  2. Awesome firepower by the US. That was a battalion sized invasion and the US annihilated it.

  3. He was the greatest intellectual Fox ever had on by a long way. Very unbiased, with a depth of historical knowledge , articulate and occasionally funny. Fox will never replace him. Fox goes back to being a moron station.

  4. Eric Trump said, "We don't use American banks we get all the money we need from Russia". Nuff said.

  6. azur, thanks for that : very informative. Especially how ' the Arab merchants know how to keep track of everyone ' : trade and commerce are the key to understanding history. Ahad Ha'am : at eight years old, he began to teach himself to read Russian. It reminded me of the story Nabokov told about his father realising he couldn't speak Russian (1906). In those times all Russian aristocrats spoke French at home. Anyway, I digress. I hope an amicable solution is found. The West should always back democracy which is sadly lacking on the Palestinian side.

  7. azur, my thoughts exactly (bi-national state) before I continue let me get this off my chest :- The 19th Century saw the collapse of dynasties (Habsburg, Ottoman etc) and the rise of nationalism. Greece had been occupied since 146BC by Romans, Byzantine, Ottoman, then struck for nationhood 1828 Italy broke from the Habsburg 1871 Germany 1871. So how did folk manage for 2000yrs without a nation ? Well if they had freedoms, prosperity and justice they were quite happy. So why don't people settle for those things now ? Well its the zeitgeist of the times : everyone wants to be a nation. Never mind that if Palestine got their wish they'd be a corrupt dictatorship in minutes : all dissent would be punished ( it would be like Putin's Russia). The Quran has explicitly rejected the basis of nationalism. Nationalism is a very Western invention. (Maybe Japan is an exception and China but Africa was tribal not national) Arthur Koestler was a rapist ( he raped Michael Foot's wife) I only add it to blacken his name ( posthumous justice).

  8. Big surprise in the midterms ? I thought a new poll was out : instead it's a comedy. Of course there is no surprise the Republicans are stuffed.

  9. Funding ? The EU has said it will assume the US burden if Trump pulls out So will Trump stab NATO in the back ? That's the question

  10. Russian humour : it was developed in Lubyanka - the KGB HQ, which specialized in torturing civilians before sending them to the Gulags. Humour was used to dehumanize the victims. Putin joked about 'raping' Ukraine in a telephone call with Macron. Lavrov laughed when asked if Russia intended to invade Ukraine. Russian soldiers ask young mothers if they "know how to give a blow-job". Negotiators report Russian insults and threats : the entire Russian nation is twisted by its own savage history - laughing at Lubyanka jokes and inflicting the brutalization they have experienced on others.

  11. Urban, I'm quite sure Charles was a secularist. I think he looked upon all that mumbo jumbo was a good deal of rational dismay.

  12. I predicted this months ago. China & Russia want the US out of Korea. They have told Kim to insist on it. They will then break sanctions to "encourage Kim's phased disarmament. It's a stitch-up that will end with N Korea being nuked.

  13.  @GeraldM_inNC  "The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is a brave lad" Thus spoke general Suvorov (1794 Prague massacre) The Russians were ruled by Genghis Khan's Mongols fro 250yrs till 1487. They have been Asiatic Autocrats ever since. Karl Marx described them as "The immobile mongol" One can only expect barbarism and inhumanity from the Russians.

  14. Krauthammer has pulled his horns in on this. Previously he said it had to be a nuclear response , that's the only way to prevent N Korea retaliating with WMDs. He is being diplomatic talking about conventional weapons, he knows it has to be nuclear.

  15. Lisa, your thoughts are the most incoherent , baseless nonsense I've ever read on Youtube. It is just moronic. You think they a protesting to get US welfare checks ? You total halfwitted moron. An utter imbecile.

  16. Jac, you total fuckwit imbecile. Yanks are famous for knowing nothing and having a low IQ You certainly conform to the type.

  17. Lord Owen : "The Russian generals know that the Americans have a massive, massive superiority in nuclear capability ; they know what would happen to their families" When asked whether the threat was real.

  18. I'll tell you what's a disgrace : Trump Jr trying to set up a back channel with the Kremlin using the Russian FSB to encode communications. Then Eric Trump telling a golf buddy, "We don't use American banks we get all the money we need from Russia". Are you morons able to put 2 + 2 together ?

  19. Syed, touché ; I accept you've won that round. I'd only done 5mins of research on Google so I was essentially unarmed. Let us agree on this : a free press distinguishes a Liberal country from a despotic one. Russia : journalists thrown from windows , imprisoned and murdered. China : absolutely no freedom. Iran : no freedom Pakistan : no freedom India : free press (I think ?) Turkey : No freedom , 100s of journalists in prison Saudi : no freedom See a common theme ? The axis of evil :- Russia , China and Muslim countries all suppress freedom of thought and expression. I think we can agree on that. Therefore we should all support the United States and Europe and other Liberal Western Democracies in the fight against Despotism, bigotry, brutality, fascism and injustice. Syed , I'm sure you will agree with that.

