Putin wants it, and the submissive US president obeys. There was a novel in the 1980s "The Hunt for Red October." Fiction yes, but the guy who wrote it was a war games nerd, and he explains in detail how important the waterway between western Europe and Greenland is strategically USSR/Russia. (I don't think this was covered in the movie version.) And this is why I think DT's is interested in Greenland, as a valentine for the big, strong Vlad.

Strictly my own suspicion, and I never read anything anywhere to suggest this, I didn't buy the divorce story. They are worth a ridiculously large amount of money, and there has to be an awareness of how their fortune will be passed on. My guess is there will be millions salvaged because of this divorce.

Putting America First! Making America Great Again! Supporting Our Boys! Till Death Do Us Part. None of these mean anything, all just salesmen spiel. 0+0+0+0= 0 -

Pete Hegseth’s First Mandate as Defense Secretary: “Put America First” "Okay, well that's done. Now, everybody to the bar!" -
If you don't like his color then you are a racist. 🙂

I spent two hours helping a girl to get a new job
bendejo replied to steven100's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Sounds like she was soliciting you in a subtle way. I know a guy hangs around Bkk and makes a move on just about any young female that he crosses paths with. He invites them on dates, and he considers them girlfriends that he is dating. If I listen long enough he'll get to the part about how her mother needs an operation she can't afford, sick buffalo at home, etc. -
Decades in Prison for Illinois Man Who Decapitated Pregnant Girlfriend
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Just try to image what it takes to decapitate: if you are not deft with a samurai sword or don't have use of a handy guillotine that is some work, and experiencing that has got to affect the way you view the world. Sick stuff! -
$500 billion dollar investment on day one.

There was something published during his first WH stint called "From the Wh_re house to the White House." It's probably on the net somewhere.

The Davos gatherings usually don't get much coverage in the US. After living outside the US for a while I went back for a visit and when I mentioned Davos I got the kind of eye-rolling that usually accompanies bringing up the JFK murder. "Meeting between industrialists and world political leaders? Yeah, right."

It's always funny when these uber-rich guys bring up morals. The alliances between these guys is strictly one hand on the buddy's shoulder, the other on the dagger. EM knows DT is going to try to grift him, and DT is pulling as much $$$ out of EM as he can. I am waiting for the part where DT tries to get rid of him -- you needn't be a psychic to know it is going to get ugly. On the lighter side I wonder if when Bezos and DT are having a personal chat if they discuss their wives' boob jobs. 🙂 -

$500 billion dollar investment on day one.

Probably Sun Microsystems. I used to do contract work there pre-bubble burst. One thing I credit them with is they put a lot of resources into coming up with new protocols etc. A lot of them never made it to market but they did cooperate with their "enemy" companies (like MS) on developing stuff like wifi and Bluetooth. They are the ones who created Java which became Sun's flagship product, but everyone who worked there knew Java itself wasn't the revenue earner, it was those million-dollar servers that kept the lights on. There was a lot of Mean Girls -style public banter between the CEOs, and when Ellison took over Sun their CEO looked like he was due for a pre-frontal -- both of those guys possess a "strong sense of who they are." I shorted them but made a big mistake: I did it too soon, 1999 was the year the NASDAQ doubled. As for the subject of the thread, be assured some of that investment is going into the Mar-a-Lago tip jar. -

Phuket BiB needs to have some butterfly nets for these incidents. -
Thaksin to Discuss Global Path for Thai Models with Naomi Campbell

I think he should visit Africa. They've got women there that just their booty weighs more than most Thai women. . . . they never go back -
Talking to Thais, have you ever had "Pow Wow" moments?
bendejo replied to Jingthing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
There probably hasn't been a Hollywood movie since Soldier Blue that has that gesture. It was the first mass-release film that showed the natives as people, even victims, instead of scalp collectors etc. -

Has Elon Musk become an existential threat to humanity?
bendejo replied to RSD1's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Would it be (legally) possible in the US to cancel the citizenship of a naturalized citizen? Once DT feels EM has outlived his usefulness he'll seek a device to get him out of the picture. He's been sending signals since last month.
