TroubleandGrumpy

Good God - you are incapable of being educated - no more wasting my time.

Just so you know. Take a look at the NATO boundary in 2000 and again as of 2022 when Putin invaded Ukraine. This is NATO in 1990. The Warsaw Pact members (pink) all joined NATO. This was NATO in 2022 The main reason (not the only one) Putin invaded Ukraine was that NATO had constantly ignored their 'agreement' with Russia not to expand to the East. As per this article written by a left wing news media outlet (The Guardian) one month before Russia invaded Ukraine, the constant expansion of NATO after the USSR was abolished, was a huge problem with Russia. Russia’s belief in Nato ‘betrayal’ – and why it matters today | Russia | The Guardian The 'final straw' was when Ukraine and NATO started formal negotiations for Ukraine joining NATO in January 2022 - meaning that NATO would have the ability to place nuclear and other weapons right on the Russian border. The USA and USSR nearly went to war when USSR tried to place nuclear missiles in Cuba many decades ago - same same. The hawkish military powers in USA funded and pushed NATO to expand - Russia (Putin) warned NATO and USA for many years to keep Ukraine as a 'buffer' between Russia and NATO. NATO/USA thought he was bluffing - Putin was not. And if Zelensky sends a ballistic missile into Moscow, the world will be at WW3 because Putin has said he will respond and nuclear weapons are on the table - the nuclear weapons off Russia have been on 'ready alert' since 2022. If you are silly enough to think that WW3 will be USA/NATO versus Russia - think again - China is a very close and strong ally of Russia - and so are many of the Arab States. Want to stop WW3? Elect Trump !! The Democrats are locked and loaded with Ukraine and are prepared to start WW3 with their stupidity. You think Harris is going to sort this out - or Israel? Trump is the only rational and logical choice as POTUS. Save the planet - ignore Greta - and vote for Trump !!!

You did go to school right? And you can read, right?? I said "he has 'ensured' his continued stay via electoral changes advantageous to himself" Try again buddy - you seem to not be able to read and understand words - I bet you dont listen either. Let me try to 'educate' you - something clearly lacking in your past. I said "he has 'ensured' his continued stay via electoral changes advantageous to himself" (gerrymandering) You COULD have said - 'Yes he did that AND he also had opponents/critics killed by all accounts." I WOULD then have said - "Seems very likely, but that is why he gerrymandered the elections because of the growing discontent about his actions. You COULD have then said - "He is only popular again now because he invaded Ukraine". I WOULD then have said - "Touche". Understand?? That is a logical and rational discussion and exchanges of ideas. This is NOT. Me - Trump delivered a strong economy and tried to secure the border and would have stopped Putin dead in his tracks. You - Trump is an evil orange hitler who should be in jail !!!

ROFLOL - the People of USA will decide who is POTUS - not you or me. Delusions of grandeur maybe - or are you saying Putin would be better than Trump?? You did say ANYONE - so how about Ali Hosseini Khamenei (Iran Dictator)??

OK that is enough of a first step (sort of). Now read my posts slowly and maybe you will see/hear what I actually said. Take your emotions out of it - give it a try. I am not asking you to agree - but I do want you to listen/read to the point I made and respond rationally and logically. No 'Trump is Bad' or 'Putin is Evil' emotional baggage please.

Your thinking is the one that is biased and not open to 'new facts' sunshine. Read my post/s and then read yours above - exactly when did I say Putin was now a great popular leader. Never did - you assumed that because your cognitive bias fired up those 'feelings' and you reacted emotionally. Try again and lets have a rational debate - or is that not possible with you?

More personal insults and abuse from the woke liberals - like teenagers telling chicken butt jokes. Ever wonder why your lot are so immature and have no logical reasoning (like a teenager)? It is because you have not yet 'grown up' and realised that woke liberalism is all BS.

And to think you wrote down all that in a post and believe it - unbelievable. So much personal insults and ignorance all in one post - outstanding commitment to the cause.

The grammar/spelling police have arrived !! Why are they always woke liberals??

You think whatever the MSM and Dems tell you - deluded so much you cannot see a point. It was 24 years ago when Putin was elected and he was very popular - he did not 'take over' like Hitler.

