  1. Like this: https://babel.ua/en/texts/107260-is-it-possible-and-necessary-to-hold-elections-during-war-we-explain-using-the-examples-of-the-usa-great-britain-canada-and-israel And then there's this: "Ukraine’s constitution holds that the country may not hold parliamentary elections until martial law, in effect since February 24, 2022, is lifted, and for six months thereafter." "President Zelensky has stated that he will not hold elections on credit, nor will he “take money from weapons and give it to elections.” Instead, he has suggested that Western countries, especially the United States, that are pressing Ukraine to hold elections could help fund them, in this way sharing the financial risk. With funding and security assured, the country could potentially develop a legal framework to hold elections during wartime, he implied." https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/wartime-ukraines-election-dilemma Guess me misplaced the $300+ Billion the US already gave him as well as the additional $16 Billion that USAID gave him last year.
  2. You lot should have watched the CPAC 2025 conference. Get your info directly from the horse's mouth instead of your left-wing news outlets where the info comes from the other end of the horse.
  3. "FanBoys" blow with the wind - Never thought about France and "Corridors of Power" could ever be used together, except maybe "Bows To...". 😁
  4. I smell a Bar-B-Que coming. These EU "leaders" are in for a rude awakening very soon. The Post-WWII teat is drying up fast. Funny thing though, it took 4 yrs to free Europe from the tyranny and dictatorship of Germany and now you've grouped up under German rule. A lot of big talk about Russia but with Biden's help,(he gave the ok for the Russian pipeline) you now buy major amounts of energy from Russia also thanks to Germany's deal. Now that Zelenski has turned off the faucet, basically trying to hold Europe's feet to the fire demanding more, more, more, they're trying to blame the US for not stopping the war and turning the lights on. Wash-Rinse-Repeat. Learn how to govern people. I hear President Trump has a handbook they can read.
  5. "Russia once again rolled out their guest clown, Roger Waters, at the UN Security Council as they probably couldn’t find someone else to play their act. " You're slipping Jingthing - do try and go back to original thoughts.
  6. This is a pretty good try at taking the top spot in animal weirdos UK but I think the Aussies still hold the top spot with that guy and the bunnies.
  7. I hope they round all these so-called doctors and give them a one-way ride to Palestine then add them to the terrorist watch list and the no-fly list. They could show they truly support their people by improving their medical services at home.
  8. The writer gives a great perspective of what the world has known forever. Nice captain obvious piece. Especially like the WWII and Viet Nam suggestion of Radio Free Gaza. Maybe give them all META VR headsets instead? Never heard an explanation of why the Palestinians (formally) occupying Gaza can't be put back in Palestine while they wait. Do their own people not want them? As far as the new governing body is concerned, it should be Israeli/Arab with Saudi army for security. Even Iran back Hamas wouldn't be stupid enough to attack the Saudis. ETA: Maybe time for the Middle-East to create an alliance. OPEC-Middle-East-Gaza Defense Initiative.
  9. " It took 46 years after NATO's inception in 1949 for the organization first ever military intervention took place in 1995" "The EU and NATO have respectively 27 and 32 member states, of which 23 states are members of both. The four EU member states which are not members of NATO (Austria, Cyprus, Ireland and Malta) held positions of neutrality during the Cold War, which they have since maintained." I really don't see the formation of a "European Army" anytime soon and DEFINITELY not in time to give anyone but the US, Ukraine and Russia a seat at the table but we wouldn't them to move from "Annoyed" the "Miffed". Mostly I think they just want a piece carved out for themselves.
  10. I suppose after a few more meeting the EU will be prepared to issue a strongly worded letter?
  11. In the news today he's found $4.7T in unencoded (therefore, untraceable) payments disbursed from the Treasury and SS Benefits being paid to more people than there are living American citizens. Even the judges have stopped interfering in DOGE business. 🤠
  12. Small correction to your selective understanding: In fact, 40 states have a balance of payment ratio higher than 1.00. Far from a dependency caused by state political leaning, it is typical for states to receive more in federal funds than they collect in federal taxes — an anomaly made possible only by rampant federal deficit spending. https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/502321-no-blue-states-do-not-bailout-red-states/ Just to be clear: https://abcnews.go.com/Elections/2024-us-presidential-election-results-live-map/
  13. You've answered your own question. Bigger question now is will any of those rich people (many currently homeless [sort of]) be held accountable for breaking the law also and how will they feel paying union rates to replace them with legal servants?
  14. Yea, the UK should be the world model for fair treatment of farmers. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/video/2025/feb/13/protesting-farmers-sandstorm-tractors-keir-starmer-video https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cwypj14q122o https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rachel-reeves-halifax-expenses-chancellor-labour-b2698477.html
