Anyway, Wednesday was war day according to Biden. Its not happened yet. If it doesnt, him and BJ can claim its due to their immense diplomacy skills which prevented it. Liz Truss couldn't even hold a conversation with interpreters, she talked over them before they had finished speaking.

I don't know if Liz Truss is as thick as fuck or not. She certainly appears to be as thick as fuck. It's entirely possible that she's of average intelligence but has been promoted to a role that requires someone of above average intelligence to perform competently. The resulting effect is that she appears as thick as fuck. Or maybe she's just as thick as fuck. It's so difficult to tell these days.

If Liz Truss was in a puddle wearing wellies she'd be out of her depth

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_TrussLiz Truss backed Remain. After the referendum she had changed her mind and would have voted for Leave: Ms Truss said she had believed there would be “massive economic problems” if Britain voted to leave the EU, but these had “not come to pass”.Ms Truss told the BBC's Daily Politics: “The reason I’ve said is because I voted to Remain because I was concerned about the economy but what we’ve seen since the Brexit vote is our economy has done well.
“We’ve attracted new overseas investment, we haven’t seen the dire predictions come to pass. We have seen new opportunities to trade with the rest of the world, I think that’s exciting.
www.politicshome.com/news/article/liz-truss-says-she-would-now-back-brexitThat article was written in 2017. We hadnt actually left the EU then. The worst case scenarios didnt materialise, because in Jan 2021 we actually left with a trade deal. Her post Brexit 2017 views sound very much like, er , shit, I'd better change my views as I want to progress. "We import two-thirds of our cheese: That! Is! A! Disgrace!", and her grinning claim to be "opening up new pork markets"Her statements widely mocked, but I actually agree with what she says. Why do we import cheese? The UK produces a wide range of cheese from Blue Stilton to mild Cheddar. I sometimes go for Cornish Brie at Tescos, but its currently unavailable. They dont mature it long enough, but thats beside the point. If you can sell pork to the Chinese, thats amazing as they eat loads of pork. She strikes me as a career politician thats better suited to off camera work, but dont make her Foreign Office secretary or Justice Secretary as she isnt qualified. She studied Philosophy, politics and economics at Uni. But blame the leader for appointing her.

Nothing yet Phil, but I’m keeping an eye out for white clad men bearing AK47’s swigging from a bottle of purest Russian vodka.

I think I was over optimistic of what might happen. I was half expecting Putin to take control of those two independent state as there are a lot of ethnic Russians living there. But I didnt think I'd hear him say shit like Russia created Ukraine and it is now a failed state, a puppet of the US. He isnt going to stop. Did you see that meeting of their ministers where someone said he will support the Russian control of those states. Putin jumped on him and said why didnt he say he supports it now. The bloke was a quivering wreck.

On its roof there is a giant statue of a woman with her arm outstretched, pointing towards Russia. Apparently the Russians placed it there to remind Ukranians who their daddy was. Russia has always felt it had spiritual ownership of Ukraine. Many Ukrainians also share this view which will blur the sides in this conflict and massively complicate things. I never thought I'd see anything like this in Europe in my lifetime.

WMD invasions were no more honest. Made up incursions in the Gulf of Tonkin to start Vietnam. All the late 70s/80s South American nonsense.

Vietnam? I dont know much about the history of that, other than it was a kicking for US were they trying to keep the communists from the North out of the South? Will normal Americans have any interest in Russia reclaiming an old USSR state? Like El Noodle, I never thought I'd see anything like this in Europe in my lifetime either. I thought the World had grown up, let bygones be bygones.
