I don't despise him, I just don't want him running for POTUS and splitting the GOP vote and letting a Democrat win.

That's no reason to make her POTUS though.

Surely not many would actually vote for Harris in a primary? She proved that she couldn't even sort the southern border.

If we can't have Trump ( and I hope we don't ) De Santis will do the job. Roll on the election.

Short of starting WW3, what more can they do?

I experienced one such in Ireland, at a place called Mellifont.

Hmmm. If he can't get legal representation should a court case proceed? Every accused has a right to representation in court, don't they?

Link?

The significant word being "projections"!

How do you work that out? IMO NATO was set up to deter USSR from invading a NATO country, not to protect countries not in NATO.

No secret- the other ones are pants.

Methinks you confuse the top guys at Fox with journalists. They are businessmen that want to make a profit- end of. BTW, are there any real journalists any more? I've seen too much BS opinion pushed as "news" in last few years to think there are. Even the BBC fell from grace some years ago. I think we can dispense with the talking heads trying to insert themselves into the topic in tv interviews, and just have a camera filming the interviewee talking.

One assumes that includes the spares and training for the maintenance crews, the transporters, and of course the fuel to run them- they are thirsty beasts.

They can "vow" all they want, till it results in actual more support. The longer it lasts the more unpopular it will become for their populations that see longer waiting times for medical treatment etc and increasing prices for everything. Ask British nurses if they agree to be paid too little so bullets can be sent to Ukraine.

Does anyone think China cares about sanctions? All they have to do is to cut off the supply of rare earth metals to the west and they are the ones laughing.

He may come to regret saying that. Doesn't leave any reason for the Russians to negotiate.

First thing I thought when I read that was that it's too short at 5 weeks, so I checked how long the British army basic training takes and I reckon I'm right about that. http://www.armedforces.co.uk/army/listings/l0138.html There are 23 weeks of military training, which include basic or advanced soldiering, progressive physical training, infantry weapons, grenades, military leadership, marksmanship, parade ground drill. There is also a two week final exercise in the field.

We HOPE he took a cognitive test. Fixed it for you.

No, that's reality.

That's the reaction of those that don't realise that hospitals cost, A LOT, to run, and I'm assuming she isn't in a charity hospital. Hospitals have thousands of employees and suppliers that expect to be paid, medical equipment is hugely expensive, buildings require maintenance, lawyers and accountants get their cut etc etc etc. That's why hospitals in LOS are run as a business, not a charity.

Had I known that they were even going to put that capabilities in a car, I'd be saying "I told you so" now. Insane idea, IMO, at present time. Wait till computers are more reliable.

Well, it belonged to the Ottoman empire till 1783, so perhaps it belongs to Turkey. Seriously, Russia has a better claim to it than Ukraine, IMO. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/why-did-russia-give-away-crimea-sixty-years-ago Crimea was part of Russia from 1783, when the Tsarist Empire annexed it a decade after defeating Ottoman forces in the Battle of Kozludzha, until 1954, when the Soviet government transferred Crimea from the Russian Soviet Federation of Socialist Republics (RSFSR) to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (UkrSSR).

I doubt it's not important, but IMO rather that the US realises what is at stake if Ukraine were to try and take it, and is not going to go down that road to WW3, if it can.

What's a "reliable source" these days? I don't trust any media of any sort and assume that it's BS till proven otherwise. Even once trusted sources such as the BBC are suspect now.

I traveled hundreds of times on long distance buses in LOL with no problems, traveled hundreds of times on trains with no problems, flew occasionally with no problems, drove a car for thousands of km with no accidents. The only real problem I had was while on a m'bike and someone drove into me. I also used ferries many times but was on one that broke down at sea, so not a frequent problem. Perhaps you were unlucky.
