Oh you were wandering off topic to talk about your misunderstandings of past conflicts so you can avoid discussing the clear patriotic and strong leadership of President Biden, as he stands by America’s allies, supports the right of democratic nations to defend themselves against illegal military invasion and obscene attacks while upholding international law.

EU abandons promise to ban toxic chemicals in consumer products
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It’s been left out of the current policy proposals. Though disappointing it’s not abandoning the policy. The case for banning harmful and ‘forever’ chemicals still stands. -
Hang on a minute. You want the US out of other people’s lives and you blame the IS for getting out of other people’s lives in Afghanistan of snd of course you invent and then attribute some views to ‘lefties’. Read the timeline you’ll understand who it was who ordered the immediate unconditional release of Taliban militants from Afghan prisons. The US did not go to Afghanistan to improve the lives of Afghan women. The appalling treatment of Afghan women is down to the Taliban and whoever it was who ordered the unconditional release of thousands of Taliban from Afghan prisons. Oh and the UK withdrew too.

Nah, he’ll do what he always does. Pullout before discovery and deposition. My advice to his lawyer Hugh Tomlinson KC, demand payment in advance and don’t accept a cheque.

Your whole ‘Afghanistan withdrawal’ is a deflection Jonny. And one for which you are willfully ignorant of the facts. Perhaps Biden should stay out of other lives, and not petition Israel to allow aid into Gaza and not provide weapons to the Ukranian’s in order that they can fight the illegal military invasion of their country. Thankfully he chooses otherwise. That he also doesn’t try to extort Ukraine is a bonus. Oh and Congress votes the Budget, not the President.

You should perhaps inform yourself of the regional politics and strategic interests around both the Ukraine and Israel. You might also wish to consider which other nations are watching to see if seizing territory by illegal military invasion is something that they might get away with. The death of people in Gaza was an inevitable outcome of Hamas’ obscene terrorist attack on Israel, perhaps a desired outcome. It would not be happening if Hamas had not attacked Israel.

Or the the US could sit back and let the war in Ukraine spread to the point where the US had to once again send its youth to die in Europe. While at the same time letting other nations observe that they can take territory by illegal wars of invasion. Supporting Ukraine and Israel with military hardware is a lot more accepting to US voters than sending their sons and daughters to war. But thank you for reminding us that Putin’s propaganda is still in play.

Also from the same article: “ The rapid rise is attributed to the growing presence of EVs on British roads, spanning cars, trucks, e-bikes, and electric scooters. Sarah Martin, president of Honeywell Sensing and Safety Technologies (SST), commented: “Although we are seeing a striking increase in fires related to EVs, the number is still low in relation to the total EVs in use across the UK, which exceeds 1.1 million.” The 1.1million seems to be way under the actual number, since there are approaching 500,000 e-bikes in the UK and approximately 750,000 e-scooters. Which raises another issue. Are fires caused by e-bikes, e-scooters, e-mono wheels, e-hoverboards being conflated with fires in EV motor cars/busses etc? These various forms of EVs are certainly not manufactured to the same standards. https://ebiketips.road.cc/content/news/uk-e-bike-sales-slow-due-to-cost-of-living-crisis-with-lack-of-subsidies-a-barrier-4297#:~:text=E-bike sales have tripled,estimated 155%2C000 bikes in 2022. https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2022-12-08/debates/185895BF-38BE-4550-A19D-7642420D3487/E-ScootersAntisocialUse#:~:text=It is estimated that there,in the years to come.
