  1. While it is unlikely a deliberate nuclear war will happen, mistakes happen. Mistakes like escalating a war with a nuclear power. Never underestimate the desire of the military leadership to start a war, or of their hope to use all the toys in their toybox. Speaking from experience, I have no faith in military leadership doing the right thing. Let's remember why the Chinese became involved in the Korean war.
  2. I stopped reading after that. Just as well it says OPINION at the top of the page.
  3. There are hundreds of trucks loaded with food held outside Gaza by the israelis. Famine is entirely due to israeli actions in preventing the food entering Gaza. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68550937
  4. LOL. Did he check with netanyahu before saying that? Unless netanyahu changed his mind since 24 hours ago he is not agreeing to stop fighting till Hamas is "defeated", which will likely never happen. Why would Hamas agree to ceasefire when the enemy is still attacking them?
  5. Perhaps Thailand could stop turning the place into a garbage dump and building concrete excrescences if they want to make the place worth going to. Some people actually want a nice beach to stay at, but most have been ruined long ago.
  6. If that's the case then they should be increasing the fares to reduce the number of environment destroyers going there. What is the point of getting more tourists if they make the place a <deleted> hole? It's probably too late for Samui and Tao, but Phanang might be OK for a while as long as they don't build an airport there.
  7. The last thing the islands need are more tourists. They should be restricting them not encouraging more. Samui used to be wonderful, but this century became a <deleted> hole. Seems greed reigns supreme.
  8. Seems that posters with TDS forget that Trump was well on the way to sorting the problem when Biden cancelled the agreements with Mexico.
  9. Perhaps he and Trump can be cell buddies then. Will they search Biden senior for files when he visits his criminal son?
  10. That's not a reason for satisfaction. The current British PM has apparently been a complete disaster.
  11. At the time she opened her mouth in contravention of the agreement Trump was not convicted.
  12. You mean taking the money didn't mean she had to keep quiet? Sooooo, she takes that money then talks anyway. She deserves whatever she gets for being a dishonourable <deleted>.
  13. It's likely to come at the meeting Zelensky is promoting now.
  14. Ukraine needs its instructors to be taught by NATO trainers to condense the standard two-month basic training into one month. Good grief, I didn't realise that it was that bad- I feel for the poor conscripts. When I did my basic training it was 3 months and that was just all arms, After that the infantry had more training before being posted to Vietnam.
  15. If one can it's a no brainer. Far less faffing around, no home visits, same day approval for extensions etc. Also if one gets divorced one doesn't have all the obvious problems with an extension based on being married.
  16. I just read your link and it makes for very interesting reading. I don't know why Biden would be so consumed with hatred for Iran that he would make a deal with the devil, even committing American lives to protect Saudi ( IMO they know that despite having all the toys the US can provide, sans nuclear, Saudi would be a pushover for Iran- they did not cover themselves with glory during the Gulf war ). I suppose that the Great Game is being played out further afield now, but it's not looking good for the US having to support Saudi. Ask anyone that worked in Saudi if they support the royal family, LOL.
  17. It's been made pretty clear that despite israel being entirely reliant on the US for it's very existence, israeli leaders are going to ignore Biden, despite him desperately needing a ceasefire for domestic political reasons. I guess that is because they know that whoever wins they will still cover for israel in the UN. I wonder if Biden feels so humiliated that he will actually do something to punish netanyahu? During a speech at the White House, Biden said Hamas had been degraded to a point where it could no longer carry out the type of attack seen on October 7 that launched the current war in Gaza. What Biden omits to mention, perhaps because he does not understand human psychology, is that without an end to the israeli oppression of Palestinians, the situation is only temporary. Some years in the future situations similar to October 7 will arise, and again and again. Does he not understand the rage that will engulf the Gazans once the bombing stops? Revenge will become their watchword.
  18. Can't be bothered reading you tripe anymore. Bye.
  19. No one is keeping you in Pattaya. Pattaya is not typical of the rest of Thailand. That's like living in London for 10 years and then thinking all of Britain is a <deleted><deleted>.
  20. If the tapes were favourable to Biden would he try to cover them up? Obviously not, so we must assume that they portray him in a negative light.
  21. Biden has such brazen cheek to finally do something he could have done 3 years ago and claim it is his idea. If ever a politician deserves to lose it is Biden for this piece of desperation.
  22. It would be appropriate for America to sort China, given it was Nixon, a US president, that unleashed the monster into the world.
  23. WOW, that really nailed it! The greatest success of the Von Der Leydens of the western world has been to fool most of the people that "democracy" actually exists, when IMO it's blindingly obvious that it doesn't.
