I agree. Depression is not an excuse. I was only correcting a point.

Agreed!

Not saying he deserves pitty or anything, but depression doesn’t depend on outside things and events. He could do what you say and still be depressed. Have no problems in the world and still be depressed. Turn into a golden god of love and still be depressed. It’s in the brain.

As I understand it, each country decided. But I’m not a NATO scholar. I’d be happy for someone more knowledgeable to chime in.

They can’t even take one country, let alone “Europe”. Would it be better with the US in our corner? For sure. But to think the current Russia could take anything except for small parts here and there is laughable. And this only because mother Russia doesn’t give a shit about her children.

Of course it will drive inflation. But printing will be done.

Of course he can be criticised, go right ahead. I don’t care. But let’s also be honest. We are no saints. No matter what, he will never be elected to anything again ever. Just huffing and puffing is fairly pointless and makes people look blustering, not principled.

To be fair, it is only volatile because you view it from the perspective of something you feel is stable (perhaps USD). If you instead viewed other currencies from the view of, let’s say, bitcoin then the other currencies would be fluctuating wildly. It’s a bit like Alabama and time: it’s all relative.

Did a quick search. Didn’t find it. Please enlighten us. Sounds fun.

Curmudgeon. I aim to please.

I didn’t think there would be a pun in there but, man, you found it! 👍

It might well be. Thing is, no-one wants war. If the west wanted war, they wouldn’t need a broken cable for it.