  20. Syed, bravo and very well spoken. I agree the Egypt coup (Muslim Brotherhood ) was Western backed. But remember Mohammed Morsi record on human rights :- "Two weeks before the June 30 mass anti-Morsi protests, President Morsi appointed as governor of Luxor a member of a hard-line Islamist group that had massacred 58 tourists there in 1997." " Incitement against religious minorities continued during Morsi’s rule and was never punished. High-ranking Islamist leaders, sometimes in Morsi’s presence, incited hatred against non-Muslim minorities and even against non-Islamist Muslims." https://freedomhouse.org/article/timeline-human-rights-violations-egypt-fall-mubarak

  21. Syed, (see below for comment you couldn't see) You are right about the success of the Caliphate. However that success brought about its demise. It was to gain access to the (Muslim monopolised )spice trade that Vasco de Gama rounded the Cape of Africa to India.(1498) It was religiously inspired and his ships had the crusader cross on their sails. You suggest the Caliphate crossing the Atlantic........ But there was no need : they had access to India which is what drove the West across the Atlantic. So the West wanted what the Caliphate had : access to India. You are right about tolerance of Jews as well. Christians have treated Jews much worse than Muslims. The 6 Day war :- Egypt were a disgrace. They told Jordan they had destroyed Israel air-power ; so Jordan sent its tanks in and they were slaughtered. I think this is the missing comment ? vinm300 Syed, bravo and very well spoken. I agree the Egypt coup (Muslim Brotherhood ) was Western backed.

  22. Syed, I do enjoy reading your posts. China : another consideration ; the intellectual stagnation of Confucianism. The intellectual elite (Civil/Court Service) having to memorize and regurgitate thousands of pages of text. India : likewise with religion. The intellectual elite were in religious torpor. "West spent almost all their GDP" :- The sophistication of banking helped because countries also acquired a National Debt (which meant they spent almost twice their GDP) "Muslims started viewing science as the absolute truth" : interesting. I saw a youtube Muslim seminar where the Fakir was saying evolution is a 'theory' and asked his young critic to point to a medical text-book that stated it as a fact. (The young man was trying not to laugh , which was brave of him). Six Day war : the was much respect between both armies in the Sinai with Egyptian troops helping injured Israelis and vice-versa. The Egyptian errors were all at the very top. Morsi should have consolidated his position. a) allow the economy to function , invite investment, clamp down on corruption. b) defend Coptic Christians c) ignore hard line extremists in the Muslim Brotherhood. He should have secured power. He had a comfortable democratic majority and could have been in power for years. He should have allowed himself to be lampooned on TV instead of arresting comedians for insulting him. He was his own worst enemy and the West were glad to see the back of him. American loot helped ; particularly silver from S America.

  23. Syed, allow me to paraphrase your question. "How does religion inhibit progress (if it didn't in the past) ? " Because religion is conservative by nature it flourishes in stasis. The period when China and India fall behind( 17th century) was a period of change. China's Confucianism and India's religious torpor are static : that's why they held them back. Families spent years trying to get sons to pass the Confucian exam in China. India's highest intellectual caste was the Brahmin .Even today in Saudi reciting the Quran is what scholars aspire to. So much brain power wasted. The attitude of a State can hold back or encourage progress. That happened in France : the aristocracy considered trade beneath them and when aristocrats were appointed to control colonies they showed disdain for commerce. By contrast the British & Dutch colonies were run by merchants. That's why France had so little colonial success. Ironically it was fighting the US war of Independence (1775) that put France in so much debt Louis XVI had to call the 3 estates to raise taxes : which resulted in the Revolution (1789) Marwa Elshakry : that's a good observation, that rejection of Darwin (by conservatives) was a rejection of colonialism. " I am against the view that one should participate in a secular democracy ............That’s like going to the casino and thinking you can win enough money to buy the casino." LOL Well said and quite right : once people feel an entitlement to freedom and independence they aren't going to hand power over to some despotic Fakirs. Those final paragraphs were very edifying. Very thought provoking : it reminded me of that Houthi missile launched at Riyadh ; I remember wishing it had been a successful strike. It's surprising how quickly you can lose your humanity : on the computer screen it just seems like a game. To return to the initial question :- Look how Christianity struggles to cope with stem cell research or genetic engineering. Religion hates change. Look at the Papal States , they were the most oppressive in Europe...... "One night in 1859 in the pope's kingdom his police raided a Jewish home. In accordance with one of the “sacred canons” and at the pope's behest, they kidnapped the family's six-year-old." The Pope allowed no telegraph, railway or schools ; he wanted people kept in medieval ignorance. Look at Tibet under the Buddhists : no democracy, no schools or hospitals just a good beating if you didn't pay taxes to the Buddhist Temple. The Dalai Lama wanted the people kept in medieval ignorance. All religions would like people kept in medieval ignorance. All religions are fascist and want to keep people indoctrinated . The Enlightenment only happened when Christianity had lost its grip on power. Diderot (1765 encyclopedia) :- The Jesuits had Louis XV permission to destroy all Diderot's manuscripts but the Chief of Police hid them in his office. (Even the Police sided against religious ignorance). The Pope would have stamped out the Enlightenment if he'd had the power

