        Man, at least the original one had a good economy and lots of cocaine.

          Lend lease should light a fire under the collective Russian ass. Ukraine now has unlimited supplies rolling in, while Russia is struggling to find sources for high tech components for their tanks, missiles etc. Now if Europe can only get moving on phasing out Russian oil we can really speed up the decline of Russias military capabilities

            Since the elections, there has been talks between many left-wing parties to unite against Macron for the legislative elections.

            If we believe "some" polls, it looks like Macron might get fucked in the arse and the next Prime Minister will be a left-winger. I think I'mma take my ticket on the hype train of the union of the left

            It's not "done" yet, but we're heavily headed toward there

              Mélenchon didn't already announce he will run for PM?

                Technically, he cannot "run" for PM. The PM is chosen by the president in accord with the National Assembly. So we'll see -if the union happens and wins- who will be PM (and who will be part of the government).

                And yeah he seems to adamantly believe in the negotiations for the union. He's just campaigning before even the union is made I guess

                          Well, I mean, they had a vote for it, and they went with staying, so…

                          Plus, there wasn't that whole "Plantation of Ulster" thing with Scotland.

                              As poorly equipped as the Bundeswehr is in some cases, I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up the same way here. Good that we have stopped starting wars…..

                                I wanted to take issue with this statement, but as I was about to type a notification on some local headline news cropped up stating "Police are appealing for information after a woman was squirted by a water pistol."

                                We used to be so cool. What the hell happened to that?

                                    As if to prove me wrong here's a well deserved bit of news for us in blighty.

                                    I'm glad we came second to Ukraine. What a clear and positive message that sends to the people on the ground.

                                    In other news it seems NATO has accepted Finland, with Sweden hot on their heels. It'll be very interesting to see how Putin decides to punish them.

                                          Well he's trying to push a 1915 Boogaloo on the PKK and other Kurdish political and armed groups, so I don't thing the crazy turkish dictator is only wanting a bribe.

                                                  In this particular instance it’s more of a point and laugh.

                                                      Hmmm, so that's what they teach at the George W. Bush institute :ninja:

                                                      Anyways, it made me think about the Trump and Jimmy Fallon mirror "interview" that made people believe that the douche had some self-mockery

                                                        How can he pull a 1915 on the Kurds without those F-35s?

                                                            But I think Lizzy wanted to be with her husband.
