  1. I would posit that they think Trump is no friend and deserves to go down with the ship. He keeps saying the war is over. Maybe they believe he would never lie.
  2. I thought countries like India, Pakistan and North Korea previously had programs to create nuclear weapons so why didn't the USA bomb them into the stone age? Couldn't be cowardice in the face of a state that could return fire? So much for Hegseth's excuses.
  3. This actually happened. Waiting in line to have the boarding pass/passport checked and boarding the aircraft. Two Chinese women pretending to be talking but sneaking down the line to the front. They were doing it really slowly so as not to be noticed. They thought. Some choice words from me froze them but they kept trying to edge to the front. Eventually, in a very loud voice so the airline people could hear, "Get the heck (something like that) to the back of the line and stop trying to sneak to the front!"
  4. Forgive me if I am wrong but I remember reading that the reason the USA didn't sign up to the ICC was they didn't want American soldiers tried for war crimes (Mai Lai and so on). People laughing at the ICC should think about that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_International_Criminal_Court#:~:text=United%20States%20policy%20concerning%20the,for%20Israeli%20leaders%20in%202024.
  5. Not allowing the Clintons to speak in public was strange enough. Now, hiding the truth on the Iranian war is more perverse.
  6. President Truman was a Democrat. He was the first to recognize Israel. Hardly antisemite.
  7. She turned out right as America lost the Vietnam war.
  8. I swear you can't make this up. Trump has authorized the use of migrant workers as they don't have enough to work on the farms. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/us/politics/farm-labor-trump-migrant-workers-h2a.html Every policy is now failing.
  9. Why are people raising hope then dashing it? Bibi should retire and drink coffee for the rest of his life.
  10. I wasn't born in 1939. Neville Chamberlain was though! He was born in 1869. Nice guess.
  11. I was under the impression they bombed US military bases, but I take your word they bombed Qatari and Omani civilians
  12. Where is the blur? Looks pretty clear to most people he is profiting from diplomacy.
  13. It doesn't look like they actually proved it was the People's Party but are trying to find ways to dissolve the party, as usual.
  14. Thai doctors should be consulting with AN posters as the answers are all here from our team of experts if you ask a question. Except when it comes to vaccinations, of course. 👎 /S
  15. From strutting around like a pink cock of the walk, the Donald has turned to begging and pleading for help. You get what you deserve.
  16. While I believe the EU stabilized trade among members, prior to its birth there were a few horror stories. The infamous "butter mountain" were part of massive, government-subsidized surpluses of butter that accumulated in the European Economic Community (EEC, now EU) during the 1970s and 1980s. The EEC bought excess butter to stabilize markets, leading to mountains of items, along with "wine lakes". The surpluses largely disappeared by 2017 and have not been seen again. They have strived for stability since.
  17. Largest market on their doorstep and they want to rather get deals with India.
  18. Why would trump ask china for help winning a war he already won? On March 7, 2026, Donald Trump told the UK that the U.S. had "already won" the war with Iran, Hebron, Kentucky Rally (March 11, 2026): Trump told supporters, "We’ve won. Let me tell you, we’ve won... In the first hour, it was over. We won". He repeated "We've won" multiple times during the speech to emphasize that Iran's military capabilities were "virtually destroyed". Truth Social Posts (March 13, 2026): Following a major bombing raid on Kharg Island, Trump posted that Iran is "totally defeated" and that its plans to take over the Middle East are "now dead". Media Interviews (March 12–15, 2026): In various exchanges with reporters and outlets like NBC News and Fox News Radio, he has maintained that the U.S. is "way ahead of schedule" and that the conflict is "moving along very rapidly" toward a successful conclusion.