  24. Why is Parliamentary Democracy the model for the Civilized world ? Because the essence of civilized governance is compromise (AJP Taylor) In the Glorious Revolution of 1688, a petty tyrant James II was replaced by a selected duo William II and Mary I, who signed The Bill of Rights (1689) The landed Aristocrats then compromised to govern with the Merchant class. (Tories and Whigs). That governing coalition then compromised with the working class PM John Peel Reform Act 1832 One could also mention Elizabeth I Religious Settlement (1559), when she "refused to make windows into men's souls" and forbade parliament from discussing religion. Causing the Venetian ambassador to report "In England they are neither Catholic nor Protestant". Anglicanism was always the middle path of 'Don't ask'.

  25. Written in 1855 (Crimean War) "This then is my creed. I look upon Russia as the personification of despotism : in the present state of Poland and Hungary we see her work. Such a power can be curbed only by war, and must be curbed sooner or later, if Europe is to remain free. If we believe that God wills the liberty and happiness of mankind, how can we doubt that we are doing God's work in fighting for liberty against aggression" John Bright MP was pro-Russian, and replied (1855) :- "I go against fighting for Hungary or any other country.....by perfecting our own institutions, by promoting intelligence, morality and health......we shall do more for humanity" John Bright also acknowledged - "It is a delusion to think you can take guarantees from Russia", and suggesting that "The Russian power was a phantom". 170yrs later, and Russia is still at it.

  27. Vindicator, your complacency is a discredit to you. N Korea are a very clear threat. I don't think you understand the nature of multiple warhead nuclear ballistic missiles. They are very difficult to shoot down. N Korea has to be dealt with and I strongly suspect the Trump administration will do that.

  29. So why fire Comey ? Bannon said it was the most stupid move in political history. If Trump had kept his head the whole thing would have been over in a few months.

  30. Za za, they're still leaking. That's the nature of things on Capitol Hill you can never plug leaks. So again the question is why fire Comey ? All it did was get Jeff Session to recuse himself and Rod Rosenstein to appoint a special counsel.

  31. Hergbert, my apologies again : I still haven't addressed your contention. "Why a back channel ?" Well you are quite right other politicians have done it. Nixon, prior to his being elected POTUS sent Kissinger out to scupper the Vietnam/Paris peace talks. What he did was illegal. It is actually illegal to set up a back channel before you become POTUS. And what the Trumps were doing was MUCH worse : they wanted the FSB to set it up so it couldn't be monitored by US intelligence . That is treason.

  32. Z&N, I had to research NPC#. You could have explained it to me. It means a robot or some paid troll ; perhaps a Russian troll (" Are you listening Russia" - oh I forgot that was Trump)

  33. @America First , no I'm a unique type of Trump supporter : one that doesn't fall for bull$hit from EITHER side. Hillary perverted the course of justice way more than Trump. I support a border fence and tariffs against . But Trump is also an enormous liar. The Russians clearly have a connection with him and if you think he meant to say "wouldn't" you are a self deluded, half-witted ,brain-washed puddle-merchant.

  34. @America First , fair enough : you're saying Trump lied when he said "I meant to say wouldn't" but that that's not treason. Well I probably agree. Although it's the tip of the iceberg : we've no idea what was said during the 2hr meeting with Putin. I strongly suspect Trump, Kushner and the whole rotten racquet.

  46. This is a great story. The gun-shop guy wasn't taking any b.s.from Borat. Anyone who thinks Fox News is for mindless gun-toting morons should watch this item. I'd like to see a 1hr documentary on this. The gun-shop guy should have said, "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice .....you can't fool me twice". Or just tell Borat to STFU. Well done Fox News : this report shows it's not just a channel for malignant-minded half-wits.

  50. In the first Moroccan crisis (1906), Germany was flexing its muscles after the Russia's defeat by Japan (1905). At the Congress of Algecair the French PM ordered capitulation but his ambassador ignored him - then with British support Germany backed down. Also, the German ambassador to Rome told Berlin, "Don't rely on Italy" a) French instinct for capitulation b) Italy unreliable. A Nation's culture is like a personality. French capitulation, Italian unreliability are themes which recur. Russia also has a personality : it was described by Queen Victoria, "The great barbarians, destroyers of liberty and civilisation wherever it exists". Putin's war in Ukraine is a manifestation of Russia's personality.
