Understanding the US - Again

Sumit Peer on PGurus has an interesting segment on US. Donald Trump is openly telling the Sauds that $1T investment into US is required to protect them from divisive forces in the region. He also asked them to reduce crude oil prices. That is a full stop to the china inspired petro trade with Sauds. Marco Rubio, sec of state of US, ticked of the Chinese and told them to back of in pacific area and stop bullying taiwan, phillipines, japan, korea and vietnam. Apparently US ships have moved into the taiwan strait and are clearly signalling who is the boss in the region. There are already certain moves on Panama canal, which the chinese are dictating. Marco is visiting panama. US Supreme Court clears extradition of Tahawwur Rana (ex-ISI, Canadian languishing in LosAngeles prison) to India to face 26/11 trial. Sumit believes that Baluchistan will be wrested away from the Pakis and that would be end of their shenanigans. Gwadar port will be taken away from the chinese. Russian President Putin mentioned that the 2020 US elections were stolen by the Dems of US denying Donald Trump the presidency of US. Trump has been saying this for a long time. The stolen elections fact caused the Russia-Ukraine war and with a Donald Trump president during 2020 onwards, there would have been no war.

Listen to this: former Senator of New Jersey Bob Menendez who is democrat was convicted to 11 yr sentence in Southern district of New York Court. What does he say at a news conference? President Trump is right. Ah? What?

Yes, he is claiming that the court system has become political and corrupt to the core with FBI agents lying to the court to get prosecution. The prosecutors in NY sent illegal evidence to the judge. He is going to appeal his sentence.

Watch the press conference of Bob Menendez.

Not that Senator Lindsey Graham is a true Republican, but this exchange with FBI nominee Kash Patel in the US senate is very revealing and interesting. They Discuss the Steele Dossier and Crossfire Hurricane Probe. Kash Patel got death threats when his name was announced as head of FBI. Kash Patel is a honest, knowledgable, transparent and experienced man of integrity regardless of party lines. DJT identified Kash Patel to clean up the corrupt FBI.

To jog everyone's memory on Steel Dossier: this dude is a Britshit MI5 operative who concocted pure BS from another Russian and created a massively false dossier (a bunch of bull!) to implicate DJT. Hillary Clinton used this dossier to smear DJT as a Russian operative. I hope Putin takes note and understands that DJT looks out from the America perspective and is not a Russian operative!

When there were no air crashes in a year he claimed credit even though he had nothing to do with it. Now that there a crash he blames everyone but himself. A true leader.

Maybe you should start a signature campaign to impeach him for the third time? Oh, wait, someone from the DNC already did. AOC for example. Go on go for it. God speed.

[bala]

PGurus with Sumit Peer has more on the Washington DC Potomac river air crash, clearly the Army Helo crashed into the aircraft. DTC gave a clear signal to the Helo to abort and they ignored the command. There is something fishy about the Army Helo and its pilot who has clear vision flying even during nightime since there are lights on the aircraft and it is landing.

Tis ridiculous to blame a US president of an aircrash. This is part of media needling leaders. The people in charge are the ones to be blamed including pilot of Helo. Take a look at the video clip pictures and you decide.

Abrahamic ideology. America is a Christian Nation. Also the Woke ideology emanating from the west is problematic too since it has even started glorifying Pedophilia, discriminate against Woman by taking over their space and the like. Its better Americans deal with it. They are doing good to the world.

You are free to have your opinion which i don't share nor care for. PGurus is pointing out the obvious about the helo crashing into the plane. I have a background in aircraft crashes due to my Dad going on air crash investigation.

A helo going straight into an aircraft instead of flying vertically up is a huge issue. The helo is highly manueverable and reacts quickly. Something is wrong with its flight path. My hunch is the controls were taken over somewhere else remotely and guided the helo into the aircraft purposely. This is no accidental flight.

There are reports that 1 air traffic controller was guiding both helo and aircraft which is not done normally. Again DEI guidelines by the Dumbocrats in FAA is the issue which was recently further changed by Biden before leaving office.

