If sanctions are off, then China would no doubt do construction for oil / minerals / regional influence. And if Iran keeps away from enrichment which in this new era they have no need to then they can rebuild their military and missiles without interference from the US. And if Israel decides to attack under these circumstances, then the world will let Iran deal with it the way they just have. It's checkmate to Israeli hegemony in the region and a stunning turnaround in fortunes. Iran, like China, thinks in decades; they have resilience and patience. Obama's deal kept them in a cage- Trump's deal has both unleashed them and negated the need for a nuke for which Trump is fixated on. there is more to the world than western capital and the dollar now.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:41:02 +0000quote They said, “If you go there and build your plant there, we’re not going to charge you anything. I mean, you can do whatever you want.” They said, “I don’t like that.” And lo and behold, I see they went and they built the plant and now they do their business with India. They probably do it outside of India too, plenty. They built a very big plant. Many countries, they do that and then all of a sudden you hear that they’re leaving Milwaukee or they’re leaving wherever they may be located. It’s very sad to see it, and it’s so simple. I mean, this isn’t like Elon with his rocket ships that land within 12 inches on the moon where they want it to land or he gets the engines back. That was the first I realized. I said, “Who the hell did that?” I saw engines about the four years ago. These things were coming cylinders, no wings, no nothing, and they’re coming down very slowly, landing on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a circle. Boom. Reminded me of the Biden circles that he used to have, right? He’d have eight circles and he couldn’t fill them up. But then I heard he beat us with the popular vote. I don’t know. I don’t know. Couldn’t fill up the eight circles. I always loved those circles. They were so beautiful. They were so beautiful to look at. In fact, the person that did them, that was the best thing about his… the level of that circle was great, but they couldn’t get people. So they used to have the press stand in those circles because they couldn’t get the people. Then I heard we lost. Oh, we lost. No, we’re never going to let that happen again. But we’ve been abused by other countries. We’ve been abused by our own politicians, really more than other countries. I can’t blame them. We’ve been abused by people that represent us in this country. endquoteThu, 18 Jun 2026 12:39:42 +0000Truth Hurts Nan figures dont lie. Not keen on being outed are you ?. Iv'e got an Idea for you and your other 2 friends why don't you post on the threads instead of trying to disrupt them. It's not hard. Do you take on Board what Ruport Lowe is telling you or why does GB news have the highest viewing figures.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:39:40 +0000In the UK they are running segments during World Cup matches with reminders to pay the BBC licence fee with QR codes to help you to pay. That's what someone told me anyway. People are sick of being gaslit / lied to by people with posh accents (usaually of colour if it's BBC News). It might be happening https://x.com/karma44921039/status/2066991148959240438Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:39:18 +0000Well...."Tourist 2" ...hmmm that's a new one . Welcome to the insane asylum. Thanks for the O.Benjamin link . I'm only ten minutes in to the "gambling" video, but looks encouraging. Of course, more than a few have caught my attention in the past ( i rarely search much anymore, as inevitably the click here to subscribe pleas increase as the uniqueness wears off ) . What got me to this (my) post right now is Owen's comment on his fond memories of the natural beauty which can be found when traveling around the great ole u.s. of a. And travel around i did, on cycle and in an old van . Rumak and his dog Mutley. Lake Tahoe and Russian River and Lake Travis (naked waterskiing one time ! ) and Austin when it was a one horse town and New Orleans and trips through the desert and passing through Winslow AZ when the song (Take it Easy) actually came on as i was driving , and cycle trip down from SF to LA to see someone i bumped into (literally) on a small beach outside of Puerta Vallarta (ok, not USA 55) . And riding the first mountain bikes up Mt. Tam in Marin County back in 1975 . I'll tell ya..... though it all is a distant memory.... those freestyle days/years really did allow me a FREEDOM of adventure (and misadventure) which i can always feel : i have lived a full life. And I saw the natural beauty of america, before technology arrived to take all the risk and uniqueness away from being "on the road". Of course.... Thailand (moving here at 36 ) ... opened up whole new chapters of "amazing" . Sorry........... rumak gets carried away sometimes ! Onward ..... through the fogThu, 18 Jun 2026 12:38:54 +0000I don't believe there is "heaven" or "hell" necessarily. It's more complex and nuanced than that. Human beings are responsible for their actions, animals are not subjected to this. I didn't say animals are "denied" anything. I really don't know, but I don't think animals have the same pathway as humans in The Great Beyond.