Well, one of the morons could decide to launch a nuclear weapon with the thought that "the commoners" don't matter, and hell, the elite have government built nuclear bunkers. Maybe.

They both may be a dumb as a box of rocks, but one's a billionaire and the other is the US VP and probably on the road to the US presidency. Vance graduated from Ohio State summa cum laude before attending Yale. And you? OP - how have you distinguish yourself other than being a progressive liberal expat Trump-hater whose only recourse to the Trump victory gaining the US presidency and sea-change in the US political landscape is to posit the opinion that Trump and Vance have low IQ? Nice - so you broke out your copy of Rules For Radicals. Let's see, here it is, Rule 5. 5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage." Nice try Einstein!

Really, how do you take a guy who plays the piano with his d**k seriously?

That's a wee bit date: January 22-23, 2020 WEF meeting in Davos.

From the time the authorities said, "Nothing to see hear," you can bet that there is "Something to see there."

Let me summarize: * Uyghurs come to Thailand as asylum seekers. * Thailand doesn't accept asylum seekers. * Uyghurs become "guests" of Thailand while in asylum limbo. * The International community knows of the Uyghurs refugees plight, and criticizes Thailand. * None of the nations criticizing Thailand offers to grant the Uyghurs asylum. * Uyghurs write letters to the UN and International organizations. * The International community knows of the Uyghurs refugees plight, and continues to criticizes Thailand. * Still none of the nations criticizing Thailand offers to grant the Uyghurs asylum. * Thailand finally deports/repatriates Uyghurs because - they don't accept asylum seekers. * Members of the International community melt down and continue to criticize Thailand while ignoring that their own countries never offered them asylum. * The US and Japan warn ex-pat citizens of potential violent repercussions for the Uyghur repatriation. 🤔 Inquiring minds wonder why the US or Japan didn't offer the Uyghurs asylum and "lead by example." 🤔 Inquiring minds think it has to do with NIMBY. (Not In My Back Yard) "National Security Risk!" * Thailand becomes the focus of unending criticism.

Then it's no wonder that the season season of Taboo never gets made. 🤔

It's interesting to see where the Russia-hating Right meets the Russia-hating Left. Russian-Hating Left 👉 "Is Trump a Russian Asset, Controlled by Putin" 👈 Russia-Hating Right Yes! Yes!

So it's easy to understand why Thailand doesn't want to keep Uyghur "asylum seekers." Violence follows. And why would anyone would want to seek asylum in a country that makes it know internationally that it doesn't want "asylum seekers."

It's good to know that the European "elite" know how to copy and paste. However, originality seems to be a bridge too far. Well, can't accuse them of being the sharpest tacks in the box, just the most vile.

But but but - you conveniently left off the part about the New and Improved Ukraine ala F***-The-EU Nuland which began killing the Russian speakers in the Donbass. Hell, even CNN got it right in 2014.

Is that you Grok 3?

Trump patted him on the head, gave him a biscuit, and showed him the door.

As did Ben Sanderson.

I don't distract myself, Au-contraire, I focus inward and watch the reality of consciousness unfold. Hence, I've no angst.

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.

Good. It's time to clean up the US corruption.

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.
