Along with most of the life on the planet within the time it takes for the radiation to travel around the planet. They tell me nuclear winter isn't much fun either. Hopefully the next dominant species is a better guest on Planet earth that we were.

Thank you.

They are nice people, which is why they recognise Palestine.

Perhaps you can quote the Koran where it documents the destiny of infidels?

In a free society everyone has a choice of what they do, even if others think it's stupid. If we don't it's not a free society. You can't have it both ways.

NATO needs an enemy or they have no reason to exist. Of course they didn't let Russia join the club.

Oh dear I wrote a long reply to that but it just vanished, and I ain't writing it again. The jist was that we are not as free in the west as some think we are. Ask Julian Assange if he thinks he can publish whatever he likes in our "free" society.

Yeah, we get that you hate Trump. You don't need to keep repeating the same thing over and over- gets boring and I don't want to put you on ignore as your non Trump posts are worth reading.

Apparently he doesn't know Ireland's history very well, or chooses to ignore it.

IMO not a threat, but inevitable. To any that have eyes and a will to look beyond the facade, western civilization is rotten to the core, obsessed with greed, materialism, and false idols. When the idea that there are more genders than 2, or that driving an EV will "save the planet", the end is IMO near. They are symptoms of a greater malaise that grips the western world, and that malaise is going to see it follow the Greeks, the Romans and all the other once powerful empires into the bin of history. We may not watch people being ripped apart by lions for entertainment anymore, but we are nations of bread and circuses, just like the Romans at the end of their long decline from power. There is nothing unusual about it- it's not as though we are the first civilization to fade away, and the progress from power to inconsequence is well known. Ozymandias By Percy Bysshe Shelley I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Oh how embarrassing that must have been. I'm luvin' it when the warmongers are made to look like fools.

Interesting that Starmer is so arrogant that he didn't wait to be elected before giving the finger salute to the voters.

Are you claiming that their nukes don't work?

Was his speech part of a movie? Otherwise, what has it to do with his acting career? I don't see any difference between that and other actors like De Niro that spout garbage, because they think people care about them outside their movies- poor deluded numpties ( IMO ).

Not a chance, unless it's the peace of death, IMO.

What is NS? Google is of no assistance. Please remember that we do not all understand your code abbreviations.

That is the 8 billion question. I can think of some important things to destroy humanity over, but Ukraine is not one of them. IMO, the next intelligent species to inhabit the Earth will excavate the radioactive remains of our civilization and wonder at how insane we were as a species.

Rubbish. Of course there are options. Threats are only threats till the ICBMs fly, and if the west stops escalating, it's unlikely the ICBMs will fly.

Do try and get it right. He is threatening that if NATO gets directly involved it's MAD. If he was just wanting to stop the west supporting Ukraine he's about 2 years too late for that.

In which case you were required to post a link to support it, hmmmmm! Were you not just complaining that he hadn't posted a link to support his opinion?

Good post, but it'll go over the heads of those that believe the western propaganda- baaaah. IMO Biden, or the neocons that IMO control him, decided they could bleed Russia, like they did in Afghanistan, and started a proxy war. End result- as usual, a gigantic mess, and only the 1% profit from it. Ukraine comes out of this a loser, even if they succeed in making Putin give up. A nation full of grief for the thousands of young men that died for the west's hatred of Russia. When it's all over, will it have been worthwhile? So long as MAD didn't happen, not for anyone but the 1%. If the madmen escalate us into MAD, we all lose.

Disagree all you like. Those states will likely never agree to change the constitution so the coasts can win every election- a Democrat president for ever. Without their support the constitution can not be changed. LOL.

I think he'll be worse for the Palestinians. Hopefully it will all be over before he can join in the atrocities. I don't see how it can continue till January next year.

I spent a year in C M in a hotel room, by myself. Not THE best, but one of the best years of my life. I didn't have a single boring day. However, I probably spent far too much time on AN, and speaking of which I should have got off this forum about an hour ago to do something actually useful, so I'm outahere.

The bars are not what's interesting, it's what's going on around them. Too many people are in such a rush to get to nowhere that they miss everything on the way. Parks in Pattaya- thou jest, assuredly. The only park in Pattaya got stolen by the council to put up a stupid automated car park that didn't work. Pack of vandals in city hall IMO.
