    Trump

    That’s great. Honestly, I think it is the first time anyone on these boards that I can respectively say is left of centre has acknowledged something positive about Trump. As for Biden, I may have to ponder it and get back to you. Nothing immediately springs to mind. I’m not being glib, I just...

    Trump

    Again, thanks for engaging in a civil way. It’s very refreshing. I can understand the position against the US/Israel, but I can also understand the position of Israel as a small country surrounded by countries that either simply dislike them or have vowed to completely wipe them from the map...

    Trump

    Are you saying Trump has not explained why they bombed the Iranian nuclear facilities and held no briefings? That is manifestly false. I never avoid points that are raised. I think what you really mean is you get frustrated if I don’t always agree with the points you raise. I make no apologies...

    Trump

    I acknowledged your counterpoint, and disagreed with it. I think you are misunderstanding disagreement with lack of acknowledgement. I do wonder if there is anything Trump has done that you agree with?

    Trump

    It sure wasn’t poor old Joe. Biggest political scandal since watergate, and makes that look like a side show. It’s a pity the so called independent media don’t seem to care about it too much. And that autopen sure was busy issuing all those preemptive pardons.

    You’re not suggesting October 7 was a false flag operation are you?

    Trump

    Cease fire/peace deal. If he bombed Iran to help Israel win the war, why didn’t he bomb military installations rather than nuclear facilities hidden in mountains? I wasn’t aware you were privy to conversations between Trump and his spies, so I’ll have to concede on that point. Trump has stated...

    Juniors Discussion Thread

    On the plus side, we are expecting to have a number of representatives in the over 40’s division of the next masters games.

    Someone should tell the panthers and the raiders not to bother then. It’s not like those 2 clubs know more about junior development than Manly.

    Maybe they are confusing him with DCE?

    Not sure it makes much difference if funds came from “unfrozen assets” or a cheque. And given the waste under USAID, it’s a drop in the bucket from a US perspective. The issue is what it allows Iran to do.

    Presumably you were asking “why now” when Obama dropped each of his >26,000 bombs across 7 countries?

    Trump

    I’d say there is little scope for a strategic answer to the Middle East, given all the players are too erratic, and the problems are essentially unsolvable. The best that can be hoped for is to keep a lid on the pressure cooker and avoid limited wars become nuclear. So again, not sure what more...

    Trump

    Benghazi was when Islamic militants attacked a US compound in Libya. Then Secretary of State Hilary Clinton was heavily criticised for her “response”. As for Obama, he bombed 7 countries in 6 years, killing thousands. He bombed more nations than George W Bush, including over 26,000 bombs in...

    Trump

    Thanks for taking the time to write those thoughts down. I have always been reluctant to enter into the debate about the rights and wrongs of all the players in the Middle East. All sides have very strong views and I find debate is ultimately futile. Positions are too well entrenched. I would...

    Trump

    What, because he swore? He has just destroyed Iran’s nuclear threat and simultaneously brokered a cease fire. Sure sounds like he is on top of things to me. Out of curiosity, would you say Biden was on top of things during say the last year or so of his presidency?

    Poll can you trust bloody humans?

    I must have missed something in the translation. I thought I was agreeing with you. Not disappointed, just confused.

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    I’d say it’s a mark of how dire our recent form has been that anyone would consider a win over the tigers at home as anything other than a bare pass mark, and hardly worthy of “credit”. A more relevant question may be if our recent form continues and we lose a game we should win, who will get...

    Yeah, come on everybody, please stick to the acceptable off-thread spam relating to our useless owner and/or our no good players.

    It must be difficult having to find a negative slant on a peace deal that potentially saves hundreds or even thousands of lives. I admire your commitment though.
