Re: Trump - the second first 100 days

A very real and present danger with Trump is that he is so susceptible to flattery and obsequiousness. There are not many things that he cares about; mainly just his own wealth and popularity. And he is very stupid and has the attention span of a goldfish, which probably feeds into his susceptibilit...

Re: News from Outer Space

This is at Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, a truly beautiful course, surrounded by mountains. I stayed at the Broadmoor once years ago. Hiked up a nearby mountain in beautiful, sunny June weather, wearing shorts and a T-shirt ... and then broke land speed records on the way down as a new weather sys...

Re: Are you ready for POST BREXIT?

In America whenever some Republican Party scheme got passed into law and then completely face-planted, they would say, "Conservativism didn't fail us; we failed conservativism." Probably the UK just needed to withdraw from NATO, the WTO, and the UN, too. For that matter, what have Scotland...

Re: Gaza neighborhood gone, in one hour

Can't find the quote just now, but several years ago when the course correction was even more obvious than now someone said something along the lines of, "Europe is abandoning its decades-long experiment with socialism and returning to its natural progression into fascism."

Re: Gaza neighborhood gone, in one hour

When the State of Israel acts like Nazis, can it not be said that in a way the Nazis have won after all -- ?

Re: Trump - the second first 100 days

I don't think the idea is ever, really, to impose a liberal democracy ...

Liberal democracy is barely tolerated back home.

Re: Trump - the second first 100 days

I think Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping, or a couple others, could lock up a Nobel Peace Prize fairly easily.

Just provide Iran nuclear weapons. Then there is no reason any longer to worry about Iran getting nuclear weapons: they already have them!

War over.

Re: Trump - the second first 100 days

I have to suspect that the Netanyahu government took full advantage of idiots being in charge of American military decisions in their decision to attack Iran. Netanyahu has had a hard-on for attacking Iran for decades, and he has no doubt on many previous occasions proposed it to his sponsor state ....

Did she go to a restaurant where the immigrant kitchen crew intentionally poisoned her?

Or maybe one where the newly hired American replacement crew accidentally poisoned her?

Re: Russia земля борца самбо

You haven't seen, because you haven't been looking.
Probably more that they aren't in English like all the Israeli videos I have seen.
I'll take your word that the Russians are raising monsters as well.

Re: Russia земля борца самбо

I have yet to see even a single video of Russian children calling for the murder of Ukrainian children, but there are a shocking number of videos of Israeli children and young adults calling for the murder of Palestinian children.

And they seem completely unaware that they have become monsters.
