Are you drunk? I've answered already. Read the thread.

I read it. It's drivel. Utter clownology to believe that Gulf Sunnis are unified behind Pallestinians. The type of opinion only an ignoramus of Gulf history could hold.

I know the answers. I suggest you do some research before engaging in topics you don't understand. All the best.

It's relevant to the topic. Hussein obsessed and feared - Betrayal by his inner circle Internal revolution by the Kurds and others Shia Iran and their capability or raising an internal uprising using the Shia minority. He did not fear The USA and the West. That may disappoint some of you. He may have gotten away with keeping Kuwait ( unlikely ) but as soon as he threatened Saudi Arabia the party was over ( Carter Doctrine kicked in ). That was one of the few Carter era foreign policy success stories, undone by the disgraceful One China policy ( dear me ). Shia Iran funds Hamas to upset Israel ( clearly ) but the secondary benefit is to harass the life out of Saudi Arabia. Yemen is a prime example of Shia Iranian money causing serious problems for SA. I'm of the opinion that there will be no peace in the Middle East until Iran is defeated. I've been of that opinion since 1979, one of the worst foreign policy years in US history due to Carter's weakness. Revolution in Iran, the appalling One China policy, and the Christmas Day invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviets. The Iraq War was detestable as it was fought for the wrong reasons, Iran are a far greater problem and as soon as they have nukes the world is in serious trouble. JD Vance is fundamentally correct.

No. I'm asking you. Unfortunately, on this topic, you don't know what you are talking about. And I lay short odds plenty of other forum members were unaware that the Palestinians backstabbed Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Thanks for that. So the timeline is that they had a failed business in Thailand, a failed business in the UK, he was sectioned for battering his parents and other family members, and she was left alone to bring up two kids in Wales. RIP to the wee laddie, and I hope this lady gets the help she needs, an utter tragedy.

Was that an answer or a riddle wrapped in an enigma? Which Muslim countries are using Palestinians to attack Israel? Iran is obvious - who else? Why are Iran doing so? Is it actually anti-Israel or part of a wider sectarian dispute with the Sunnis who control Mecca? Why do you think Hussein sent tanks into Saudi? Did he need more sand or was it a Hail Mary attempt to control Mecca, or just a play for the oil?

Far, far worse. Far worse. How about the Gulf States were severely p*ssed off that Yarafat's PLO sided with Hussein and participated in the looting and war crimes perpetrated during the Kuwait invasion? I'm absolutely staggered that people don't know about this. It caused what is known as the Palestinian Exodus from Kuwait and soured relationships with Saudi Arabia and others. SA in particular was effed off that they were tackling Iraqi tank invasions knowing that the PLO were running amok under the cover of Saddam's protection. And here we have people saying "Muslim states will side with Palestinians over Israel." Do ya'll think the Gulf States are stupid and that they will run to protect those traitorous backstabbing weasels???

Read this despicable propaganda carried by Time magazine. Here, an American lawyer argues that the Abraham Accords should be abandoned because they caused October 7. You need to be really twisted to pursue that logic. https://time.com/6339889/cancel-abraham-accords/

Ya think? Prove it - as every single signal sent out by the Gulf states has been they want nothing to do with Gaza. Feel free to point out the vast Palestinian refugee camps in the Gulf to support your argument. And have a look at the Abraham Accords where Muslim states recognised Israel and abandoned their historical support for Gaza. I find it amazing that people who purport to be knowledgeable on this topic don't understand the anti-Palestinian vibe in the Middle East. Here's a question for ya'll - Why do you think the Gulf States turned against the Palestinians? The answer is obvious.

"Asylums are full of the most sensitive people who take nervous breakdowns trying to solve everyone's problems. Pubs are full of utter b*stards trying to drown evil memories." Said to me by a priest at my father-in-laws funeral, a notorious "devil by the fireside, angel on the outside" type. I agree with that. I was talking to an old school friend last night and we counted out the number of b*stards we knew that are prematurely dead. But I'll add one. It's amazing the number of men who now go through life untested. No national service, no wars, working easy jobs without the brutality seen in the emergency services etc Talking to.that same guy last night we bemoaned the price the youngsters in our families have paid due to drugs. One nephew asked his uncle if he could borrow £500 to buy a van to cut grass. His father said no, I said yes, his uncle agreed with me. Why? We know that he might go out and blow the money on chemicals, but also, he might buy the van and cut grass. As I pointed out - If men like us turn our backs on our sons and nephews what kind of men are we? Condemnation or rehabilitation - what would you choose?

What's the relevance of this drivel? Almost 90% of Muslims worldwide are Sunni. To be Sunni does not infer support for Hamas. And that includes the Gazan Sunnis who are sick of them.

Don't tell me members of this forum are shaming themselves by suggesting Project 2025 is real? You'd need to be as stupid as those that think the assassination attempt was a set-up to believe that. And I know no one on this forum is that stupid. 🤪

From nowhere he could be a heartbeat away from the Presidency depending on November's result. No serious politician would reject that invitation from a seventy-seven year old man.

