America & World IV: Trump's Taxing Day

[fishbowlhead]

This is the point where the UK needs to make a move - any wise government right now should seek cross-party support for a 30-year plan to end our reliance on foreign energy.

Awwwwwww, you actually think the uk gov can plan anything other than its next wine&cheese.

We'll just wag our finger while accepting Russian money.

I said "any wise government"

Any wise government would have done that 30 years ago.

The 2 most incompatible words you can find, wise & government.

The Russian Ministry of Defence has issued the, frankly embarrassing, request to the public to set images of Russian military might as their desktop images

Putin says he's open to a diplomatic resolution as long as he gets everything he wants

But Putin finally has a vocal supporter, someone who thinks all these events are wonderful and the signs of a genius... Donald Trump

Just in case we all end up incinerated in a nuclear armageddon, I just want you all to know I love you very much.

Also, the Mega Drive has always had a more interesting and less childish catalogue of games than the SNES.

PEACE OUT!

If you loved us, why would you say such hurtful things to us?

If global nuclear armageddon means the end of YouTube retro gaming shows overusing crappy remix versions of the already hackneyed music from the 8/16 bit Mario and Zelda titles, maybe it was all worth it.

Russia has begun the invasion.

This always felt like more than just flexing.

[MartyG]

Think that's been obvious for some time and especially since his unhinged speech earlier this week. It's not just a small incursion, it's an invasion from three different fronts.

Despite some's belief that it's far away and won't impact us, it of course will. This can only increase the cost of living issues as it will impact the price of fuel, but also food. What I didn't know until very recently is just how much of the world's supply of wheat Ukraine & Russia provide. It's 14% of supply and 29% of world exports. As previously mentioned they also supply a large number of rare earth metals and other important electronic raw materials.

Things don't happen in a vacuum in a globally connected world.

Thats going to destabilise the planet for the next decade. Fantastic.
