example for anyone to use for an example of good stewardship of an energy supply system. Shockingly poor management should not be used to bolster your case.

I agree. Again, my apologies.

Thanks Biden!

I disagree; but you still didn't answer my question.

I have literally lost count of the number of times that you have been shown that the oil companies have more leases to drill than they could possibly handle. And that Biden issued more leases than did his predecessor. And that companies have put personal profits before country.

You can continue to ignore those facts as long as you wish. The facts will remain.

Clearly Biden has done everything possible to discourage the production of oil products in this nation. Some people simply need to wake and and separate the blame game from what is happening in the real world.

 

[disciple Clint]

Did you know not that Biden was talking about coal plants with his "We're going to be shutting these plants down across America" or did you purposefully link the two sentences (about two separate topics) in a misleading way?

Because that what it looks like.

Did I write the article? If we do not like the facts we can always try to kill the messenger.

They decided that there were issues more important that elected officials needed to deal with: respect for democracy

It appears that the Democrats have been funneling money into Republican elections, in an attempt to overthrow Democracy.

Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle.

Sure...By issuing more leases to drill than the last adminstration. At the beginning of this year it was 3557 to Trumps 2658. And there are currently over 9,000 permits unused. I can't paste links this morning for some reason but just Google 'How many oil permits has Biden issued' and you'll have more than enough info.

But you won't check. You have been given this information countless times and you simply ignore it. Maybe you think it doesn't exist if you don't actually read it. Facts don't seem to matter. People are lying to you and you'd rather repeat what you are told rather than check to see if it's true.

Why not change that mindset and address what I've just posted? Confront the facts and debate them rather than constantly repeating the same baseless comments.

Texas, an oil rich Republican controlled state, with its' own power grid, leads the nation in wind power, and is quickly expanding in solar power.

Whut? @Larnievc is showing you that renewables are the way to go and you refute that by telling us that Texas is leading the nation in wind power and is heading in just the direction that he was suggesting.

Was that meant as a rebutal? Because it sure looks to me like complete agreement. You can't say something is bad and then boast that you are leading the pack in actually doing it.

There simply is little honor and integrity in the system and process anymore, which equates to there being little to no honor in too many people anymore. With so much changing so rapidly, legislators cannot keep up with it and the legislative system carried through to enforcement systems are way too slow. Also, the political process has become one of executive orders and testing the slow judicial system. Any hacks of the system seem to be reasoned as fine. Hooking the system up to equipment that can be hacked or fail and not be 100% cross-checked in real time is mind-numbingly incompetent. Having so much money involved in the electoral process is more stupidity. What could go wrong and how could thieves not be attracted? People are broken and so is the system. A simple system needs to be put into effect to limit the ability of broken people to mess with it. Take most of the money out of the process and see who's left to care about politics, including politicians. See if there's any true patriotism left by who will seek out the information and positions rather than having them forced into numb minds between expensive beer & drug commercials.

Keep reading. You quoted the preamble to a yet unanswered question.

You are free to take a stab at answering this perplexing question yourself, if you are capable.

Are you saying that there haven't been Democrats who lacked honor and integrity in the past; or is money a new thing?

There is always lack of honor & integrity in people - of all sides. The increase of money is exacerbating the problem. The increase in money is increasing the creativity, risks and lawlessness to achieve the desired results.
