You have no sense of smell?

I don't have a range, I am not so insecure I need multiple tests to reassure myself. Judging from you posts and their vacuity, higher than yours.

That statement was probably correct prior to the second invasion of Ukraine. The Russian army has been exposed as utterly incompetent in logistics. Its military equipment has been so inferior it has lost 4000 tanks. It does not even have air supremacy over Ukraine. Its Black Sea fleet has been forced to retreat from Sevastopol by a country with no navy. Russian GDP is about $4 trillion. The combined EU GDP is $20 trillion. Russia population 144 million, combined EU population 450 million. God is on the side of the big battalions. It depends on whether EU leaders can be cohesive enough to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. If they do, Russia is toast. Its only hope then would be tactical nukes.

Better still if they moved to Pakistan or Afghanistan. Then they can test their belief polio vaccines are just a Big Pharma conspiracy.

You are a multiple personality?

You are the one talking about deflection, without addressing any of the facts I have posted? Yeah right. The military is offering increased pay, and an easier path for those who previously would not have met physical requirements. Duh.

So when these retirees go back to where they come from, are they going back to a better or worse standard of living? Do you think they are being patriotic, by helping fund tax cuts for billionaires, and more defense spending for a country that has never been invaded, and surrounded by two oceans? What's wrong with pining for a better life? Whatever happened to aspiration? What is wrong with you?

50% of Americans believe in angels. What does that say about their sanity? There's always going to be someone smarter than me. You are not one of them.

True. I suppose my experiences with black people have been quite positive, which is why I view them in a favorable light. I used to play golf with a black American guy in Chiang Mai. Martial arts instructor, really nice person.

So is DOGE. That's why the feces are hitting the fan. How would you like to be a diabetic pensioner seeing his $6 a month insulin hiked to $80 as soon as Trump took office? I can't think of anything more stupid than firing people responsible for the safety of nuclear weapons, except some posters on this forum.

It demonstrates the esteem in which Trump is held by other nations. I am wondering when Putin will be erecting a statue in Red Square.

The epitome of a sore winner. Perhaps you have not realized reports deemed frivolous or non-factual may be ignored. Please post evidence you have been told not to use the report function. Are you on SS? Don't worry, you'll be a sore loser soon enough.

I'm thinking many of the posters here are as mad as a cut snake. Welcome into their midst.

It doesn't seem to be surging in departments such as USAID, SS and Medicare. Mass layoffs Trump might need extra military when buyer remorse really sets in. Meantime, Republican governors in half a dozen states affected by layoffs are pleading for exemptions. They can see what the mid-terms are going to do, and Trump has only been there for a month.

QED & SMH.

I'm predicting this will be a thread for some very sick people.

I have heard of two in Chiang Mai, one in Hang Dong which is about 45,000 baht/month, another off the 118 which is 90,000 baht/month. Some affluent families hire live-in retired nurses, who have to quit government hospitals at age 45. I understand they are 15,000 - 20,000 baht/month.

Who cares? Everyone knows Trump mouths off at any group that does not vote for him, or kiss his ring. How un-American is it to call fallen soldiers suckers and losers?

So do people who have had prefrontal lobotomies.

A game where players hit the ball with their heads, and practice diving into solid ground instead of water. No wonder so many do stupid things off the field.

She's probably a hell of a lot better at pleasing a man than a so-called honest woman.

You add so much to every thread.

It only takes one earthquake to screw it up. The mid-Atlantic ridge is seismically active. Next.

Claiming cost savings which later turn out to be total BS has been around ever since management consultants were born.

Says the master baiter. I post facts, when was the last time you did?
