I have never considered the US of A worthy of the term "laughing stock", Donald Trump though, yes he earned that title....

Report: Top Chinese leaders told to prepare for 'armed confrontation' with US over coronavirus lies

Typical conjecture, even after running down the links in the articles, nothing of substance to be found. But sure I could see Trump engaging in a conflict with China, he'd grasp at any straw to deflect away from his latest mishandling of _______ ( insert which ever Trump fuckup term since they change by the day)

 

[Hugh_Essay]

That video is pretty much spot on. The world is laughing at america's 'leadership', or lack thereof.

 

[FGB]

Always do until they need us or see the contrails overhead.

Nothing much changes over the years...

 

[SusanHaack]

Yep. That pretty much sums it up. Unfortunate for the handful of Ammurikhans that want to protect themselves and their loved ones.
One thing i found out a few days ago is the high number of people in their 30s, 40s and 50s that are in icu. Majority of people in icu are in medically induced comas, for weeks, until they die or recover because even with ventilators at 100% they can't breathe.
But whatever.

That implies the Chinese Government is promoting Covid-19 information that is more accurate than the Covid-19 information promoted by the POTUS.

Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

Nope.

I draw beards on the faces in the pictures.

Also if ever carrying out an arson 'incident' consider leaving behind a copy of Das Mail.

Happy VE day to you too. I was there - then.

there being where? (dont answer that, its retorical)

Due to the number of alts and basic piss taking cunts around on here now (and im not aiming that at you) its risky to share any personal info. such as my dad was at normandy, fought inland from the first wave, then for their troubles ended up seeing lots of the world including Burma.

Every 6th June i dispose of a bottle of Calvados, (in a responsible manner). bloody shame about the Royal Marines Museum.

Have a good day tomorrow.

(i doubt ill take part in the national rendition of ''whale meat again!!'' at 21.00, i'll do something more church of egypt and blow some fireworks up in a red white and blue pattern instead.)

I was alive on VE day but my father wasn't celebrating. He was scheduled to take part in Operation Olympic - the Allied invasion of Japan's mainland. The bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved him and millions of others - Allied and Japanese.

Similar.

It must have been shit - they never spoke of it, or very rarely.

One funny thing was when mine lost a filling at home one saturday night in the early nineties, then went off in a rant about how he'd had that done in the indian ocean and wanted to take it with him when he 'went
a different breed.

When my father was in his 90s he liked typing but most were letters of complaint to me and my brother about how he disliked being in a residential home.

We suggested that he should write his life story for future generations.

He did but It was very boring, 40 pages of single-spaced typing that omitted 1939 to 1945. He considered that those years were still covered by the Official Secrets Act. We only knew that he had been a BIGOT - one of the few who knew months beforehand that the invasion was going to Normandy.

I know he lied on my birth certificate, giving the job he had before 1939 because his current task was Top Secret.

But my eldest aunt was more forthcoming. She told me, but at the time I didn't believe her, that the family had been bombed out by a Zeppelin in 1915. Now I know that is true and know the number of the Zeppelin, its commander, and the exact time it was dropped - then the largest bomb ever dropped. Two men were killed. They had come out of the pub, holding their pints, to watch the Zeppelin overhead. The pub's clock stayed at the time the bomb dropped until it ceased to be a pub in the 1970s.

She lost two fiancés during the First World War. The first was an RFC pilot, shot down over the Western Front on his second sortie in 1915. His plane caught fire and his body was never identified. He is listed as one of the missing. Her second fiancé was a Lieutenant who went over the top during the battle for Passchendaele (3rd Ypres) in 1917. Again his remains were never found.

She remained single all her life. She said "I lost two good ones and the ones who returned were too damaged to be any use to me."

Small world.

My great grandfather died at Ypres in 1917 as well, on a night raid to gather information. He had been in France for just a few weeks.

 

[hobbit.]

I cant match that

mine was born on st pats day - his dad wasnt happy - he'dbeen injured in the trenches (head fucked in modern parlance) resented paddys day - in part due to having been hospitalised with machine gun bullet wounds, in italy, then after ww1 sent to ireland... with pretty severe injuries to be abused by papists...

dad trained in scotland, did time in plymouth, loved malta (no guessing why... )

taught me a lot, the unarmed combat stuff seemed weird climbing a cargo net was useful, as was the advice about when climbimg a net pick a thread and stick to it. fear is simply the unknown - whilst on top of the house roof at 6 years old , loking back was fun. The how to treat a burn was outright sadism - delivered with affection "well you wont be stupid enough to do that again will you"

tomorrow will be hard - and thats without the unmarked VJ day.

Just because it comes form China doesn't mean that it isn't an accurate comment on america.

 

[colddiesel]

The video is accurate but after 3.5 years the joke is wearing thin. Most people outside of the USA were happy for a year or two to laugh at the fix America was in with Trump. But now the laughing has stopped - at least until November.
