Idict away, but IMO it won't amount to much, except with people that think it's an important court. IMO it's the same as the UN.

Or, perhaps he doesn't care what soft western countries think. We haven't stood up to bad people since Korea, IMO, and I don't count the Iraq conflicts as anything to do with supporting democracy or removing dictators. Had Saddam not gone loopy and invaded Kuwait he'd probably still be in charge, IMO.

I was replying to someone that thinks Putin will be. I give that as much chance as there was of Mao going on trial in Europe. IMO all the talk on here of Putin being assassinated or removed somehow is just wishful thinking. Takes more than good manners to survive as a dictator. Tell me if I'm wrong, after it happens.

Indeed, which is why it behooves western leaders to tread carefully. I'm sure none of us want to see Europe destroyed in a nuclear war. We need a Jack Kennedy now, but sadly all we've got is Joe. I hope he has really good advisors that he listens to.

LOL. Justice doesn't require an International Criminal court to prevail. I'm pretty sure justice happened in the Middle Ages too. It's not just about this conflict.

Life isn't fair. Horrible people get to be in charge and nice guys come last in the love game. Don't like it, become a politician and change it.

Then they should have sorted it at the start of the relationship.

My entire life has been marked by wars with despicable atrocities going on, but I don't recall any significant outrage on the scale of this one. Perhaps because all those other ones were carried out in far away places and in countries we don't care about. If any are really exercised about it they can go volunteer with The International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine. I'm sure they are welcoming recruits now.

If what you say is true it's unlikely he'd be around to go on trial. Either hiding in a friendly country or having crossed the great divide. However justice has this strange habit of catching up with people in the end. Idi Amin died in Saudi, Stalin died of a stroke and was given a state funeral and Mao, who may have caused the deaths of up to 45 million Chinese died of a heart attack and was honoured after his death. Putin has a ways to go to be near the last 2 in brutality.

Why don't you start some happy threads then?

LOL. Serbia doesn't have nuclear weapons.

If you don't mind woke it's not a bad movie per se. Disney has something to do with the movie which explains the excessive wokeness.

Getting pregnant isn't obligatory. If by some freak chance I woke up as a woman that was at least half way attractive I'd be getting free dinners and loads of sex every night, but pregnant, never . As for marriage- not a chance.

I don't think "romantic love" exists. IMO in the beginning it's lust and if we are lucky it becomes companionship or friendship. If I want "love" I'll get a dog, but if it's sex then it has to be a female, and if the only people that will with me look like my granny then I'll be celibate. Too many pitfalls with getting married for me to bother.

That would be hard given I don't stay on here too long any more, but I know what you mean. Extra supplements- not unless you count vitamin C. I think I'm probably normal for a guy with the usual hormones. Perhaps it's the lack of opportunity that makes me think about it more than I would if I could. I envy guys in LOS that have enough money to indulge in rumpty on a regular basis. They should thank the deity every day that they can, as there are a lot of guys that can't.

That would qualify as a miracle as I gave up alcohol long before I discovered Thailand's night life. Like I said, I don't need anything to be instantly lustful.

I'm really happy I didn't sleep with girls when I was a young fella, as knowing my luck she'd get pregnant, I'd have had to marry her, and I'd have missed out on all the great things I did in my life. That was back in the days before the pill and having an illegitimate child was a great shame. Plus no tax money to unmarried mothers, and they normally gave them up for adoption if the guy wouldn't marry them.

Actually it can be a real experience. I fell in love with my first GF and she with me almost at first sight. Back then good girls didn't have sex ( no pill back then ) because of the risk of getting pregnant, so it wasn't about sex. Unfortunately, life parted us so we never got married. She did get married after me, and lived together with her husband till he died a couple of years ago, which is probably unusual nowadays.

I didn't need beers to fall in lust, but she did have to actually be attractive. Given by some of the bar girls I saw around, I guess several beers were needed to think they were an option.

I don't qualify to get the pension in Thailand, so I was living on my savings while there. They had some stupid rule I didn't know about, and it was a shock when I was denied. I could have managed, just, if I'd stayed married, but that became impossible, so i had to leave and return to NZ to get the pension.

Isn't that her problem? Given that she wasn't forced at gunpoint to get married, it's up to her to go out and work, earn money, save and invest for the time when he's not around.

Government probably doesn't stay awake at night worrying about how citizens that CHOSE to go live in a different country are missing out on NHS treatment. However, I do wish they stopped illegals from benefiting from other people's contributions. If you turn up in a leaky raft without an invitation, you shouldn't get a council flat and free NHS treatment.

and your suggestion for the something that will not end in a nuclear holocaust is.......................................?

To answer the OP, no.

or by countries supplied with the planes and munitions by the west to go bomb other countries.