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:38:46 +0000We’re going to have to disagree. If you’ve read my posts, you’ll know I apply the test of goodness to religion. Would it be good or bad to deny the soul of animal that loved you unconditionally to enter heaven with you. Clearly, it would be bad. A true god (and that as sure as hell is not a Christian, Jewish or Islam god) would be good and therefore animals would go to the afterlife.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:35:35 +0000You must be very Naive if you belive that this is to be private funded ! bet you belive the Ballroom is free the only spanking that has been done is by iran they kicked trumps arse !Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:32:14 +0000Well you have to admit your threads are all a bit flimsy. I mean GBNews is best because someone who works there has Trump on speed dial? Honestly? Now off you go, back down your rabbit hole. Rupert is waiting for his reacharound.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:31:15 +0000I thought that more akin to basketball, there being an upper goal in the form of a hoop.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:30:12 +0000You said it, you did 😆Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:29:48 +0000TranslatingThu, 18 Jun 2026 12:29:48 +0000That's a tough one. You often see foreign muppets lurking around Pattaya that look like cavemen and they appear to be in search of a woolly mammoth. So I wonder where that places them on the spectrum?Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:26:07 +0000Correction. For taxable in Mexico income (private pensions, withdraws from IRAs, etc.) refer to this chart: So as you can the entire amount of the income isn't taxed. It's the basic as shown plus the rate for overage. Also for US people you can credit the Mexican tax paid on your US return. ax Bracket OverviewTaxable Income (MXN) Basic Tax (MXN) Tax on Excess (%) 0.01 - 10,135.11 0 1.92 10,135.12 - 20,000 194.00 6.40 20,000.01 - 35,000 1,194.00 10.88 35,000.01 - 50,000 2,194.00 16.00 50,000.01 - 75,000 3,694.00 17.92 75,000.01 - 100,000 5,194.00 21.36 100,000.01 - 150,000 7,194.00 23.52 150,000.01 - 200,000 10,194.00 30.00 200,000.01 - 1,000,000 15,194.00 32.00 1,000,000.01 - 5,107,703.93 30,194.00 34.00 Above 5,107,703.93 1,601,862.46 35.00 Example. So you withdrew 14K USD from your IRA account. That's currently about 243K Pesos. So the Mexican tax on that would be 15,194.00 plus 32 percent of 43K pesos. Roughly 1650 USD. So not horrible.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:25:47 +0000Yes. But, just think how many billions of NON-fans were absent from the stadium. But, as I said, I am able to tolerate cricket quite easily. It is only football and basketball that I detest.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:25:22 +0000I'm not sure that's how the traffic code is applied. Imagine the chaos at unmarked intersections with drivers stepping out of their vehicles to check license validity and insurance and registration to decide who has right of way!Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:24:38 +0000If you bothered to listen and read youravin you see the headline Asylum Seeker aka they are both Seeking to stay in the UK, now crawl back into the darkness with yur friend JB. Youravin, and come out when your ready to cause trouble. You do that then dissapear again for a few weeks till you spot a thread you can pull apart.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:24:13 +0000I see nothing wrong with the wealthy minority, except for Beethoven, who was an evil and dislikable man, despite his sublime music. It is the wealthy leisure class that have been responsible for many valuable advancements, throughout history. Also, football, in its gargantuan form, is a moder monstrosity. I have no problems with the Aztecs playing football, back in the day. But, the way it is glorified now is obscene. There is no longer any logical perspective.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:23:37 +0000No, human beings are subjected to laws of karma and have a lot more freedom to exercise free will, for good or bad. Animals are pre-programmed with only instincts and limited in what they can do. A house pet can't run a crypto scam or online dating scam.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:22:14 +0000I don't do appropriate. I do the right thing. He can convince her. Are you saying you wouldn't even try? It's like sex, no means no? I'm sure he's seen all of her, from stem to stern, in sickness and in health. No issue.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:22:08 +0000What small countrys has the "US snuff out smaller countries it wishes to control" ??? Strange Post !! The USA has never won nor crushed or Snuff out a counrty since Pannama since then it has had its arse kicked !! the USA used to be a superpower but that is way in the past !! i have no idea how you think the USA can kick arse !!Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:21:14 +0000
