I think you're the first person outside of (suppressed) Iran I've seen defending that animal Soleimani. Well, apart from Jeremy Corbyn that is...

 

Can you please answer my question.

Drone strike also killed top Iraqi military commander. A clear act of war.

I’m not defending Suleymani at all.

Even Trump's favorite pollster, Rasmussen, recorded a sharp drop in Trump's favorable-unfavorable numbers after the assassination: from 50-50 to 46-53.

I admire your brevity! I guess you want me to spam this forum with 100's of articles! Do not be emotional, just read and try to understand situations with an OPEN mind. Tunnel vision can be very unhealthy!

Kindly, dont bother to answer this post and I will end it as I dont want to post nonsense repeatedly and bore other readers. Have a pleasant evening, you need it!

 

Wait, you make a ridiculous claim about the us being the reason behind the majority world's suffering, can't back it up with any real evidence, then you lecture me about understanding and an open mind. 

 

The hypocrisy is overwhelming

Same trend for Rassmussen (53-46) and MSN (51-45) daily polls.

Actually, UK gets most of its oil from Norway but any slow down in the oil coming out of the Middle East will obviously make this more expensive (basic supply & demand) so price of goods/Inflation will go up (on top of any increases caused by uncertainties around Brexit), which would force the BOE to raise interest rates so GBP may even rise. 

 

 

I didn't realise that, so I Googled it and came up with this link.

Published by Ian Tiseo, Sep 16, 2019
 This statistic shows the main origin countries of crude oil and natural gas imports to the United Kingdom (UK) in 2018. Norway was the main source of both crude oil and natural gas for the United Kingdom with Algeria and Nigeria also having played significant roles.
In 2018, the United Kingdom imported approximately 46 million metric tons of crude oil and natural gas, and exported approximately 43 million metric tons of the same. As an exporter, the United Kingdom exported more crude oil to the Netherlands than any other country, exporting a combined total of 19.3 million metric tons from 2014 to 2015. Norway also appears on the list of export destinations, receiving 49,000 metric tons of crude oil from the United Kingdom in 2016.

The first figure on the list plus margin error. It is a bit confusing.

Another deflection? Really?

 

Since May 2019 here are some links for you to look at and ignore. You will probably ignore them and condemn them as fake news which is what your idol, Trump, would want you to do.

It's not what I see. If you click on the endpoint of the line you get the exact figure. However I do see 54% who support removing Trump from office. ????

If prices rise too much it will likely induce a global economic crisis and the US economy is not isolated from the rest of the world.

The economy has already been shaken by the tariffs war and does not need an oil crisis.

the Paris climate agreement will ruin a countries economy and with the UK leaving the EU the new tax the will be imposed on EU countries should put a healthy strain on growth... As history has shown, go socialist, go poor, go hungry, and then go to the death camps...

This is not a thread about socialism vs capitalism but i will ask yourself this,

 if democratic socialism is so bad why are the democratically socialist Nordic countries considered the best countries to live in? 

[JHolmesJr]

Much against the hopes of the rand anti trumpers here, the Prez displayed common sense, compassion, tough love

and most of all, restraint.....as he gave Iran a reprieve while reserving his rights.

Another poll bites the dust.

Only the media is increasingly critical of President Trump. And there will be a Trump in the While House for at least the next 5 years... I'm thinking more likely his son will be the President after him. To answer your question.. the PM of one Nordic country stated, "we are not democratic socialists" ... so you've got your facts wrong.