Answer the questions you are asked. If you are asked about a history of cancer in your family, answer truthfully. The worst case of "pre-existing" fraud I know about was an insurance agent pal asked to write a life insurance policy for a younger man with a family. He couldn't get face-to-face with the guy. It turned out the guy had terminal cancer and the family were attempting a Hail Mary fraud. In Thailand, the worst medical fraud was a foreigner claiming no previous ailments. The day after the policy was accepted he showed up at the hospital ( immediate red flag ) and tested positive for HIV. His problem.was, Red Cross BKK had already tested him positive and it was the same doctor at the hospital who had advised him of his condition at RC. Damned unlucky or damned stupid? It's the second one. Insurance companies have seen it all before. So just answer the questions you are asked truthfully.

Both echo chambers are equally poisonous. However, shooting nominees in the head tends to upset the centrists. It's not really a good election strategy.

The tragedy is that you truly believe it's a fascist movement. The second tragedy is your news media isn't telling you about protests like this. Link takes you to twitter https://x.com/theisraelfiles/status/1809049959804641341

Did you see the fascists parading through NYC today holding burning torches and chanting death to.the Jews? Wake up, JT. WAKE UP.

Okay I'm Scottish and I'm going to tell you Americans what's really happening here. 1. Democrats know Biden is a basketcase but don't care, just as they didn't care in 2020. The first comment about Bidens mental state was by Obama around 2015. People read it as grief for his laddie. It was Obama pointing out - and Dems know this - that Biden wasn't fit for the Presidency. 2. Hunter Biden's tax evasion trial starts September 5th. He is guilty. The prosecution has 30 witnesses lined up against him. 3. MR BIG GUY, 10% FOR THE BIG GUY - etc are going to be beaten to death during the trial. 4. The FBI has already stated the laptop is real. Unfortunately for the Biden family, the people who received the è-mails are cooperating with the prosecution . 5. The guilty verdict will be rendered around October 1. 6. Many states have laws that nominees cannot be replaced on.the ballot after X date. 7. So the answer was to chp Biden at the knees with an early debate. 8. Trump should not have agreed. He may have won a Pyrrhic victory. Biden out, but a new and more brutal enemy emerges. 9. But it's all about Hunters trial. Prove me wrong.

This is what happens when rule of law countries import rule of chaos immigrants. It's not racism, it's cultural. East Asians, Indians etc in the UK have low crime rates and a high work ethic. Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan,Pakistan ( both failed states) and many others are chaos states. Everyone pays the price when the chaos actors run riot, especially the hard working immigrants. Google.what happened in Austria when it admitted young Afghans. And this very day I'm in Sweden. Another failed social experiment. Chaos is the point. Remember that when you see these stories.

Once again, a childish post. We've seen plenty like you. The problem is, in your delirium, you cannot be helped. And not Thai lady has "screwed" me. I'm famed for warning against the utter arrogance and stupidity you are displaying on this thread. Quite simply, its pitiful.

Come on, man - no one is this stupid. "She said I was the best thing that ever happened to her." What are you, fourteen? Wake up.

I wish I could post photos of my social circle, but I wouldn't invade their privacy, male or female. I recognise the people you are talking about as that's who I live among in my hamlet, which is close to the village. I'll wander outside and see cows tied and grazing in my garden. The locals use my fishing pond but everyone knows my Koi Carp pond which also has decent size Tilapia is out of bounds. I love my Koi Carp. The farmers and locals take the fruit from my trees, and sometimes drop off spare eggs. I drink with these guys at the local Lao Tung which wraps up at 7.30pm because these guys are back at work before daybreak. The village market kicks off at 3am, finishes before 9. I'm always fascinated and impressed by how busy the place is first thing in the morning, a real hub of capitalist activity. And, as you say, husbands and wives are dependent on each other, it's great to see how many share responsibilities for running their microbusinesses. In my case I make an annual donation to the impoverished elderly. The last time I distributed 100 food parcels, arranged via the village heads in the area. I'll do the same again this year. While it's a fact that not everyone likes farangs in the village, there is a large welcome mat for those who want to get involved in the community. Put the effort in, as you know, you will be rewarded.

Bday Prang has proved he is clueless. And thanks, I'm a natural.

To live in a Thai village? Or to exist in a Thai village. I know a guy who has lived in my village for sixteen years and he emerges from his house once every two weeks. No language skills, no community involvement, no clue. The truth of the matter is that I don't have a problem with that, if he's happy being a hermit that's up to him. And it would be surprising to many how many farang hermits live in Thailand. And, yes, the work ethic can be astounding. Rough, hard, brutal work in the heat. The one thing that beats me is the number of farangs that don't understand the level of competition for good village girls is through the roof. You rarely see the prettiest girl in the village in Pattaya as she has been snapped up by the landowners son - assuming she isn't a total headcase. And the headcases are rejected. One of the prettiest girls in my village is a category one wild child. Lao Kao gangbangs, including taking on four guys in a pond, and jailed three times for yabba possession. If she walked into a Pattaya bar guys would line up for her, but she's a lunatic. Every Thai guy in the village knows she's a lunatic, and if the barstool farangs had any Thai males pals they would know too. But hey, ho - that's who they date and marry. Som nam na.
