Nice fairy tale. They were quite aware of the functions fulfilled by the EU. As other member States, UK participated in the design of treaties, directives and regulations, and approved them. Nothing was hidden. The UK civil servants were not "lazy", it was not their duty to fulfil functions attributed to the EU, and there was no budget for it. What the incompetent people governing UK did not take into account, after the Brexit vote and the agreement with the EU, was that the EU was not only a cost, and that they had to fund and carry out several activities previously done by the EU. As they had not anticipated and planed much manpower for it, UK has become an Eldorado for consulting firms.

Single market or custom union.

I checked the French navy policy and It's similar. One in maintenance and one out. However, in March, when Russia made threats, they sent 2 more subs out. The reason given was to send clear signals to Russia. I also read that It's safer for the subs, as there is always a risk that the base may be hit.

Maybe not surprising...

If I understand well, he meant that U.K. has not been treated worse than in other agreements with other countries, and even a bit better (excluding 'common market's types if agreement, as UK did not want to join it on equal terms as other participants, I.e. Norway, etc...).

I also guess that during periods of perceived threat, there are more than one sub out.

But not this case.

It looks like Trump is toast. ????

It's a press conference. The video is on YouTube, among others.

Some cases are more straightforward than others. They are clearly delimited and rely on well identified factual evidence. This case and the MAL documents case are in this category and will very likely end up with an indictment and a conviction. The Georgia case is a bit more uncertain, there is clear evidence, but Trump will claim an alternative interpretation. The January 6 case is complex and may last for years.

I guess it may depend on the sellers, some may be more reliable than others. I bought joints from Ganjawitch in Pattaya. It was expensive 650 to 750 bht. It was the same quality level as the premium weed I bought in a good cannabis club I know in Barcelona. Just cheaper in Barcelona (7/10 euros , 300/400 bht/gr). I am only an occasional smoker, so one gram of high grade weed is several joints for me. It may be different for other people.

The packaging as a joint is misleading. The premium stuff has a high % of THC (in the 20-27% zone). So unless one is highly tolerant to THC, It's more than one or two joints. From one big joint, I made several joints, and each of them got me quite high during 2-3 hours.

And That's stupid because the one who is responsible is Trump himself. Caring parents don't involve their children in fishy business (unless they are mafiosi).

Now the moron is suggesting the FIB may have been looking for Clinton's emails! ???? "There's also a lot of speculation because of what they did, the severity of the FBI coming and raiding Mar-a-Lago. Were they looking for the Hillary Clinton emails that were deleted, but they are around someplace?" ???? https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/22/politics/trump-clinton-emails-hannity-interview/index.html

For MAGA fans, it seems that stating that Trump's claims about rigged elections are B.S. actually means being anti-Trump.

Years of pain caused by internal discord and unrealistic claims on the UK side. Kind of mourning period for the irrational expectations raised by the Brexit campaign, before coming back to reality. The EU position has remained constant over time and was predictable.

"Claiming that you have money you don’t have is not the art of the deal, It’s the art of the steal.” ????

The treaty doesn't mention it, but: - when UK was a member of the EU, its politicians and civil servants had been participating in several negotiations, meetings, design of treaties (i.e. article 50) etc... so they were quite knowledgeable about the way the EU would deal with such an issue. It was either the common market or third party country status. There was no way UK could get the benefits of the common market without the related constraints and rules. - no mention of "senior partner" but that's the reality of power unbalance. This is not the world of Care Bears. As usual, Brexit is about blaming others!

More bad news! ???? New York attorney general files civil fraud lawsuit against Trump, some of his children and his business https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/21/politics/trump-new-york-attorney-general-letitia-james-fraud-lawsuit/index.html ""These acts of fraud and misrepresentation were similar in nature, were committed by upper management at the Trump Organization as part of a common endeavor for each annual Statement, and were approved at the highest levels of the Trump Organization -- including by Mr. Trump himself," the lawsuit states."

It's quite interesting to see how greedy people can be imaginative! And also how dumb they can be! It is obvious that they were leaving too many traces. This kind of scheme may remain unnoticed only in countries where one can easily bribe authorities (you see what I mean ????).

Right. China will not condone the use of nuclear weapons. Too much chaos. China is in great part a planned economy and society. Planners hate chaos. On top of it, It's not good for business. India has strong links to Russia but trade with Russia is neglectible. The main economic partners are NATO countries, with USA ranked first.

Following this logic, it would be better that current inhabitants stop having children, as it would reduce the number of criminals! ????

What are you talking about? Which facts?

How do you know the EU doesn't work? It's impossible to know what would be the economic situation (I.e. GDP growth) of European economies without the EU. Japan did not fare better, the Brexited UK seems to fare a bit worse, the U.S. fared better, etc... Economic differences between countries are a drawback (for the Eurozone), higher level of economies of scale, higher international negotiating power and influence are advantages, etc... what had the strongest impact? The drawbacks or the advantages? The ASEAN is a quite different case, a "Union light" compared to the EU.

The hypocrisy was to send them to a small isolated Island just for political reasons, without caring whether it was convenient of not for the migrants.
