  1. Are such "frameworks for negotiations" the same idea as "concepts for a plan". After Trump's bizarre embarrassing public ramblings about immigration and Democrat run states and cities, the G7 summit leaders rather obviously decided that there was no point in having anything to do with him. That is why he got the hump, climbed aboard Panda Express ( it delivers orange chicken) and went home!
  2. Particularly when done by heavily armed, masked unidentifiable members of a ramshackle collection of militarised federal agencies, with no visible identification; then holding those arrested incommunicado in privately run detention centres. That has rather come to define the Republican way!
  3. If you are underneath it when it is dropped, then I should imagine it is pretty horrible.
  4. Better in Swanage eh, Bob?
  5. Alert the NAAFI, sounds like a task for the Short Range Desert Group! 🙄
  6. Trump is dead? You heard it here first! And such a reliable source.
  7. Oh dear no, he will come back as Ho Chi Minh!
  8. Not as much face lost as there would be if there were to be a fight at the border, with the same outcome as the last couple of times!
  9. @KhaoHom, join me in the blue corner! There will pretty soon be a queue outside the ropes to get in!
  10. "In the red corner we have susan/spark trader/bignok/Harris fan, in the blue corner we have, well anyone he/she can pick a fight with!"
  11. Oh dear, you don't have ambitions to be a moderator do you Bob? In the (unlikely) event of such an elevation, which of your various identities will you assume?
  12. FPP got 151 seats (251 required for a parliamentary majority) and 37.99 of the vote. It was the biggest share, but certainly not a clear majority. That led to the coalition negotiations. After some breath takingly cynical shenanigans Pheu Thai ended up forming a coalition government, which had a majority in the parliament.
  13. I suppose that Nippon Steel reckon that with US Steel protected by a tariff wall they can still make money from it within the US.
  14. If I recall no party had a clear majority. Therefore a coalition was formed. I don't like the way the coalition was put together, nevertheless when the dust settled she had a majority in parliament.
  15. Quite unlike Anutin then... But what constitutes being qualified? In a democracy, even one as flawed as this one, the requirement is to command a majority in the parliament. I don't like the way in which that was arranged, but Paetongtarn emerged from the shenanigans following the election commanding a majority. As for these two buffoons from Khon Kaen...
  16. Well in my case it is because I am handsome! On my occasional forays to the very limited bar scene in my neck of the woods I chat, flirt, buy drinks for the girl who I am with and enjoy myself. I don't shag them, bar fine or grope. I do usually enjoy a kiss when I leave the bar. But then, as I said, I am universally regarded as handsome.
  17. A Lieutenant General working as a medic! Talk about multi tasking!
  18. For some reason I have great problems with connecting Bhumjaithai and the concept of honour! I would also far rather that The Prime Minister was talking to Cambodia's leaders, than the army and it's political bedfellows start a war; people will suffer and die, and going on past performance it will be a war they will lose.
  19. It will be interesting to see how the Washington Post readers react to the Bezos driven changes. Having being presumably broadly content with "Pravda on the Potamac", for many years, will they remain with the new direction being taken?
  20. I think everyone knows! Probably not on tape now, technology has moved on. Digital is so much more secure!
  21. I suppose the critical things are 1) how many missiles do they have, 2) how many launchers, 3) can they keep the production facilities intact. One can be sure that the Israelis will be going for the launchers and production facilities!
  22. Thank you, so only in the US. It doesn't come as a surprise that he is trying to engineer a "fire sale price" for his friends! I am surprised that he hasn't started a similar operation on his own Social Media platform, he could call it "Trump Dump" perhaps!
