    Most of us realize that Putin is the most intelligent leader in the world today and even his sense of humour is on equal terms with Nigel Farage.
    Someone needs to stop the Americans. Better Putin than Kim Jong-un.

    Considering your logo is a STOP NATO sign, it is not surprising you would write something this silly

    You might think Kim Jong-un is the better man for the job, but not I. If there is any nuking to do Putin will take careful aim while Kimmy may wipe out the whole continental USA plus Canada and parts of Baja, Sonora, Chihuahua, and Nuevo Leon. I don't know about you but I have nothing against the majority of Americans so any nukes should be minimal and surgical. Putin understands that, Kim does not.

    Nato's existence is a threat to the world and the sooner it dissolves, the safer the world will be.

    I'm sure the East Europeans will dance in the streets when they see your post. When will you send it to them? I have a friend in Hungary you can send it to now.

    LOL. America? Fear the mice that squeak? If Putin and Kim are America’s greatest danger, then America will last an eternity, as a free nation, as an economic power, and as a beacon of the Enlightenment illuminating the path to liberty, peace, and prosperity for the future of Man.

    Putin and Kim May end up as a footnote in American history, but as our greatest threat? Not even surreal, let alone real.

    I smell Russian ploys on this website.

    (If someone thinks they can throw in a reference to Trump and Russia here, First: you're not original, or clever; and Second: send it to Bob Mueller instead. He'd love to hear it.)

    Russia is a mouse compared to the good old days of the Cold War. Their economy is on a par with the state of Texas. They have difficulty just dealing with poorly-armed Ukrainians and puny Syria. Alcoholism is still rampant in the military and civilian sectors. They have nothing to offer the world but oil which is shrinking in price.

    N. Korea has an economy equal to the state of New Hampshire. It's own soldiers have to furlough to look for food let alone the rest of the population outside of Pyongyang which is always one missile launch away from starvation.

    LOL. Exactly. Just how brilliant and moral is an intellect that extols the virtues of Putin and Kim, and belittles the moral greatness and the outstanding achievements of peace and prosperity of America.

    Before America and its exhalation and enshrinement of liberty, all of humanity lived in a hell of proverty and despair. After her creation? Jets, spaceships, vaccinations, immunizations, organ transplants, open heart surgery, nuclear power, computers, cars, TVs, smart phones, and Saturday night at the movies with popcorn and sitting in the balcony with your girl.

    Dance? Maybe. But they will definitely breathe a huge sigh of relief to know they won't be duped into another illegal war concocted by the U.S.

    Washington isn't frightened by any of those fantasies of yours. It is the nuclear capabilities of Russia, N.Korea, China, and Iran that has American diplos pissing in their britches:cynic:. What is really funny (yes, ha-ha funny ) is that U.S. posturing has made the probability of those aforementioned nations coordinating their capabilities increasingly high. :date:

    Start cutting up your white sheets and stock up on flagpoles.

    Considering that your logo is NOT a Stop NATO sign, it is not surprising that you buy into NATO propaganda.

    And I smell, "With us or against us" and "Blame it on the Russians!"

    Yep. Just as I thought.

    It was appropriate to this thread, which I notice you have gone way off and to what I was answering.

    You are correct the date I gave from wiki was 2011. They did another in 2017 including oil Production. - same limitations as before but unlike some scardy cats in the US, France is committed to address climate disaster.
    France Approves World's First Ban on Fracking and Oil Production

    A new report has come out which asserts that by 2050 the number of people made homeless through rising sea level will be three times as high as expected - that is about 300,000,000 people.

    and even that like all the other reports will be updated as we go through experiencing the disgusting mess we have created in the last 20-30 years, not least by American wars....and is also hoping that we do not hit a tipping point which would cause runaway disaster. Such a tipping point would be a Summer ice free arctic. Many scientists believe this is likely just a few years away. One when asked what he believed we could best do to save the planet said 'Find a way to keep the ice on the Arctic'.

    It's easy to ban something you're not doing and never be able to do since you have zero oil reserves on your territory.
    France, like Germany is totally dependent on the Middle-East and Russia for it's fuel.

    Many scientist... Many scientist believed that bleeding someone could cure all diseases also. Many scientist have believed in pretty silly things over the year. 40 years ago they predicted a new ice age. Now they're predicting the opposite.

    As for your jabs at "american wars", let me remind you again that the present day clusterfuck is the direct result of YOUR COUNTRY arbitrary border drawing and colonial conquest. In short you're projecting.

    No there is no projecting there. These wars were for various reasons which suited the US's current desires. However I did think after it that I should have as I often do included the UK because I have found more often than not there we are right beside the US involved in unsavoury activities whether in Yemen or Syria - many of these activities they keep very quiet about so I do accept that the Britisah Government is standing with the US. There has not been a British Government which I have supported since the 80's. In the 60-80's we had a small time when we genuinely seemed to be working democratically but neo liberalism sent that packing as it did in the rest of the West when they took it up. Mind you the time you are talking about was before Britain became a democracy and hence before the people had a responsibility. I trust you will also be working to end Israeli Colonialism. ;)

    Here is a link to talk of the new study which indicates that by 2050 300 million people will be needing homes.

    Britain was a democracy in the 20's and 40's...
    Can you name those colony that Israel have? Last I check, I didn't see any foreign recognized country being exploited and raped like the UK did on the 5 continents.
    Do you know what a colony is?

    The Sykes Peacock which was the blueprint for that colonial activity was 1916. Britain did not get Universal suffrage till 1918. This however is all well off topic. The wars which have been led by the US in the last 20 years have massively contributed to the crises our planet now faces. That is what is of reverence to this thread - not who did not....and you can put the UK and everyone else in for all I care but the US is the biggest contaminater and we should all become aware the danger these wars put ourselves in.

    The reality is that war now puts all of our futures in danger.

    It takes two to tango and those "wars" were the results of aggression by the other side, not the US.
    This thread is about polution. Why aren't you protesting what the new colonial power that is China presently responsible for the vast majority of industrial polution in Asia and what they're doing in the Niger delta? Why target the USA who has steadilly reduced it's polution since the 60's but not India, Rusia and China who keep increasing theirs?

    Keep believing it. Frankly, I wouldn't mess with Russia. Isn't that what Napoleon and Hitler did?

    Forecast for New York, 2050: Some wind, some calm; some rain, some sun; some clouds, some bright blue skies; some snow, ice, and cold, some winter thaws, spring breezes, and pre-summer warmth.

    The population: Popping popcorn, watching movies, writing novels, singing songs, creating art, going to work, eating steaks, dancing, falling in love, having babies, raising children, visiting Mars, and Honeymooning on the Moon.

    And you doomsayers are afraid of what? Too much happiness. Silly mortals, goodness is eternal; it will
    always win. And if it hasn’t, it mean’s the battle is still being fought. Wanna bet?

    And what a wonderful world



    It will be
