Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Venezuela, Iran. With this pace, by the end of his presidency he'll be remembered as the worst warmonger in history.

I remember the protests 23 years ago, the resistance from EU leaders and people for the unprovoked and dangerous war with Iraq. Now, for something far more dangerous to escalate to WWIII and even potentially destructive for the global economy, silence. With the exception of Spain.

I think it does. Nothing is just numbers, there's a background stoty behind. A similar victory between 2 other candidates in a normal race wouldn't be significant probably but under the circumstances Trump won, it was a big thing and so I call it and I consider it a very strong mandate. As do...

Yes, but when you consider everything that was thrown at him during the two-year election campaign, one case after another, along with the sustained media attacks his victory was quite significant. His mandate appears strong, in that context.

Not me. I had almost irreversibly lost faith during the 12-day war; it was obvious where things were heading. I simply waited for him to complete one year in office, as I had promised earlier in this thread. *Well, to be totally honest, I did wait for an eleventh hour miracle from January 20th...

Wishful thinking, i.e., he had previous experience with the blob he wouldn't do the same mistakes (he did way worse and counting). He had a very strong mandate and popular support, plus Supreme Court and all, frankly if anyone could change anything since FDR that should be him. Plus that he...

@Perun Assessment for Trump one year later: He had a one in 100 years previous experience in the presidency and experience on "the blob", he had an extremely strong mandate, he had a meaningful movement that supported him and he still managed to fuck everything up and all that to serve the...

Well, he's not paying rent for one so there's that, plus his wife also brings another 1,100€ which is about the average here. It’s still impressive though, which is why I asked. I used to live in France, but I never went to private doctors there, so I don’t really know what the prices are...

What about just visit doctors /psychologists privately? A friend of mine in Greece has been seeing a psychiatrist privately for years, outside of the public welfare system. Even though his net monthly income is only €1,100, which is quite low, he can still afford it.

Absolutely, though I didn't mean it as responsibility but as a market, in the sense that if there were no demand (market) for cocaine there would be no cartels.

And if you think about it all this mess and killings happen because some rich people in US and Canada choose to spend some of their surpluses in cocaine consumption!

While this is generally true, there’s a kind of passion when a middle aged-to-old man or woman fells in love with a way much younger subject and it can turn pretty crazy and destructive. My friend isn’t in that category but I’ve seen a couple of cases that they were and it’s scary.

Frankly whenever I fall in love, passion category, it looks like being sick and abnormal with all the above symptoms no matter she has given in to me or not, I still have those “symptoms” only that in the case I don’t have her, it’s just a scale up more unbearable and desperate; a scale up, but...

In a nutshell, I think the passion is gone but there's lots of love and affection after 15 years. Also his affair is 20 years younger, so I don't think it would last in the long term. It was just a sexual thing but the highs and ecstasy were too high and they ended up fall in love and now suffer...

I don't have anything going on for myself and not expect to, but I'm giving dating advices to a close friend lately. He was in an extra-marriage affair ridiculously powerful in the sex department and after many months the girl asked him to stop as she was starting to seriously suffer that they...

Where did I say that Greeks did not fight? They successfully repelled the Italians in Albania, my grandfather fought Italians in those battles and was proud for life. Then Greek fought subsequent German invading army for months. But please don't quote Churchill heroes fight like Greeks and all...

Fight =battles with officially drafted soldiers, as of fight with engaging armies, between states, otherwise it's resistance at best. From your list only Belgium and Netherlands sort of qualifying, both with very minimal output. Czechoslovakia did not fight. Norway basically collaborated...

6 countries fought them. Six.

Don’t know about DHS but ICE, the way they shoot people like they were less than dogs? Worse than fascists. And Trump’s Administration backing them baffles my mind and deeply disturbs me. Good and Pretti were perfectly innocent, man. As innocent as was Kirk.

My ancestors fought them but this is irrelevant I was not talking about war. And I mentioned “stance” as well, not only “manners”. Anyway, the point is the Nazis or today. One easy answer is that Trump is a Nazi. I would argue that Netanyahu is a Nazi too. And that the people you endlessly...
