Yes I read it before replying, doesn't alter my view.
Don't think India will be dropped a few Rupees to arrange kick off with China, both seem capable of starting it on their own without assistance from anyone else.

Re: Chop suey anyone
So you saying Trump was the answer. That man was mentally unstable. With luck he will spend the rest of his days in Court trying to keep himself and his family out of jail. He was big mates with the sexual predator Epstein so they hopefully will nail the pervert with something there oh and they can drag the Queens favourite son in along with him.
Concerning what happens in America happens here the next day, well I hope you are right.

Re: Chop suey anyone
hi lewis
Trump i will take bets on him not being convicted, im not convinced he will not be. But i know a stitch up when it is placed in front of me, Whatever his right or wrongs maybe. ?
i have seen catholic priests defrocked so im not going to commit on that one only time will tell.?
im just stating that in my opinion instead of taking our eyes off the ball and watching others look closer to home whats that old adage, Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, i think that what biden is doing in america will have repercussions regarding personal freedoms like speech, etc etc etc, that in time will impact on this country,
please dont dismiss so easily

Re: Chop suey anyone
The left in America is as about as left as a Tony Blair government
Trump has been stitched up by who? He stacked the US supreme court in his favour and has still to win an argument.

Re: Chop suey anyone
Somehow I do not think he will be impeached, love him or hate him he still holds a lot of power within the republican movement.
Some years ago a bank manager told me of the Chindia syndrome.
The rise of China and India as the two most powerful nations.
Look at China now, very few ride on bicycles now, most drive BMW or similar made under license in China.
Our financial man was over there a couple of years ago and got a shock at what he saw,
Many are moving from the country regions to the cities, more money to be made there.
But China is smart, the Belt and Road concept will see them own half the world within a very short time.
They now own half of Sri Lanca, about three quarters of Cambodia and are getting a hold here in Oz.
Our state premier had borrowed some $7.9 billion to build a new river crossing tunnel.
The terms of payment. repay in 10 years time or we take it over.
That is now going on across the world with china.
Then there are people such as Elon Musk.
Claims to be every ones friend but in reality is only interested in making money.
Buys over a billion dollars worth of bitcoin, it goes up, he will no doubt now sell and make a killing.
Like so many others, only there for himself.

Re: Chop suey anyone
good morning lewis #16
i pointed out about biden and his cabal and the loss of free speech etc etc etc, this was after your post #5
i did not make hay other than to say be careful for what you wish for, i could have using the fact that bidens executive orders began with closer ties to china, and i was fore-warning of that danger.
Trump no matter how bitter you may seem to be about him or his manner cannot be held responsible for what he said, i have listened to american learned legal council discussing his very words and at no time did he invite or order the people to carry out anything other than a legal gathering, Was he foolish to go ahead was he guilty of mis-reading the crowd, maybe, but he cannot be held responsible under the american constitution so say the american legal council , But will the democrats find him guilty that is a different matter.

Re: Chop suey anyone
Thomas , we had a man here in Northern Ireland. I am sure the name you will know. The Reverend Ian Paisley I never heard him tell people to go and burn people out of their homes not once , but that did not stop the scum from doing that after leaving one of his rallies. Trump was a very dangerous man. He was a puppet for the Russians and the world is a safer place without the asshole.
