Indeed it was predictable if anyone cares enough to read any of my posts from the start of the conflict. The Great Game has been played for centuries past and likely will for centuries to come. A cynical man might say that God and the devil are playing a game to see who gets all the souls. Are we stupid? Probably, to put up with the BS.

Interesting post. I see shades of the Russia Afghanistan conflict where the CIA was supplying enough arms to keep the resistance alive, but not win the war. I understand the idea was to bleed the USSR using proxy Afghan militias. That ended of course once Gorbachev became leader and withdrew the Soviet forces.. Perhaps that was the plan this time as well. Makes sense to me. They certainly keep going on about how they are bleeding Russia on the cheap. Of course it's not cheap to Ukrainian widows and fatherless children.

Charge away. Charges are irrelevant unless proven. When was Trump proven guilty then?

When will you guys understand that Trump is as unpopular with some GOP characters as he is with the Dems? Being GOP is not indicative of being MAGA in and of itself.

Waste of time. They have been talking for decades and no result. IMO it has to be either a signed deal for a two state agreement or nothing. Israel has no intention of allowing the Palestinians a state, as they proved by their approval of more illegal houses in illegal settlements on illegally occupied Palestinian land. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68490034 Israel approves plans for 3,400 new homes in West Bank settlements

Errr, they already invaded Gaza. Did you mean Rafa?

You seem to believe that netanyahu would agree to a ceasefire if the information was given. IMO he will only willingly agree to a ceasefire when the last Gazan is dead or dying. He has IMO proven that the fate of the hostages is not something he cares about, and just something to cover for his real intent. If Gaza gave that info I'm sure he'd come up with something else. He proved he wasn't serious when he wouldn't let the israeli team negotiate.

I'd love to continue seeing your humerous anecdotes, but I have a nice anime to watch, so I'm outa here. Carry on without me.

This denier of human caused global warming doesn't give a rat's bottom about whether the planet is warming from fossil fuel use or nanobots from Mars. It doesn't pass the BS threshold. Whatever the reason for it governments are not actually doing anything about it except as an excuse to impose new taxes, ergo it's BS.

Exactly. What the instruments don't show is the Man Made element. They show the planet is warming, but it's the tame scientists that make it about humans being naughty. If it was accepted that it's a natural cycle they would not be able to tax us for it. Follow the money.

That's hilarious coming from someone that doesn't realise that world news isn't about Thailand. BTW, when talking about trolling ................................................

Perhaps writing all the hate speech made him tired and he had to go for a long lie down.

IMO the military industrial complex will always find a way to extract as much as possible from the sheeple citizens. Perhaps it will be to build autonomous fighting machines at a few zillion $ per. So much for the Leopards and Abrams that were sure to win the war for Ukraine.

Carry on living in your fantasy dream. You won't like it if you wake up and have to face reality.

Nah. He just does that to trigger people like you.

How do you know he didn't?

In an age of hypersonic missiles, any large ship is probably just a good target now. I can see new designs to provide a low profile, or stealth. Bit difficult to make an aircraft carrier stealthy though. If an aircraft carrier was to be sunk in the Med by Iranian proxies it would truly stun and horrify the world. It would certainly stun and horrify the US that has spent rather a lot to build the biggest carriers in the world.

I used to get that. 90 days and a trip to Malaya and repeat as many times as wanted. Train across the border, then get off, walk up the hill and return to LOS. Bus to Hat Yai. Bliss.

Hmmmmm. You didn't actually mention any country or group against which the US was defending itself, which might have helped.

I hope you are not including Iraq in that. Iraq had nothing to do with 9 11.

I can't quote from it, but before they put up the pay or stuff off banner It's being denied that it's going to be sold. However it seems that they are having a problem finding enough sailors to man both. LOL. Perhaps if they hadn't wasted all the money in Ukraine and israel they might be able to afford a few more sailors. Here's the link. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/29/hms-prince-of-wales-will-not-be-sold-says-navy/

?????????????????/ Since when were we able to open a thread on world news? Do try and get it right.

No dedicated thread yet, but Trump slaughters Haley in Super Tuesday. Dems better get the tissues ready for November. They did everything they could to make him go away and it just made him more popular.

Prove that or you are a liar.

War has rules. Israel does not abide by those rules and is committing crimes against humanity and war crimes. October 7 does not excuse the israeli apologists that try and cover for those crimes from being supporters of IMO state terrorism.
