I think he has an ideology wrapped up in that self interest.
I don't know if he could articulate it clearly, but that kind of "dominance is the only rule"/"rules are for suckers" belief system is an ideology.
Well...yeah, if you want to call it an ideology, fine. I just call it selfishness or narcissism.

Increased numbers in immigration don't mean they are open borders.
Actually, having been a refugee myself, I can tell you it is exactly what it means. The numbers ALWAYS reflect the access.

The numbers reflect increased immigration, yes. Doesn't mean there are open borders, which seem to indicate that there are no checks, immigration laws or deportations. This is objectively not the case.

Can't argue with the numbers. Sorry.

"War should be used to gain maximum benefit for the US at all times and no one must question our military power" is good instincts for war and the use of military power?
Good old-fashioned Jacksonian thinking?

Fuck, do we disagree about that.
Having a strong military is not incompatible with being against invading other countries.

We do not really know what Trump would have done. We know that he ordered the military back from Afghanistan, and that the military ignored it.

I am not arguing with numbers. I am arguing with the use of the term "open borders". That is not objectively not true.

Those aren't even increased numbers in immigration.
Those are increased "encounters" by the border patrol - the law enforcement division that wouldn't exist if the borders were open.

He wasn't against invading other countries, though.
He made that very clear repeatedly.

Let me explain. Migrants ALWAYS aim at the least difficult crossing and that determines the numbers. "In my day" when West Germany became difficult, migrants went for Austria. When Austria tightened up, it was Greece, then Italy and eventually GB. So, the numbers that you're seeing reflect the difficulty level of crossing the border. The higher the number, the greater the number of nationalities the the more open borders.

We wouldn't have those numbers accounted for it was that open as you say, because no one would have been there to "encounter" and track said migrants. The fact that there were encounters means two things - a) There are migrants b) There is tight border security and It is tough to cross into the US without being accounted for aka, no "open borders".

Yes, exactly. They only measure the "encounters". Most of them are processed and released for later determination of status(meaning you'll never see them again), few are deported, and an undetermined number cross without encountering anyone. That is not a closed border. That's an invitation for more migrants. You are assuming that the border is hard to cross. I've seen enough video evidence, reports and statistical date that says otherwise.

Whether we agree on easy or difficult, it still does not mean open borders.

Hopefully it over soon so the killing can stop! I feel sorry for all the innocent people both civilians & military on both side of the conflict who died in this unnecessary war ( also proxy war) with the exception of the NeoNazi they can all burn in hell. The neoNazi & NeoNazi & sympathizers they share majority of the blame .

Elon Musk reports that the latest Russian electronic warfare system is capable of fighting satellites in geostationary orbit.

“The new Russian electronic warfare (EW) system is capable of suppressing spacecraft in geostationary orbit and irrevocably disable electronics”

It's a good news. Enemy satellites must be destroyed

In fact, last year there were rumors that restrictions on the use of Starlink satellites in Ukraine were associated with Musk's fear of losses in his satellite constellation as a result of the use of some kind of anti-satellite weapon.

:ROFLMAO: You again prove how much of a know-nothing fucking know-it-all you are.

Geostationary satellites remain stationary (hover) above a point over earth.

The 1000's of Starlink satellites whiz around, orbiting the earth at thousands of mph.
