    IMHO, we are seeing a rising growth of "some" who appear to be "Hearing" what others don't hear , and are on hearing " words or views of action to take" they gain the right, or view to "inflect" Laws or actions on others. Now this could be due simply from the growing amount of "pollution in the...

    Capital punishment.

    It has become in my "view" over some many years, that there is a "growth" of people who have become a sort of "Human Life savers". What I am trying to understand is where as we live in a Democratic society, sharing that Democratically giving right, of choice, would it not serve a purpose by...

    When tanks roll, currencies stampede. How deep into your pocket can Vlad Putin reach ?

    You present Putin here as victim. Sear I do with haste correct any impression I may have given, as to Putin being a Victim. As to his metal or physical state, I would venture he is some one who has been deluded into thinking he not only has a wealth of Mental ability's plus a supreme knowledge...

    Capital punishment.

    Thank you titan, my age, sometimes makes "operating" a new system a "touch difficult". Plus being as they say "lead up the garden path" by those you employ to make things "work at a touch" have (as they will in time find out) P-----me off. Plus at this time we are having "major" (hope the powers...

    Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) blocked bipartisan Ukraine aid. Who is right?

    (Glad to be back) Before reasoning any response to the "Veto" as to Aid for Ukraine 2 points I would like to raise. The first we in the West live under Democratically elected Governments. Which in turn give those we elect a right to question any declaration as to spending any Government money...

    When tanks roll, currencies stampede. How deep into your pocket can Vlad Putin reach ?

    Tomorrow is the 9th May. It marks the period of the U.S.S.R. so called triumph over the Nazi Germany, a parade is held in Moscow each year. It's where the Kremlin announces to the world their great achievements Russia has made. But this year will be different because with the Ukraine still not...

    When tanks roll, currencies stampede. How deep into your pocket can Vlad Putin reach ?

    Where as I agree "Putin" has surrounded himself with people that either fear him, or are indeed are halfwits, he (Putin) one way or another (my belief he has certainly seen how Energy can and has been a very strong card to play) has allowed himself to believe "all peoples want to have Russia to...

    When tanks roll, currencies stampede. How deep into your pocket can Vlad Putin reach ?

    Putin may be a half-wit. But I imagine he's smart enough to know for Putin to execute on such threat would be global suicide. So the West's loathsome task is to find a way to persuade Putin he can: - back down from Ukraine - suffer an indisputable defeat there - and yet still appear heroic to...

    When tanks roll, currencies stampede. How deep into your pocket can Vlad Putin reach ?

    The U.S. didn't want this. Certainly Ukraine didn't. So now Putin is flailing, trying to find something he can declare a victory. Sear The real problem IMHO is that the West have allowed him "to think he is the one". Putin has been no difference from another leader, who once thought to himself"...

    Can a quotation brighten your day?

    Looks like the 2024 political season is already underway. titan Yes, it is on it's way, the only problem we face is "Leadership". Both the US.A. and in other country's , we now face a leader of Russia, that thinks "I am the one". it remains to be seen if we have a Leader who can say "sure your a...

    When tanks roll, currencies stampede. How deep into your pocket can Vlad Putin reach ?

    Putin's mad scramble is obvious. His 3 day conquest is obviously not going well for him. Rampage Totally agree, but. What now seems to be happening is he is "Tailoring his ambitions" by taking as much Territory he can before the 9th May when he makes his speech on the Anniversary of when Russia...

    Capital punishment.

    This move will be my 7th over the last 60 odd years. And yes it is and has been sometimes difficult to adjust. But this will be my last. When I lived in Wales we bought an old Farm house with about 4 acres. Over the 25 yrs I live there we made it into a very delightful Home The Mountain behind...

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    IMHO the real problems for the World are being to show, in that Russia and China being led by "un-elected" leaders do what they want, as to Putin well it's now fairly obvious he is trying be another Stalin, wanting in some adverse way to be remembered as a Russian Demi-God and doing what he...

    Well I went to the Quack (Doctors) today for just a check, and found I have shrunk by near 4inches came as a real surprise but I am told it happens as you age, but if that's the case what happens if I live another 5 yrs will I need "elevated shoes". But we are slowly getting warmer here. It's...

    Sear, your posting of quotes is becoming a " watch words of Sanity" As for my floor problems, top part of the floor gone now we find "crossing fingers" the problem could simple be a "replacement of Heating system" which although costly is not as bad as we first thought.

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    I miss Grace, she was a sort of balancing poster. As for Ukraine, the latest quote we are seeing made by Putin is "if anyone interferes with Russian forces used in Ukraine a "swift and total response will be made" this is from a Leader now so immersed in his own dreams that the possibility of a...

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    Yes, I view your posts as if nothing else then a "picture" of what will or could come about. But what we are IMHO dealing with is a "Leader" who thought he could achieve a victory in a few days. What has happened is that not only was he so badly ill-advised, he now is in a very dangerous...

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    I am baffled about why Ukraine hasn't counter-attacked Russia. Russian military forces have laid waste to cities in Ukraine. So why hasn't Ukraine dropped a single bomb on the Kremlin? Sear Excellent point. But they (the Ukraine's) lack means to inflect damage on Russia as such, and if they did...
