and yet, you are willing to let Putin butcher Ukrainians unimpeded. Prove that. Had they negotiated likely no lives lost, Ukraine would not be wrecked and the west would not be pouring money into an IMO unwinnable war. In the end Ukraine will, IMO, be forced to negotiate when western countries are no longer going to keep pouring the money in. Looks like the US is getting a bit tired of it. So what will they have gained, other than a lot of weeping wives and children, and a wrecked country? However, keep thinking Ukraine can win, and keep working to pay tax to send there by all means.

Could be that those that sought to profit from the return of the horde will be out of pocket. Could be the best thing that happened to LOS though, as IMO the horde was destroying Thailand as a nice place to live.

Where did I say "knowingly unprepared"? If you are going to quote me, perhaps you could stop inventing things I never said. Considering I never heard of her, why should I believe anything she says? I've had more than enough of so called experts that are later proven to be talking through their hats- eg weapons of mass destruction in a previous conflict, and a certain general that ended up with a great deal of egg on face. BTW, said general sort of vanished following that debacle.

Perhaps back then there was enough money to do so, but now the cupboard is bare and I for one oppose borrowing money to investigate things that will make zero difference to people's lives.

Seems that it depends on the focus of the inquiry as to how relevant the evidence is. When it was a different POTUS the same posters apparently claimed that everything said was gospel.

Unfortunately, seems that some on here only see life that conforms to earth's environment as "life".

Why did you quote me when you said absolutely nothing relevant to my post? Deflecting much?

and having found it, so what? Unless found life has the ability to travel faster than the speed of light, they are going to be in a galaxy far far away, probably for as long as mankind survives.

Correct. I've posted before that "life" might be silicone based, or just a cloud of intelligent gas. It might even be mobile vegetation, or algae. BTW, looking at what is going on with the human race now, one sometimes wonders if intelligent life exists on planet earth.

I know that, which is why I'd never seriously imagine that I could make a successful case against a woman in court. Emotional scarring is apparently only significant if a woman suffers them.

At a minimum, the accused's identity should be protected till they are are actually charged. This conviction by idiots on social media is an abomination IMO.

I'm going with a lot of female liars out there.

She "raped" me emotionally, but trying to get the courts to accept that and give her the equivalent penalty would be somewhat difficult.

Does any sane person actually believe that this one planet we live on is the only one in the universe to have life on it?

I don't know much about her, but IMO it's an abomination that anyone could spend 3 decades sucking large off the taxpayer to sit in congress, and especially that they did it till age 90. It's not like it's a real job, is it? I'd like a 3 term or 10 years maximum for any politician in any country. The very valid reason is the saying "power corrupts".

That is the obvious solution and one that will never happen IMO. IMO the time to prevent gang warfare was stopping immigration of people with zero cultural affinity to ethnic Swedes, but that was long ago.

Did he say he wanted to cut funding for Ukraine- evidence please? The argument is that Ukraine funding should be separated from normal government spending and voted on separately.

There was a bit more to it than "the US withdrew to its borders", but perhaps you are unaware of the reasons. Accusing anyone that disagrees with funding a proxy war with Ukrainians paying the ultimate price as Putin lovers is IMO the usual response of those that have no argument to support the death of other people in a conflict they will never take part in.

The zombies/ sheeple have been well and truly brainwashed IMO. The Romans started it with their bread and circuses to quell the mob. These days it's MSM and social media.

Agree 100%. I hope Rand doesn't buckle.

Time for the El Salvador solution perhaps?

Given your obvious sentiments, perhaps it would be relevant to ask how many immigrants are living in your house, or is it just other people that have to accommodate them?

Farangs that pay large and go through the hassle of legally living in LOS are in no way comparable to the people that are the problem in so many western countries. Also, most farangs are merely long stay tourists as have to renew permission to stay every year.

Far as I know, Sweden has no history of colonization since the days of Vikings. So I doubt they have a reason for white guilt.

Al Jazeera was very careful not to mention ethnicity as well, so I did a google search and came up with an admission by the PM that it was ethnic. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/swedish-pm-says-integration-immigrants-has-failed-fueled-gang-crime-2022-04-28/ Swedish PM says integration of immigrants has failed, fueled gang crime. Given that they are apparently keen on allowing immigration of a certain ethnicity/ religion, seems that that policy has come to bite them on the posterior. Can/ will they solve it? IMO not a chance, as that horse has departed long ago, leaving an empty stable.
