    Perhaps the typical one sided affair—Vietnam, Afghanistan et al—but not this one, which is no good for anyone and has the potential to go supernova. 

    Yeah, then the UK France & the rest should stop with the BS trying to look tough and egging illegitimate zelensky on to fight

    especially IMHO when one is also a meglomaniac thinking he can end all wars in a 24hours, or raise tariffs on every country in the world and think that in doing so everyone will love and respect him!  He was wise to put his believers (the rich ones) so they can't declare him insane and impeach him.  If the democrats are able to take control of the house/Senate before his term is over, IMHO they will impeach him.

    of course they will, they already did twice for nothing other than a campaign slogan

    Lets hope sanity prevails and the Dems never come back to power.

    I've been around long enough to understand why wars happen, and who profits. My statement is that it was Putin's insanity that started this war. That the west wants it to go on to make money? Of course .

    So you accept and admit the west wants the war to continue then.

    From thinking he could end the war in a week, to talking down to Zelenskyy, to thinking Putin could be reasoned with, he finally realizes there is no reasoning with a dictator megalomaniac.

    Its not Putin, its the Western leaders pushing this war now, they don't want it to stop but you're too propagandised to see that. The weapons manufacturers want their wars.

    Firstly, the idea of starting “yet another” anti-Trump thread seems to imply there’s nothing left to say on the topic. However, the discussion about Trump’s presidency, including his policies and their impact on the world stage, is still very much relevant. Dismissing criticism as simply “anti-Trump” rhetoric is overly simplistic.

     

    Secondly, it’s debatable whether Sleepy Joe’s administration wanted to continue the war. While it’s true that Biden has been a strong supporter of Ukraine, it’s difficult to suggest he actively wanted the war to continue—in fact, there’s evidence that his administration has been working to facilitate negotiations.
     
    Thirdly, calling the war in Ukraine a “proxy war” ignores the fact that Ukraine is fighting for its independence and territorial integrity.
     

    Russia has made some territorial gains, but it’s not clear they’re winning. First, Russian forces have suffered heavy losses in terms of personnel and equipment, which is not the hallmark of a successful military campaign.

    Your language is pretty divisive too. Dismissing people who disagree with YOU as “brainless” is both inaccurate and unproductive. It’s a common tactic used to create an “us vs. them” mentality, which is exactly what Putin wants. Putin’s goal is to present Russia as powerful, and its enemies as weak, stupid, and morally bankrupt. That’s why he’s invested so much in propaganda. The more people repeat and believe his narrative, the easier it is for him to maintain control.

     

    So when someone says “Russia is winning,” and calls everyone else brainless for questioning it, they’re doing Putin’s job for him. How much is Putin paying you if you don't mind me asking?

    Biden & blinken refused to meet Putin for any talks, Clinton said  inbthe beginning that the war should be dragged out as long as possible to destroy Russias economy.

    You're all doing the job for the western propaganda machine, how many time were you told Russia was done, they'd lost, banckrupted etc etc... yet that's totally  contradicted when saying Putin is going to invade the EU.

    Applying real sanctions against Russia. The west say they apply sanctions, but then it violates the intent by doing special financial deals. 

    Sanctions are easily bypassed, the sanctions on Russian gas has only effected Germanys  economy and the EU citizens with 3x higher energy bills due to US LNG .

    Sanctions are also the reason for BRICS.

    The UK, France are now prolonging this war by propping up the puppet Z. You lot really should wake up to this fact, and that you have been lied to since the beginnng.

    Dude a day is day no matter what alternative reality Magaman lives in. Also he claimed again and again he would stop the war even before his inauguration. This happened yet?

    At least he has actually done something, its the EU prolonging and escalating the situation now, Zelenskey is just an illegitimate puppet since this time last year.

    I remember previous presidents campaing on closing Guantanamo... still open, bumet you weren't holding them to thair words though were you.

    The nonstop scrutiny is part of the syndrome

    I've been location-independent myself for 16 years and I can assure you it isn't possible to actually work at the beach.

     

    All I'm saying is that in my experience, those who post pics like the one below (usually with clichés such as "this is my office") are often posers looking for validation on social media, wannabe YouTubers etc.

    Yeah, maybe some do that, They are not working, just looking for attention from their friends or followers.

     

  9. At least Trump has actively tried, which is more than any previous US president has done with regards to ending a war

    the EU warmongers don't want it to end, they don't care about those dying, they are the ones now backing the Zman to continue the already lost war.

    Zelensky is out of term, he is not president anymore.

    During his first term (2017-2021), Donald Trump spent approximately 428 days on a golf course, which was about a quarter of his time in office.

    For his current term, early reports indicate he has continued to frequent golf courses. 

    For example, some sources state he played golf on 13 of the first 48 days he was back in office.

     

     

    Apart from the fact that "428" days claim is total BS, At least Trump is capable of playing a round of golf, Biden couldn't even walk off a podium without help

    How about the stats on Public appearances,  press questions, meetings in these first 100 days, reducing border crossings by 97%, oh and while not taking the presidential salary, he did all that for free, so I think a couple of rounds of golf are fine.

    If you have an actual viable business.

     

    Most "digital nomads" who post selfies of themselves in their "office" on the beach are not actually working. To work, you need an office chair, a desk and convenient lighting, not sand and a deckchair.

    how many do you actually know?

    That's a bit of a false stereotype to be honest, i know quite a few that work online in various jobs, if they have an online meeting or are teaching then yes, they go home and are sitting at a desk, or what ever..but if that is only for certain hours they why can they not work anywhere they please for the rest?

    Not trying to be negative, just curious, are these the ten most common grifter roles foreigners fall into in Thailand, or are there others people have come across?

     

    1. Pattaya YouTuber

    2. Shoestring blogger

    3. Freelance English teacher with no visa

    4. Crypto bro not making it

    5. Spiritual nomad or tantric healer

    6. Digital nomad come consultant

    7. Visa fixer middleman

    8. Washed-up DJ or bartender

    9. Illegal tour guide or motorcycle rental hustler

    10. Illegal dive instructor or restaurant worker

     

     

    Teacher, digital nomad are not really grifting. It would be very fortunate to be able to work remotely, earn home wages and live in thailand.

    "...There were 2 assassination attempts on trump..."

     

    Not so sure about that.

     

    Additional photos and dialogue indicate there is no evidence that his ear was grazed or penetrated or damaged etc.

     

    Close up photos reveal no damage whatever to his ear / no change in his skin texture etc. Just more trump blatant very misleading lies. 

    So the guy that won the purlitzer prze for his photo of the bullet mid air was actually a fake photoshop

    And you guys say maga is a cult!!
