Is disparaging Trump your favourite obsession? You seem to spend a lot of time doing that. Trump's assessment of Biden is his own. Mine too. Horrid little man IMO. This thread is quite entertaining. Trump says something and it becomes full of certain posters posting about the same things they have been posting for the last 7 years. It'd be great if they came up with something new for a change.

It would also allow more people with student deferments an entry to the race. IMO ex military officers should be barred from politics as more likely to start wars. Introducing Flynn is a deflection. I'm sure there are plenty of similar situations on the Democrat side, but I'm not talking about them either.

Had you read the post directly below that one you would have seen that I already noted that it was a different poster that I was quoting.

No doubt you have some excellent, well thought out reasons for believing that Trump will cause the destruction of the country, and beyond. I'd love to read them. Going by the only example we have of him as POTUS, was one that was not destruction, and of course he didn't start any wars, so no destruction beyond then.

Still deflecting. My comment was about Biden and Biden alone. His act of stepping down was the act of someone who is not a Narcissist. I think he was told to step down, else he would not have. Who told him? I wasn't in the room to know.

When did I claim Biden was a narcissist? Quote me on that. I doubt he had empathy. You are the one making it up that I believe that Biden is a narcissist.

Flynn is a deflection. You seem to like deflecting.

Do you see Joe as someone devoid of empathy? He sure does fake it well in that case. I was responding to your claim that Biden has "empathy" I wasn't comparing him to Trump, but you know that. All that you brought in about Trump is deflection. So if you can remain on topic for one more post, could you kindly provide any evidence for your belief/opinion that Biden is such a good actor that he has managed to hide that he's a Narcissist from everyone around him unlike DJT? LOL. He managed to hide that he was mentally challenged from everyone for a very long time. In any event that is not what I was responding to and as such is a deflection. I was only responding to your claim about empathy. Do you see Joe as someone devoid of empathy? He sure does fake it well in that case.

IMO a general that takes sides in a political dispute is despicable for trying to use their position for politics. The military are supposed to stay out of politics.

Someone is telling us a load of lies about this situation. All those illegal migrants come from other countries, many up the Darien Gap. I've seen many tv documentaries saying that criminal gangs prey on them and steal their money. So, if they lost all their money on travel and bribes to get to the Mexican border, how can they afford to get from southern Mexico to the US border? If they walk all that way, they must need new shoes at least.

and the reason the gaps exist is because Biden stopped the wall being completed. Is that an inconvenient truth?

That is the problem. Too many think the US owes them an opportunity to get ahead even if they become criminals by illegally entering a foreign country. If they used the money they gave to criminal gangs to get to the border at home they might have been able to get ahead in life anyway.

IMO he was a faker. Obviously faked it well enough to fool a lot of people.

Perhaps not The worst, but IMO certainly equal worst.

IMO Carter wasn't the worst by far. He just got unlucky.

To the person that gave that a sad emoji, was it the comment about the US being consumed by madness, or that Thailand is a much better place that makes you sad?

I heard on the news that Pelosi has now endorsed Harris. Horrid people stick together, IMO.

Well said. Does anyone actually think that a contender for POTUS isn't in it to win ( unless the US has an equivalent of the British Monster Raving Loony Party )?

I think a lot of people are going to realise by November that an incompetent Biden was replaced by an IMO really horrible person, and still stay at home. I can't imagine that any Dem would have actually voted for Trump even if they didn't vote for Biden.

Just for that post I hope Trump wins.

Indeed. They are out of the madness that is consuming the US, so they should just enjoy their life in a much better place.

In case you missed it, Trump only cares about America. If you ain't living in the US I doubt he's going to care enough to help you.

If I'm wrong tell me, but IMO Russia is already in a defensive mode. No large scale attacks since Adviikva, unless I missed something. Seems to me that what is going on is just low scale attempts to provide a defensive perimeter. Unless the Russian command is completely bonkers they will be digging defensive positions to hold the wanted line. For Ukraine to win they have to push Russian troops back into Russia, but for Russia to win they only have to hold what they already have, a much easier task than an assault. BTW, don't need tanks for a defensive line.

That may be the case, and it's likely that contributors to a British military forum are likely to be invested in Ukraine, given they spent their military careers facing the Bear, but likes don't win wars. I suspect you know that. IMO, short of some extraordinary event, or some Euro politician going baba and sending troops, the end isn't going to be in Zelensky's favour. With the extra billions they managed to rustle up by financial shennanigans, Ukraine could probably hold on for a while, but once men prefer jail to the front ( much better chance of survival ) the Euros run out of old kit to give away, and if Trump wins, what other option is there than negotiations?

I think you missed the statement by netanyahu saying they will hunt down any Hamas even after a ceasefire. Would you release ( presumably ) the only reason israel hasn't gone Armageddon on Gaza, without an amnesty?
