in a scene reminiscent of the fall of saigon, the usa embassy staff have been evacuated by helicopter.. for a third time in asia ( a fourth, if you count usa supported chiang kai shek's defeat in mainland china) usa supported forces have been defeated.
more than 1 trillion dollars wasted and a huge deathtoll (both sides) afghanistan is back to where it started,.
will the taliban behave differently this time ?
I understand why the West went into Afghanistan - to clear out the Taliban and catch Bin Laden - but they sadly didn't really have a long-term plan.
Joe Biden - a supposed feminist - has abandoned Afghani women to the misogynist Taliban, who are notorious for treating women and girls as young as 12 as sex slaves and chattel. Weird, huh ...
thousands of migrants have come to england this year, already beating last year's total.. some may have fled syria and other war-torn countries; others are economic migrants.. let me try to get my head around this phenomenon: migrants are relatively safe in france and other countries.
they then leave the relative safety of continental europe and risk their lives and that of their children by crossing the english channel in rubber dinghies.
there's just no fixing stupid, is there .
trying to get away from probable certain death in their war ravaged country - but, Stan, they're travelling to the UK from France.
And last time I checked, France isn't a war-torn country.
You're gonna have to do better than that, lol.
will we close down again?
will we be masked forever?
will we be required to get vaccinated over and over again?
Covid is as high as it was back in February where only 10% had a shot. Now 70% have the shot and the numbers are high again - but number of deaths per day are down.
The vaccines are working.

We may need to have boosters, like vulnerable people do to protect against the flu virus.
As for the virus itself, it is likely to evolve variants that are more infectious but less dangerous to the host. This is a trade-off that most types of virus make. Any health official telling you new variants might be more dangerous are usually just scaremongering.
We'll learn to live with the virus. I think there could be local lockdowns if hospitalisations rise during winter but I don't think there will be another total lockdown.

you and others like LUHE have not told me how the U.K absorbing just over 20,000 asylum seekers per annum is a "Migrant Crisis" - just over 20, 000 migrants crossing the channel in rubber dinghies is a very serious matter.
It's utterly ridiculous to try and cross the channel in this manner when you can just walk across a land border to Germany or Belgium.
I don't know how many migrants have thus far drowned in the channel but it's very sad.
But, as Simon says, it's on them.
And when there are children in the dinghies then their parents are to blame.
one thing i've learnt over the years is to read between the lines.. that means reading statements carefully.. if you have never met someone, would you say "i have never met them" or would you say "i don't remember ever meeting them"?.
the latter is just a get-out out in case evidence is presented that you did in fact meet them, because there is a photo of you with your arm around them in the upstairs of a pedo's friends, girlfriends house, which you also claim you never went to.. what will happen if the us jails a uk royal?
who knows.. before then i just hope he does another of those "utterly convincing" bizarre interviews to "prove" how he couldn't have done it because he is incapable of sweating (cut to photo of sweating andrew).
Andrew denies any wrong doing on his part and denies seeing any wrong doing on Epstein's part.
Of course he does.
One key thing is to consider is this: why does Andrew refuse to say any of this under oath in a US court?
It's definitely suspicious behaviour.
I think he should be extradicted to the US and forced to give testimony under oath.
in one form or another i've been a member of this site for almost 10 years.
in the past this was a great place for debate, news and support for ex jws.
i logged on several times a day and posted several times a week.
in the past few years I've noticed this site is becoming more and more based around politics
Er, hang on a sec.
This forum has always had political threads.
Maybe this site was more left-leaning in the past and now it's more right-leaning?
And maybe that is what you don't like about this site.
Just thinking out loud here, please don't be offended.

@Phizzy & Slim - you're delusional.
If you think people crossing the Channel in dinghies isn't a crisis, then I just don't know what to say.
Migrants are relatively safe in continental Europe. Then they put themselves and/or their children in rubber dinghies and 'trust in God', or whatever. And that is pretty retarded.
If they don't like the way France treats them, moving to Belgium or Germany or Liechtenstein is a hell of a lot safer than crossing the Channel.
Like I said, you can't fix stupid.
Stupid is as stupid does.

It's not stupid LUHE, it's about taking your country - this may be the intention of some of the migrants. But all of them? I'm not so sure.
Plus, some of them aren't even Muslims, anyway.