Abrahamic nations are like that. That never means the noises will make it into policies of Trump presidency, there are proper checks and balances in present day Republican America from such nonsense happening for the time being. Contrary the Biden era policies of discrimination against Women and Children will be gone. This was very much required as they were literally exporting their Woke agenda worldwide. Meanwhile there is even more horrendous cruelty happening in Iraq and in Bangladesh where girls are even stopped from playing football. We better start concentrating in our region. Also the glorification and rampant usage of drugs will again see restrictions and downward trend. This is also good for the world.

[nandakumar]

I have never understood one aspect about this debate on illegal immigrants. How does US establish that an immigrant has arrived from Mexico? It is difficult enough to establish that a person is an illegal immigrant leave alone that someone has come from X or Y country. India has this problem for illegal immigrant from Bangladesh. We can take an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh and transport them at Govt expense to Bangladesh border. The Bangladeshi Border Guards coolly tell the BSF that they are not Bangladeshi. And GoI transport them back to wherever they were picked up from at government expense!

Different dynamics. Language is a big differentiator. People coming from outside the USA usually cannot speak English. Even if they speak english, their accent or dialect marks them out as not native to the USA. Adults are therefore out of luck if trying to pass off as a citizen.

Now, education is free and universally available to under-18s regardless of status. So children who go to school in the USA can have perfect English. Confusion around status extends at most to this population.

If Mexico could set up schooling to train children to speak American English, it would indeed be difficult to discern whether someone is a citizen or not without deeper investigation.

I think I didn't explain myself very clearly. The law on citizenship doesn't require an ability to speak English, at least to my limited understanding. That apart, a lot of immigrants from many parts of the world crossed into the US via Mexico. But by no means are they Mexicans. In any case,, it is one thing to identify someone as not an American citizen but quite another thing to say they are Mexicans or Canadians and push them into those countries.
I just saw this on my Twitter time-line.
https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/supr ... ees-282577
It is relevant to the US situation too. If the US is committed to following the 'due process of law' (I am sure, they are) it would be a time consuming exercise to identify the precise country that these immigrants belong.

[saip]

Citizenship law does require you to be proficient in English unless you are over 50 lived in the USA for 20 years or over 55 years and lived for over 15 years. But for younger people no exception about English and Civics tests. Trump does not care about what happens to these aliens unless they are married to him. They made him money (he employed thousands of them in his real estate business at low wages) and then on their backs he became the POTUS. Now he does not care. Their usefulness to him is over. The REAL DEEPSTATE has won while we were looking elsewhere.

Interesting take.. this is what makes BRF worth the time !

Trump is a businessman, purely transactional., in words and deeds

Actually Modi is probably the one statesman who knows this approach best !

[Jay]

I do not know how someone with a family member with experience in crash investigation came to this conspiracy theory of a "hunch". trump already said he purged "deep state" so who did this then?

There are reports that 1 air traffic controller was guiding both helo and aircraft which is not done normally. Again DEI guidelines by the Dumbocrats in FAA is the issue which was recently further changed by Biden before leaving office.

you can clearly see trump and his supporters panicking and throwing every excuse at the wall hoping something will stick because trump's incompetence made this accident possible. rumor is that he's on drugs, mostly ketamine from musk and that is why he's acting so erratically and even lashing out at good friends like putin, and modi.

[bala]

I suggest you try to understand what is happening, instead of turning this into Repub vs Dumbocrats debate. My suggestion is don't respond to anything I post since you are arguing things from an emotional perpective rather than a rational perspective.

No more from me on this topic.

Just one day before the deadly crash between an American Airlines flight and a military helicopter near the nation’s capital on Wednesday evening, a passenger jet had to abort its initial landing at Reagan National Airport after a chopper appeared in its flight path, airline officials and radar data confirmed.

from:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nat ... 079868007/

A US air traffic controller job currently pays from $64K to $120K, requires a bachelor's, several months of training and working under close supervision from two to four years. One must be under 31 (so that one can get the 25 years in service needed for a federal pension by the retirement age for air traffic controllers.) The US FAA says that it is short of about 3,000 air traffic controllers nationwide. Why Americans don't want to do this job, I don't understand.

