YNWA? Wow

What else does this person say YNWA after? Do they sing it at funerals? Shout it at climax?

We could start a whole thread about "inappropriate uses of YNWA" in off-topic, but "any whatsoever" would get the most likes, so what's the point?

The wife says you're a knob.

She's extremely perceptive.

The presidency of the council rotates monthly on the basis of the English alphabetical order of the member states' names. It confers about as much power as you would expect, given such a rule.

Russia's veto, of course, confers real power and means that nothing will happen. About the only interesting question going into this meeting is exactly what China will say. Otherwise, it's just an opportunity for grandstanding and everyone involved knows this.

China mainly concerned that their trades routes through Europe arent disrupted

It's an interesting analysis. If Putin decided to test NATO's resolve, those factors would probably be in his calculus.

If he wasnt he is now, he's an active member of GOT, forum and player sponsor.

I spent the two minutes to check - it was pure boilerplate. Do nothing to increase tensions, we believe all disputes should be resolved through peaceful means, blah blah blah.

He was right, but it wasn't the reason he lost the election.
"Binders full of women" springs to mind
but I'd mostly say it was his inability to energize the republican base after years of governing Mass.

I don't even think Romney was "right". Russia may be a more belligerent geopolitical foe but China is the biggest competitor and most likely successor to US domination on the world stage.

That Russia comment didn't cost Romney anywhere near as much as saying 47% of the country are takers, both believing themselves to be victims and that government has a responsibility to take care of them.

And another.

I always thought that Obama's people released that video too early. Obama's numbers surged in the two weeks after that, but the effect had vanished by the time the first debate rolled around. That was one to put out there about seven days before the election.

Ironically enough he most likley would be alone at climax...

So Putin has said he recognises the wider borders claimed by the proxy states.

Another step forward towards full scale conflict.
