So "Kamala", is Netanyahu a reliable ally of the US? "Well, first of all, I think that's the wrong question. It should be "is Run the World Girls" by Beyonce better than "Shake it Off" by Taylor Swift". As my mother told me when I was raised in a coconut tree as a proud Aboriginal woman, never ask the wrong question!" Thank you for your elquent answer Kamala.

I agree with your proposed course of action in terms of pursuing legal action. However, I do not think he will play ball. If he has no money he has no money, and whether you give him 6 or 12 months it is unlikely he will pay. The only real option is to pursue an eviction and get him off the land. If you play nice with him, give him a long time to pay, this will be construed as weakness and he will drag things out and still not pay or leave. Only if a robust legal document is presented would he change his mind to do something. This is my belief.

I like how you apologise to the beauticians of the world, they are very easily offended. Good job, That piece by Renaud is not worthy of any critique. To say China owns Russia is obviously the product of a sick fantasist mind. The second article, even the title is already a failure. Russia can't afford to lose and can't afford to win? What??? Because Russia can't rebuild the infrastructure? Has this part time non-tenured Lancaster lecturer ever set foot in Russia? They've built structures only matched by New York, if there's one thing the Russians can do is build giant infrastructure. If he had ever been to Russia he would know that the last concern Russia has is a crumbling infrastructure. It's ludicrous. Russia is fighting for its very survival as an independent nation. As a unique and proud culture, unbeholden to the US, like the slaves in Europe. We should all support Russia in this glorious aim. If there's no money to build a bridge this year, do you think they care? They'll build it in 2 or 3 years. It's a non-issue. Besides, the very notion that Russia could lose this war is laughable. There is absolutely no conceivable possibility that Russia could lose this war with things as they stand. Russia is winning. And Russia will win this war.

Didn't Dr No want to create a hot war between the US and Russia? So actually Kamala Harris is the real Dr No. Since she has already promised to pour more gasoline on the fire in Ukraine, thereby increasing all our chances to witness a nuclear war first hand. Low IQ genes are a thing, have you not read Charles Murray's Bell Curve? But I ask too much, go listen to Boom Clap some more. I know you love it.

Yes it is. It impugns my honour and suggests I would steal from a store where I just left money to contribute to their profit. They just stole from ME and they check my receipt? It's outrageous.

Undocumented immigrants only contribute 10% to the total output of those industries. That won't be impossible to survive for most. "Those include agriculture, leisure and hospitality and construction, where undocumented workers contribute roughly 10% of those industries’ total output, according to Queens College labor economist Francesc Ortega, who has published numerous papers on the economics of immigration.! " these workers could be replaced by the more than seven million working-age men who are legally in the country but not in the labor force." Inreased mechanization will be another way companies will deal with it. https://immigrantfood.com/mass-deportation-would-hit-these-industries-the-hardest/

Which ones are of particular concern to you?

Not at all. The real reasons for Russia's steallar economic performance currently is Putin's genius fiscal policy. He saved yesterday to spend today, when he needs it. Yes a small part is spent on the military, but the overwhelming majority of the spending goes to other areas. Infrastructure is one. Then they are attracting investment from India and China. Like I said, many factors, most not related to military spending.

Well, this is disappointing on so many levels. I thought you had read the Economist article, but there are none so blind as those who refuse to see. The facts are there. if you want to rather believe bull<deleted> articles written by beautician with no knowledge of reality, up to you. China now owns Russia, lol, people write some nonsense on here.

As of 2023, the military expenditure share of Saudi Arabia's GDP was about 7.09 percent. So would you say military spending drives the Saudi economy, that Saudia Arabia is a war economy? Algeria's military spending is 8.2 percent of GDP. Is Algeria's economy drivien by military spending? Is Algeria a war economy? 10% of GDP is minimally above levels other nations spend in peace time. It is most definitely not the reason why Russia's economyis blooming. The reasons for this are explained in the Economist article. Since you can read it, don't forget to read those parts. I've kindly pasted them above.

No, it's not the main reason. There are a whole raft of more important reason. It's a contributing factor of small magnitude. Your quote does not prove your claim in the slightest. Re-read the above exercept from the Economist and you will easily understand the real reason for the stellar economic performance in Russia. Putin saved in years of austerity and then spent big, also on infrastructure.