I am not a supporter of either Putin or Zelensky - BUT:- Putin’s First Election, March 2000 | National Security Archive (gwu.edu) Vladimir Putin’s first election as president of Russia 24 years ago was “reasonably free and fair,” according to a declassified U.S. Embassy message from Moscow, one of ten documents on Russia’s 2000 presidential race published today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University. Putin drew nearly 53% of the vote in March 2000 against 29% for the second-place Communist candidate, thus winning without a runoff. The same Communist had amassed 40% in the 1996 presidential elections against Boris Yeltsin, who had appointed Putin prime minister in August 1999 and then acting president on New Year’s Eve 1999. The Embassy analysis concluded that Putin was genuinely popular, with “spectacular” increases in approval ratings in the fall of 1999, primarily because of his tough, militarized response to Chechen terrorists who had invaded neighboring Dagestan and allegedly bombed apartment buildings in Moscow and elsewhere. Your delusional views of Putin's start as Leader of Russia are from the US/Western propaganda against Russia. I am not saying that he is a 'good guy' - but your claim he 'took power' like Hitler did, is a sad reflection of the ignorance of people like yourself about the truth. Putin was elected because the years after the dissolution of the USSR had resulted in massive economic and social problems in Russia. That he has 'ensured' his continued stay via electoral changes advantageous to himself, is without doubt true - I think they call it 'gerrymandering' in USA.

Democrats are experts at turning what they say into the truth - but only the fools believe after all these years. If the weaponisation of the Law and Courts against Trump is not Autocracy, I dont know what is. If Biden imposing a new ACT that tries to force all subsequent POTUS' not to change the course he has taken is not Autocracy, then I dont know what is. And on and on and on it goes - accuse your opponents of doing what you are doing. Atypical woke lefty political tactic. "Saul Alinsky 101: Accuse your opponent of what only you are doing, as you are doing it, to create confusion, cloud the issue, and inoculate voters against any evidence of your guilt." 9/30/24 Korean News and Commentary (constantcontact.com)

The duplicity is astounding - where were you 'educated' - are you a Gen Z - that would explain the ignorance. With no substance at all, you claim Trump is a Hitler, but when Zelensky does exactly the same as Hitler did - impose martial law as a first step to total control - you dont see anything. There are none so blind.

You are beyond help mate - the symptoms are very clear - cognitive bias - you believe all the Dem narrative. Plus of course being so woke your attacks and personal insults are more and more extreme, the more I try to break through your cognitive bias - much like a teenager being told something they refuse to listen to when they are losing. Go to your room.

That again 😂 Unbelievable !!!

Newspapers will be shut down - ROFLOL - clam down, you are going to have a stroke. But that is how you guys will play it for sure. Defeat is not what you will accept - just look at what happened after Clinton lost. This time around Trump will not hold back for fear of those political tactics that the Dems will play - just like in your BS above. Trump will follow Harris' lead and 'follow the law' - rioting is illegal and unless stopped quickly by the locals - which we all know the Dems will not do in their States - Trump will enforce the Laws.

That rule was made on December 2023 - under the President of Joe Biden - I wonder why??? No mate - it is you who are ignorant as per your own words. Trump will EO to remove the basis of that Act - and it will go to SCOTUS. Forcing a following President to follow your political desires with regards to Defence Policies is unconstitutional. The GOP will support the POTUS and overturn that Act section that removes that nonsense condition. Obviously you think like the Dem Party that it is OK to subvert the Constitution to enable your own political views. Obviously you also agreed to weaponise the DOJ, FBI and the Courts to attack/defame a political opponent. Trump is going to tear it down - the corrupted rein of your Democrat Party is going to be destroyed. Get yourself ready - and if your lot storm the streets again - The National Guard will be employed this time. If Antifa raises its ugly illegal head again, they will be arrested and given a military trial. I am certain you lot will claim 'human rights and Trump is a nazi' - but he and we dont care anymore. Does your ignorance extend to the fact that Zelensky has enacted a state of martial law over the whole of Ukraine and abolished the elections?? He is permanently in charge while the war continues with Russia. Are you ignorant of the fact that this was how Hitler took his first step when taking over Germany??

