Friends, please remember this is a discussion board and it is easier to discuss news items when they are posted in the right topic in the right forum. Dumping every news item into one topic just creates a mess.

 

This is the PS, GT, & A thread, please stay on topic.

Uhgg! Rules!!! 

 

Lol probably because the natural progression of conversation is to jump from topic to topic. And no one wants to be silenced or confined.

 

But I've learned to try harder to stay on topic.   Notice I said "try"..... 😁

How do you do that Dusty? Do you drive through the front door, set off the fire alarm and then drive out the back of the church? Sounds like a good idea...

With 308 folios in this thread, already, it is helpful when all of the points are appropriate and on topic. It is also important to avoid any expressions that do not harmonise with our scriptural teachings on these important points.

 

Thanks, everyone, though, for the useful 'on topic' points.

I just found that world debt exceeds $300T, so clearly there is a big bubble expanding and soon to POP. I am not sure why this link is so out of date.  https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2021/12/15/blog-global-debt-reaches-a-record-226-trillion

This subject can get intense sometimes, so a little humour mellows things out.

Which is dumb. Who does the world owe this debt to? Each other! So why don't they just cancel the outstanding debt, at least cancel the equal amounts owed to each other.

Wow. President Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US long range weapons in Russia.  In less than two months he turns the whole mess over to Trump.

That is an epic over simplification of how it all works.

Based on observation, it seemed Biden got even with his handlers when he came out and endorsed Kamala Harris, as opposed to there being other options.

 

Now, it seems Biden is getting even with Trump with this drastic policy switcheroo that Putin has warned against and that's what Trump will have to deal with.

 

It's like he decided to burn down the house that he got evicted from.

 

Apparently, the UK and France are ready to give Ukraine the authorization for their rockets and missiles to be used long-range as well.

Apparently political reasons were not behind the decision but North Korean troops re-enforcing Russian army by thousands, and Ukraine crumbling defenses.

Basically serious situation is developing where Ukraine can fall, and Nato and others cannot allow this.  

Panic sets in not only in White House but in Europe as well. Ukrainian army is on retreat. 

So political reasons aside, reality on the ground is terrible. Allowing long reach missiles is an act of desperation. 

Something tells me that Putin will react badly to it.

MOSCOW, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Washington's decision to let Kyiv strike deep into Russia with long-range U.S. missiles escalates the conflict in Ukraine and could lead to World War Three, senior Russian lawmakers said on Sunday.

Two U.S. officials and a source familiar with the decision revealed the significant reversal of Washington's policy in the Ukraine-Russia conflict earlier on Sunday.

"The West has decided on such a level of escalation that it could end with the Ukrainian statehood in complete ruins by morning," Andrei Klishas, a senior member of the Federation Council, Russia's upper chamber of parliament, said on the Telegram messaging app.https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-strikes-russia-with-us-missiles-could-lead-world-war-russian-lawmakers-2024-11-17/

Lol we all know that's how it's going to happen, and it can happen suddenly.  But I'll still believe it when I see it.  I'm in the Proverbs 13:12 boat.  No expectation = no disappointment.
