Roosevelt's idea of 'neutrality' was as lopsided as Wilson's. It would have been better to sit back and let WWI take its course.

Japan was a good example of a possible outcome when sanctions and embargoes are used against a rising nation that feels it has a better founded interest in East Asia than a country an ocean away.

It all started with Perry's Black Ships. The ruling oligarchs in the US are slow learners. The latest furor over China's banning of Micron chips is an amazing example of hypocrisy. Japan realized they could not win a sustained war when they attacked. I don't believe China has that problem.

Of course. There are places in the U.S. where people expect "cheddar" cheese to be white; other places expect it to be orange. I live in the latter. It's generally colored with annatto.

I like strawberry ice cream, but it has to be _good_ strawberry ice cream. With chunks of strawberry. The pink stuff in Neapolitan was always artificially flavored.

Yes.

Not in western europe they don't.

There are plenty of situations where a well done video clip leaves a text description for dead.

Better for who ?

Bit hard on the chinese tho.

No such animal.

Corse it does with oil and iron ore alone.

Western Europe doesn't have the wherewithal to have a good, old fashioned war. That may be why they're so fascinated with a proxy war in eastern Europe. Britain still thinks it's in a position to affect the balance of power on the continent.

Ultimately the world, I believe. A more equitable treaty might have headed off WWII. Britain wanted to make sure Germany never challenged their military or economic hegemony and France was still butt hurt about 1871. Wilson, with all his idealism, was as addled as Biden.

So it goes. Japan, China, and Korea have as much right to fratricidal wars as Europe.

Well, whatever you want to call a political system that's sold to the highest bidder. That "government of the people, by the people, for the people" was nice rhetoric but was bullshit even as it left Lincoln's mouth.

That all depends on how much you credit Sharpiro's 2004 book and Mickkleson apparently does. I'll go with Dichter's original theory.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a valid question when it comes to the opinions expressed by snopes.

You betcha...

"Kraft Macaroni and Cheese cheese sauce mix also includes FD&C yellow dyes number 5 and 6 for the characteristic bright yellow color of the cheese sauce."

There is a feeling among many Americans that cheese is a yellow color rarely seen in nature.

One thing that can be said for the stuff is it melts at slightly more than room temperature, isn't prone to the separation some cheeses undergo when heated, and doesn't have the tendency to form long strings when you're chomping away at the burger.

Basically it is yellow s*it, or s**te if you prefer. It's relationship to a biological cow is sometimes questionable.

True but in many cases videos are used by people too lazy to write the text description. Worst case it's someone reading Powerpoint slides verbatim, presumably for the illiterates in the audience.

Not in my lifetime.

I grew up in the vicinity of Saratoga and the chips were a local brand.

formatting link
Wise has a similar story. In the '50s Wise was preferred to Sartoga Chips. The Saratoga brand often had green spots or were of irregular thickness. Either were salty right out of the bag.

formatting link
That one credits the Saratoga story and says the salt is added after they come out of the vat. They're greasy enough to retain the salt.

Are you blissful in your ignorance?

Doesnt refute what I said as far as the navy and military were concerned.let alone them being even remotely a threat to the UK world wide militarily or economically.

You are the one with that problem.

And while they had overtaken the UK in the last few years in some areas of industrial production, they had f*ck all effect on the UK and USA dominance in world trade.

He is. Utterly blissful. I seem to recall it was parts of what became Germany that united with Britain to crush Napoleon at Waterloo.

Of course Germany didn't exist as a nation till somewhat later, being comprised of several kingdoms then

20 bores and 410s are, in the UK, regarded as excellent vermin shotguns as the carry is even shorter than a 12 bore and you don't need the range or stopping power for rats, pigeons and squirrels, and also because of licencing being hard for .22 and other rifles, moderaletely powerful air rifles with IR sights are now the favourite for the midnight rat shooting brigade.

I've shot a few things with my .22 air rifle, but its (accurate) range is at best 30metres.

Such hunting as is done, is with shotguns (never repeating, only two barrels max) and very occasionally by licensed hunters with .22, .25, and a few other calibre bolt action only, This country is simply too damned crowded to let any but the most trained loose with a rifle.

Handguns are absolutely illegal except in specialised ranges. Needless to say there are plenty about in the hands of criminals

,

Just owning one of those would be ten years in prison here. On the basis that its only use is short range killing of humans by unskilled gunslingers...

And it is in fact completely correct in that assumption. It does. The Storm Shadows it has supplied are having a huge impact of Russian logistics. And now Britain has supplied them, France doesnt want to feel left out and will be supplying French made ones, which they call SCALPS. It was the UKs decision to send a token dozen main battle tanks with no nuclear retaliation by Moscow, that emboldened the USA and Germany to send Aramms and leopard tanks, respectively. It is on UK soil that the USAF has all its F15s and F35s, its Rivet joint surveillance aircraft and its stratotankers, that are all buzzing round over my head as a deterrent and in support of intelligence gathering along Ukraine's borders.

Just because Biden hates the UK, doesn't mean that a lot of US military personnel are not stationed here interoperating seamlessly with UK military personnel, and cooperating on joint manoeuvres that see e.g. B52s patrolling the Baltic escorted by Eurofighters.

We are effectively at war here. In alliance with all our NATO partners. Including the USA.

And we all make a difference.

The Mature Cheddar Cheese I buy at my local supermarket is a pale yellow, and is "Free From: Artificial Colours, Artificial Flavours."

Yes, Snopes is essentially a debunking site. The story they present may not be true, but the original version may be largely correct. Stories are changed with constant retelling, for example by changing the location.
