Except for the metal stackers.

Exactly but bar the Covid dip, this has already been a 15 year bull market, pumped up by the most extreme money printing in history most of this period, as well as being further encouraged by mostly near zero interest rates. After this, the broad US markets are all due for a major correction, with or without Trump. The dollar is step-sliding and will go down too .. then down more. Nearly everyone ignores the debt, with the unfunded liabilities being at least triple that of the official (gov) debt.

If that is true then, for Russia, Putin is even more counterproductive.

If you want to compare power stations to missiles, then go ahead and be silly.

It looks like the main inconvenience has been Putin. I'm not sure he has any right to be "there" over Zelensky.

It would be if they did. The fallout would contaminate European Russia too, where most of the Russians live.

It came from Iran.

The problem is both. Fraud is a crime.

Then maybe I have something at last? I don't have any evidence, only my own recollections from my time in Africa. For foreign news, the Africans I remember listened to French or BBC services but never VoA. No U.S. colonial history there, really. Maybe Donald will put a bid in for Togo?

Another Hurghada holiday from hell. Sad.

Little effect. Most Africans would not even know what VoA is, let alone tune in.

Different fault. Different outcome.

Is that really relevant right now?

Not as easy as you think but agree about the shouting bit.

So you got f'n nothing then.

It is, literally. Geologically at much less risk of seismic activity than areas north and west of it.

Prove it so and I will retract.

So droll.

Damn! One more badge than I had in the cubs.

Absolute nonsense.

Before you get too far along with the Suez Canal, you might want to read about the expansion and outcomes of the Arab/Muslim caliphates invading and occupying much of in Europe from 711. Oh, and not just the nicer bits.

Hello, Mr. Cynical. Agree. How have you been??

All wrong. Detention Saturday.
