I've been following it on Al Jazeera and the response has been lacking. According to google, Saudi Arabia has only sent two plane loads of supplies. Why no military men to assist? Even Egypt has done more. Very sad news that apparently a bus load of Greek helpers was in an accident with dead and injured. https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/libya-says-four-members-greek-rescue-team-killed-road-accident-2023-09-17/ Four members of a Greek rescue team en route to the flood-ravaged city of Derna and three members of a Libyan family were killed in a road accident on Sunday, the health minister for the Libyan eastern government said.

Has the US government ever NOT reneged on any treaty with Native Americans? I doubt any treaty will save the land this time either. Greed rules these sad days.

Just in time to see car battery technology move away from lithium, LOL.

I have looked at that after enlarging the photo and there is no way I can tell from that photo. Even if it is upside down it's not like he's trying to read from it. IMO you are just posting bs in an attempt to gain cheap laughs.

Edited posts say that they are edited. His post does not.

If there are any out there, they are being a bit shy. No third party candidate has done well in my lifetime.

If it were between Biden and anyone I'd vote AGAINST Biden. I would have voted for Bernie over Trump, but they put up the pants suit woman, and I'd have voted for a rock over her. Trump will IMO never see the inside of a jail because he is entitled to secret service protection rest of his life. House arrest at most IMO. I don't care about billionaires, but Trump was a symbol of resistance to Washington morass, which IMO is why he's popular. I just want the dems out of the W H, and don't care who it is, though DeSantis seems like the best alternative to Trump.

Well, the people he wants to kill are responsible for the deaths of many, so if ever tried should be convicted and executed IMO. However in the real world, it's not that simple.

LOL. Reminds me of the restaurant on one of the islands where I ordered an egg salad and got sliced egg, with nothing else. Had I insisted on the salad part no doubt that would have been extra. Something that really irked me was a restaurant that offered a big breakfast but without baked beans. Baked beans were available as an extra but cost almost as much as the entire full breakfast. Didn't go back there again.

Why so negative? If a place doesn't give good value they deserve to be shunned.

Already happened to me. I had to go back to live in home country because the <deleted> bureaucrats won't give me my pension in LOS. I have a right to the pension so what right do the <deleted> have to say where I can have it?

I used to wonder how some farangs could have one sided long conversations with bargirls till I worked out that the girls are just pretending to understand, as that way they get a payday.

Feminists would say you are wanting women to be subservient. Far as I'm concerned, women wanted equality, so they can have it and pay for things themselves now.

Agree, Sounds like BS to me, unless he wasn't talking about a Thai woman.

I doubt a "good" Muslim woman would marry a man that was not a Muslim, so conversion would be necessary first.

I don't believe that we will ever get to that as IMO Gaia is going to rid the planet of us and start over. Likely by ever more efficient plagues ( was covid just a trial run? ), though the weather seems to be doing quite well on that at the moment.

Sadly I agree with that. However, the peasants will likely revolt and burn the whole thing down. If I'm around when that happens I'll be out there with a pitchfork.

Plenty of dreamers on this thread!

In that situation, the US was IMO entirely right to use the bombs. That situation does not exist with Ukraine. When someone is trying to excuse the Japanese, I remember what they did to the Chinese and Koreans- they deserve no sympathy for some payback.

Do you not understand that the US was actually involved in fighting the Japanese themselves, not some proxy country being sacrificed? Thousands of US troops had already died and the casualty count for the invasion of the Japanese homeland would have been horrific. The bombs were an attempt ( happily successful ) to make Japan surrender.

Agree with that. Seems some think that the US can just destroy Russia and suffer no retaliation.

While I agree with you on the specifics of what you wrote, can you point out which NATO countries were attacked by Russia?

Carry on dreaming! Russia isn't even on a war footing YET. Perhaps Hitler was thinking along the same lines when Barbarossa was succeeding. Was he right to think so?

Lots and lots of dead US and allied troops. If the bombing of Hiroshima ended the war, it was worth it IMO. Let's not forget the Japanese murdered way more Chinese, Koreans etc than died in the two atom bomb attacks.

Slight difference in present situation though. Russia is not threatening the west behind the NATO line. The Japanese were threatening to invade the US and India ( under British rule ).
