Aaah, the secret of making america great again.... Is to get another country to start a war and sit on the sidelines making money from it. Your multiple choice question:- Until Japan attacked and Hitler directly involved the USA, did the USA.... a) Send troops to assist UK etc (as the UK did in Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan) b) Provide free equipment to assist the UK c) Provide largely old equipment in return for worldwide bases, or money that the UK didn't have so had to borrow and spent decades paying back? i.e. So until their hand was forced, USA made profits from the blood of UK and others fighting Axis. USA's actions are consistent through recent history. Capitalism rules over morals.

There ya go, spoiling everything by spreading a confusing thick layer of logic over the issues. That's not how the game is played.

Stop it Nev. You are depressing me. We all know that anthro-something climate change is just invented by the communist lefties for political purposes. (Don't we have a special font for sarcasm?)

Look at this! The president of Magastan has changed parties! He got elected by the RED states. He always used to wear a red tie. Now he has gone to the blue side! Not sure what he is describing with that hand signal, though.

I think this proposed car might be a logical development grown out of the well known Trabant

No spine here?

Unlikely. The deranged orange one has crapped on its trade 'partners'. The stink will linger long after the crap is gone. Art of the deal? There might be big money changing hands in the background, but joe public won't see any of it.

Have they refused to carry out orders yet?

So far, I guess it is simply the act of a deranged narcissist. Grandiose drum beating. I hope he finds a new way to get attention and this action is forgotten tomorrow.

Yes, exactly. Why do you think that every time you call a 'help desk' the first words you hear are "We will not accept and sounds of anger from you." Then they put you on hold and are somehow surprised to find that after waiting half an hour or more, you are getting irritated and disenfranchised.

So, maybe russia and usa each need to get runs on the board internationally. Donny & Pooty both want a new triumph to tout to their faithful followers....... Both are newly best buddies...... Neither want bloodshed on their own turf.... Oh dear, what to do... Hmmmm ?

But we are not presently in normal times. Now that tRump has changed sides, pootin might even assist U.S. Note that U.S. is pretty much helping pootin with his Ukraine invasion

Agreed. The Bannon policy of 'flood the zone' combines excess floods of multiple possible truths in the media, and desensitising the public, with feeding the conspiracy minded. True facts (is that an oxymoron?) are still thin on the ground. Further to that, sometimes the redactions in the Eppyfiles often create suspicion and remove context from whatever is left unredacted. They create more questions than they answer.

Quoted from France24 news site:- "US buildup of warships and fighter jets sets stage for potential war with Iran" https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20260219-us-buildup-warships-fighter-jets-armada-sets-stage-potential-war-with-iran

To add some credibility to the news of military activity, it has been reported that the two pizza shops near MacDill airforce base reported major sales spike in pizza orders last night. Historically, such reports have previously coincided with major U.S. military planning and activity events. (Sorry, but I cannot find the 'sarcasm' emoticon)
