Which is why they will never see it. There is no glory in a trench, except for the generals miles and mile and miles behind the lines. The WW1 squaddies knew a thing or two about trench warfare 'Hanging on the Old Barbed Wire' If you want to find the lance-jack, I know where he is I know where he is, I know where he is If you want to find the lance-jack, I know where he is He's scrounging round the cookhouse door. I've seen him, I've seen him Scrounging round the cookhouse door, I've seen him, Scrounging round the cookhouse door. The company sergeant...He's laying on the latrine floor The quarter master...Miles and miles behind the lines. The sergeant-major...Thieving all the squaddies' rum. The buckshee private...Buried in a deep shell hole. The C.O....Down in a deep dugout. The brasshats...Drinking claret at Brigade HQ. The politicians....Drinking brandy at the House of Commons bar. The whole battalion...Hanging on the old barbed wire.

The obvious conclusion is that either the western propagandists think everyone is as dumb as a rock and will believe the BS, or they are as dumb as a rock and can't get the message right. Follow the money!

It's nearly a month since this thread was started and what has Blinken, Biden etc done about it- nothing is what. The bombing still goes on, the children still die. Blinken IMO is just a windbag good for nothing.

IMO the zionists are doing their best to link it to Jews, then it will be illegal to be anti israel.

I'd say both sides post as many polls. You are fond of them yourself.

NATO may not be the machine it once was, but it doesn't matter when they have MAD as a backup.

Instant families might seem like a good idea, till reality slaps one across the face a few dozen times.

He sure got that wrong then. They may have been prototypes, but hardly laughing freemen- just as messed up in the head as the rest of us, and all those drugs didn't help.

I absolutely believe that we are the remnants from an alien race that lived on Earth so long ago that we have forgotten they existed. There is plenty of evidence pointing to a race that built things impossible for primitive humans to have built, mainly in Sth America, but also in Egypt. I don't think that we are of that race though. Makes no difference to believing in God though.

I found a rather interesting quote about life on the internet.

I watched a Tull VDO once. He had a rather unusual leg activity when performing. Music wise I'm not a Tull fan- does that put me beyond the Pale?

Yes, clicking on the quote button works, sometimes. This time it didn't.

Even if they did have such tapes ( do they and does anyone care- that's probably quite moderate behaviour compared to what does go on in bedrooms all over the world ), now that AI can fake any digital medium, can anyone believe any digital publication anymore? IMO if such tapes did exist they would have been leaked long ago.

You were doing so well and then you went and spoiled it with TDS.

If you don't know, why did you say "Who will release tapes" ?

The EU isn't Russia, but you know that.

I really don't know if you are being serious, or not. Never mind, carry on.

Except that defending Ukraine isn't defending the west. Russia isn't threatening the west any more than usual by invading Ukraine, IMO. Putin could take all of Ukraine and it wouldn't make any difference to the rest of the world, any more than when it was part of the USSR. It's good for western arms manufacturers though. I served in the military, so I was prepared to go in harms way. Did you serve?

I don't care if you believe me or not. I'm giving my opinion, just like you are. People are welcome to decide for themselves whom they believe.

You have a magic crystal ball that can see what I think then? Never mind, carry on.

No, it's more like the time Suez shipping was stopped for years by Egypt over israel. Did any "free trading nations" clear that blockage, with whatever tools they had? Did the US send a task force then? https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/africa/300264288/before-the-ever-given-all-the-other-times-the-suez-canal-was-forced-to-close A decade later, at the outbreak of the 1967 Mideast war, Egypt closed the canal to international shipping as Israeli forces struck again at the canal zone and entrenched in the Sinai Peninsula. This time, the canal was shut for eight years.

They don't have to take the aggressor option straight away. Stop the Gaza conflict- something Biden can do tomorrow, and then see if the Houthies will stand by their claim that it's only against the Gaza conflict.

Seems we do live in a world of greed. I guess we really are doomed then. The ironic thing is that the money they are using was given to them by the west in exchange for shoddy cheap products.

It now waits to be seen what the Russians will do. If Putin has any sense he will not do anything. America is fast alienating the Arab nations over support for israel, Iran is already invested in anti American efforts in the region, and it's not looking good for the US and it's allies in that region. Putin can look on and enjoy the unfolding morass for the US as it edges ever closer to yet another disastrous Middle East mess.

I work on the assumption that China supports only China, and every foreign activity is decided on the basis that it will advance Chinese interests and confound it's enemies ( IMO China has the US on its enemies list ). I may well be wrong, but IMO supporting the US against the Houthies is not in China's interests, and anything that removes American influence in the Middle East is to China's benefit.
