Looking at Ben Wallace, he's a career soldier, not a diplomat or scholar. And he's not the brightest tool in the box either: "In August 2019, Wallace was overheard discussing Johnson's controversial prorogation of parliament with Florence Parly, the French Armed Forces minister. He suggested that the reason for the prorogation for five weeks was to prevent MPs from blocking the government's Brexit plans, rather than the government's official position that it was to introduce a new legislative agenda. 10 Downing Street responded to his comments by admonishing him and stating that he had "misspoken"." Loose lips and giving away government policy, okay. What else? "On 23 February 2022, Wallace was filmed saying that the Scots Guards "kicked the backside" of Nicholas I of Russia during the Crimean War, and could do so again. Russia invaded Ukraine the following day." So a delusional national chauvinist to boot. Okay. Russia has invaded the Donbass. Where are the Scots Guards now, Mr Wallace? Okay, so he's a delusional chauvinist, but he's a smart guy, he wouldn't be easily fooled, right? "On 21 March 2022, clipped footage of Wallace in a prank call by Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus was released online. The duo (suspected by the British government to have links to Russian security services or of being Russian state actors) impersonated the Ukrainian prime minister Denys Shmyhal saying that Ukraine wished to promote its own nuclear deterrent to protect itself from Russia, a false claim made by the Russian government during the Russo-Ukrainian War and the invasion of Ukraine. Wallace was believed to be on a Microsoft Teams call with the duo for ten minutes." Ali G would have had a field day with Ben Wallace, lol. Okay Clearly Mr Ben Wallace is not the brightest man in the world, just a career soldier and nationalist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician)

We have to look at the facts. Has Putin ever said he wants to annex all of the UKraine? No. He has said however that he wants the Donbass. What is happening? The main fighting is in the Donbass. Why can't we just look at what's on record, what Putin said, and what is happening on the ground? Surley that will gives us a better indication than speculating or some article which just happens to spew exactly the same propaganda lies as NATO does on its website, when they took Putin's view on history and misconstrued it as a master plan to occupy all of Eastern Europe and to resconstitute Imperial Russia. Someone is lying to us here, but it's not Putin.

Well, if Harris has this humongous and unassailable lead in the polls, as some people here believe, why would she risk a debate with the man who slayed the current president in a debate? She could then skip the debate altogether. However, clearly Harris does not have the unassailable lead some believe, instead she knows she needs the chance to do well in a debate, even if it is not on her terms. Nah, Trump never intended not to debate, he only wanted the old rules retained which worked so well against Biden.

And what do you have to be not to realise the link was from the Washington Post, not Trump's media co?

Which is quite interesting, isn't it, so Harris does not think she is doing so well that she can skip the debate. IMHO Trump never intended to pull out of the debate. He just threatened it so Harris don't get their demand to change the rules. Classic art of negotiation, walk away if you don't get what you want. It worked, as usual. Of course Trump was in no way desperate to avoid the debate, he had a reason to walk away here with Harris' last minute rule changers, but he will debate on the agreed date. Just on the terms he wanted, which was the old rules. See this is the kind of guy you want in charge of negotiations. not a woman who has zero economic acumen and no skill for negotiation

Britain's relations with Russia were going rather well in modern times, twenty years ago Britain of course profited with millions from the influx of Russian oligarchs into London. That did lead to some friction with Russia, as some criminals like Berezovsky and others used the London base to agitate against Russia, some were wanted for tax crimes in Russia. However, it did not terribly disrupt relations with the UK, in 2013 Cameron flew to visit Putin and was full of praise. However, it was again the poison chalice Ukraine that completely ruined relations with Britain. When NATO announced in 2008 that Ukraine would become a member it was clear to Russia that a policy of enrcirclement and weakening Russia would follow and all the promises to include Russia in a post 1990 security framework were just empty lies. So Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 after extremely pro Western forces came to the forefront in Ukraine, which demanded nuclear weapons for some time. A pro-American Ukraine with nuclear weapons was intolerable to Russia. Following the Crimea invasion relations with the UK really deteriorated. Anyway, as many posters here have correctly pointed out, the author of the regurgitated article here is just again trying to construct the same propaganda lie which NATO has published on its website that Putin is a mad dictator intent on reconstituting Imperial Russia. Nothing could be further from the truth. As has been pointed out already, Russia can't even occupy all of Ukraine, its neighbour, least of all invade or occupy the UK. So your crumpets are more than safe.

