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.

Yup. Even as I write, our illustrious leaders are probably wondering on how much death they can buy with killbots, or if it'll be cheaper to conscript the cannon fodder. Given the 1% will likely own all the patents, helping people will IMO be waaaaaaay down on the list of things to do with AI bots. First thing is likely to be replacing humans as factory workers, then they'll work their way up the skill list. No doubt their fortified enclaves will have Robo cop type mecha bots to keep the unemployed riff raff away. Welcome to the future, you poor deluded souls that thought the 1% would share!

but will they shag you for free?

So, how does that work? You walk in the 7 11 or a restaurant and ask the first girl you see if she wants to go to the islands and she goes to get her bag to go with you? It's not like the ones I saw in such places had time to chat. Perhaps I missed all the girls just hanging around drinking coffee and waiting for some farang to come ask them to go to the beach. That reminds me of when I first arrived in Thailand. I was staying in Dynasty Inn and used to have breakfast at a German restaurant a short distance away. I was puzzled as to why so many girls used to be sitting around drinking coffee. It's not like the restaurant was anything special to want to hang out in. I was soooooo naive back then.

If anyone is bored in Pattaya they need to get out of bed occasionally. I guess they'd be bored anywhere, as Pattaya is about as interesting as it gets in a city.

Given the divorce rate in western countries is apparently 50%, age gap couples are not the only ones barely tolerating each others presence.

That's against forum rules. Stalking is not permitted. Thanks for posting that you intend to be a stalker.

Agreed. Such arrogance. Hope the door hits him on the way out.

How very true. Originally I wanted Trump to retire to play golf and never be heard of again, but due to the shenanigans trying to keep him from standing, I now not only want him to win, but to win large and then lay waste to the institutions that tried to sabotage him. It will also be music to hear all the snowflakes weeping, again.
