Yep. The report also states that Iran is working the left over. In support of hamas and their proxies. China is doing the same.
both are obvious and it's chilling how easily manipulated people are

No we don't agree, already have to import Pakistani MD's for the VA in cutting cost to keep it even close to private healthcare.
Skilled labor force isn't even enough for jobs available today in private sector by a LOT. We already have to import labor from as far away as the Philippines and India which is not about getting them on the cheap but about actually building and maintaining things.
We have MORE than enough in the SPR for its mission statement, 3x what was considered needed in the late 1970's. Very few small refineries use the grades of crude oil stored, Louisiana Light Sweet and Louisiana Light Sour. Selling the whole thing, storage caverns and all would fund other things. FTR, it is constantly being added to from day one, via payment in kind with oil in lieu of offshore oil royalties on Federal leases' Instead Florida needs to remove its block, which has existed for decades now, on drilling in 1/3 of the Gulf of Mexico. It did this when California did it.

Do you have issues with English? I wasn't saying you agreed with the VA point 
Weird how a couple of the most vehemently pro-Ukraine posters seem to have issues with reading comprehension. Possibly a language barrier? The Ukrainian to English google translate doesn't always work the best.

They've been trying to improve it since the Nixon administration. It's been fricked up that long. One of the few things I agreed with Trump on was his effort to improve the VA but it ended up being in vain.

Thanks for including your sources for these crazy numbers.

Its always a talking point because its easy to get behind. If even half of the time its been used for political talking points resulted in actual action on improving it, the VA would be twice as good as it is today.

Agreed.

That's probably just the new 60km range shell.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve cost to maintain and operate varies between $200-250 million per year and cannot ship crude out at over 2.5 million barrels per day, to anywhere. Its pipeline access is almost exclusively to export terminals (formerly import terminals). It does lease pipelines for private use which brings in about $9 million per year.

Ok so flip flop your verbs here.
How many CAN South Korea product?
How many IS North Korea producing?
Oh, and by the way, whenever you use the term DPRK (Democratic People's Republic Korea) you give yourself away. No one in the West calls it that.

Hannity had a radio interview with a young doctor who worked part time at a VA hospital and part time at a nearby private hospital.
The VA expected him to see two patients in the morning and two in the afternoon. The private hospital expected him to see 8 patients in the morning and 8 in the afternoon.

A guy that works for me is a retired marine combat vet. He's there all the time due to service related stuff. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff that he has to deal with. One of his buddies was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It is a complete shite show from end to end. He did say that the best years he experienced were when Trump was in. He claims that about six weeks from Biden inauguration it all went back to complete shite.

If you were an honest poster who argued in good faith, I'd ask that If you have an issue with his post, give us alternative numbers and sources. Would genuinely like to see how much aid North Korea could be to Russia.
But you're not. So, oh well.

There are a lot of things this could apply to, and I would consider myself generally skeptical of Trump even though I will be voting for him in November.

Possibly, but he's been dealing with them regularly for about 16 years and that was the only time that had their act together somewhat. By no means was it a tight ship, but getting things resolved was remarkably easier
