In the further interst of balance it was the Americans who created armed and trained the towek heads at the time. Before that time there was no Taliban nor Alqaida. It was created for the sole pupose of removing a socialist government from Afghanistan and replacing it with a dick-tatorship.

Lordo. I'm not going to get into a torturous argument about Afghanistan with you because that isn't of course what this thread's all about. You did though say the US was chased out of Afghanistan by "a bunch of towel heads" - or whatever. I pointed out that - actually - so were the Russians for that matter. FWIW, I don't believe either of them were "chased out" as such. In that context, who did this or that in Afghanistan's history is irrelevant. After protracted campaigns both countries left there ignominiously.

As an aside, I've spent a lot of time on political forums and have taken part in "debates" (Why do we use that word? It's a misnomer) with many left-wingers. I've probably just followed quite a lot more, out of interest. I don't believe in all of those I've ever come across a person with left-wing views who's seemed happy with their lives. All appear consumed with anger and bitterness. The more extreme their views the more extreme the rage. I just wondered whether you're happy with your life? You come across - and here GR seems much the same - as a simmering and very angry individual. Forums providing an outlet of course.

Are you not least bit of ashamed that the yanks have created the taliban which has caused havoc to the Afghanis? I would be if I was you.

Anyway enough said, I think I have made my point.

You stupid Plonker
Allah created the Taliban you fool.

what?

Interestingly the bastards created the taliban before even the Russians interved in Afghanistan.

Can you believe it?

Enjoy.

I'm not sure why should I be ashamed. What did I have to do with it? Or you for that matter.

No response to the left-wing anger thing? You said you never ignored a question a short while ago.

Anyone that supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine is also supporting Turkey's invasion of Cyprus.i will not mince my words, those who support this barbaric invasion are fucking idiots. I can understand the Psychos views he is sick, but anyone else is a fucking useless bastard.

May I remind you that you also supported Russia in the beginning? You then suddenly switched sides just to be politically correct.
There are many similarities between the Turkish Invasion in Cyprus and the Russian Invasion in Ukraine, however there is an equal number of stark differences. Basically what Turkey did, is the same as what the Israelis did and continue to do against the Palestinians. Ethnic cleansing, stealing lands and properties, and colonizing. Obviously this is not what Russia is trying to do in Ukraine.

If we were to be politically correct then we should all have concentrated out of "proedriko" and burn it down by the minute Anastasio turned Israel to our friend and partner imish.

You did not mention how the British were as well for that matter, three times between 1839 and 1919 actually.

You literally need to get out more. The notion that such a correlation has any sort of existence at all outside of the myopic prejudice within your own head is frankly laughable. imo. A much simpler model that clearly does match actual reality in some way is one that acknowledges there are unhappy and angry and bitter people in the group that you would stuff in the box 'left' as there are 'right'. Of course such a model will not bring you as much personal comfort as your frankly ludicrous one does but that is another matter.

unhappy angry and bitter or not. right or left.

Starting to see any issue with your ridiculous global assertion yet ? Want me to go on ?

I just wondered whether you're happy with your life? You come across - and here GR seems much the same - as a simmering and very angry individual. Forums providing an outlet of course.

Back to your speciality. plus ça change.

I was "talking" to Lordo.

Welcome back though Erolz, Still got the Remainer ("democrat") Brexit hump I see.

Normally, you'd just drop in for a quick pop at Paphitis. His being next on the list, after you did such an excellent hatchet job on Tim and CG over Covid (12th June, 12th June, 12th June ). Then, to disappear for another 6-12 months. The man who once called me a "drive by poster". Never short on hypocrisy ("democrat").

Do me a favour? Block me? It's the new "thing". Then you wouldn't be offended by my posts and I'd be spared your sanctimonious drivel. Sounds like win/win to me.

The measure takes effect from April 1.

Yesterday, the Gasprom head was saying that they would accept euros on this (short notice) occasion, but today Putin is saying something else!

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that from tomorrow foreign buyers of Russian gas will have to pay in roubles by opening a Russian bank account or have their contracts cancelled

So we’re still not out of the woods then!

Ohps ok, here goes. I am not agry for anything. I do feel the pain of all those people who suffer under this myth that in the west life is wonderful. Well it aint. Even in America thare are over 50 million people who are below poverty line.

Here according to the government own figures by increasing insurnce allowance to 12500 it will put 6 million workers out of having to pay tax and insurance as if that is an achievement. Put the 4 million people who are unemployed and that makes 10 million people having to live with less than 12500 per year. How does anybody who agrees with this system never mind loves this system sleep at night.

I kno whow the old mand does it, he drinks himself to sleep.

Sorry and all that, I did not think you really wanted an answer. Far from angry I am just aware and oppose in a peaceable way.

Scholz has seemed between a rock and a hard place.

He's been under a lot of EU/US pressure and given the impression he'd like to cut off his country's use of Russian gas. A move which - despite the frequent absurd claim in here that all such things only make Russia better off - would have profound implications for their economy. But the impact uon German industry would be fairly devastating and the political fallout for him, in his present position as heir to St Angela, considerable.

If the gas were cut off by Putin though, after Germany refused to acquiesce to bullying? Well, in that case it wouldn't really be his fault.
