America is a dictatorship....most of the country is just failing to realise it. He has the highest court, he has the GOP, he has the DHS, he has a fair chunk of the Dems, and he has the military! America is lost, as per Khurushevs prediction from 1956.

They will be on the front lines soon enough.....much to their surprise I am sure.

I cannot even begin to really comprehend what this is like for you and everyone in Ukraine. You will get through this, of that I am sure. Just be sure not to lose yourself. 🙏

Yes indeed. Europe is still expecting Trump to undergo a complete and total character transformation and come to their aid.... The naivety of the European leaders in this regard is truly astounding.

A case in point was with the Australian govt a few years back (Howard I think), renegade on an election promise, and the response when called out on it was that it was a "non-core promise".....🤪
comment in response to post
Many are stupid, that is certain. But I think you will find the majority are just gullible. They desperately want/need to believe the bullshit they are promised and vote accordingly. And he who bullshits best usually wins, and by the time the people realise...well it's far too late.

I think it is way beyond just a risk, Mats. Either the mid term's won't happen at all, or if they do, they outcome will be predetermined. And at this point, there is nothing the decent people of America can do to stop it. Because they still think he won't dare go that far...

Then just make a fucking G6 statement!! You seem to have made other decisions without the Mango fucktard being present.

Just had the thought that someone need to recreate this meme with Donald's face and the tag line "Not so deep Vlad...I am destroying America as fast as I can"

In the late 70s, china's economy was reliant on the export of plastic toy soldiers... But now we cannot survive without them.... Time to turn back the clock methinks.

Yeah. That he has issues is undeniable, but a poster child for autism .... Yeah, I think not.

I think Australia has fairly good reserves as well, which could help with this.

They extended the sanctions, which means they would have had a meeting to consider whether they would extend them or not. See the problem?

Had to rush back to finish taking over California.

As you should! Have 2 boys at different levels on the spectrum, and would not change either of them for anything in the world.

I am a veteran drinker, but even my consumption is up considerably. At this juncture, with the world the way it is, I am really not caring if my liver gives out as a result...🤪
comment in response to post
And this is a big part of the problem. WE ELECT THE ABSOLUTE WORST OF US TO LEAD! The Mango Muppet, Orban, Fico, etc, are the most obvious and extreme examples of this, but ultimately, all politicians are cut from the same cloth.
comment in response to post
Australia has its hand in it too I believe. Apparently buying fuel from India made from refined cheap ruzzian oil. Though I can't confirm this.
comment in response to post
That's pretty dark, mate.😒 But given everything, this level of cynicism is no surprise.
comment in response to post
You happy yet Europe? Despite your constant chatter about your "steadfast support" for Ukraine, you are complicit in this a wanton murder and destruction. Every drop of oil, puff of gas that you buy from ruzzia, and every european component in their missiles,contributes to this. Are you proud?🤬
comment in response to post
All the way. There is only one way for the decent people of America to end this....but they will not do it...because they are decent. And therefore he will get everything he wants.
comment in response to post
Indeed. Am certainly no fan of China, but at this juncture...they are the preferable option.
comment in response to post
Yeah, my son was over in LA for comicon earlier this year... Absolutely no way I would let him go now given the high chance of never seeing him again. Dunno what tourism is worth to the USA, but it is going to go down the shitter regardless of the world cup and Olympics.
comment in response to post
Yeah, Lada must be struggling to keep up with demand....or do the widows only get a sack of spuds these days?(though a sack of spuds is likely more valuable than a Lada anyways)
comment in response to post
From the outside looking in, I reckon that's coming regardless. The Mango Muppet is creating the perfect environment to enable the insurrection act...LA is just the beginning I fear.
comment in response to post
Needs to bring Washington and Oregon along for the ride.... The entire Western seaboard declaring themselves a new nation would be fucking awesome!
comment in response to post
Between the 3 of them, the "transnistria problem" could be removed quite quickly...and there would be fuck all ruzzia could do about it. So just get it done....
comment in response to post
Yeah, there have been enough cases now to show that even the correct documentation is no guarantee that you won't be detained...even if only for a short time.
comment in response to post
Sorta removes any remaining doubt as to which side america is now on. Expect an announcement that they are leaving NATO and joining brics soon. ...
comment in response to post
The fact that this is requiring a petition at all buggers belief! This is a no brainer for the UK government, and they should be on a train the instant they are decommissioned.
comment in response to post
More like... "China supports ruzzia via their vessel state of North Korea"
comment in response to post
I see 2 probable reasons for still not supplying Taurus. 1. They are not as good as the hype makes them out to be. 2. Germany does not want to piss Putin off too much because they want to get the cheap oil and gas back after this is all finished. Option 2 is the most likely methinks.
comment in response to post
About damn time! Just a further example of why nobody should be buying American weapons. They won't let you use it, or send it where it's needed even though you theoretically own it.
comment in response to post
Yeah, my bad. Was well into my "cups" by that time.... Though not really an excuse for getting your own history wrong....🫣
comment in response to post
So, intensify the pressure, but at the same time, ease the pressure by still having your member nations purchase ruzzian gas and oil. Everyone is looking at what you say....and then what you do and are going... WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?
comment in response to post
Yeah, as much as you and I (and many others) think this is traitorous behaviour...those responsible only see the $$$ The fact that this contributes to ruzzia killing innocent people does not even factor into their thinking...only the $ matter.
comment in response to post
That is terribly disappointing to hear especially as a Kiwi, given NZ is named after a Danish province. Denmark should be blockading the Baltic to any and all ruzzian ships....and UNCLOS be buggered!
comment in response to post
Does it specifically state oil tankers only? What about gas? I read that a ruzzian gas ship docked in France recently, so I will assume they are still supplying Germany as well.
