  1. How the fans of DJT from outside of the US look now.
  2. 1:”Trump is great, everything he does is right, if you don’t like him you’re a mental cuck” 2: Trump shows he’ll invade anywhere he likes, including territory of allies for decades, brazenly steals the oil industry/resources of other countries and talks about invading others all on obvious BS pretexts. 3: Trump fans looking to divert attention from their error “Its our leader’s faults” (not a word of criticism of Trump) Looks a lot like TDS (Trump derangement Syndrome) sufferers were bang on the money to me.
  3. Cuba defiant as it braces for post-Maduro era BBC.COM The prospects for Cuba - a close ally of Nicolás Maduro's Venezuela - are now bleak, writes the BBC's Will Grant. Interesting short article about the Cuba/Venezuela connection and the Monroe/Donroe doctrine.
  4. Be interesting how the TDS (Trump dick suckers) react if Trump walks in and claims Greenland. I already sense some of them have backed off a bit on the unfettered hero worship, unsure how to spin recent events.

  6. Mornin’ Stubs et al. Dusting of snow here, some decent oaks to dismantle, part of a three day job. Yesterday the throttle cable on the 230 froze, luckily the other contractor had a TW165 on the job, a bit more more shedding and preparing, but an impressive little machine, saved the day for us.
  7. Ok Les, bit out of the blue.
  8. I would improve their metallurgical skills so they could create steam power, thus bringing forward the Industrial Revolution by 1700 years.

  10. Mornin’ Stubs et al. Minus 6 here. Bloody old house gets hard to keep warm when it’s this cold. Clear and bright though, so the back to work shouldn’t be too grim.
  11. I am comparing Venezuela to Ukraine, not Russia.
  12. Thing is Les, recent events in Venezuela have dispelled any lingering doubts about any moral superiority of the US compared to the Ruskies. They are just much better at taking over countries.
  13. I mean it’s all theoretical, but if you stop paying soldiers or if they run out of bullets things come to a head pretty quickly.

  15. I guess we are entering a new age. This latest act will cement his authority at home. The US (under DJT) is no longer a reliable ally, and is rapidly becoming a existential threat to many other countries previously thought safe. How long before he walks into Greenland? Who is going to stop him?
  16. Pm sent
  17. Trump’s snatching of Maduro shows a new level of unrestrained global power | CNN WWW.CNN.COM Expressions of unbridled power don’t come blunter than abducting a sitting president from his capital in the dead of night. An analysis from CNN (short read)
  18. …..
  19. Trump says that the US will run Venezuela and American oil companies will run the oil business. 36 hours to take a country and not a single American soldier killed. If it was a film you’d say it was too far fetched. Meanwhile hundreds of thousands Russian soldiers dead and cities reduced to rubble in a war in stalemate. An extraordinary day in history.
  20. I think Richard Court had the Dalrymple one, he certainly was renovating a matador in his yard 15 or so years ago.
  21. iirc, and I’m happy to be wrong. For many TOs 3 years is too short a timeframe for a re-reduction of a tree. You’d have to provide a convincing argument for a removal, not just that you’ll plant another. Charge her a hundred quid or so for your time and say you’ll knock it off if she hires you to do the work You will have no responsibility and they won’t chase you if someone else butchers it.
  22. Extraordinary really, it really has to be enforced regime change, which is surprising when you considered his previous stance on meddling in ‘shithole’ countries. You have to really have to had swallowed the blue pill if you believe it’s about drugs or fair elections. Credit to the yanks though, getting in there quickly and kidnapping Maduro really shows the Russians how to achieve a fait accompli.
  23. Possibly just after a regime change to a more pliant government for their purposes.
  24. It was always my feet when I used to beat, could never seem to get them up to temperature.
