I did (think again) and find the exact same answer through a lifetime of seeing American failure after failure after failure to impose its view of the world upon one 3rd world country after another. It's only just over 12 months since the shameful retreat from Afghanistan after 20 years of showing the Taliban and company the values of the Western way of life. You'd think someone in Washington would, after all these failures, "think again".

Precisely the one thing that will guarantee the war will go on and on. Who benefits from this war supported by the American taxpayer to the tune of (at least) $39 billion? The main beneficiaries clearly (see their stock price increases through this year) are Northrop Grumann Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and other such armament manufacturers. It has been ever thus, via Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and all similar countries who failed in some way to toe the Western political line.

The absence of a nincompoop like Biden from this or any other conference worldwide is a matter for celebration. If he attended the meeting he would probably assume that Prayut was a Christian with a name like that. But fear not, he is sending the brilliant VICE president to do the heavy lifting, the woman who just this week referred to the Republic of NORTH Korea as having been in an alliance with the US since 1953. She uttered these breathtaking words at the DMZ, which, one would think, might have helped her to distinguish between North and South.

I'd have to agree that Sterling plays much better when he is on the right.....

Am I Am I the only one who thinks that the phrase "hit the ground running" is the worst cliché ever imposed on the English language and that it should be banned as a form of hate-speech upon said language? Needless to say, it is most frequently used by losers about to take over some job previously occupied by yet another loser.....
