  1. Isn't Israel already willing and able to get them, irrespective of whatever Trump may say? They didn't need him to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah leaders (and others members).
  2. As usual, a lame deflection! 😆 https://www.britannica.com/topic/Labour-and-Socialist-International Fact is that the Nazis were not Socialist as they never belonged to any Socialist or Communist Internationel.
  3. Russia's GDP is at around the same level as Italy. It's around ten times lower than the U.S. https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/by-gdp Russia always wants to compare itself to the U.S, but it's clearly trying to punch over its weight.
  4. The UK GDP growth problem certainly did not start under the Labour government... https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/gdp-growth
  5. Educate yourself. Labour and Socialist parties, which did not want to be under Bolchevik domination in the Comintern, created their own International, which was seen as a continuation of the Second International. It was also the precursor of the current Socialist International. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_and_Socialist_International Fact is that the Nazis never joined any of the two "International".
  6. Just curious. The Tories have been governing the country for 14 years. Why haven't they done it already?
  7. You are confusing with the Comintern. At the time of the Nazi party (and since 1919), there were two "International": the Labour and Socialist one, and the Communist one. The Nazis have never been part of any of them.
  8. I remember that time. Riclag even chose Durham's photo for his forum ID!
  9. The proof being that the Nazis have been part of the Socialist International (whatever the number). Otherwise it would just be another of your B.S. claim! Oh wait! 😆
  10. Yet PPP is not relevant to compare the economic power of countries, as it's not real money. In real money, it ranks 11th, with a GDP level close to Italy. On top of it, the recent GDP growth is artificial as it has been fueled by military expenses, while the civil economy was declining. As I wrote before, Russia waited to have accumulated enough foreign currency reserves, and also that price of energy increased, before starting the invasion, so it would be able to finance it. In the current situation, the foreign currency reserve is declining and the price of energy is on a decreasing trend, so Russia won't be able to finance a war at the same level as before. (I am not even mentioning inflation, the impact of sanctions, etc...)
  11. Complete B.S., as usual! 😆 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_terrorist_attacks_in_the_United_States
  12. I know the place and the guards. They are quite nice and helpful. The guy probably got angry and made a fuss (which I may understand). From what I was told, he was at the gate and wanted to get into the residence (probably in the hope of being able to complain to someone). I assume there was also a communication issue as the level of English of the guards is poor. Their response was obviously too violent, but it's their job to prevent non-residents from going inside, and to preserve the quietness of residents.
  13. I don't think NK soldiers were given any choice. From what I heard, they are sent first and sacrified to weaken Ukrainian defenses, and then Russian soldiers follow.
  14. No 🤣 It is Germany. https://countrycassette.com/countries-by-gdp-ppp-purchasing-power-parity/ And PPP is not really relevant to compare the economic power of countries. https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/by-gdp
  15. Are they still residing in Quatar? It seems they are now hosted by Turkey This is from November: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/08/politics/qatar-hamas-doha-us-request/index.html https://www.timesofisrael.com/qatar-confirms-departure-of-hamas-leaders-says-groups-doha-mission-may-remain/
  16. Remember you are lying. 😆 He lost flat and square in 2020.
  17. Some recent statistics about illegal aliens' employment https://edworkforce.house.gov/uploadedfiles/9.13.23_camarota_testimony_help_subcommittee_hearing_on_open_borders_and_workforce.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjW7JHC59aKAxVPXWwGHShbCgoQFnoECB4QAQ&usg=AOvVaw0hBr7ePnu5LzZJ_UmDyZ6r
  18. B.S. There are no nuclear missiles stationed at the doorstep of Russia and there was no plan to do so. Nukes have remained where there were at the end of the cold war and have not been moved to NATO countries closer to Russia, such as Poland. The NATO threat is just Russian propaganda, as evidenced by the decrease of military budgets of European NATO countries and the decrease of U.S. military presence in Europe, prior to the invasion of Ukraine. https://www.cfr.org/in-brief/nuclear-weapons-europe-mapping-us-and-russian-deployments As to conventional missiles, the decision to increase their number and locations is a response to the invasion of Ukraine https://thebulletin.org/2024/08/missiles-on-the-move-why-us-long-range-missiles-in-germany-are-just-the-tip-of-the-iceberg/
  19. And also develop more its European weapon industry instead of buying U.S. made weapon. (not sure it's what Trump had in mind)
  20. So there won't be any terrorist attack under Trump? Even Trump did not include it in his set of fake promises! 😆
  21. Musk is afflicted by Asperger's autism syndrome. Such people are very bright but may have other issues, such as overfocusing on some matters at the expense of coping with reality.
  22. Russia waited that it accumulated a significant foreign currency reserve, and also that energy price increased, before invading Ukraine. Now they have spent most of their reserve and energy prices are down......
  23. Both explanations are not exclusive to each other. Terrorist organisations often target people with personality issues (not necessarily working in IT, he was joking) and tell them they are the chosen ones and similar B.S.