If Trump can get that done it will change the world. Other countries will copy it. But I fear there will be a ton of opposition in the US to get it done.

The things they will resort to. Peeing on someone during sex. Who would do such a thing?

Keep dreaming. If that tape existed it would long have been produced. Just another desperate attempt to slander Trump.

Way to spread misinformation and fake news. What a great idea to send tests to another important world leader. That will come in handy when Trump negotiates to end the Ukraine war.

I am so happy to see I'm not the only one who feels that way. I actually sometimes mess with them and tell them I don't have it. It's so annoying. They do that in the States as well.

Which is 100% wrong. Read the Economist article, it explains why Russia's economy is booming. It's not military spending. "To understand the accelerating economy, look to two aspects of macroeconomic policy. The first is fiscal policy. Mr Putin has abandoned austerity as he doubles down on war. He is sensitive to domestic opinion and recognises that he needs to buy public support for his invasion of Ukraine. This year Russia will run a budget deficit of 2% of GDP—hefty by its standards—which it is funding in large part by drawing on enormous financial reserves, accumulated during the 2010s. In effect, Russia saved yesterday in order to party today. Total government outlays rose by an average of 15% in both 2022 and 2023, and a slightly smaller rise is budgeted this year. Ministers are devoting much of this extra spending to the war in Ukraine. Data published by the Bank of Finland suggest that military spending will rise by about 60% this year, boosting production of weapons and ammunition, and also putting money in people’s pockets. Patriots or mercenaries? In July Mr Putin doubled the federal bonus for those signing up to fight from 195,000 roubles ($2,200) to 400,000 roubles, which regional authorities are supposed to top up. The government is committing vast sums to compensation for the families of those killed in action. And Russia’s splurge goes beyond war-related spending. Mr Putin is lavishing money on welfare payments: in June he raised pensions for some recipients by close to 10%. The government is also spending big on infrastructure, including a highway from Kazan to Yekaterinburg, two cities 450 miles (730km) apart. Indeed, it is spending on pretty much whatever takes its fancy. Mikhail Mishustin, Russia’s prime minister, recently boasted about a government scheme to pay for children to holiday in Crimea. The second reason for Russia’s party economy relates to its unusual monetary policy. In order to deal with high inflation the central bank has raised interest rates from 7.5% to 18%. More increases may be on their way. This has the effect of strengthening the rouble by attracting foreign investment from “friendly” countries such as China and India, which in turn cuts the price of imports and thus inflation. It also encourages people to save, trimming consumer spending. In a normal economy higher rates would hurt indebted households and companies, as their cost of repaying debt rose. Yet the government has almost entirely shielded the real economy from tighter monetary policy. There is a bewildering array of schemes. Earlier this year the government made it much easier for consumers to suspend repayments on loans, so long as they could prove that their income had fallen or they were “affected by an emergency”. Banks have offered loan holidays to soldiers in Ukraine. A mortgage scheme, recently closed, kept lending rates fixed at 8%, less than half the current policy rate. An “industrial mortgage” programme has channelled lending to companies at rates as low as 3% a year. Banks’ arms are also twisted so that they do not raise rates too far. When the financial sector loses income as a consequence, the state often steps in to make up the difference." https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2024/08/11/vladimir-putin-spends-big-and-sends-russias-economy-soaring As much as you would like it to me a simple monocausal reason "military spending", it's not, it's a number of non-military factors.

The mainstream media will paint him as Satan when it happens.

Mostly non military expenditure, as I was saying, Russia is a civilian economy, not a war economy where 100% of spending is on the miltary. That's just not the case. There has been a rise very recently, because Russia is preparing to finish off Ukraine next year.

Don't worry I have something for free for you. The latest figures show the latest budget has Russia spending 32% of its budget on defence spending. The rest is non-military. So 30/70. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/30/russia-to-hike-defence-spending-by-a-quarter-in-2025

It's in the Economist article

So an opinion piece from a nobody that offers ZERO evidence that Trump thinks he's losing. Thanks for wasting my time.

Not only that Kamala Harris is a reptile alien pretending to be a human.

It's not, it's about 30% military spending 70% non-military spending. There was none because of severe austerity in preparation for war.
