Good guy Biden steals 7bn from Afghanistan https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/11/biden-7bn-frozen-afghan-reserves-taliban

My brother worked in Moscow for 4 years. Can't speak to the happiness scale but I did see a bear riding a motorbike at the circus

And this could also go in the Biden thread. The US defence budget signed by Biden is 777.7 billion annually, which is a 37billionillion increase on anything Trump managed Can't afford to forgive student debt though

I'm in no way saying China is benign, I'm just don't think the US is a force for good either. Again apologies for brevity. I've not got the time to engage properly so I'll leave it there
-
Still buying into the US as saviour. You genuinely can't think of any other reason Economically it makes much more sense not to invade
-
What do you think the US would do if this happened
-
Scoobos is making some great points here. Propaganda works and we have been bombarded by West is Best since birth. The picture is much more balanced than that
-
Europe already learning to live without the US China is about economic domination, always has been throughout history Russia's threat overblown I realise this is simplistic, but I am busy at work
-
Why? Because US intervention round the globe have gone so well in the past?

Don't feed the troll lads

Not really related to Starmer and I'm not backing the Stop the war alliance, but blindly thinking that the west is blameless as NATO expands towards Russia is being naive. Of course Russia will feel threatened by NATO expansion USA wouldn't have accepted Mexico joining the Warsaw pact

I'm in the treat him carefully camp. Aggravating an injury would be daft -
The F1 2022, MotoGP and Other Sports That Go Vroom-Vroom Thread

Yeah I would love Sam to do well, he had it won the year before until he broke his wrist. I've got to be honest Moto3 is my favourite watch. Those kids are nuts -
The F1 2022, MotoGP and Other Sports That Go Vroom-Vroom Thread

I'm in for any F1 MotoGP or indeed cycling talk. Hoping for Verstappen to get put firmly in his place this season, him being gifted the championship was an utterly disgrace, and his overtake or crash behaviour is shocking In MotoGP going to be lost without the Doctor, hope Marquez doesn't win every race and will be pulling for Jack Millar In cycling I'm desperate for the Manx Missile to race the Tour -
Dick out!

The Dems been in power a year and done nothing. The midterms are coming up this year so they will likely lose their majorities in the House and the Senate. So Biden will be even more of a lame duck than he is now. They've done nothing to stop the rampant voter suppression round the country. They've concentrated on the Presidency for years so at a state level apart from the coast the Republicans control everything from the schoolboards to the judiciary. There is a far right Republican Supreme Court with a guaranteed majority for at least a generation The Democrats are fucked
-
Trump will win the Republican primary ridiculously easily if he decides to contest it. The Democrats will get absolutely crushed no matter who runs To think Harris has any chance of making it about policies is to completely misunderstand how American media and polotics works. Having said that Biden will be running unless he is in a coffin

Or I might be giving him too much credit and he's just a massive racist of course
-
He knew it was racist, but was not expecting the audience to be so racist as to find the joke hilarious. The point I assume was more to point out racism against Roma was so commonplace and accepted that nobody was aware of the Roma killed Proved his point a little too well

Which quizmaster had green pubes? Bamber Grassgroin Where's Shinton when you need him?
