No. I said that if everyone signs pledges to go to war, then it could quickly escalate - as has happened before. China will never allow North Korea to fall to Western powers. We would follow a resolution from the UN.
Don't be mean he has lovely hair !Ok. I believe you. Any info on Trump? Might explain a lot.

Although "fire and fury like the world has never seen before" comes very near...
You do realise that was a virtual parody of a JFK speech against China in the 60's?

Maybe Putin thinks the same as I do... Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the Trump administration the continuing hostility between the US and North Korea was close to deteriorating into a “large-scale conflict” and said the only way to de-escalate tensions was through talks.
Again though your lack of historical context shows.
When I mentioned Jfk and China you dismissed it must most historians would equate China in the 60's to North Korea today - funded by the Kremlin.
It's been proved that JFK was with an inch - or a fingertip - of triggering a nuclear attack on China as Nehru was convinced of an immediate assault. That's not even discussing the Cuban Missile Crises when WW 3 looked a certainty.
To start equating Trump as a threat in anywhere near the same scale as Kennedy is frankly laughable.
What do you mean exactly by they won't allow the USA to take action ? I'm pretty sure if that ugly little gimp landed a missile on Guam then the US would respond in kind ?!I am sure Trump didn't know that. Also China in the 60s was no where near as militarily capable as today. I don't think that rhetoric frightens North Korea because they know China will never allow the USA to take action on the Korean Peninsula.
Email Putin then...

No doubt 50 years ago you'd have said e mail Kruschev - you haven't a clue
So if they attacked Japan or S Korea or Guam your advice is keep your head down? You suit Europe.
I presume you'd be putting yourself forward with the troops then?
Quote from today's paper: “The longer the talks seem to go nowhere the worse it gets for sterling,” said Neil Wilson, a senior market analyst at ETX capital
He is right. That's pretty normal.
What's your point?

Falling steadily? I transferred money before Brexit at 1,40. Then more at 1,14. Now it's 1,07. that is in just over 1 year and, significantly, since the Brexit cock up.
Do they? Do you know that we will ever get out of this low point? If so when?
The bond prices reflect the amount of risk involved. This tells me a lot about Greece, but not everything I need to know about the EU. Apart from maybe that there benefits to the ECB low interest policy. Many municipalities here have reduced their debts and expenditure on debts which means money can be freed up for other things. Despite the low interest rates, the Euro is still gaining on the pound. Why do think this is happening- as someone who understands currency markets?
I asked you to explain why you thought the euro was strong against the pound. I gave you a clue. It has to do with Brexit whereas you were saying it has been declining gradually for 3 or 4 years anyway..
It's hardly strong against the pound though is it. It's about level, a pound gets you a roughly a euro.
As for brexit of course it's had a big impact I agree but to pretend it's all brexits fault is ludicrous. That's was my point that's the pound has been falling for 4 years. That wasn't brexit.
I thought you said trump was colluding with Putin and Russia? Now putin is warning trump and USA. So Is trump still in bed with Russia, or just when it suits you? But now you agree with Putin.... seriously you like to flip flop with your ideology to suit.

Firstly, that’s the last four years and it’s clearly not been falling.
Secondly, see that peak at the end of 2015/start of 2016? That’s when Cameron fucked up negotiations and came back until he announced the referendum.
Thirdly, see that steep drop halfway through 2016? That’s this:

As Schmee's graph shows, you are way off the mark. It was Brexit. The pound will find it's natural level way lower than when we were in the EU. The advantages of a cheap pound will eventually by eaten away by inflation. The stock market is high partly because of low interest rates and because shares are cheaper for foreign investors because of the weak pound. When prices rise faster than wages domestic demand will fall and the stock market will drop because of falling profits of firms dependent on strong domestic demand. Enjoy.
Strong means in relation to what it was. It was 83p, it is now 93p. It has absolutely nothing to do with parity to the currency unit. But there again you claim to know more about these things than I do.
I clearly do. You quoted a graph posted by schmee that's completely wrong and then had the cheeky to make a point on it to be right where tbf it's made you look a bit silly. Look at my graph posted its the official decline of the pound over the last 5 years.
Where is the massive gamble? And what happened to the pound mid 2016?
