        Anything you want to debate? Seems like you think you know a lot about geopolitical economics?

              I believe he would find O'Connell street a road too far. But, to digress. I have been availing myself of the finest dunking commestible in the world recently (Must get some more for Thursday), Bonio. There I have said it aloud.
              Do not add anything, no need but dunk away in your favourite hot drink of the day. Cammomile or lemon and ginger with a little honey atm. Homer Simpson would approve.
              I know, many would have me hang my head in shame but this particular fetish came about from camping in sub zero temps and these things tend to be ingrained.
              I wonder, could the all night chemist be persuaded to deliver something less chemical that is good for the soul?

                READ THIS

                Thing are happening with Trump now

                He is moving is to lower taxes for the very wealthy, Remember Bezos and musk was up on the podium with Trump when won,

                I propose that all trumps moves are designed to tank the US economy. It all seems too tactical to me. what if the plan is to tank the economy and the Shares ( I think market loss is minus 5 Trillion dollars so far if it (which it will) billionaires like Musk, Bezos, Trump and others can buy short stocks wile the market is tanking and buy stocks at Rock bottom prices and invest in there own companies. Economy rises they will have a much bigger share of these Companies.
                They will be trillionaires not billionaires. Trump is trying to stop Trump haters and jail them in Minnesota the are trying to pass a bill called "TDS" . It means "Trump derangement syndrome" Sounds like I am joking? (Look it up)
                Even though there is no medical evidence. If passed this bill will enable the US to consider anybody who stands against trump to be arrested and put them in a "mental Institution"
                If that is not ringing alarms I do not know what will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                This is my theory not something cut and pasted from youtube or whatever. I am not saying thsis is true, but honestly when you put the pieces together

                        To be fair, the trade defecit has reached eye watering levels some time ago and that cannot be sustained.

                        The thing is HOW it is done rather than it being done at all.

                        Sidling up to putin and dumping on just about everyone else does nobody any good.

                          Yes How, I am in totally aware of the deficit and how much the US owes. It is not sustainable. But you do not solve anything by tanking the economy. and making enemies of friends. loosing many billions of dollars on the sale of the F35 peoples are considering the Swedish Grippen. And I will bet my bottom dollar on the world will stop buying Boing and buy the Airbus. Us has a great need for aluminium for the boing imagine the price of a 737 with a 25% tariff and the aluminium component. What about putting 25% Tarif on a rolls Royce engine?
                          Absolutely crazy, full on crazy. Bloodbath for the US economy, bloodbath and the repercussions will hit us all

                          Went to the market to buy Mandarins a few days ago and the were grown in the US, I bought oranges

                            My thoughts exactly. This sh*tshow is bad for everyone -except for Russia and China.

                            I'm guessing Trump is wooing Putin because he'd like to drive a wedge between the Russians and the Chinese, but honestly, I'd be surprised if that worked. I'm rather sure, on the other hand, that he'll manage to diminish the US's standing and influence.

                            Also, if Trump and Musk continue to dismantle the American government, they'll likely leave the US's democracy in an perilous state. Which is worrisome.

                              Hi Guys< take my word for this please. I came up with a scenario on what Trump and musk are up to (above post) I posted that post 6 days ago coincidently, as this video was released 6 days ago, but I only found this in my YT algorithm about an hour ago (I swear) This guy has brought up almost the exact scenario. What i saw in trumps is that his actions are exactly what you would need to do to tank an economy, I saw the pattern very, very clearly. Then I saw this Video I was so shocked as in the back of my mind I was questioning my metal health, I posted the the question to an AI bot. It said the concept above had possibility. But also pointed out that there would be checks and balances in place within admiration. I wounder maybe trump is trashing and gutting institutions as a smokescreen that he is also getting rid of those that do these "Checks and balances" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1OLNnRRAC4

                                I watched a video called "I Asked AI If Trump Is a RUSSIAN ASSET. And Here’s What It Said" It is balanced and not conspiracy platform, nor is it definitive, is interesting however Chat GTP breaks down some interesting things about trumps nature and motivation. If you have a bit of spare time I think is is worth a look

                                  Seriously, watch too much of that crap and you will be chewing pink Smarties, wearing a fetching tightly sleeved romper suit in a hotel room with very soft wallpaper, got nothing on Cushell etc.

                                  While the allegations are at least 99% accurate, you have to remember the agenda of anti social media actors like that.

                                  Personally my reliance on that bullshit for any kind of considered opinion on anything, let alone current events is somewhat below sub zero on the 'cool' wall.

                                  Personally, putin and trumplet could join ping and xi in the next artificial reef somewhere deep and cold, feeding the phishes was never so much fun.

                                    No, I use a lot of sources to find out things that interest me. Chat GTP is very accurate and objective and is certainly accurate. I will continue to use it. And about me chewing pink pills You only see what I post here. I am not obsessed but finding out and research what I please. This world feels like it is balancing on a knife edge from so many ways. If it sounds in any way that I am a conspiracy theorist I am certainly am not I like the game of finding the truth, it normally takes a while but I enjoy the game.

                                      Sorry.

                                          It simply scoops up information it finds around the internet.

                                          I've made it write short articles on Dutch and Flemish writers, and believe me, what it came up with was quite often way off.

                                          I'm not sure, btw, Trump wants to tank the US economy. Never attribute to malice that which etc.

                                          I'm guessing you guys heard about the Signal thing. These people are dumb.

                                            Signal thing, yeh so crazy and incapable, the FBI woman being questioned by the senator, saying that what was passed on was not classified so it could be disseminated then the senator "ok if it was not classified show me what it was".................silence! What about trump saying Ukraine attacked Russia? you could not make this stuff up. It seems s to me that trump is making an oligarchy, even with my objective head on, He (it) is dismantling the US government checks and balances bit by bit. He is taking an axe to the courts of the land which would and getting rid of anybody how stands in his way. Some might say if we could get rid of him Vance would step up, what a mess we are in. The Australian Leader has stated publicly that Australia can no longer trust or rely upon the US government I am am thinking that other leader are saying the same. In Aus. we have a facility called pine gap which is top secret American "over the horizon radar" what sort of what would we do with that US critical US infrastructure if are Governments distance the US? Never in my life had I ever given the thought.Why is trump siding up to putting, WTF
