Sadly, when it comes to the M E I fear that things will get worse under Trump. It's the only point on which I disagree with Trump 100%.

The actual president is out to lunch, so someone has to do something about international affairs, or would you prefer nothing was done for 2 months?

You apparently didn't know that Biden was also a draft dodger, while pointing the finger at Trump. Not that they were alone in that.

It's up to the individual to be responsible for their own actions and research the laws in a place that is ruled by a different, not nanny state, system. I can't be sympathetic to those that behave like boors wherever they are, with no regard to local mores. In the UAE, one has to be careful, as what is permitted in one emirate may not be in the next one, and there is no indication of where the borders are. I don't know why the title references "the Dark Side". It's their country, their rules.

Oh boo hoo, LOSERS. If this is what we can expect the next four years, the Dems are just going to make themselves look stupid. Sooooo, they want Biden to change the system before he leaves the W H for ever. So silly, as if Biden can change it without congress Trump can just change it back when he takes over, and both houses of Congress are going to be controlled by the GOP if he needs Congressional approval. Perhaps it's because of that sort of dumb thought that they lost the presidency.

Trump, the WINNER. He's the MAN.

I am familiar with ICUs, but perhaps you can explain what you mean by that. I have no idea what is meant by "daisy chain" in a medical context, and just what "leaked"? If it was oxygen, that doesn't cause a fire. It only supports combustion.

You nailed it. I don't know how any American can wobble on about democracy and freedom etc when one remembers how the USA came to be. I agree that the west is "falling". The evidence is everywhere, especially when one considers such as the gender insanity and destruction of the environment. Not that the East is any better or the middle either, but at least they only have 2 genders.

That's a tough one. Frankly I don't know of a single country that I want to be born in now, as they are all pants IMO. Thailand is probably the best of a rotten lot, but even LOS is starting to go woke. In a decade or so it'll be as rotten as the rest.

I wasn't aware that Trump confides with a member of AN.

You seem obsessed about it. Perhaps you should call Biden and tell him of your concerns. However, I think Biden's people already know and are not interested in doing anything about it.

Why would he be joshing? Some of us don't care what the sheeple have as their next big thing. New things like that are multiplying like rodents and will be eliminated in short order by the next one. It's like the evil empire of microsoft, soon as one gets used to their latest ever more unusable iteration of an OS they have moved on to the next one. As for myself, I take pride in not knowing what bluesky is. I don't use twit thing or facethingy, and can't wait to not use bluesky as well. a decentralized platform gaining traction Any chance you can use plain English when lauding the next sheeple fad?

Hadn't seen the news for a couple days so had to look it up. Some may remember that I warned that using those missiles inside Russia would elicit just such a response. I guess I can say "I told you so" now. BTW, I'm sure I've read a few threads on the forum telling us that Russia was all out of missiles and drones and such. Oops- just wasn't true at all then. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-aerial-attack-december-13-2024-801d7ba2438ea021d8568502f803bb3e The strike was in retaliation for Wednesday’s Ukrainian attack using U.S.-supplied the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMs, on a Russian air base, it said.

True, but I didn't choose my side. I was born into it.

I don't recall LKY suppressing anyone. He made them all do national service together to make them see other races as no different to themselves- it worked. While I never saw a race riot I lived there during that time. I'm also a fan of LKY. He turned a British military base into a thriving country, and tolerated none of the BS that blights the west today. When a cop there said to stop, one did or got shot. No messing about. He did go a bit far with suppressing the "fun side of life" and the place got a bit too sterile. I loved hanging out in Bugis street till dawn, but it's apparently just shops and restaurants now.

I'm not a Yank, I don't know enough about Taiwan to comment, you have zero proof I'm a Putin fanboy, and I don't care who lives in the Donbass. I only want NATO to stop the proxy war that is killing so many conscripts for nothing. A Yankee doesn't need to lecture me about my history. You are Singaporean? I lived there many years. It's my favourite country on Earth, but too expensive for me to visit now.

Anything is possible. It just hasn't been invented yet.

US governments apparently like "murderous bastards", given their support of Saddam while he was their boy against Iran, and the dirty tricks to get Pinochet installed. A few more as well if I could be bothered to think about it more.

While I have no idea what on earth you are wobbling on about, I'll take it as a compliment that you have such a negative opinion of me. I wouldn't want someone like you to approve of my words.

Apparently that is what happened with Carter. The Iranians waited till his successor was installed to release the US embassy staff.

That wasn't what I meant. It's like when people say to someone "you're the MAN". Nothing to do with being POTUS.

I'm pretty sure that is the reason Biden is still POTUS. No one wants Harris as POTUS, IMO.

It's not mysterious at all, but they don't want to admit that they don't know the answer so make out it's a mystery. Long ago either aliens lived on Earth and left or died out, or the slaves rebelled and killed them all, OR there was a species of way more clever beings than humans that lived long ago, and died out for much the same reasons humans are going to. I like the first option and believe that humans today are the descendants of the slaves.

Are you sure about that? There are more than a few politicians I suspect of being aliens hiding out.

I used to work on an orthopedic ward, and many of the patients were old ladies. I don't remember a single male with that problem. It's a simple fix with a replacement ball and a spike that goes inside the femur after the broken part is cut off. Does involve a serious operation though, which may be difficult for the aged. I never lost a patient due to the operation, though one did almost die after a bad reaction to post op morphine.
