It's good to know that the leader of the free world lies awake at night, wrestling with the really key questions impacting on world affairs. Like whether a topical comedy show is actually funny; or if the person impersonating him is doing a decent job. And then decides to troll China.

Oh fantastic, now him & Putin are planning on upping the ante re Nuclear Weapons.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38410027
I remember the last "Arms Race" & it sucked.
I fondly recall one Sunday morning, back in the day, when the siren went off (obviously a malfunction or human error, probably the second) but I rushed into the room to see if there was anything on the telly, but the short time it took me to realise Armageddon wasn't happening that day, it was forever engraved in my memory. |

I grew up in North Manchester, my parents' house overlooked the city from a hill about 6 miles away. I vividly recall hearing the siren going from time to time, clearly drills of some sort, but spooky as hell and a little confusing as I'd only ever heard that particularly haunting form of siren in black & white WWII movies.
I also recall at about age 7 being absolutely terrified by a news report which explained the various degrees of damage if a typical Soviet device were to detonate over Manchester.
And yet I still handled it better than Generation Snowflake handles anything.  |

Yes but being from East Hull you're already familiar with ' Armagedon ' 
Sorry I couldn't resist
Seriously though as that clever Mr Einstein pointed out

Now it would be:
"If you feel comfortable doing so, get into the bath. Please do not fill the bath with water. Remain clothed. See app for details."
"If you feel comfortable doing so, move beneath the stairs. If your local housing authority has not provided you with stairs, you may be entitled to compensation. See app for details."
"If a member of your household has passed, please call our Grief Helpline. If our Grief Helpline is unavailable due to thermonuclear conflict, you may be entitled to compensation. Please do not touch the deceased for fear of infection. See app for details." |

So the US has all but declared war on Russ... I mean Syria. That didn't take long. A supposed chemical attack with many of the victims being children is being used as the smoking gun. It's like 92 all over again.
It also makes no sense that Assad would do this, given that he's winning the war, and the US recently suggested they weren't considering escalating military action. Why would he choose to incur the wrath of the world by doing this when he doesn't have to?

Apparently, but they've said that before and it turned out that it wasn't the Syrian government. It just strikes me as odd that it's an almost identical narrative to the apparent attack that occurred in Kuwait prior to the first Gulf war. |

That isnt going to happen but, with Russia stating that this is just one step from war, another chemical attack will really test both sides (America & Russia). |

I deliberately didn't post because the likes of Cronus would claim he had a contact in the town that got bombed to prove I was talking rubbish but Charlie Sheen is spot on. If you believe what the news tell you I feel sorry for you.
By the way, Trump made close to a billion dollars overnight by bombing Syria. Just look how many shares he owns in the company that makes the missiles and how much their share price went up overnight after launching at Syria.
Let's not forget that the UN confirmed that The Syrian government had got rid of its chemical weapons

Shares in Raytheon have been climbing steadily anyway since around 2010, though incidentally they were worth a lot more only 3 weeks ago. Yes, total market capitalisation was around a billion for Raytheon at one point (+3%) but later normalised to close around 0.8% up.
BTW, it's unlikely Trump made a billion - he owns less than $15,000 in shares.
He owns stock in several hundred companies. Almost every decision he makes will cause market fluctuations and therefore affect his portfolio value but I doubt he bombed Syria to make about enough for his annual supply of hair spray.

I don't trust anyone. Especially people who claim it's easy to fly planes into the twin towers like you did, despite one of my best mates who's been a pilot for BA for 25 years who claimed he and his colleagues tried it on the simulator and failed miserably. So please tell me why you said it was so easy. What experience do you have? What is your role in the aviation Industry. How long have you been a Pilot?

Already told you once. If you're too astoundingly stupid and/or mind-numbingly blinkered to understand that's your problem.
BTW, your 'BA mate' is a fabrication. If he can't set an altitude and heading and make the final adjustments to hit a target visible for about 20 miles out, he either doesn't exist or he's a feckin p*ss poor pilot. You can tell him that.
Ask him if he paid for the simulator time or BA let fanny around on it for nowt? Then ask him what the hourly rate on BA flight sims is.
Now, let's discuss this 'billion' Trump made from his <$15,000 shares.  |

Neither the US State department or the British foreign office have produced any evidence that Assad carried out the alleged chemical gas attack yet we are supposed to go along with the allegations.
Why would Assad carry out such an act? He was coming close to winning the war. Why risk turning international opinion against himself? |

All well and good, little of which I disagree with. Except I'm not even sure you know what you're replying to. The claim was that Trump 'made close to a billion' following the missile strike on the Syrian airbase, which is patently not true (or indeed, possible). Whether he and his family leave the White House richer or not wasn't even mentioned. I'm sure they will, but they certainly wouldn't be unique on that score.
Incidentally, he's actually poorer since winning the election last year - by $200 million.
Yes, as I've already stated, Trump holds shares in hundreds of companies. It therefore stands to reason his portfolio will be affected by almost every decision he makes.
But it terms of the Syria strike, he owns less than $15,000 in Raytheon, and similarly low amounts in other defence firms. Indeed, the majority of his holdings are pretty low value. His big holdings are mainly in finance and oil, and those are almost all less than $1 million each. He probably made a few hundred bucks in Raytheon and not much more elsewhere after the missile strike.
His wealth is in Manhattan real estate. Yes, he'll make some if oil starts booming again, but he's not going to make billions or indeed millions from his share portfolio, ever.
One point of interest - it's been claimed he sold ALL his share holdings in June 16 to avoid conflicts of interest if he achieved office, but as he doesn't need to file his next financial disclosure until May 2018, evidence of this is limited.

Incidentally, he's actually poorer since winning the election last year - by $200 million.
Yes, as I've already stated, Trump holds shares in hundreds of companies. It therefore stands to reason his portfolio will be affected by almost every decision he makes.
But it terms of the Syria strike, he owns less than $15,000 in Raytheon, and similarly low amounts in other defence firms. Indeed, the majority of his holdings are pretty low value. His big holdings are mainly in finance and oil, and those are almost all less than $1 million each. He probably made a few hundred bucks in Raytheon and not much more elsewhere after the missile strike.
His wealth is in Manhattan real estate. Yes, he'll make some if oil starts booming again, but he's not going to make billions or indeed millions from his share portfolio, ever.
One point of interest - it's been claimed he sold ALL his share holdings in June 16 to avoid conflicts of interest if he achieved office, but as he doesn't need to file his next financial disclosure until May 2018, evidence of this is limited.
