Nope. Espadrilles are now called Sketchers or Vans. - keep up. (Surely youâve seen the Kelly Brooks Ads, woof woof)
Brogues are still mandatory in DIFC, you can get Chinese knock offs of them in Karama these days.
Actually there is an idea. China makes knock offs of everything these days, even fake Head & Shoulders or Johnsons Baby Shampoo. Surely the GermansFrench etc could pick up some knock off Cruise Missiles or Euro fighters from them.
With such Political expertise at faking expense claims Iâm sure they could get a few dodgy receipts together to show Donald
Youâve almost answered your own question with the âif anythingâ part.
NATO doesnât need replacing. If the original idea was to prevent the world from erupting in nuclear conflagration, or to contain the ideological spread, then both of those conditions are either met or as met as theyâre gonna get. It was a provocation and a mistake to have invited former Warsaw Pact countries. In any event, its original purpose is done.
What we have now is dangerous.
It provokes, allows smaller nations to pursue more truculent paths than they could otherwise. That kind of arrangement has caused calamity in the past. The closest this world ever came to being destroyed by its present occupants was in 1962. That was down to the Soviets wanting to put missiles in Cuba. If the US wouldnât accept the proximity back then, I find it quite amazing that the US believes it can virtually encircle Russia and China without some kind of long term harm.
Imperialism and US exceptionalism needs to be replaced. NATO is just part of that.
BTW Pap. You did read that stuff about Russia positioning nukes on the Polish âborderâ couple of weeks back?
Itâs been a few years since they joined EU & NATO.
Are you suggesting admitting them to EU so there is another duty to protect them was a mistake?
Youâre a closet UKIP arenât you? Youâll be burning down Polish Delis next
Positioning nukes is one thing, especially when they happen to be within your own borders. Youâre making out like this has happened in isolation though, which really isnât the case. If the Russians did position their nuclear weapons closer to the Polish border, itâs likely in response to the accretion of NATO forces there. Weâre talking a defensive posture.
Letâs compare and contrast the current US policy toward nuclear weapons. Weâre talking about a nation that has spent the past four decades making nuclear weapons thinkable. Missile defence, or Star Wars, is as much about being able to win a nuclear war as it is about survival. If it actually works, itâs a means of providing first-strike capability unchallenged. The Middle East is littered with depleted uranium shells, while the new breed of âtacticalâ nuclear weapons is just waiting to be tied up and implemented.
US bigwigs believe theyâre the sole superpower. The present efforts of the US have been about consolidating that false position. If push actually comes to shove, the world will pay. Europe will be one of its first customers.
Interesting comments allegedly coming out today from Trump regarding US Policy pre his election in the Middle East
Remember Trump builds things and has a long relationship business wise down this way even if they didnât get built (yet)
Russia IS the obvious and quickest solution in Syria (unless you wear sandals and want 100,000 people to die so you can feel good about Bashar getting whats due to him NOW) and Trump may be moving that way
WHAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DIDNâT WANT YOU TO KNOW:
Trump explains the situation in Syria and that he will work together with Russia to combat ISIS.
He will stop US-financing of âmoderate jihadistsâ.
He explains that he was against all US wars in the Middle East and that it was a big mistake to kill Saddam and Gaddafi.
What we have learnt from the last 25 years of wars and occupations in the middle east is they arenât ready for democracy and will still follow religious and tribal lines not the ballot box, they need revolution and we simply have to let them get on with it, theyâll have to fight for their freedom and religious liberties the way we did 500 years ago.
Its not our war to fight, weâve tried and failed spectacularly.
Trump has only gone and picked a Breitbart head honcho as his chief strategist (EDIT: Cheers, SWDP).
Executive chairman of Breitbart news, although stepped aside for the election campaign
A graduate of Georgetown University and Harvard Business School, former US Navy officer and investment banker at Goldman Sachs
Conservative documentary film-maker who produced films celebrating Reagan, Sarah Palin and the Tea Party
Seen as in conflict with the traditional Republican establishment and has been called a racist and right-wing extremist by some members of his own party
Breitbart update. As most will know, Iâve taken issue with it due to itâs rather contradictory reason for being. Turns out that the Trump campaign ripped the guts out of it, with many of their number resigning in protest.
Stephen Bannon resigned so he could join the Trump campaign. Lordy. Almost certainly the progenitor of the ban on Muslims idea.
Your reply was the crux - The Middle East was not ready for Democracy. Yet the âWestâ led by Neo Liberals âEncouragedâ democracy which has caused carnage. Who influenced that? Who benefits?
Letâs see whether a âNewâ solution to Syria could be found. Iâm no Trumpite but my views on that mess and the solution (as supported by THE SILENT MAJORITY in Syria remains - stabilise the nation, transition the nation THEN sort out Assad by giving him a retirment option rather than continuing to stir shit so they can sell bombs & guns is on record and should save thousands of lives.
Just remember the most popular and loved President of the modern era had the same shit start from the Neoâs
