Much to agree with in that, but you and I do not know if Afghanistan and Iraq were failures, because we do not know what the real objectives were. The 1% did not get where they are by being social justice warriors, and a few hundred thousand deaths probably matter little to them. The only thing I'm sure of is that they will trample on any that get in their way to achieving their objectives. Something I like to remember when discussing the 1% are the sayings “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist”—Charles Baudelaire “The second greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he is the good guy”—Ken Ammi” https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8784723-the-greatest-trick-the-devil-ever-pulled-was-convincing-the

We've played the rich's game for too long. It's time to elect governments that will emasculate them. Will it happen, unlikely. IMO the western world is doomed by the 1%'s greed.

Shouldn't have trusted them. Now all Zelensky can do is rage impotently as Ukraine burns. I for one hope they don't be so foolish as to become directly involved- that's a straight path to MAD.

Russia has not yet moved forces from its main front to reinforce Kursk indicating that they are in no rush to eject the Ukrainians from Russian territory. Given there is no army hiding and waiting to follow up the invasion, seems to me that this was Zelensky's Battle of the Bulge, a last gasp before the inevitable end. Russia can leave them there till their supplies run out. In my and other's opinion, this was an attempt to divert good troops from the big prize in the east, but Russia didn't take the bait. Once Pokrovsk falls the end can't be far off.

Did someone get their knickers in a twist, LOL?

Money. Some of us know how the family fortune was made.

never mind

A life sentence in a Chinese jail would be better punishment. Meanwhile, back in the west, will someone please lock her up for as long as possible.

That plays both ways. If Ukraine ups the missile attacks inside Russia it will result in more Russian missile attacks and we know what the targets will likely be. If Russia gets punished too much IMO it is more likely that tactical nukes will be used and if that happens it's anyone's guess how it ends up. In case anyone missed it this is what escalation looks like. Round and round we go and where we end up nobody knows.

IMO in a capitalist society taxpayer money should never be used for private business. It distorts the economy and creates a skewed playing field. If the federal government has too much money they should either lower taxes or use the money for public good.

On that I agree 100%. Another thing to thank the media for, not.

I don't really care if he does or not. It'll be a movie we already saw and the world will get worse under her. Frankly the US deserves whichever of them win, for all the American wars we have suffered since 1963. Karma is coming. In case you don't get that, if Trump wins it'll be the Dems trying to stop him doing anything and stupid impeachments etc, and if she wins it'll be worse, IMO. Either way we are all screwed, IMO.

Good to see you agreeing with him.

I'll be cheering when he wins. How about you?

IMO climate change, trans and abortion are all successful deflections that the elites use to stop the sheeple from realising what is really going on. It's working really well, baaaaaah. If people stopped to really think, they'd realise that they are being screwed and it's not just by politicians of one party because they are all of the same coin, and are just carrying out their master's orders, IMO.

No Vietnam war, no Gulf war 1 and 2, no israel/ Arab wars, no wasteful overuse of resources, less pollution, no rise of China. Sounds pretty good to me.

I liked him because he said he wanted to stick it to Wall Street. Probably why he got back stabbed by the Dems. Can't have the POTUS attacking their masters.

IMO those two have been in charge of the US ever since 1963.

I supported Bernie both times. Pity what the Dems did to him.

When Trump wins, I will try and find your posts like this to remind you of what you said.

That's really easy to spin to why I support Trump. Yes, hard for a died in the wool Harris supporter such as yourself to even imagine the possibility of not being 100% behind your candidate or having any doubts. I can see that. I am pro Trump, because I despise Harris, for three dozen valid reasons, not ever worth stating. Why bother?

Do you blame them? They know the political cost of having too many aliens arriving in their countries.

Anyone that supported Biden and will vote for Harris are too dumb to grade IMO.

I agree which is why it should not be up to one person. I also believe that a war should not be declared unless the people that vote for have to enlist their military age children to serve in the front line.

When I was staying in Soi 4 I was never able to take my suitcase on the pavement and always had to drag it along the road.
