There is no onus on me to do more research. Are you attempting to reverse this onus? People who try to do that are not of this world. The absolute truth. I'm only in my first lifetime, so I haven't achieved status of a Guru or deity quite yet.

Trump calls for Ukraine to be 'cut up' after tense meeting with Zelenskyy

Ukraine does not seek to win. Never has. Winning is not in the vocabulary. So there is no need to define win. What Ukraine has always sought is to successfully defend its territory from the aggressors. Should Russia scamper away like a bunch of ...

Trump: Ukraine could still win the war, I don't think they will

It was the linked article. People are invited to comment on what it conveys. Even a stiff can understand such basic rules of engagement. No one article could be a complete narrative, by their nature they are a summary, with a word limit. Why even ...

Trump calls for Ukraine to be 'cut up' after tense meeting with Zelenskyy

And while the US is busy doing that, bring home the 170,000 US troops stationed overseas, and dismantle its 750 military bases in 80 countries. That'd be a good start. url

Trump calls for Ukraine to be 'cut up' after tense meeting with Zelenskyy

I would've thought that by now that Zelenskyy ought to have learnt to not trust Trump, beginning with that awful meeting they had I think in February. Just drop him like a dirty cheatin' lyin' stiff and don't even take his phone calls. Let Trump and ...

Trump calls for Ukraine to be 'cut up' after tense meeting with Zelenskyy

Stiff is a good word. I think I'll try to incorporate the word stiff into my own sentences wherever possible.

Masked gang steal Napoleon’s jewellery from Louvre

In the meantime, coffee gapped up on open by about 10 cents. That's pretty stiff.

Trump: Will announce Colombia tariff rate tomorrow

Isn't this genre reasonably saturated? Just off the top of my head I can think of half a dozen art heist movies. Yeah, I like.

Masked gang steal Napoleon’s jewellery from Louvre

Well its a bit like the business structure known as a partnership. Theoretically they are doomed due to joint profit against individual cost of effort. The conditions for a stable Nash equilibrium are complicated. In practice, they can and do work, ...

BOE's Bailey: Brexit to negatively impact UK economic growth for forseable future

I've been informed by credible sources that whole matter is an urban myth.

BOE's Bailey: Brexit to negatively impact UK economic growth for forseable future

Too easy. You have to ask yourself, can humans please God? Vertical is very infuenced by the Old Testament (Law based, as I said originally. Not Christ or Spirit based.). This quote about vertical morality is particularly illuminating. “Vertical ...

US Treasury Secretary Bessent urges the World Bank to end support for China

Not slang. Being careful with terminology, if possible, facilitates civil discussion. If words were "a bunch of fuckin' commie poofters", that would be slang and perfectly normal Australian vernacular.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent urges the World Bank to end support for China

Australia does not have a communist government. There are elements of that in some politicians, but there is also elements of radical right, too. My Green comment was about the net zero shit. So, irrelevant comment.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent urges the World Bank to end support for China

Very much so, should you read the Koran/Quran. Surely I am allowed to say that without getting into trouble with FF?

US Treasury Secretary Bessent urges the World Bank to end support for China

I struggle with this vertical morality concept, as does the author, by their own admission. It appears to be clearly Law based, which is not Jesus based at all. Very difficult or even impossible to reconcile, as are many things that Fundamentalist ...

US Treasury Secretary Bessent urges the World Bank to end support for China

The only explanation for the comment that you responded to is that the USA is drenched in propaganda that rivals Nth Korea. This was news to naive me until recently. Something else that pops up from time to time from our friends from the US and is ...

China and US agreed to hold a new round of trade talks soon

I don't understand that quote (I don't have access to the original context - that might have helped). Why does making a significant loss say a lot about the mood in a market? The market doesn't have a mood, it is dispassionate. Of course there is a ...

China and US agreed to hold a new round of trade talks soon

As post #72 says, Australia does not have sufficient power for processing. I don't know details except that requirements are significant. Australia is fundamentalist Green. Plenty solar panels and wind farms. No nuclear, and coal plants are ...

US Treasury Secretary Bessent urges the World Bank to end support for China

Something I have done when I wanna bet that something might happen over the weekend is open a position a few minutes before Friday close, and be online at open US time Sunday evening. It happens from time to time. Worst that can happen is that ...

China and US agreed to hold a new round of trade talks soon

I kinda suspected that. So, despite what is said in post#4 below yours (which were sort of my initial thoughts) the final price matters not so much for the sake of quality. In which case truck buyers might be brand loyal to Mercedes even in the face ...

Trump signs order hitting truck imports with 25% tariffs
