Did you even watch the linked program? Russia is still selling gas to Europe but it costs them more. Germany going into recession and companies closing is the "price". I guess it doesn't affect YOU then, to be so blase. The US, which is the driver of this proxy war is doing great out of it, selling lots of weapons and munitions, and now getting to sell gas to Europe. Ukrainians not doing well at all, and now Europeans suffering high prices for gas. Of course the leaders are not suffering at all, until the next elections.

It's all about greed now, IMO. I'm glad I grew up when it was about the music.

I didn't know that he was still around. I loved his music in the 70s and early 80s. Still play his songs, but scary to think that I first heard him so very long ago.

More successful as a singer than you though.

I assume that that magazine doesn't exist any more then.

Agree the entire human race has gone mad and is doing it's best to become an ex species, but it's too much work to comment on everything, so I'm restricting it to the west.

I have that poster on ignore, so didn't see his post either.

Hope is always good.

I hadn't seen your post when I said basically the same thing. Wasn't trying to copy you.

I never thought I'd see "good taste" in the same sentence as "Trump". First time for everything I guess. Expensive, yes. If he was Joe Average the chances of him marrying Melania would be less than mine of being on the first expedition to Mars.

Nah. Size is all that matters. Women will always tell their microscopically sized partner that size doesn't matter but they are lying so they don't lose the ATM. Watch a few VDOs of Blacked, and you will understand why white guys get ridiculed behind our backs.

Do you understand what "seems" means? Yawn.

Which right wing people would that be, considering you don't know any of their politics?

But few people care about your opinion anyway.

Kennedy is regarded as a great president, but he was a womaniser. Given you are posting on a forum populated by many that live in Thailand and do a lot of p***** grabbing, if that is a problem should you even be on here at all? the extent of Trump's immoral behaviour does NOT come under the "normal politician" umbrella What is it about posters on your side of the fence that you keep wobbling on about Trump not being a "normal" politician, and ignoring that he got elected BECAUSE he isn't a normal politician? Do you even understand the dynamics of what has been happening since 2016?

Obviously your definition of "statesman" differs from mine. IMO there have been no statesmen since Kennedy died. He was the last of the breed.

Added 2 + 2 and got 22. Apparently you don't understand that it's a question of national character. NZ used to have thousands of law abiding gun owners and gun events were a rarity. The last government attempted to remove guns from law abiding citizens and now there are more firearm incidents from criminals than ever before. Guns are not the problem unless in the hands of criminals, and they have zero problems getting them.

I could not have put it better myself. I especially like the last sentence, though why stop at the federals?

Blame the ones that put an IMO gibbering idiot in as the alternative to Trump. The electorate obviously considered a "convicted criminal, a convicted sex offender and a serial liar" a better choice. I hope you get to enjoy the next 4 years as much as I will, though I suspect you won't.

It's easier to cover up his mental problem if he's on vacation.

I understand they are actually Afghans that went to Pakistan when the Russians occupied the country and were indoctrinated there. As for the OP, entirely expected given the taliban being what they are, and it's going to get worse for Afghan women IMO. No western country is going to invade again to support them, and the last time showed how wrong the west was to even try. A waste of lives and treasure for nothing. They just gave the women of Afghanistan false hope.

Seems you just hit the nail on the head. Follow the money and it's always about greed.

Is this the new description of "presenting the truth"?

While I hesitate to use "educated" in relation to what passes for schooling in the west, I agree with the jist of your post. This is what happens when men are driven away from becoming teachers and women get to brainwash indoctrinate gullible children. IMO.

Given I do not support Trump's opinions of the M E at all, I expect to be severely disappointed by what he does there. He made it worse last time by moving the embassy and I assume it'll just get worse for Palestinians once he becomes POTUS. The only glimmer of hope is that Saudi does not this time go along with his plans, and I doubt any Arab country will be supporting him.
