And rocketing down the charts with the classic schoolyard taunts of 'same as you then.' Your inability to express an intelligent rebuttal of things said on here without clamouring for posters to 'quote their source'; or insult them in such a broad way that you now express disdain for any person living in Isaan is really quite pathetic. Tell me, were you President of the school debating society?

On this website there's no need to call Putin every day, his instructions pop up regularly from his ardent followers.

Wow, what a well thought out put down. I'm sure Lacessit will now skulk away in shame after being so publicly trounced by your rapier like wit and snappy comeback.

There used to be.....not many left now.

If this is what is done to help him win, imagine what will be done if he does win.

I fear a victory by a highly fragmented rebel movement would probably lead to a highly fragmented country and continued fighting.

Make your mind up!

Your original comment was relating to the Charge of the Light Brigade, and I replied to that. I have absolutely no interest in your post above as it is totally unrelated to the original topic or what you posted.

Wow! Home schooling has gone a bit far in Austria.

What a hilariously selective historical analogy. On the same basis the American war of Independence, the Boer war and various other conflicts involving the British military where they lost would be cause for Britain to be at odds with most of their current allies! The Charge of the Light Brigade was part of the Crimean War which Britain, and its then allies won!

They have been doing it for years. Undermine confidence in the monetary and financial systems to weaken an adversary. Russia, China, North Korea and Iran have many individuals committing cyber attacks to shut down critical infrastructure and commit various financial scams. Asymmetrical warfare is much cheaper than tanks, bombers and aircraft carriers.

They think every other country is jealous and wants to be like them. The people you quote live in ivory towers of wealth and privilege and have little practical experience of life in other countries.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 0/100 My Time 26 seconds  

Not much diversity in that picture!

That doesn't deter motorcyclists

Hmm, 🤔 let me think. Perhaps because china is one of the most xenophobic totalitarian countries around?

The terrorists don't hate Democrats and love Republicans. They hate everything American and western and will attack wherever they can. Other non democratic and totalitarian countries that hate America radicalise and use these people and disinformation to create the Disunited States of America in order that it is less able to deal with them. Grow up America.

And yet China is halting many infrastructure projects. Exclusive: China orders indebted local governments to halt some infrastructure projects-sources | Reuters Many of the infrastructure projects are of poor quality China’s Global Mega-Projects Are Falling Apart - WSJ Many projects are collapsing China: Multiple Roads And Bridges Collapse Leaving Over 100 Dead, Poor Quality 'Tofu-dreg' Infrastructure Comes Under Scrutiny (swarajyamag.com) China faces several problems - single source financing, poor quality urban infrastructure, over capacity challenges; and shortfall in funding promises to S.E. Asian nations. The construction boom made existing companies very busy and very rich; to the extent that many smaller companies were formed by 'experienced personnel' who left them and then vied for the smaller urban development contracts where they employed unskilled workers, cut corners and used shoddy materials. Construction in these areas is referred to as tofu dreg for good reason. Question is - how far does the rot spread. There were never enough competent and experienced skilled workers to deal with the construction boom.

That didn't appear to stop Trump, he saw it as an opportunity!

I presume that when you say 'president elect' that you are referring to Harris? So, you admit that she has as good as won the election then? That's not very loyal!

The Belt and Road Initiative was intended to free China from the 'shackles of encirclement' and the development of high-speed railways for cargo within S.E. Asia should render the Straits of Malacca irrelevant. However, 23 of the 68 countries involved are at risk of economic distress or are now basket cases due to toxic debt owed to China. In fact, some people say that the BRI is simply colonialisation by indebtedness and impoverishment of other sovereign nations.

or just a desperate ploy to try and win back some female voters?

Harry's biggest crime was to detail in his book how he lost his virginity to an older woman in a field behind a pub where she rode him like a young stallion; he gave no thought for the woman herself and her right to privacy. Even worse, he neglected his own children by not considering that one day they would be able to read about Daddy's first experience in his own words. I'm sure these words will be thrown in their faces by kids they socialise with at school and sports, and by the press looking for a reaction. I feel sorry for his kids!

This is so incredible that I actually had to Google it to check if it was a wind up! Sad to report it seems to be true. Ten weekends of imprisonment beggars belief; he should be locked up for every year of the probation and then some. The 13 year old girl will suffer every day and not just the weekends. I am not an advocate for vigilante justice but things like this make me consider it.

I actually thought the spelling of the adjective was intentional and referring to a type of beer; one that is also referred to as 'a pint of wife beater!'
