Not at all . Forty odd million people with vast resources We should be awash in money yet successive governments have been pissing it away since the end of WW1 . We killed our cod industry on the east coast due to government ineptitude , and fast on the way to put the final nails in the west cost fisheries coffin . Due to the same .The richest country in the world?
Delusional.
When have we ever not been on the brink of disaster?
I don't know why the Napoleonic wars aren't called World War I. They involved every continent and every ocean on the planet.

Trump-Zelensky: What it was like in the room during shouting match

2. Poster's Comment:
The White House B$ King was getting increasingly impatient and irritated by his Ukrainian counterpart's demand of a US ironclad guarantee of his nation's sovereignty in any peace negotiation with Russia. He showed no interest in anything other than Ukraine's rare earth mineral resources.
Using an analogy, when a selfish guy saw a ferocious crocodile dragging his "dearest friend" by the leg into the river, he just kept shouting instead of saving him:
"You don't have a (trump) card. Just keep your mouth shut and let the beast bite off your leg. At least you can keep yourself alive with your remaining leg to repay my family all your massive loans from my senile brother!"
If there is ever another meeting between the two men, the Ukrainian leader could try to ease the tension by humouring his US counterpart with Hongkong actor Andy Lau's humorous Cantonese "said also don't listen" quote:
说了又不听
听了又不懂
不懂又不问
问了又不做
做了又做错
错了又不认
认了又不改
改了又不服
不服又不说
The following is a rough translation taken from mrbrown.com
Said Also Don't Listen
Listen Also Don't Understand
Don't Understand Also Don't Ask
Ask Also Don't Do
Do Also Do Wrong
Wrong Also Don't Admit
Admit Also Don't Correct
Correct Also Not Happy
Not Happy Also Don't Say
Hmm!

P.S. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian leader should spend his days learning the Cantonese language so as to pronounce the above Chinese words as perfectly as possible. If he mispronounces them, the outcome could be worse than that of the first meeting!
Hold your opinions until Putins ally Iran gets thumped in the very near future.
I’m assuming this was a straight up ambush & Trump/Vance we’re disappointed by his lack of reaction, and his calm cool collected attempts at conversation & debate while they were trying to get him to freak out.Since Zelenskiy isn't exactly a knight in shining armour, I'm wondering if he was actually broadsided, or in on the act?Trump and Vance looked like they had rehearsed the whole thing.
Russia has problems with Chinese incursions in Siberia, and is broke.
Actual knights in shining armour where not not knights in shining armour as we picture them today.…isn't exactly a knight in shining armour…
As they proved at Agincourt, the Welsh word for "knight in shining armour" is "target."Actual knights in shining armour where not not knights in shining armour as we picture them today.![]()
It’s the agility factor .As they proved at Agincourt, the Welsh word for "knight in shining armour" is "target."
Trump made the EU a Super Power...the only Super Power.
He also made Ukrainian civilians easy targets for Bedpan's homicidal mania. What a swell guy. What a fucking loser actually. Willing to destroy countries just because he and their leaders had a tiff during his previous term.Trump made the EU a Super Power...the only Super Power.
Check the numbers...
Hey! That's the President of the United States you're talking about!He's a toddler throwing a tantrum and he's willing to throw millions of people under the bus just so he can get his.