Yes indeed - many things will happen between 5 November and 20 January - The Trump Effect. The EU will be scrambling to save their relevance and existence within the USA economic and political 'umbrella', and NATO will be also desperately trying to save their own backsides. A major issue of whether they will succeed and not have Trump pull out, will be their moves to end the Ukraine war, that no one wants to continue (aside from Zelensky and his cohorts). Zelensky aligned himself with the Democrats and all their supporters (especially media and celebrities) - he will now have to 'pay the piper' and he will be driven out of town and off the world stage. And this time around, anyone that uses that 442 days to undermine the Trump's Presidency before he even gets into Office, will be investigated, charged and tried. Trump and his Team have already spread the word to informers - if you see/hear of anyone doing anything to damage Trump's Presidency, keep the evidence and give it to us when we arrive. This time around Trump is prepared and has an Administration already in place - and part of that Team will be those tasked with cleaning out all the 'redbacks' and taking action against anyone that undermined the Trump Presidency. Last time, Trump was unprepared on this and many other issues, but now he knows what to do and who to trust - the last 4 years were not wasted.

You will not get an answer - because Kamal never provided any answers. She "responded" to the questions, but she never answered them. Harris will go down in history for something she said - just like Trump will always be remembered for the term 'Fake News'. Harris will be remembered for the words "I was born in a middle class family" 'I Was Born Into A Middle Class Family,' Explains Wife When Husband Asks Why The Car Is On Fire | Babylon Bee "I was born into a middle class family," his wife, Beth, began. "Where I come from, car fires are the very least of concerns. What is far more important is putting food on the table, keeping the lights on, and knowing your family has a safe home. It is these things that people across this country are focused on, not a vehicle engulfed in flames in the driveway."

Exactly. And the reason is mental impairment through cognitive bias. They WANT to believe it - so they do. Just like when Trump was accused of saying white nationalist Nazis were good people in Charlottesville - a total lie that to this day some delusional woke liberals still think is true - because they want it to be true.

Truly delusional and again proves that most lefties do not understand reality, and are not able to accept the truth with your cognitive bias. Was that distortion/lie about Trump a CNN headline?? MSNBC ? ABC? NPR? The Guardian? Al Jazeera? etc etc etc.

If she had enough intelligence, that would have been a good idea. But you cannot make an unintelligent person remember things, even if you repeat the answers to them over and over and over. That is why during her first interview/debate, she would say 'now regarding that one.......' 'That One' being the issue/question she was briefed on and given the answers for. Since then she has been under orders - 'dont try answer any questions (you idiot) - say these things only - ignore the questions'. The classic 'tell' of someone that is 'scripted' is when the script goes different or wrong - like when her teleprompter stopped and she had no idea what to say next - indeed she had no idea what she had just said. Another classic is when she 'adjusted' her earpiece, because she was not used to it being in there, and she was not used to getting answers given to her (unlike Clinton). Like him or not, Trump is very unscripted - he wings it. That can get him into trouble sometimes for sure, but when it comes down to a person who is going to be the POTUS, it should be a fundamental basic that the person can deal with things 'directly' and 'immediately' at hand - and not be a slave to those giving them the answers to previously determined questions. The choice the People are usually given is either a Diplomat who can give give speeches and say the words given to them with aplomb and occasionally go off script as/when needed (Obama), or a Politician who prefers to deal with things on the fly and does not rely on a script/message (Trump). Harris is neither of those - she is a vacuous ignorant 'news/topic reader' that says what she is told to say, and when things go off script she 'flounders' like a fish out of water (which is what she is now). Anyone saying anything else is just a loyal Democrat that would and will, support any candidate the Party machine puts forward - because the issue is not the person, it is the 'message' and the 'narrative' - and anyone who challenges that message/narrative is an 'evil dictator/nazi' and a 'threat to democracy'.

Thailand has been putting nails in it's own coffin since 2014 when the Junta re-aligned with China, implemented all the BS regulations about 'foreigners', and manipulated the Baht to make it a lot higher. They did that for buying military equipment and infrastructure projects (mainly from China and all with the usual kickbacks). The Baht has a long long way to go back down to anything near 'normal' when measured over any extended period. The Baht is massively over-valued when compared to the year the Junta took over - and the 14 years before that to the year 2000.

Exactly - unworkable. Or will TRD pay for the flights and 4/5 star accommodation?? Well OK then. Samui has a TRD Office. 2 weeks should do it.

You remind me of a famous (in Aust) line from a great Aussie movie (The Castle) - 'Tell Him He's Dreaming".
