  1. These are the wars in Europe in the 21st Century. Just how many involved Russia and how many involved Nato. Facts don't lie and your opinion is just inaccurate. 2001 Georgia, Kodori crisis 2001 Insurgency in the Republic of Macedonia 2004-2013 Unrest in Kosovo 2004 Georgia, Adjara crisis 2004 Georgia, South Ossetia clashes 2006 Georgia, Kodori crisis 2007-2015 Insurgency in North Caucasus 2014-presentRusso-Ukraine war 2014 Annexation of Crimea 2022-present Russia invasion of Ukraine. Are you just naive or you just a Putin's apologist.
  2. Cannabis was under the Categories of Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Category V till 2020 when they were decriminalized. Together with hemp, they no longer in Cat V.
  3. Ukraine will have 2 Advance Surface-to-air Missile Systems - IRIS and NASAMS. They will stand up well against Russia aggressive missile attacks. With the success on the ground, Russia facing humilating military setbacks.
  4. I thought one of the core principles of GOP conservatism is Human Dignity honouring marriage and family as the primary institutions of healthy society. Herschel Walker sure doesn't fit that mould. Rick Scott is placing Trumpism ahead of conservative values. Walk of shame for both.
  5. Abbott's Operation Lone Star has not slowed down surging number of migrants. He has built wall, arrested migrants, spend million busing migrants to other cities and intensified the inspection of commercial trucks causing economic gridlock. His policies has not worked. Title 42 and Trump's Remain in Mexico program are not working. Abbott has been confrontational, obstructive in his actions and will not coordinate with federal and states on his policies. He has exploited the migrant issue for his own political gains. It's easy to cite numbers and put blame but the facts remained that migration is rising due to economics, natural disasters etc and are out of the President's control. A cohesive plan between state and federal government is needed but under this kind of hostile atmosphere created by Abbott, it's unlikely anything can be achieved.
  6. Interesting analogy. Just how did Nato prod Russia to invade a sovereign country. Not even Russia can explain why they invaded Ukraine. Putin's justification in the beginning was that modern, western-leaning Ukraine was a constant threat and Russia could not feel safe, develop and exist. Then on invasion day on 24 Feb, the goal was change to to "demilitarise and de-Nazify Ukraine". Subsequently the goal was changed to "protect people subjected to what Putin called eight years of bullying and genocide by the Ukraine government to ensure Ukraine's neutral status. Even Putin can't explain But low and behold you can. LOL.
  7. As a measure of its devastation, low yield tectical nuclear bombs are many times more powerful than the Hiroshima or Nagasaki atomic bombs.
  8. Putin will not give up but will his disregard and disrespect for the fundamentals of international law on the sanctity of international borders may rebound on him and cause a Russia Federation to collapse. Failing to achieve success over Ukraine and the increasingly damaging international sanctions have caused the federal states to seize the time and pressed for greater autonomy and some may even veered towards sovereignity. There are already disquiet and economic grievaces among the federal states. Russia can collapse like the collapse of the Soviet Union. https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/russia-may-not-survive-putins-disastrous-decision-to-invade-ukraine/
  9. Good lord, this loud mouth just can’t help incriminating himself. Lawyer’s nightmare client. Lock him up.
  10. Campaign pledge make and fulfilled contrasting with pledge that Mexico will pay for the wall (unfinished) and never happened. Will boost some Dems in the mid-term who have been rising the issue of marijuana legalization central to their campaign.
  11. According to an analysis of 2019 American Community Survey (ACS) data by the New American Economy, immigrants (14 percent of the U.S. population) wield $1.3 trillion in spending power. That generate lots of sales tax revenues contribution.
  12. Agree to a point. This should not be done as a political stunt and creat a humanitarian crisis. It should be a consultative effort. Unfortunately Abbot and Desantis are simply exploiting the helpless immigrants to score political points. That’s disgusting.
  13. He also the leader of the free world. That’s a serious accolade. Don’t you think so? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/biden-leads-free-world-against-putin-trump-equivocates-n1290603
  14. His decision making and achievements match up well with most regarded Presidents of the past. Enjoy and be educated from this clipping. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2022/8/28/23325019/president-joe-biden-franklin-roosevelt-lyndon-johnson-ronald-reagan
  15. Apparently you avoid reading about Jeremy Bertino who is the top lieutenant for the Proud Boys has pleaded guilt for Jan 6 seditious conspiracy and unlawful possession of firearm.
  16. That's the outcome of a pathological liar with a compulsive or habitual tendency to lie; no one believe him to be telling the truth. Gaffes are easily forgotten. No big deal.
  17. This not only just a leak (federal felony), it's also only the prosecutors's side of their evidence to Delaware's Attorney. The defense evidence including witnesses for the defense have not not been heard.
  18. Don't really need a study as we all know that Republicans are firmly anti-vaxxers and therefore vulnerable to deaths. You practically hear from their own leaders like De Santis legislating to fight federal Covid-19 vaccination rules. Those gullible fools who hang on every words of De Santis's opposing federal rules crammed into the House and Senate galleries, filled up 2 overflow rooms and gathered on the steps of the capitol super spreader style. Hope these folks are alive. Well the study now confirmed what everyone knew of the recklessness of GOP leaders toying with the lives of their supporters.
  19. 2 years in politics is ancient. His rallies are dwindling in numbers and the company that organize the rallies is in financial quagmire. His endorsements are not meeting expectation. Lots of failures for a man who bragged that he is tire of winning. Put him off to pasture or behind bars please. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/gop-strategist-trump-base-b2055671.html
  20. That was history. Now less than half of the Republicans and independents inclined to vote with the party will even support his nomination for the 2024 election. Many would like to see someone else. A big fall for a former incumbent.
  21. Not a good time to be a Republican especially the MAGA kind.
  22. The proverbial throwing everything at the wall. Cornered and running out of legal option. Last throw if the dice scurrying to his appointed and highly controversial judge and pray that Ginni will help do his bidding as it seem she wear the pants.
  23. After living and working in KL for 15 years, I don't see much leisure opportunities than Bangkok.
  24. Personal attack is the only modus operandi of the Maga GOP besides misinformation and lies. They are not intelligent enough to talk about Dem's policies. They overplayed basement Biden last election and got a rude awakening. The public were not easily fooled. They can distinquish the difference between responsible campaigning and reckless super spreader rallies. His policies will be remembered and not his gaffes. He has done his part to beat Trump like a drum and should be remember for that achievement. He can be forgiven if he don't run in 2024.
  25. You seem triggered by her being an immigrant and smart. As for Biden, Obama was refering to him running for President in 2016. Obama prefer Hillary. Obama was a big supporter of Biden and backed him enthusiastically in his 2020 run for President. Even spoke to support Biden at the Dem Convention. You must missed all of that. Biden was seeking diplomatic and economical alternatives to deal with Iraq rather than war. His objection to taking out Osama was because there were insufficient proof that he was in the Abbottabad residence. His job was to provide his opinion as VP as there were significant risk to lives and political relationship with Pakistan. I agree with you that Trump craved the press exposures more than Biden. Anything more?
