  1. What spigots? US has not been funding the EU. The reality is that Russia did not pose a threat to many EU members, or Canada. The constant intrusions into Canada by Russian nuclear armed aircraft was a threat to US security not Canada. The USA needs the EU and others to protect its shipping routes. The USA economy is trade dependent and if it cannot import the materials it needs, its economy flounders. Time to start considering the ramifications if the rest of the world stops purchasing US products and/or stops selling to the USA at preferred prices. All that is needed to cause the USA economy to tailspin is a reduction in its exports of 10%. 5% will result in layoffs and loss of tax revenues. So does the USA. Only the USA's Trump is threatening to default on its debt. US consumer market is dependent on China. If China stops selling to the USA, Walmart, Costco and others will be empty of products. The Chinese are a lot stronger and more unified that the USA. They can go without fancy things. Deny an American his pork rinds and the trailer parks will erupt in riots. How will Europe Replace Russian gas - They have done so with Gulf Arab imports. Canada is about to change its energy export policy and we may see one of the world's largest oil and gas reserves made available. Should Europe Even the Tariff Playing Field- How about the US removing its trade barriers? The US has some of the toughest. Is a European Army Practical Yes.It can be structured as per the existing NATO protocols. At the very least Germany can train with France and the UK. What Social Benefits need to be Cut to Pay for European Defense -None In Light of the Cowardly Nature of Western European Youth, Should the Eastern European form a Separate Military Bloc- They are already integrated with the western EU. There is no Eastern EU now other than Romania and Bulgaria, and they are backward states to begin with. Whats Does Germanys Reversal of Class Interests in the Recent Election say about the future of Leftist parties in Europe- The social progressive movement remains strong and will not disappear. How Does the Green Agenda affect European Power generation and Industrial Expansion - Have you read the Green proposals? Some are quite intelligent and forward thinking. They focus on resilience, efficiency and sustainability. If the USA doesn't participate and respect others, it will not have a seat at the table and will have little influence.
  2. Hasn't X shared info with ICE in the usa?
  3. AN members only demand that if perp is Black, Chinese, Indian or Israeli.
  4. Trailer parks across the US south have let loose collective flatulence in your support. As soon as residents can waddle on over to the recruiting station they will enlist.
  5. USA is the only country to have invoked Article 5 of NATO agreement. It needlessly wasted NATO resources on a failed war. Billions of $$ wasted. NATO members should ask for their money back and compensation for deaths and injuries.
  6. Ferry closed down years ago. btw Hua Hin has been packed with visitors since November.
  7. So far, they have been consistent. It is not like Trump is going to doing anything to contain expansionist russia.
  8. Get new dentures or have an enema.
  9. Even worse. You claim that because you have bids there are no problems. Brilliant.
  10. Wait until some traitor sells the electronic codes to China.
  11. The existing laws state that this man must be treated as a refugee until the required legal process is completed. Until the claims are substantiated he may be given liberty. Yes the treaties and laws are F-ed up, and yes successive governments are useless on this issue, and yes he should be locked up and thrown out. However, anytime a government tries to respond, hundreds of thousands turn out to protest and peple like corbyn, abott, church leaders, immans and labour unions assemble to block the changes. The problem is the lack of spine in the UK. One thing trump is doing well has been to stop the massive inflow of migrants into the usa. The UK can learn from that.
  12. a ketamine-fueled buffoon charged with purging the civil service. Beautiful prose
  13. Know why they have dirt roads in Afghanistan? So NATO troops can be wasted serving US political adventures. The French were good enough for the US to rely on them in Africa to contain the Islamic jihadists.
  14. They can't do much. The Thai authorities have to respond to a complaint, and they rarely do.
  15. Trickle down economics and initiating massive budget deficits in large part because of tax cuts for a small group.
  16. Not at all, You are claiming that you have many projects in the pipeline. Wonderful for you, but it has no relevance if not taken in consideration of the total numbers. If the total number of projects and their values is reduced, then it means that others are not enjoying the same success you are bragging about and that does have a negative impact.
  17. And your point is? Your having projects means nothing for the greater good if the total value of all projects has decreased.
  18. Ok, but others would prefer not to leave a malignant tumor growing. Others don't want to ignore their dental health. Your desires are for your life and fortunately you have no say in national admninistration.
  19. Only because it's best friend Germany turned on it. Russia was an aggressive ally of the Nazis and enabled WWII. It's pact with the Nazis emboldened the Nazis. Russia invaded and annexed part of China as a vile colonial occupier. Together with the Nazis it attacked Poland. It was Russia who attacked and annexed the peaceful non threatening Baltic states in 1940. It was Russia who attacked Finland. Russia's expansionism and pursuit of land and resources in effect forced the Nazis to consider Russia as an enemy state. East Europeans had good reason to fear Russia and look to Germany as a means to defend against the Russian barbarians.
  20. Your nonsense might be dismissed as an illinformed opinion, but when it ignores documented evil acts, it speaks to an underlying intentional intent to mislead and present false information. Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) was a scheduled passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that was shot down by Russian-backed forces with a Buk 9M38 surface-to-air missile on 17 July 2014, while flying over eastern Ukraine. All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed. Between January and February 2022, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and up to 500 recruited ATO veterans attempted to overthrow the Ukrainian government and install pro-Russian rule in various cities for their further surrender to the Russian Army. Amongst those recruited include the Chechen Kadyrovites, Wagner Group mercenaries, and other pro-Russian forces, particularly past Party of Regions members (including former Yanukovych officials) and individuals affiliated with Ukrainian Choice. The plan was ultimately cancelled after its key individuals were detained n Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa Oblasts by SBU and National Police forces.
  21. This is your opinion. RSV and Influenza are highly infectious and unless you are in critical condition, you can recover at home where you will not infect others. If you have COPD, Were you vaccinated against RSV and flu? Because you think a processed beef patty at a junk food purveyor was once larger, you belive that Thailand is better? You are obviously biased and looking for anything to reinforce you bias. McDonald's beef pattys are consistent in size and recipe. It is a universal standardization. A big mac is the same in Japan as it is Canada or the USA. Standardization is a cornerstone of the company. That's why the milkshake machines are always out of service and the company doesn;t offer them anymore in many countries.
  22. Easy answer. Look at the air quality index. A bit difficult to enjoy life when your lungs are being destroyed.
  23. Economies always survive. The quality though is a different matter. The US economy continued during the Great Depression, but many citizens starved or froze to death. US has had multiple economic meltdowns where its poor die and its wealthy often lose their fortunes. No worries, right?
