That's because they don't stay in their lane as business owner, but use the proceeds of that business (and a bunch of others) to influence world politics in a way that no single individual should ever be able to.

Ok, so you have a problem with your boss. Fine. Solve it, sue them, whatever. But you don't go and endanger the lives of your co-workers and countless emergency responders. What an idiot.

It's interesting that democracy is so incredibly fragile. All it takes is for a minor portion of the voters to be given a bunch of lies that increase their own feelings of superiority and boom , there goes your decades long work. Frig

It is kind of funny. It also puts the lie to their 'respect for religion'. I can see Trump declaring himself to be pope next.

What I like most about the Fifth Element is that they didn't milk it through a bunch of sequels.

> Why do you still believe there's any crime at all that could somehow turn around the people who support Trump? Did I say that? Or did your reply get attached to the wrong comment? Either way, no I don't believe that at all.

No, they would definitely want western Ukraine and they would take it too. From the beginning of the war it was pretty clear that they were going for all of it. Remember the assault on Kyiv, as well as the leaked map that showed all of Uk

Indeed, but without them Ukraine would have been overrun by now. They are 'auxiliary' but very important. Ukraine is pretty clever about them too: most of these expire after a few days or weeks.

Ukraine did not decide to go to war. I really don't know where you got the idea that they had any agency in preventing this short of giving Russia all of their territory and fleeing West. Since you're an immigrant into Europe mayb

In the interest of figuring out whether you are trolling or not, can you please describe which problems these are and what diplomatic solutions you believe exist?

Those resins are absolutely fantastic but do read the MSDS and be very careful, it doesn't take much to get yourself in the emergency ward with that stuff. Another risk to be acutely aware of is that these reactions usually are exother

Well, there is a bit of a problem. Ukraine has shown the reality of dealing with Russia and unfortunately landmines are back on the menu. Yes, it would be much better if we didn't need to defend from aggressors. But if you tie your own

Iranians abroad or Iranians in Iran? Because the ones abroad don't have a lot to lose and much to gain. The ones in Iran have a lot to lose as well.

We must have a completely different definition of 'it worked'. The only thing that worked here is that he managed to get Epstein off the front pages, but that will only work for so long. Oh, then there is Cuba of course.

To be 100% fair to the GP: indeed, Iran does not currently have an active weapons program. But they do have a weapons program, but they used it so far more for leverage. The truth is nobody really knows what they would have done had they

Or maybe they know how much more difficult it is to go from 60% to 90%+? Iran will pursue the bomb now with triple the effort they put into it so far. As will every other crappy country that has the talent, the facilities and the money. Tha

You may be on to something here. Trump is too stupid to realize he's opening Pandora's box. And all that to distract from a rape scandal...
