    My small country, a mere cipher, has had stacks upon stacks of nuclear weapons pointed at it as long as I've lived. The strange threat of total and immediate annihilation by a foreign power we can barely get an interview with, that's what makes them lead us. We have no will and our opinion is of no use.

    To think there are Americans that think it's strange that I am interested in their politics.

    Sport! How's life in England? Any random shots fired at you or more specifically, immigrants, in the name of Freedom?

    I can't speak for Pete, but I haven't seen much of that.

    We did just avoid another tube strike, here in fancy London.

    London = country

    They have armed themselves with sharpened, fragmentation apples to which the only response is liquid oranges. No one has yet gone nuclear (Ribena cordial).

    Capital, old bean! Not a single shot fired at myself, immigrants or anyone else on planet England. How're things in the Australasian galaxy?

    “We actually thank this new president [Trump]! We thank him, because he made it easier for us to reveal the real face of the United States."

    Apparently the supreme leader of Iran said this in a speech. It is kind of funny, in a

    [​IMG]
    kind of way.

    Dunno, might be something to do with American/CIA interference in Iran, starting with the overthrow of democracy in the 1950s coup to bolster the rule of the Shah (Freedom, lol) and protect anglo-american oil interests there. It may be that - after being repeatedly ****ed over for 65 years in the name of 'Freedom' and all sorts of other glib, high-minded hogwash - actually having someone who's pretty honest about being a self-seeking, psychopathic fascist at the wheel of USS 'Murica might be refreshing. In a weird kind of way. Bless his stubby little fingers and his mad, orange face. I mean, it might just be that Trump is the American archetype and more than one person might recognise that.

    It seems more likely that Ender is the Persian supreme leader, though. I'll grant you that.

    In other news, I'm enjoying this twitterer's twitterings: https://twitter.com/donaeldunready

    Well you've met me, yeurgh, and so you should have felt the radiance of my revolutionary Islamic aura.

    I have to say though - I quite applaud The Donald for saying 'we're killers too' about America. Like I've said, if you strip back the lies, hypocrisy, pretension and delusions of grandeur underpinning US rhetoric, Donald is that. Other presidents will condemn thousands to die (esp Barack "Dronestriker" Obama) but dress it up as a necessary noble act. Trump will likely tweet about how glad he is they're dead, which is if nothing else, the first honest thing an American president might have done.

    Not sure where SuperWatto posted the "America first, Netherlands second" video, but it's now taken off and satire shows throughout Europe are now putting together videos for why the country should be second, under the hashtag #everysecondcounts

    http://everysecondcounts.eu

    I saw the Austrian one last night, it's brilliant (though the Fritzl stuff crosses the line imo)



    Ender Sai - thought of you during the Lauda bit.

    Americans, let me talk to you about redundancy.

    "French Champagne" - There's no such thing as non-French Champagne.
    "6am in the morning" - am means morning (before midday). There's no need to say the same damned thing twice.
    "Foreign imports" - how or why the **** would you import domestic goods?

    Three examples, all heard/read from US sources today. Sort it out, 'Murica.

    In general the rest of the country "imports" moonshine and ignorance from certain areas of the US. :p

    I think that one is because that abbreviation has been in use for so long that people no longer know what it stands for.
