If the US keeps interfering in other countries affairs with UK keep licking it's backside IMHO it's going a money weapon war we seen that already with grain, coal, oil and gas. Iran, Russia, Turkey and China are already making plans of dumping the US dollar, it wouldn't take much for India and Pakistan to join in on that at sometime in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LaosLover Posted August 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) I've been hearing about the imminent dumping of the dollar for 50 years, and yet..... For laughs, please outline how China wins anything -trade war, shooting war, the oscars at all against America. Not in 100 years, the usual dodge I hear, but today. And where do they put that money instead, given America's low risk and relatively high yields? Wow, Iran AND Russia dumping their dollars - not even the economic equivalent of a single mid-sized municipality default in the US. Iran,Turkey, Russia, and China all secretly in bed together in a concerted effort -how? Is there any event in human history even remotely in this ballpark? Please tell us, Mr Bond, how YOU are privy to this, but no major media outlet is. People like you hoping for an end to American hegemony are basically turkeys voting (in vain) for Christmas. What political party in the UK will be the ones to finally stop licking our backsides? Do you want an end to the special relationship? What % of brits do? In the US we have much esteem for the UK army. Can you find any quotes from the UK Military who want a divorce from America? And if China does uproot the world, who do they sell all those Mr Coffee coffeemakers to? You gotta be a genius to blow up the place that puts the lo mein on your table.

LaosLover Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Putin is the dog who caught the car. He thought the Ukranians would just fold. As my dad told me about bar fights: Don't let you mouth write a check you KNOW your you-know-what can't cash. It's a major US intelligence failure not to have known how bad the Russian Army was, but the cat is sure out of the bad now. And this catastrophe has put the Chinese on the back foot, arial displays aside. The USA will back you if you want to fight. If I'm a Uyghur, I'm listening hard. Sweden and Finland now in Nato, forced to be China's uh, female dog, economy wrecked, giant outflow of the young and skilled. To do any worse, his name would have to be Bush.

GinBoy2 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Russia isn't the issue, China is. The Europeans with their misplaced idea that engaging with Russia and becoming wholly dependent on them for energy has spectacularly backfired. We collectively figured that when China joined the WTO it would end up looking more like Hong Kong. Bad Bet, lets see how thats turned out Now we rely on China for most of our manufactured goods. Worst of all semiconductors, ie chips. I worked in the industry for most of my working life and saw manufacturing move from the the US and Europe to Asia, in particular Taiwan. Few of you understand how much of leading edge chips are produced by one single company TSMC in Taiwan. They may well be designed in the US but manufactured by TSMC's foundry. Forget worrying about Russia which is a faded empire and worry more about China 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is you have lost the plot. The US military might have Biden as the Head of the country, but he is far from running the military operations, this is done through the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs of staff. Biden may think he has the final authority to defend the US and move troops around, but in reality he is just a puppet figure. Your mischaracterization of the military, in your view being weak because they are LGBT, shows a homophobic view. Do you really believe that those serving are weak because they are LGBT? if so you are in for a big surprise. Putins false information campaign is the only reason he is popular, but he is looking at a growing angst against his campaign in the Ukraine. http://www.thelowdownblog.com/2022/06/why-russian-sentiment-towards-war-is.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Russia is a one trick pony, unfortunately a rather large pony because of natural gas and the stupidity of the Europeans, in particular Merkels Germany, Natural Gas is 2% of their fossil fuel exports, they can cut it off and not blink, Merkel thought that dependance on Russian gas would bring the Kremlin closer, in fact all it did was turn Germany in into a Russian cuckold, and the chickens are now coming home to roost. The best we can hope for is that Russia calls it quits before the winter, but I wouldn't be betting my next paycheck on that, so the Europeans better be buckling up 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozimoron Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Hiroshima's mayor slams Russia while marking 77th anniversary of atomic bombing Japan is today marking the 77th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which killed tens of thousands of people in World War II. Hiroshima mayor Kazumi Matsui, whose city this year did not invite the Russian ambassador to the ceremony, was more pointed and critical of Moscow's military actions in Ukraine. "In invading Ukraine, the Russian leader, elected to protect the lives and property of his people, is using them as instruments of war, stealing the lives and livelihoods of civilians in a different country," Mr Matsui said. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-06/hiroshima-anniversary-atomic-bombing-russia/101307694 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GammaGlobulin Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 WW3 is always a possibility, every minute of the day, 24/7. This is the way it has been since before you were born. What more do you need to know? Need to know more? Sometimes, I must laugh. Because, young people, ages 30 to 50, always ask, the same questions: Is there such a thing as reality? Yes. In fact, there IS such a thing as REALITY, and reality does exist. There are physical consequences which are governed by Physics. This is NOT a Joke. Only in several countries, do people think that Chomsky is a joke. Anyway, it ups to you to have your opinion. Ups to you!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammaGlobulin Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Sometimes, in Pattaya, the girls always say, "I don't care about World War Three. I just want to die in the arms of my lover from America." And, maybe they soon will. Logically speaking, these Pattaya bar girls and hookers are behaving more logically than the rest of us. At the very least, when the world ends, a significant number of them will die in the arms of their beloveds. So much happier than the rest of us.

GammaGlobulin Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Re WW3: "The lucky ones will be those who die more quickly." This is not a joke. Chomsky stated this. He is correct. Therefore, if you do not like the PREPPER people, then, at least, you know that they will be the ones to have it most difficult when WW3 breaks out. The preppers will be the last to die, and, consequently, they will be the ones to suffer most. And, in my humble opinion, it is the preppers who DESERVE to suffer most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working in a salt mine has always been seen as associated with slave labor. Therefore, let the preppers go underground, and may they work like Roman slaves in the salt mines. Each to his own. Although I do not understand their logic, yet I welcome even the thought of it.

We all die, and perhaps the human race will all die at the same time, but what will be will be and there's absolutely nothing any of us on here can do to change it. If not the bomb, pollution or overpopulation or war over water etc. Sooner or later humanity is doomed, IMO. It won't be the end of the world as the planet will just start over with another dominant species. Rinse and repeat till the sun expands and consumes the planets before dying.
