Who's with the horse manure then? Take it up with Wikipedia if you think they are wrong. So easy to find the reports that he entered illegally to the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_of_Kilmar_Abrego_Garcia Abrego Garcia illegally immigrated to the U.S. in 2011 at the age of 16.

If the GOP ever begins to think Trump is going to lose the next election, IMO they'll stab him in the back in the middle of the night and have some muppet ( Vance ) installed by day break.

IMO all politicians sell out. He's just behaving like a normal politician. I don't think he's worse than any other politician, and he doesn't like Wall Street, which is why I liked him in the first place.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. IMO the present world order is built by and for the benefit of the rich. IMO it's unsustainable, because it depends entirely on exporting jobs to the most exploitable nations, and it needs ever increasing growth, like one of those pyramid scams, to keep the money coming in. Neither is indefinitely sustainable, and it was going to fall down eventually. Whether it was going to happen now or later is irrelevant. I doubt Trump is the cause of the collapse, though he may have hastened it by a few years My generation had the best of it, but once the world population exceeded 5 billion, IMO it was heading inexorably to doom. You just can't have half the planet's population attempting to move to the rich countries and that system survive. and that's not even mentioning the destruction of the environment, which may result in water wars and widespread famine. What happens when the water from the Himalayas dries up, leaving over 1 billion people without water?

I care about China because they buy a large part of our exports and my entire way of life depends on them doing so.

On that I agree. Hurrah for the US nuclear arsenal.

It does for the guys that didn't have to die.

I'd say Putin is desperate to end the war before he has to call up the Moscow Russians, hence the terror attacks. I'm sure he figures that Zelensky can hang on to the last Ukrainian given the endless supplies from Euroland, so trying a bit of the Hamburg/ Dresden/ Tokyo solution. Unfortunately for Putin ( or more appropriately all those about to die ), they didn't end the war.

If that is a Tesla car sales yard, I'd vote for that penguin as it obviously is on the side of righteousness. Hopefully it's first executive order would be to send Musk on his own rocket to Mars. I say "it" because I'd need to see if it's back has claw marks to know it's gender.

Bernie Sanders. He deserves it, having had his chances destroyed by the Dems twice.

Well, if it upsets you, diabetes is not a sign of impending death. It's one of the most easily controlled diseases humans can have. Given proper treatment people can live a perfectly normal life span. Enjoy the next 3 1/2 years.

Anyone who thinks the guy is fit for office or can’t at least have a quiet snigger at the OP needs their head read. How about when Biden was in charge? Do all the posters that thought he was A OK need their heads read? The anti Trumpers that complain about him seem to forget that the US till January was apparently run by a guy without a functioning brain. All that happened was that one unpleasant individual was replaced by another unpleasant individual, and the US has been run by a succession of unpleasant or incompetent presidents since Kennedy was assassinated- Nixon, Bush the younger, Obama ring any bells for you?

One wonders at how morons managed to be running the US for so long? If the magnets were so vital, surely even a stupid person could understand that not making them is not a good idea? As for cars, most of the cars I drove in my lifetime had zero rare earth in them. If it means Musk can't make overpriced toy cars for rich luvvies any more, I could not care less. If girls can't go into space with great hair and makeup, so be it- no loss. No drones- great. I despise warmongers, and the less ability they have to wage remote war the better. Missiles, I doubt the missiles in the 1950s had rare earth in them, and they were able to destroy life on the planet. However, if I cared, I'd go buy shares in a company that makes magnets.

Hmmmmm. Seems that despite not being able to make ball bearings and having to use washing machine parts, Russia seems to have no problem sending missiles and drones to attack Ukraine. Perhaps the inferior ball bearings in the gyroscopes can explain why the missiles seem to be hitting civilian structures instead of military targets.

A/ go look at a map of Russia. B/ did you notice it is quite large, and there are not enough nukes on the planet to destroy it all? C/ do you think that Russia keeps all it's nukes in Moscow? If Ukraine nuked Moscow Ukraine would have all it's cities destroyed shortly thereafter. Carry on living in your bubble though. It must be nice in there.

Perhaps the Ukrainian trolls had had it to themselves too long.

It always was just for naughty people from countries the US didn't like. When it started muttering about people the US support it was doomed. IMO.

Sure sure, Ukraine is going to win, for sure, just needs the Euros to keep spending lots more money to send the Ukrainians more bombs and bullets. How many more Ukrainians need to die so Zelensky can pretend to be a great leader? Despicable.

The war will end when Zelensky accepts the inevitable. All the future deaths are on him. As Trump says, it's a war that should never have happened.

The guy is an illegal immigrant. He should be deported just for that. If he was an illegal in Thailand he would also be deported once caught, no excuses allowed. Good for Trump finally going after them.

Do you actually understand that the US is enabling the slaughter and preventing the rest of the world from doing anything about it? What has that got to do with wanting the US to police the world? They don't have to actually DO anything- just not use the veto. Is that too hard to understand?

Not in Pattaya.

What with? NZ doesn't have much of a military. I think most got PO at the poor pay and left a while ago. Only seems able to send a few to UN "observer" posts that do nothing to stop conflicts. The navy sank off Samoa a while back when it steered into a reef. NZ doesn't have a single combat aircraft. Perhaps they could send a Hercules to drop pamphlets on the Israelis asking them to play nicely. Bit sad really, when one considers the quite renowned reputation it had post WW2. Where did you get the fanciful idea that I think America should police the world, given the number of posts I have made saying the opposite? Perhaps you'd had had a long shag, and couldn't read properly at the time.

True, but the UN will do nothing about it. The UN IMO is being exposed for being irrelevant in the real world. As long as the ( non ) security council has a veto, the US will ignore the revulsion of almost the entire world and enable the slaughter to continue. A despicable event is unfolding in front of us and not a thing is being done to stop it. Western country "leaders" should be ashamed of their craven acquiescence in this tragedy that is happening in full view.

I agree with that part. If that happens, given that NZ doesn't make much any more ( all imported from China ), and we can't even refine our own oil, I guess screwed would be putting it mildly. In that event I'll join the mass exodus to Australia.
