Rubbish I said I can't find the video  backing the other half of my claim

you however have not acknowledged that the US defence secretary said

"we want to see Russia weakened"  why not ?

"I can't find the video backing the other half of my claim" How convenient, may be because it doesn't exist.

And I am not questioning you what was not said rather than what was said. You are are 24 carat troll! 

Stop making posts up and you'll avoid posters questioning your lies!

Just now, johng said:

When I find the video you will of course apologise ?

notice you do not reference US secretary of defence statement on weakening Russia  is that a lie too ?

I saw no reference to the statement of which you claimed that "Ukrainian losses are well worth the price !

quite disgusting really.".  You purposely lied because that's what you do!

I am not fabricating my own facts

 

You really are in your own world....

part of my "claim"  is that one aim of the war is to weaken Russia militarily  and economically.

The video  I posted clearly shows that as true  listen to what the US defence secretary said   "we want to see Russia weakened" 

 

 

 

Stop back peddling, you lied!

Does the video I posted say that the goal is to weaken Russia ?

simple question yes or no answer.

 

I'm not a liar,however my memory is not photographic

( to remember website URL's of everything that is supposed to be Googles job)

 

But I do remember seeing said video..

You will of course retract your accusation when I post the video of whomever it was stating that the Ukrainian losses are worth it ?

You claimed something that was not in your link and now you try and worm your way out of it like a disingenuous poster you are, stop fabricating your own facts!

Does it not say that the goal is to weaken Russia in that video ?  why can't you be honest ?

 

I have said that finding the other part of my statement is proving a bit difficult due to memory holing.

I'll find it eventually  with no help from your best friend at Google.

You have to have a good memory to be a good liar, you are suffering from amnesia!

You lied!

I have just tried the rolled up towel method as shown in my YouTube video and there feels to be a marked improvement, fingers crossed. 🤞

It can be very confusing as Lazada will say "free shipping" let's say that the shipping cost is 170 baht they will knock 40 baht off making it 130 baht, slightly duplicitous?

There is no single "knee surgery" but rather a number of different procedures depending on the specific problem.

 

Nothing you have said suggests a current need for any of them.

 

There are also a number of non-surgical treatments  again depending on the exact ptoblem.  treatments. Ant-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, HA injections, PRP,   physical therapy etc. 

 

You need to see a good ortho  and get the knee examined and possibly Xrayed (not always necessary). You will then have an actual diagnosis and recommendations for management specific to it. 

 

Careful with the experiences of others whose problems may have been entirely different. 

 

And careful with exercises until you have a diagnosis. You could do yourself some harm.

 

Where in Thailand are you located?

Thanks for the reply Sheryl, I am near Sattahip.

I have tried these knee straps and it just makes the knees more painful.🥴

you might get a bit tired reading this summary of arthritis symptoms, treatments , etc

 

but it is a good summary .   probably you will need some help figuring out what is your problem , and then what is best for you ( could always try the get stoned before sleep method first . )

Thanks for the intensive reading material.😱

Walking is not a problem, the problem occurs when I go to a restaurant and I'm seated for an hour or so and decide to stand then the knees lock up for a wee while. I do weighted carries as part of a fitness exercise to stave off dementia and the like. Part of weight training involves squatting with a bar etc and it's just impossible for do this comfortably. So at the moment I'm doing more upper body than lower body and I don't want to end up looking like a funnel. 😉

Try exercise & stretching. I swear by a couple of strong isometric knee extensions (2 min each) per week, and

Bob and Brad have a lot of vids about knee pain. They're good.

Get the kneecap to stay in alignment. Things, esp at our ages, don't have to be 100%. Maybe they can never be, at this point. But just getting a problem under control so that it's basically OK and not getting worse will do.

Thanks or the very helpful advice and as luck would have it my wife has one of those sloping boards, never used it myself though, but having watched that video I'll give it a try. 👍

My knees were 74 years old just lately and although I don't have much problem walking, squatting is another kettle of fish. I have not sought any medical advice but I strongly suspect it may be arthritis. Have any other members got any advice on the subject, I have just seen this video on YouTube but have not tried it yet. Anyone know the cost of a knee operation should push come to shove.

First time ever I've agreed with Guy Verhofstadt.

Look here man,i explained it to you before.

Who is praising mass murderers here?

During a moment of silence you are free to think what you want.

Some could have prayed for his soul others could thank their god for taking him out.

"Look here man, I explained it to you before"

Do me a big favour and don't explain anything to me in your overly pompous attitude. Try telling the that to the families of the 25,000 he is responsible for murdering, try telling that to the women who are raped and it is them that is killed, try telling that to the women that are caught for not wearing head coverings and are hung. 

He and his regime deserves nothing but scorn, a minutes silence....perleeaase. 🤮🤮

Total dogma. He was a head of state. They would have done the same for Putin, Kim, Xi, MBS, and many other serial killers. 

Justifying praising mass murderers cannot be morally correct by any means!

Listen to George Galloway on his twice weekly show. A few truths on there.

This is the man you get your zany ideas from.

George Galloway has been sacked by talkRADIO after sending an allegedly anti-Semitic tweet.

I don't agree with the tone of your post Bob. Most of what you are saying happened was propaganda and has mostly been debunked. You are echoing the Israel propaganda machine.

 

As for 'rape and barbaric evil deeds' I suggest you take off the blinkers and do some research.

The terrorists took videos of themselves committing these horrendous crimes so your denialism doesn't hold any water, turning a blind eye to recorded facts does very little for the credibility of some posters.
