talk about fumbling the ball. ho ho ho 555 LOL. it was your 'hero' who did not have the balls to serve his country in the military, due to claiming he had (spontaneously appearing) bone spurs. It is the real American heroes who do not take daddy's money & influence to buy their way in life.

deflecting is a LAZY way of (non)participating in a thread. . you haven't responded to the specific point I made, which disgusts me. according to your boss, American taxpayers are now is going to get their money back - PLUS ''. as I wrote, what is he - a bloody money lender.? or is that part of your idea of American decency is?

I agree the killing should stop. but the 'rare earth' deal does NOT include any guarantees that the US will help to secure Ukraine's borders from another Russian invasion, say 2 years from now, will it? I admire Trump's business savvy, (as compared to Helpless Harris) but not much else. how do you react to Trump's description of the deal? to quote him verbatim: ''we will get that money back. We're helping the country (Ukraine) through a very very big problem... but the American taxpayer now is going to get their money back - PLUS '' what is he - a bloody money lender.? Has the US now transitioned to being the 'World's Policeman' - with interest rates attached to its role? btw, he lies (nothing unusual there) - there is no way the US has pumped $300-350 billion into defending Ukraine). that's his new lie. the original lie was $500 billion

That's a bit of twisted logic there, in my view. what sticks with me, are the simple words of one Republican Senator, who said he was deeply trouble by the vote, which puts the US on the same side as Russia and North Korea". "These are not our friends. This posture is a dramatic shift from American ideals of freedom and democracy,". Never in the modern history, in fact ever since the formation of the UN has America walked away from its international responsibilities. Today should be a day of shame for Americans.

You....We......this is the state of the American empire, today : (deleted) - and I do mean 'deleted'. A nation divided is no longer a nation. and i don't blame either left or right, or middle. as we say in Canada - about the USA; nice country, pity about the people.

why can I not get Bingo-Bongo out of my head,?

as usual, black is white according to most Trump supporters . not saying it is a completely objective assessment it is just a more interesting American perspective: <https://understandingwar.org/.../ukraine-fact-sheet...> this certainly indicates a more knowledgeable assessments/news source than appears in US Media such as CNN, MSNS, etc. and by Russian, Turkish media & your source. It's illogical to think that Ukraine has no rights to sit at the table of a peace conference, with those who invaded its internationally recognized borders.

my latest: driving home , through a major rain storm at 6.00 pm. - drivers (cars & trucks) with no headlights on. there used to be a joke about this - drivers thinking that they need to save their headlights from wearing out...

an another instance of the same krap again, yesterday. (3 times in the past 6 days), at a small outlet of KFC in Makro Surat. 3 young Thais -at the next table to me, hollering into a mobile. i'm tired, it 3,00 pm & I'm getting my first food of the day. I don't need this (deleted). a loud ''turn it down please'' worked wonders. lots of giggles followed - which we all know means (''f u farang'' ) . to those of you who disagree, i will continue to react this way. it is important to not show any anger. i smiled and said good bye when i left, to show no hard feelings. for privately owned food outlets & so on, i will ask management to do something about this, otherwise i will vote with my feet. (must learn how to say that in Thai, as I am currently attending Thai language school (at 78 yrs young) 🙂

why am i reminded of this song? ''Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright. And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?" (Hint - it's the sunglasses)

this is off topic - I am looking for a referral to the correct forum please. I use Rabby.io wallet app. on my PC. I am unable to download it to my mobile (Huawei Pro 3 Android OS) . anyone having similar problems.? tia

I'm easily confused. what if you buy and sell on exchanges via Metamask, Pulsechain?

Is this a new social phenomenon? i was eating lunch, 2 different days, in 2 completely different locations - a upscale coffee shop in my small village and at the Sizzler, in Central Mall, Surat - a very popular restaurant. Each time, I had Thais sitting at a nearby table, with one of them conversing on their mobile, with the speaker on, max. First time, i said nothing (but I intend to talk to the cafe owner). At Sizzler, i took matters into my own hand. and told the Thai to turn down his phone. which he did. I have never encountered this before, in 28 years living here,; my travels take me out of my village to Surat and Phuket towns regularly.

now there you go again. Ethnic Russians tried to form their own independent republics (financed by Putin). quite rightly, the country they belong to put they down. rightly so.

which is why i call you a Russia apologist 🙂 why would anybody in their right mind believe Putin's 'version' of history ? he showed his 'style' by placing his army at the borders, saying 'I will not invade' and then he did so.

Nice try, but it's Bullxxxx - versus facts: this is why I categorize you as (a) a Russia appologist or (b) a Russian troll). the first thing to remember is the history of the relationship between Russia and Ukraine. all the way back to Stalin and later, Russia/USSR requisitioned agricultural products from Ukraine's rural population, leading to economic collapse. Russia implemented oppressive Russification policies, after it occupied Ukraine during World War II, in a treaty with Hitler. That is why there are large Russian speaking areas in Ukraine When the USSR was created, to include many of the Baltic states, it established control of Ukraine. Once the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, Ukraine regain its independence - as an internationally recognized country. the Russian speaking territories tried to form break-away republics (a black op instigated by Russia) . yes,they were savagely attacked by the military forces of the country they are part of. which part do you refuse to recognize as fact?

ah now, us Irish call them cute <deleted>. applogizes for that slip of the pen.

Made in PRC ?

unbelievable. Those are things which make me LOVE LOS . my list: motorcyclists who decide it's worth the risk to drive through a red light. posters to AN who can't spell. anything to do with the Thai answer to the Sopranos (Thaksin). people (99% Thai) at restaurants who stick their mobile out in front of their face, with the speaker turned on.

Good to see a Private Eye fan here 🙂

Every English person I know reports back, after visiting their homeland in, say that past 5 years, that it is the most depressing visit they have ever had. One exception is a friend of mine, who is a Nigel Farange fan (understandably, as he is the most opportunist and brilliant communicator in England). Since you appear to be a fan of the recent list of useless Tory Prime Ministers I would classify your remark about Starmer as the pot calling the kettle black.

how about the big picture, buddy? Your blase attitude reminds me of that song - 'whose that knockin' on my door? once Putin gets what he wants, with the help of the USA's shortsighted leaders, he will continue to gobble up more of Eastern Europe.

OMG ! real, actual, most likely; ......Facts

aka ''keep your head down''
