    No I'm not American, and I'm not parroting what he says.

    But I do come from a country which stood up to unfair policies and did something about it.

    He's standing up to a massive trade deficit, instead of the left who pulled their pants down, bent over and said help yourselves.

    Do you have any understanding of what a trade deficit means? And if you're going to look it up, instead of simply believing whatever Trump says, please include services. That might help your understanding

    So far almost 70 countries have asked to come to the negotiating table and talk about trading and tariffs.

    So maybe not so idiotic.. 

    Bidens policy of allowing USA to be shafted wasn't so great

    Good to see people like you are simply parroting whatever that guy Trump says. Are you American by any chance?

    Well, the guy apparently won a golf tournament, while he could have paid respect to the four American servicemen who lost their lives in Lithuania.

    But who gives a <deleted>, certainly not Americans.

    Domestic tourism may be hit more, those businesses who predominately export to USA may find revenues slump as State-side stop buying.

    The people in SE Asian countries, and China, are far more resilient to economic hardship than Americans. 

    When Trump's  idiotic economic policies have fully worked out, the whining from Americans will be deafening.

    Peter Huber, Werner Abegglen, Walter Meier. Leander Zurbriggen. That would be typical swiss name.

     

    I did google the name, as I never heard somebody called like that in Switzerland. I found somebody (maybe even him) living in Switzerland. But the name is persian. One of the many refugees that got a Swiss Passport after some years. 

     

    It's not common for this immigrants to act like original Swiss people. Because of the mass of immigrants in Switzerland its more the other way around. We, as a nation, start to act like our immigrants. And that does not better our behaviour unfortunately. 

    You only mention 'German' sounding Swiss names. As far as I know Switzerland has four different language regions, so probably four different 'typical' Swiss names.

    I'm from the Netherlands, and I have a name that looks like it's from Spain or Portugal. And my family tree goes back at least 250 years in the Netherlands. Imagine how the reactions would be from the usual xenophobes on this forum if I ever appeared in Thai news.

    So someone's name is basically totally irrelevant, that's my point.

    No it isn't there was no reality there. Anyway back to the feel good affairs of Grandpa. ATCMs and now land mines. Nobel peace prize forthcoming.

    Thanks for changing the subject, as expected.

     

    My father taught me, if you do something, do it good.

    Biden has been a disaster in foreign policy. He is too slow, too scared.

    And allows Netanyahu to put the middle finger to him every single day, while being complicit in genocide and war crimes.

    If Biden really wanted to help Ukraine against the illegal invasion of Russia, he should have acted quickly and decisively. He is not capable of that. That's Biden's legacy.

     

    Besides, by his weakness and incompetence, handing over the presidency to a vile person like Trump.

    Fox is smart to use attractive people for its productions. Trump is also appointing people while maybe not good looking work well on TV. Kamala tried to show of her body in skin tight grandma jeans and people didn't want to tap dat. Must be the lizard skin neck.

     

    Kennedy beat Nixon in the debate based on looks etc. 

    I'm not disputing that America's so-called 'democracy' is going the way of a never ending reality tv show.

    that point on the top of your head is growing...

    Your messiah Biden and those controlling the decomposing mess of his rotten brain are more concerned about the grift and keeping it alive, funding the war machine rather than stopping the war, engaging in peace talks to end the carnage and saving lives. Why else do they refuse peace talks but squander your tax dollars to compensate the grifter Zelenskyy! Trump is on track to sort this, putin and his BRICS colleagues are laughing at the stupid American war machine responsible for a million or more casualties. It's over when Trump says so. He has said as much.

    So I have to suggest you again, stay off the Khao Lao? Your ranting is not getting any better, is it?

    Defining who is winning is open to various interpretations. 

     

    Yes they have taken 100,000km2 of territory. Most of whose cities  are evacuated, infrastructure rubbled and farmlands laid waste.

     

    They have Crimea - perhaps the original "Causus Belli" - Sevastopol as a base for their Black Sea Fleet; but much of that Black Sea Fleet is at the bottom of the Black Sea. The peninsulas communications are dependent on one bridge, which Ukraine has demonstrated it can cut when it wants. The much vaunted Russian Army, touted as superior to NATO and almost on a par with the US is trashed, and they have paid an enormous price in casualties, ever more difficult to replace. They failed to contain the Ukrainian move into Kirsk, and are relying on hiring in troops from North Korea to defend Mother Russia! Their economy is boogered.

     

    Ukraine, battered, is still standing, still fighting and still hurting Russia, and shows no sign of failing. Ukraine's closest political and geographical allies, are showing greatly increased determination to stand up to Russia, are doing so through the auspices of a somewhat reinvigorated NATO alliance, which is waking up to the fact that it is probably going to have to manage without the US.

     

    The US military may well rapidly lose potency under the inspired leadership of a Fox News presenter, and with large swathes of it's command structure possibly facing dismissal or Courts Martial! Certainly no-one is going to rely on them!

     

    So when you are considering winning and losing, you need to consider more than battle maps.

    I'd say you're right, but where is that claim of 100.000 km2 coming from? Since February 2022 of course.
