The US education system doesn't cover much that happens outside of America. Their right wing media tells them they are doing well everywhere with Trump at the helm but most are completely insulated from the rest of the world. These are the MAGA nutters. You tube is full of clips showing their complete ignorance. Trump needs them to bolster his own ego and to relieve the complete insecurity of his pathetic existence. The problem is that the reality of inflation from his crazy tariffs and cost of petrol etc affects them as it does everyone and they are starting to run out of reasons to explain it all away. The mid term elections could change everything.

The only time that will happen is after their next civil war. The senate already has the power to restrict Trump but they have become impotent with Trump quoting Emergencies when there are none and all the government appointees being sycophants. The only hope is republicans losing their house majority after the mid terms.

Lots of brands have auto headlights and auto dipping. Mine has. When it is dark enough the headlights come on. Like all modern cars it also has daytime running lights. I can switch everything to manual if I want to but it is easier to let the car decide when to put the lights on & when to dip them or turn them off. It is way more conservative at dipping headlights than me so will do it a long way from an oncoming vehicle on a straight highway & often dips the lights when it gets a strong reflection from a large reflective road sign. One less thing to have to do, Works fro me.

In the meantime the UK, Germany, France, Sweden, other European countries & even Ukraine are all ramping up production in their own armaments industries to reduce and eliminate reliance on US arms. 50 year of that reliance is at an end. Also much of their technology is equal to or more advanced that that of the US. It will take a few years but in the long run little donny is f*#$ed. The main worry is what is Putins lot doing & the Chinese are full on as well. Hopefully i won't be around when the excrement finally hits the fan.

The US is already technically broke with a debt/GDP ratio of 124% and rising rapidly. They will keep printing money though but the chickens will eventually come home to roost. By comparison Australias debt/GDP ratio is 34.4%.

Just another confirmation of how trump has no idea of what he is doing and never has. Obama was one of the better US presidents & that is the only reason Trump has to continually run him down and change everything he can that Obama had anything to do with.

I think that is the Chinese way. The best way to humiliate Trump is to ignore him as best you can. Xi is a statesman, Trump is a buffoon.

None, They all represent interests of themselves as billionaires.

Impressive from a US perspective but China is way ahead in many technologies now and is creating its own chips. Most Qualcom chips are manufactured in Taiwan now. Most Apple phones are made in China, Teslas that are exported around the world are made in China. I don't know about the others but I reckon Boeing is sourcing parts from China. I wonder id the financial services lot (Citigroup, Mastercard, Visa) are exploring investment from China?

Both I reckon.

Maybe he didn't want any military hardware at the WW2 victory parade because he feared some of it could be turned on him.😍

Well they have reportedly lost a million men & a lot of them were in military equipment. The cost in human resource doesn't concern Putin, it is the economic cost and opposition is ramping up possibly due to relatives of a million men talking to others, access to foreign media through underground processes, high inflation getting worse & disgruntled lackeys. He hasn't been seen publicly for ages so he must be pretty concerned.

All UAE has to do is wait for the right time to activate the self destruct system they left in the aircraft.

Most towbars have a removable ball assembly these days so the actual main assembly is recessed behind the bumper. I only put mine on when I am using the trailer. I think most people do this now otherwise they risk getting it stolen.
