Suppose it had nothing to do with fanatical defense by the Ukrainian Arned Forces. It was all Joe Biden next we will giving him credit for The peace Deal in Middle East and youngsters being returned by Hamas

Mate you're doing that thing where you've realised what you posted was nonsense so you try to cover it over by making stuff up and changing the subject.

A bit of aid after they?ve already invaded not 1 but twice whilst he?s been either VP or President but now were meant to see him as the savior of Kiev. How many other presidents have managed to to not have Russia invade Ukraine.
The only people who think Biden?s been good at dealing with conflicts are arms manufacturing companies who?ve done great business.

If anything positive happens in Ukraine under Trump, it won?t be down to his skills at diplomacy. It will be because theres an outcome that suitable to Russia

Putins only pulling the one string though. I don?t think it?s a stretch to say that theres a lot of people across politics & western nations, that are compromised by Isreal

Thank f*ck, as he hasn't got any.

Trump would like to be in Putins position of having absolute control over his own country, so they may well reach some sort of compromise.

You have to laugh when they mention more sanctions on Russia though. I don't think it bothers them too much as they have strong allies outwith the western nations.

The thing that is most shocking is how normalised the lunacy in the States has become.
It really is a third world, failing state.
Trouble is, it's a wealthy, nominally free-market failing state.
So that's OK then.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there are people born now that will see the end of the world.

Who is demanding that you see him as the saviour of Kiev? Certainly not me, I would argue his administration could have done a lot more a lot earlier but to say they have done nothing is internet nonsense.

Ive got confidence things will get better once the Boomers are gone. The most privileged generation in the history of the planet & theyre still all permanently raging at stuff. Obsessed with making things worse for the people behind them.

Not having a go at individual boomers here, just making a general point

You're wrong unless there is a giant asteroid strike.

What gives you a thought that the planet will survive?

Used to think that but now I see the Richard Tate generation and shudder.

Glad I don’t have kids.

Not defending my generation - recently 'downsized' to an 'apartment' (it's a flat real estate cnts but at least people only pish in the lift by accident) and am surrounded by older 'comfortably off' nimbies.

However

Does seem to have been non educated white tuechters that got the orange rapist over the line but at least the boomers got their noses out of their phones long enough to turn up and vote. Apathy and feeling excluded is one thing but adolescence is supposed to be over by your mid-****s.

Ah what's the point.

My 18 year old often likes to remind me how it is the older generation that f*cked them over.

Nobody can argue with that, but I am sure many will.

I'm with Mason on this. I think the young are more savvy than what we old c*nts think they are.

Some are tuned in.
But there's a lot of them make me wonder.
They seem oblivious to......the real world.

No wonder, it?s a total sh1t show for young people in the real world. Crap jobs, no chance of a house, no prospects of retirement, polluted planet, c*nts that never did national service screaming for them to do national service, the most boring c*nts in the world hating them for not hating the same people they do?.

Id be tuning out too.
