For really effective time management you need to delegate the masturbation another team member. Id probably retain project manager on the coke though.

This guy seems to have the passion and understanding needed.

Not really - by that I mean I went on a Carribbean cruise and visited a few but for hours not days. Grand Cayman was 'fine'. Got a friend whose family is from Trinidad and loves it. Several people I know have been to Barbados and love that. Dominica (not Dominican Republic) is supposed to be unspoilt

Is that Victory 2047? 🤔

And there in a nutshell is why you're a joke. The US led Prosperity Guardian is a coalition of 11 countries and the country with the largest number of ships committed is India with 12. Denmark, Greece, Netherlands, France, Italy and Germany have all sent ships, some under national command and some under US unified command. France was there and shooting down drones six weeks before Britain sleepily rocked up. The operations cover not just the straits entrance to the Red Sea but also the longer Yemen coast along the Arabian sea https://www.arabnews.com/node/2461461/world https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231210-french-frigate-downs-drones-over-red-sea-military

Thick or lying, doesnt really make a difference tbf. You can't kill 1,200 civilians, mostly women and children, and not expect massive massive response. Who knew?

How come its not the Bilderberg Groups fault anymore and its all to do with WEF? Was there a Shadow Global Domination Government playoff I missed?

Ha no but did make some big assumptions because he's fit, well dressed and a former mayor of San Francisco! My bad

Isnt that a tactical 'there is no vacancy and dont want to appear grasping and disloyal' ruling himself out? I'm sure if Biden said tomorrow he isnt going to stand again Newsom would run. Newsom is impressive, seems to have endless facts and figures at his fingertips. Not sure howe a gay guy would go down in many states tho. Perhaps it doesnt matter if they are firmly red and Trump anyhow.

It's all about alignment now. We'll slide back in by increments to the point where its effectively irrelevant whether we are technically members or not. I haven't heard the phrase Norway + for quite a while, but that's where we'll end up over 15-20 years imo.

Probably is wishful thinking but I imagine many people wish it to be true. The Obamas might be the only people able persuade him to stand aside - he was Baracks VP and Michelle and Bidens wife Jill were friends apparently,

There is also an element of smoke and mirrors even in the UK. All kinds of costs are included in our supposed defence expenditure - pensions, notional value of training land if it were used for housing which was then rented out, the jets used by politicians and the royal family etc etc. 'Real' expenditure is supposed to be nearer 1.6%

Seeing increasing chatter about Michelle Obama being lined up to replace Biden. No idea if true.

can believe it about youtube comments. God knows what the answer is but none of the options are good

I'm not so sure. Admittedly I havent watched the whole thing but in the clips I've seen Putin comes across as creepy at best and reinforces the manistrweam view of him being an Empire builder regardless of what neighbouring countries want.

True. I think somehow that wont happen.

Biden is a good man who is past it. Trump is an arsehole who never had it, but if he did, he'd be past it now. At this point I don't see any value in the posts trading my guy is better than your guy.

Could be anything. Seizing some particular Russian tech, a commander who knows stuff, a person who is a bargaining chip etc etc. Im sure they are informed choices.

I actually bothered to read some of his posts. I regret the waste now. His stuff is full of: Contradictions eg 'leaving the EU has made no difference, things are worse in Europe because of the EU'; Factual untruths: farmers are in decline because of net zero (the price of red diesel has nothing to do with net zero and even if it did the importance to famers pales beside the loss of £7bn CAP subsidies they used to get Plain old made up carp: "That’s what lead to the pleasant, successful communities that colliery and steel towns usually were" I guess he never went to Ebbw Vale, Scunthorpe, Sefton or Aberfan.

Anyone remember the old Topic bar advert jingle "What's got a hazelnut in every bite?" Squirrel shit.

Cool, we're all agreed then - Russia lies.

Richest in the world I tell thee!

The data published in the Statistics Department's International Financial Statistics (IFS) are gathered as part of an ongoing data collection effort in which member country statistical agencies provide public statistics to the IMF. Data from the country source are updated on their own schedule. https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/frequently-asked-questions#:~:text=The data published in the,updated on their own schedule.

Duh. The IMF simply compile the data the countries give them. Russia lies. Who knew? (well not you obvs)

I'm not particularly worried about Russia, they've always been far more carp than they crack themselves up to be. But we are too weak atm and so are too many other European countries. If everybody is weak you need big coalitions and big coalitions cant agree on anything apart from taking the first excuse for peace.
