Just verbiage IMO. They know what is necessary- a permanent ceasefire, end of the occupation in the West Bank, removal of the illegal settlers and a Palestinian state not controlled by israel.

Hamas will likely refuse any "pause" involving the release of the hostages, when they know the slaughter will just carry on soon as the "pause" ends, and without hostages it will be many times worse than at present. The US must know that, so IMO are just trying to make themselves look good. When they stop sending bombs I'll know they are serious about an end to the conflict.

In your opinion. He is certainly, IMO, more corrupt than all the coups since 1932 lumped together.

Thanks for the laugh OP. I needed some humour in a not so good day.

Pity she wasn't as engaged in solving the IMO Biden created chaos at the southern border when she was put in charge of that. I can't begin to describe how much I "dislike" that woman on here.

Ah, so not proven yet. Seems Biden doesn't understand that an indictment is not a guilty verdict and that innocent till proven guilty applies. Perhaps he just forgot that- he seems to forget a lot these days, like people having died.

Did he call for the Mueller investigation to be dropped after the Steele report was shown to be a steaming pile of horse <deleted>? Of course he didn't, so bring it on GOP. Investigate that old guy as hard as you can.

So there it is, diversity and wokeness (whatever that means) are the problems. Add that being in the military can suck a lot, quite apart from the chance of getting one's guts blown out. I spend over a decade in the military, and while I got to see much of the world courtesy of the tax payer, there were too many <deleted> and <deleted> in it in positions of authority for me to stay in it. I cost the taxpayer thousands of $ to train, which was all lost when I left because of the bullying. The military is a good example of <deleted> rises to the top, IMO. It's just not an attractive option these days when one can earn a living without the bullying from a load of morons that got a bit of power.

I never thought I'd say this about a post of yours, but I agree with almost all of that. I'm unsure of what the OP wants the west to do, but it seems that they want more wars.

No, it's not. That's so last century thinking. AI robotics means that less people will be needed than at present, so all the immigrants now will become just more on the dole. I'd say within 10 years all the current immigrants will be unemployed and unemployable.

Too little, too late IMO. Should have stopped it at the start, but it's never too late to try and correct mistakes.

LOL. Can you name any Arab country that since the end of the European Dark Age has gone out to colonise other countries? I'm pretty sure that was a European thing. Soooo, your contention is that since the Arab countries were colonised by Europeans it's all their own fault that modern israel was imposed on them by old white men half the planet away. Carry on.

I worked in Saudi for years so I am well aware of what Arabs are like, but I don't like bullies whatever ethnicity they are persecuting.

Then you can hardly complain, when in the future israel may face a more substantial enemy than some lightly armed resistance fighters that feels the same way about israelis. We reap what we sow, according to the Old Testament, which is the Jewish part of the Bible.

Deflection. Anything to say about one of the last functioning hospitals in Gaza closing?

I refuse to believe that the US is serious about a two state solution. They have had over 30 years to make it happen, and done sod all to force the israelis to accept it. I just can't see that changing. IMO it'll just be lip service, while Palestinian territory in the West Bank is stolen, till nothing at all is left. To make it happen, all the Americans have to do is not use the veto in the UN.

On that I agree 100%. Israel will continue to oppress Palestinians and steal their land, and Palestinians will continue to fight back ( this is nothing new- the Irish resisted the English occupiers for 300 years or so ). Is that what the israelis really want? To live in fear for generations to come? Don't forget that millions of Palestinians live outside the borders of israel, where the IDF can't touch them. They will not forget.

I was all agog to see what you wrote, but you deleted it, aww. Did you know that you can delete the quote box, which would save posters the trouble of looking?

Seems like a reasonable prediction to me. I'll only believe he isn't scamming if he's off to the fire soon, and even then I'd like a DNA test done to prove the corpse is his.

As long as the best refers to departing up a chimney, I agree. So far the plan is working well. One can only hope he's off to the fire before he manages to do any more damage to Thailand than done already.

LOL. The point of being woke is that only woke people are right and everyone else is wrong.

Every human ( except a few hermaphrodites ) is born with either male or female genitals, ergo every human is either male or female. PERIOD. If an adult wishes to live as a person of the opposite gender, that's OK by me, but they will never actually BE a person of the opposite gender. IMO no child should be allowed to have any permanent physical alterations done as children don't know anything, let alone what they want to be when they grow up.

I did a lot of somethings in my life; certainly more than most. The only something I missed out on was going to war ( I was on my way to Vietnam and NZ ended it's participation there ), and in hindsight that was probably a good thing. There does come a time when doing something is satisfied by having a long lie down, reading a good book, watching an enjoyable movie or looking at a lovely sunset though.

You are planning on leaving AN then? Just couldn't resist.

Why is the guy on the right side of the picture spending time looking at some stupid vdo when he could be having a good time for real? He must be a loser.
