Great analysis. Which sets up an opportunity for China, especially given that a minimum of 2 Carrier Battle Groups will have to be permanently stationed on either side of the strait (according to Adm Stavridis this morning). Throw in the 'interdiction on the High Seas" of any Chinese flagged...

FTFY. Consider it a free "lesson in basic politics".

Good to hear that Khomeni, who died in 1989, is still dead. This is, of course, a ludicrous idea that is highly unlikely to be executed, and if it actually is, could well accelerate a) the collapse of the global economy, b) the death of the petrodollar, c) the dismantling of NATO, d) the...

We would have a shortage of Uber drivers?

I would prefer not to be bribed with my own money to stop me from having a temper tantrum.

This is the essence of the problem - that and a lack of a workable or achievable theory of victory

Exactly.

I am a little concerned by how much you seem to know about my motivations, intent, viewpoint, etc. Of course if we had a conversation you might be able to confirm the validity of your assumptions. I have no doubt the discussion would also be less shouty and aggressive were we to meet in person

Hmm. It's like you want them to be able to procure more affordable accommodations based on a more efficient and effective means of travel than owning a car and paying parking downtown where they serve the chosen ones / masters of the universe... You are obviously a commie pinko traitor

It may be that you are missing how productivity relates to the economy...

I asked the question differently does hsr make sense in canada?: Short answer: Yes — high‑speed rail (HSR) can make sense in Canada, but only in specific corridors and under certain conditions. The latest federal work on the Alto project (Toronto–Québec City) shows the government is treating...
