None of the above. I joined because it offered more money and less hours than farming ( 84 hour week milking cows for BA $ ). Best thing I ever did. Gave me an interesting and sometimes exciting life ( mostly ) with travel overseas, a 2 year posting in Singapore and a year in Antarctica. More importantly, gave me an insight to life I'd never have gained in a "normal" job. I only left because after Vietnam ended the good guys left and the little hitlers took over. I did carry on in territorials for another 12 years though, to add a bit of variety to my life. Overall, it was a mix of good and bad, and a lot of in between ordinary life, but I'll never regret that I joined up.

Just pointing out that western civilization is presently remarkably similar to Rome just before the barbarians took it over. You do know about the fall of Rome and why it was like present day western civilization, don't you?

Pointless trying to educate them. They will never believe that Trump did anything good in his entire life. Posted dozens of times that I saw that he had a bad employment record and omitted the fact that that happened after covid started.

He might have been born lucky and made a lot of money, but that doesn't mean he knows diddly about politics or the lives of ordinary people. If he decided to become president, how do you think he'd do- IMO worse than Harris.

It's only bad when the enemy of the day, Iran, Russia etc does it. When it's US personnel waterboarding people that's just mild interrogation.

Sooooo, America should immediately discontinue relations with China, a country that does not love America, and acts badly in Tibet and against the Uighers.

Seems some of our esteemed companion posters are somewhat naive when it comes to "their" side in the cold war.

Anyone wanting this war to continue should immediately join up to be in the final victory, LOL. Don't miss out on the glory and a medal.

and? Stalin ordered the murder of about 20 million or so Soviet citizens, and died in his bed. Complaining about a leader of Russia doing nasty work is as pointless as whistling into the wind. How about all the murderous dictators that the US cherished, such as Sadam, when he was fighting Iraq? Do they get a pass because the US wanted them in power?

Still crying that Harris didn't win then?

You know as well as anyone that if Russia itself was threatened by a possibly winning NATO side, it's game over for all of us. In the event of such an unlikely attack as you desire, you better hope they don't do a MacArthur and cross the border. BTW, are you referring to the well organised ( basically NATO force ) that couldn't win in Afghanistan against a bunch of Taliban in a war lasting 20 years. History tells us that anyone invading Russia doesn't win. It also said that about Afghanistan, and that was certainly true in the recent past. We should learn from history.

Seriously? Considering you were the one deleted for continually altering Trump's name you have some gall to call someone out for breaking forum rules on that.

Same company as Biden- the "using education as a means to avoid going to Vietnam" platoon.

If, and it's unlikely, the entire country is lost, does it matter who's tantrum is to blame? It's a war that should never have started, Ukraine was never going to win ( IMO ) and the US was apparently not interested in Ukraine winning, preferring to let Ukrainians die in their proxy war to weaken Russia.

No surprises there. I'm only surprised that they even turned up, given what is going on has been more or less ignored by western governments. The only question now is if they actually do anything about it.

and what actual content is in your post with a stupid meme about beef?

Do tell. You just posted a finger pointing message with nothing to contribute to the topic.

As opposed to the Dem's forum bots attacking him with made up bs.

Prove that isn't a fake photo and he actually said that. It's just the sort of <deleted> that anti Trumpers make up. An AI could easily substitute her head for her mothers. IMO it's just BS, and the message is fake. If that was true it would have come out during the election- it didn't. Just more bs by Trump haters.

The sad thing is that current western leaders are such a shower that we believe anything bad about them. We haven't had decent leaders for decades.

I doubt you would like the bigger picture. IMO the bigger picture is that western civilization is doomed. The Ukrainian fiasco is just a last sputter before the whole rotten charade collapses under incompetent leadership, debt, internal strife and even civil wars All self inflicted.

LOL, I wasn't referring to Europe.

I agree. I saw a lot of tourist morons at Thai beaches.

I'm surprised that you out UK allies, though I agree that they are pretty fiendish.

Them and pretty much everyone on here.
