Angst of being outdated and redundant: How do you cope?
connda replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I don't distract myself, Au-contraire, I focus inward and watch the reality of consciousness unfold. Hence, I've no angst. -
Did Trump bring shame upon the US with his Zelensky lecture?
connda replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
Are you that stupid? Must be. I'm anti-war. And unlike you I'm a US veteran with 8 years of service. Back when the Soviets were actually a threat. Russian today is not a threat. But you're another Russian hater so don't miss your chances to go kill Ivan for your God Zelensky. Here's your chance Adolf. Go push the Ruskies back to Moscow. -

But no. These people who complain the loudest and hate Russians the most just want to sit in their computer chairs here in Thailand, drink beer, and urge Western politician to send Ukrainian, European, British, and America men to go fight in Ukraine. Send everyone else kids and grandkids except their own or themselves. These people are all hot-air and cowardliness. The only people who need to feel shame are these hate-filled, pro-war, wind-bags. -

As far as I'm concerned every member on this forum who hates Russians and wants war needs to get off their butts, sign up to go to Ukraine, and put their butts where their mouths are - on the Ukrainian Eastern Front. Go get a rifle and kit and go kill Russians for your hero Zelensky. Here, let me help ya'll on your way. There you go. Go show Putin whose boss! -

"'All Ukraine war supporters should give up citizenship and go fight in Ukraine. Starting with the politicians'" -Australian Senator Babet I agree 100%. -

Scott Jennings during a CNN segment. "All Zelensky needed to do was to wear a tie, show up, smile, express gratitude, sign the necessary documents, and have lunch." That's about right. Instead we have the war-mongers on the Left screaming about how Trump disrespected the Ukrainian comedian in green-black fatigues. Well, it seems we will have to have a disagreement about who disrespected whom. And as Trump stated, Zelensky has no cards to play. Trump and the US hold all the cards. Zelensky is just a moron. -

Yeah - the Left I know was Anti-War. The Left of today are War-Hawk maniacs. They want the world in flames. Well, as long as they don't have to fight the wars themselves. They want everyone else to do the fighting and dying. Just not them. -

Did Trump bring shame upon the US with his Zelensky lecture? Nope. He put Zelensky and Europe on notice: Stop the war and work on peace. But if you want war - you're on your own, the US isn't footing the bill any longer. Of course, the progressive Left and Democrats are now war-loving war-mongers and haters of all Russians. Which I find amazing because those are the same people I marched with in anti-Vietnam war marches in the 60s and 70s. Then you wonder why so many actual old school liberal Democrats are now anti-war conservatives. Btw, Zelensky is an embarrassment. I'm sorry, but protocol and decorum of heads of states require players to dress respectfully in business attire and conduct themselves with discipline. You don't walk into the President to the United States Oval Office in mock-up of army fatigues and then begin to argue with the President and his staff and make demands. He got what he asked for: A beat down. I'd give him 60 days or less and then he'll either be out of office or dead. Probably the latter. -
Would this offend you? No. Why react to something that is meant to trigger you. You get offended? Success!

Bottom line: FAFO. Now that he has "F***ed Around", Zelensky is about to "Find Out." He should of shown some humility, respect, and signed the mineral deal with a smile. Instead? He's coddled and pampered by the Europeans and UK elites who viscerally hate Russia and Russians, who want to see Russia's demise, and who want war until the last Ukrainian fighting man as well as their own troops are dead. So now the Trump administration called him out. He wants to continue the war. Ok. So he and Europe and the UK can throw money and men into Ukraine's Eastern Front meat-grinder until there is nothing left. Scream "Article 5" until they are blue in the face. The US is done with this. Zelensky should take the hint, retire, and move to his favorite European abode. However, I doubt he will and I doubt he'll be still sucking air when the first flowers bloom in Ukraine.

Yeah, if you can't even make a deal with the United States, then there is no chance that you will ever make a peace deal with Russia. To use a poker analogy, Zelensky raised the stakes and Trump called his bluff. Now like the guy in Vegas who has maxed out his credit cards, mortgaged his house, and wagered his kid's university tuition by dropping the entire sum on three Aces to Trumps full-house, about the only thing left is to take a long walk off a pier and allow someone with the ability to deal for Ukraine's future to fill his shoes. Zee is done. I'm afraid he just committed suicide although, as in the movie The Sixth Sense, he doesn't realize he's already dead.

Now even uber-war-hawk Lindsey Graham weights in with: 'Zelenskyy either needs to resign or he needs to change' I'm thinking that Zelensky is about to have his Green Mile moment ala Ceaușescu. "Dead-man walking!" Zee. You just f***ed the wrong guys. See ya, wouldn't wanna be yeah.
-
Opps!!! Guess not. And then the Oval Office visit went South in a hurry!
-
When Lindsey Graham turns on you, you're days are numbered. 'Zelenskyy either needs to resign or he needs to change'
-
Yeah - Putin too. Putin's been dying for the last three year. No doubt Trump will be "unwell" as long as he's in office. Xi too. Like was said above. Go to bed.

The Controversy Over Islamophobia and Grooming Gang Investigations
connda replied to Social Media's topic in World News
That fact that there is push-back by the UK government on dismantling grooming gangs engaged in the rape of UK girls tells you everything you need to know about the UK. In a civilized country rape is considered abhorrent. But now in the UK. Rape is a protected act by government authorities under the cover of protecting so-called religious minorities. -

Thai Victim Hunts for Foreign Hit-and-Run Motorcyclist
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Thai guy was not making a U-Turn. He was making a right-hand turn from the left-lane of a dual carriage-way. Basically got hit from a driver behind him driving on the wrong side of the road. -
Thai Victim Hunts for Foreign Hit-and-Run Motorcyclist
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Here's the video. Scroll down and it's in the comments. https://www.facebook.com/NewshawkPhuket/posts/pfbid0bihVGS4hHvujRy7uetbznY2Z5LTxCUTukMFa7edTs9tpwjPX51cP699Wz3Nxy2qSl I'm assuming that the guy in the white shirt is the foreigner and the guy in the helmet is the Thai. The guy in the white shirt was driving on the wrong side of the road (right-hand lane) and T-boned the motorcycle making the turn - traffic should be coming at you in the right-hand land, not from behind you. Yep - dude driving in the wrong lane is 100% at fault. Hope they find him.