So Trump did not pull out. He agreed to debate on the agreed date. However, ABC and the Dems have given up the shameless demand that the rules be changed to favour Harris. I suppose this was master class in the art of negotiation for Harrisworld and ABC. “I have reached an agreement with the Radical Left Democrats for a Debate with Comrade Kamala Harris,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform, confirming the debate will be Sept. 10 in Philadelphia. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/27/trump-harris-debate-sept-10/

I already did. Many hybrid systems will run the gas engine at a higher speed than needed, but one that's efficient, and use the extra power to run a motor-generator that can then feed power to the battery or directly to a traction motor. Yes, in the city the hybrid saves even more fuel, but the hybrid is more economical on long distances too: Take the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid as an example; it uses the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine as the nonhybrid Civic but swaps in a hybrid transmission packing a pair of electric motors. The nonhybrid model's best fuel-economy ratings are 32 mpg in the city and 41 on the highway. Adding the hybrid gear raises both figures, which come in at 50 mpg in the city and 47 on the highway. So while the city number gets a bigger boost and surpasses the highway figure thanks to the hybrid system, the hybrid has a fuel-economy benefit regardless of where and how it's driven. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a61730444/are-hybrids-good-for-long-distance-driving/

Is he really now? What's he saying about me behind my back? Tell me, or I can't sleep tonight 😂 Nah, I live in a villa in Thailand with an unbelievably gorgeous Thai girl. I stole her from a Ukrainian, btw. No joke.

Makes sense, though I'd never show the account in the first place. The main one I mean.

So I could give my second account to the Mia noi. Not a bad idea. Thanks!

She won't be crushing anyone. Even sweet Tulsi Gabbard was too much to handle for her. Imagine Trump.

Such as?

That's right, giant farms of posters are being operated right now, just to produce posters who disagree with you. ' Good luck with banning all the posters who disagree with you. How's it working out so far? Lol I need to get back to my stud duties now, see ya later.

A bit rich for you to accuse someone else of this when you have engaged in incessant mispresentations of the facts 24/ 7 on literally every thread here. The only supporters who are lacking in honesty and integrity are the Democrat supporters yet again, who, when Kamala Harris tries to weasel out of a debate by requesting last minute rule changes, try to spin this as if Donald Trump does not want to debate Harris. Talk about a lack of integrity and honesty.

1. Yes. 2. Why do you want another account if you have one already? 3. It's a 5 year visa, unlikely. They explicitly said you can use it as many times as you want within a 5 year period.

The only way to deal with an ant infestation is to locate the nest and put poison that is then fed to the queen. Spraying the passage does nothing, they will just reappear once the effect of the spray wears off.

Great link as always. “My dear departed grandmothers (whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics,” he wrote." Impressive man.

Oh my God, so he's a pedophile by hearsay? You're going way over the top.

Well his media company was a stroke of genius and made him a fortune alone. His net worth now is 5.7 billion. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/charted-donald-trumps-net-worth-2014-2024/ Sure, he went bankrupt, but he came back. Which is even harder. If you're seriously trying to suggest that a man worth 5.7 billion is a terrible businessman I don't think youl'll have many takers. Even if he got 400 million from his fatgher, he multiplied this wealth many times over.

However, we should clarify that the 34 figure relates to 34 vouchers Trumps former lawyer received which all said "legal expense". In essence it is one crime, not 34.

Very interesting. I had seen the 1 million story but in light of this pbs link, it would indeed appear that Trump got considerably more from his father. He still multiplied it manifold, nontheless, but a good link.

No, it's not. Borscht predates nation states in Eastern Europe. Only the beetroot variety is recognised as Ukrainian. However Borscht itself long predates Ukraine as a nation-state, and various Borscht are claimed by Russians, Poles, Lithuanians and Ashkenazi Jews. Borscht is a slavic dish. The beetrot variety of Borscht can be seen as Ukrainian. However, other varieties are Russian, Polish, Lithuanian, Jewish etc.

Indeed, I think he inherited about a million USD from his father and multiplied it manifold. His economic achievements are well documented.

Yes, of course, you can go even more silly. But I mean, the president is the comannder in chief. Kamala has zero military qualifications. The president can propose legislation on economic matters like mortgages that affect hundreds of millions of people. Kamala has zero economic qualifications. The president can enter into treaties with foreign countries. Kamala has zero experience in interntational relations. If you were to convict some burglars, Kamala is a choice that makes sense. But for president, surely this woman is extremely poorly qualified?
