Re: After 20 years of fighting the Taliban
Donald Trump will be furious he didn't use the same contractor the Greek government has hired. 25+ miles of new wall springing up in just a few days. A lot better than the orange fuckwit managed. But that contractor wasn't donating to Trump and/or the Republican Party. That's why the US got such in...

Re: After 20 years of fighting the Taliban
The Taliban have been negotiating with China and now want the rest of the world to let them do what they want inside their borders in return for not exporting terrorism. So a return to what they had 20 yers ago.

Trump calls for VP Harris to become president. I guess Trump really wasn't paying attention during all the classes that discussed the constitution, because if Biden leaves office it doesn't make Trump president.

Re: After 20 years of fighting the Taliban
Yeah, Biden's really taken the opportunity to make America look weak and run with it. American democracy is at a painfully low ebb. From the ineffective to the insane to the incapable. Biden honored the negotiated Trump truce with the Taliban. Trump agreed to withdraw most of the troops by May 1. B...

I can confirm from a few hours ago, that a different player has to open a game after all players have readied their moves for it to advance. In the Retreat phase there was only one player with a move and after it was readied, I as a different player open the game. It showed all players readied and w...

Re: Southern Border
That's because US immigration policy give preferred status to illegals that arrive, "by land," meaning by boat and plane over those who use other means. It is seen mostly in Florida.

I was sole retreat order and no matter how many times I looked and not ready/ready order it wouldn't update until the full time had passed. It still se...

Re: Brexit Food Shortages Beginning in Britain Now
The US inflation rate has been suppressed by Covid-19 reducing fuel usage. The calculations are continually changed to keep the number artificially low by changing the items being measured. Companies kept prices low by choice as costs rose for the last year and now are raising them because they can....

Re: Southern Boarder
Trump's Wall was a bad joke on the American taxpayer. It costed on average $4.6 million per mile and was climbable with a $5 ladder. Contract costs were increasing with no oversight to rein in costs. It took money from defense contracts that were for improving US security and helping military famili...

Seriously? Do Palestinian's have the same rights to lost homes from 70 years ago? Well if you say Palestinian squatters given homes by Jordanian conquerors from their Jewish owners is legal. Then Israel which conquered East Jerusalem in 1967 and annexed it would have the same legal rights to return...

Re: Meanwhile another Palestinian Genocide brought to you by Israeli Fascists
The disproportionate use of force never ceases to amaze me. If Israel hadn't spent decades on rocket and missile defense after Iraq's Scud missiles, the results would have been different. Over 1300 rockets launched by Hamas and a quarter landed in Gaza to hurt their own people. What do recommend, a...

Re: Call of Duty is why there are mass shootings
Gun regulation will reduce the number of deaths per incident. If you look at counties with the tightest regulation like Japan, when they have mass killings the death toll is lower because the perpetrator has to use a sword or other weapon that takes longer to kill. The ease od getting a gun with a h...