... The US FAA says that it is short of about 3,000 air traffic controllers nationwide. Why Americans don't want to do this job, I don't understand.

A long time ago I had read (in readers digest IIRC) what an extremely stressful job it is to be an ATC. Lots of pressure and nerve racking moments can occur anytime. And the weight in your mind of being responsible for hundreds of lives on a daily basis.

No doubt technology has advanced a long way since then

[RCase]

The ATC had informed the helo of approaching traffic and he acknowledged the message. There was probably a mistaken identification of another aircraft by the helo pilot (but this aircraft was in the opposite direction and not on the landing approach). I believe the paths of the aircraft and the helo were about perpendicular to each other. The weather being clear and visibility being reasonable, the helo pilot should have been able to see incoming traffic while crossing the landing approach path and taken evasive action.

The question I have is that this was a black hawk helo and must have had sophisticated radar to show aircraft in the vicinity. Also probably would have had collision avoidance systems. I think the more likely reason for the air crash is helicopter pilot error.

Analyzing the Mid-Air Collision Over the Potomac: A Detailed Examination of ATC Communications

Jan 31, 2025

On January 29, 2025, a devastating mid-air collision occurred near Washington, D.C.'s Ronald Reagan National Airport, involving an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter.

Tragically, all 64 passengers and crew aboard the jet, as well as the three military personnel on the helicopter, lost their lives.


In this video, Captain Steeeve provides a somber and educational analysis of the events leading up to this tragedy.

We delve into the available air traffic control (ATC) communications to understand the sequence of events and explore potential factors that may have contributed to the accident.

Our aim is to honor the memory of those lost by learning from this incident and highlighting the critical importance of aviation safety protocols.

Special thanks to VASAviation for putting the ATC audio and video together.

DCA has been congested airspace for a long time. Recently the airlines lobbied for more flights into DCA & got their wish because it’s lucrative. There’s too much traffic for the volume of airspace. Helos belonging to DoD & DHS have always been in & out at low altitudes. At night or bad weather, there just isn’t enough visibility to react in time. On top of that, departure routes over the capital have been restricted since 9/11.

I fly into DCA about 3-4 times yearly for the past 10 years. In the last 5-6 years, helo traffic has increased.

‘US invasion of Iraq was based on lies and fabrication, killed and displaced millions’: Tulsi Gabbard in her confirmation hearing.



https://indianexpress.com/article/news- ... r-9808714/

In her opening statement, Gabbard said for too long, faulty, inadequate or weaponised intelligence have led to costly failures and the undermining of US national security and God-given freedoms enshrined in the Constitution.

“The most obvious example is our invasion of Iraq based upon a total fabrication or complete failure of ‘intelligence’. This disastrous decision led to the deaths of tens of thousands of American soldiers and millions of people in the Middle East; mass migration, destabilisation, and undermining of the security and stability of our European allies; the rise of ISIS, strengthening of al-Qaeda and other Islamist Jihadist groups, and strengthening Iran,” she said.

Chetak ji,
This is the same thinking of US expanding NATO upto Russian borders. This caused the Ukraine - Russia war. The lies / fabrication within Ukraine by US Victoria Nuland and company in ukraine revolution is another cause for the US to get involved. The Dumbocrats perpetuated this line of thinking causing millions of Ukrainians/Russians to die and be displaced. This is another needless war causing turmoil in the world and the high inflation of oil/goods. The dumbocrats in 4 yrs have caused 100+% inflation of day to day consumable items + food for the average american joe. DJT has claimed that the previous Biden admin had lunatics thinking of WW-III and nuclear war with Russia.

[saip]

But Iraq war was started by who, re-pubics, is it not? The the dumbocrats should not be blamed for everything. Lies and fabrications have been and will always be US state policy. Right now Oligarchs and Deep State (the real one) have taken over our country. Let use hope our democracy is strong enough to survive their machinations.
