Overall, an estimated 20 to 40 million people died in the Mongol conquests. And Genghis, taking advantage of the young women who were captured, has left more descendants than any other known human.
What silly comments! “There are none so blind as those who will not see.” I am referring to derogatory comments that had been posted when I read the article, not to Bill Bonner’s analysis of events.
Chuckle Schumer would be very proud of You Billy, very proud indeed. Your little baby girl AOC too, and what a hypocrite Chuckie is. Good company Bill, very good.
Bill crafted today a superb assessment of a foolish decision by a ready-fire-aim draft dodger to wage war on behalf of Israel by attacking a country no treat to the US.
Stunning too to learn no one among his immediate advisors considered the possible consequences including to nearby Arab states much less to ships seeking to transit the Straits of Hormuz.
We have a certified idiot as our current president unrestrained by a pushover Congress.
Many people "threat" to stop reading the BPR as you have lost their trust... a crystal ball Bigman Billy is in the eye of the beholder and dare I say your version is arguably untrustworthy. Consider your friend Kamala, "building a future unburdened by the past". Billy your picture of the future and mine are similar in one sense, our days left to enjoy it our numbered...
Just to clarify: my post about silly comments was referring to the two derogatory comments that had been posted before mine. I guess you’d have to look at time stamps to find them. I remain a Bill Bonner fan.
You might do well to simply edit your original comment. Then you won't be idolized by those you deem foolish, and demonized by those who actually follow your logic.
Bill is clueless. One minute he is condemning the killing of couple thousand people in this conflict then he is mad that we haven't wiped all of them out by using the tactics of Genghis Khan. It is starting to get a little mental. We are in the driver's seat and have been since the beginning of this. Yes, gas prices are up, but if you are familiar with the US, if somebody farts in the wrong direction, it affects the consumer every time. It is the old just give me a reason, and I can get a reaction.
Maybe this little dwell is let those European (NATO) bastards feel the pain of turning their backs on us. Remember a couple of months ago they were calling Trump Daddy. It looks like Daddy is getting ready to spank some asses!
Bonner masterly crafts another sh*t sandwich for his readers.
And no, Bill, re your quote: "The civilization in question has been around approximately 5,800 years longer than the US. And it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, any time soon." Not the same civilization. Just another example of your shallow thinking. Although maybe the mullahs who run IRAN think like those of 5,800 years ago.
Bill you talk as though this kinetic engagement is over and America has lost, and further, that American strategy is considered stupid. As usual you paint our enemy as wise and sagacious and with 5800 years of history to hone their duplicitous behavior, which is a major part of their culture. As you well know lying to support the ways of Islam is sanctioned and is an intrinsic part of the Iranian culture.
General Jack Keane has said that American firepower could easily secure the Strait of Hormuz, which incidentaly is in international waters once 12 mile off the coast of Iran. As evidence General Keane points out that America firepower has protected the 16 to 18 ships in and about the Strait throughout this engagement, none of which have been touched by Iranian firepower. In the same way American firepower could bubble the Strait with overwatch firepower. So Bill Trump has already only this kinetic engagement, the politics are just playing out as is the way of modern diplomacy.
For those who "actually read" history, you would note, Genghis Khan was about "DOING", not talking.
Yes he killed millions on his conquest. In todays world those tactics wouldn't fly. This movie is far from the ending scenes. As the world wakes up to the fact that the straits are "international waters" and the price of oil keeps going up and the supply is going down, they will demand an end to the talking. The straits will then open and it won't be pretty.

Not sure what you are saying but I think I like it.
Ok, I don't like it.
Well, that's silly Billy for you!
Chuckle Schumer would be very proud of You Billy, very proud indeed. Your little baby girl AOC too, and what a hypocrite Chuckie is. Good company Bill, very good.
What an idiotic comment. You must be coming off a heroin high.
Wow Bob not sure I know what that feels like, do you.

TDS unabated. Thank goodness I can skim this shit and don't have to understand the "logic" of hate produced by trad media.
I actually formulated the first sentence of my reply before I scanned Bonner's column because I knew it would be another sh*t sandwich.

Thanks! I just did that.
That is the best commentary, on why not to hand a child a pair of scissors. Without thinking about the consequences first.
That is awesome, Lucas, just awesome.
Alas, the gnashing of teeth and ad hominems thrown from the deranged Trumpers brings me a smile of joy. The Big Man did secure the uranium, right?
Keep smiling Steve. Bonner gets back what he dishes out.

MAGA ex-post-facto blather to shroud a strategic blunder of epic proportions making life more costly for all worldwide.
Possible, but doubtful, let us both watch it work out and then compare notes?
