Kennedy was a WWII vet, he had no fear, he came from wealth, his brother was AG. Think about it.

Now that I've found you and read some of your posts, I understand you much better. You appear to be a pathetically introverted, insecure, scared little fellow(??) holed up in some hovel living off German welfare probably sitting around in your underwear picking your nose and scratching your butt and using the internet to try and prove your manhood(??). You attempt to insult someone a half a world away and you obviously find it necessary to pick on girls. You whine about your religion and don't have a clue about some of the words you use. The word "racist" has been worn out by the race hustlers and evokes nothing more than contempt from most Americans. What country you from, anyway, or do you not have the backbone to be honest about it? I'm proud of my country. You?
Want to prove the above is not true? Eliminate the ignore list you have, quit being invisible and quit picking on girls. You man enough to do that? BTW you can always find me in the journal section in a thread named "business thread". Love to have you stop by. I find some of your posts quite amusing.

And so it has begun! The Panda mask is now coming off! M.O.A.T. was just announced in regards to trade tariffs against China! This is going to get more interesting as China knows they don't have the leverage to win this!
Quote of the day:

From the WhiteHouse:
White House (https://publicpool.kinja.com/subject-statement-from-the-president-regarding-trade-w-1826934812) – On Friday, I announced plans for tariffs on $50 billion worth of imports from China. These tariffs are being imposed to encourage China to change the unfair practices identified in the Section 301 action with respect to technology and innovation. They also serve as an initial step toward bringing balance to our trade relationship with China.
However and unfortunately, China has determined that it will raise tariffs on $50 billion worth of United States exports. China apparently has no intention of changing its unfair practices related to the acquisition of American intellectual property and technology. Rather than altering those practices, it is now threatening United States companies, workers, and farmers who have done nothing wrong.
This latest action by China clearly indicates its determination to keep the United States at a permanent and unfair disadvantage, which is reflected in our massive $376 billion trade imbalance in goods. This is unacceptable. Further action must be taken to encourage China to change its unfair practices, open its market to United States goods, and accept a more balanced trade relationship with the United States.
Therefore, today, I directed the United States Trade Representative to identify $200 billion worth of Chinese goods for additional tariffs at a rate of 10 percent. After the legal process is complete, these tariffs will go into effect if China refuses to change its practices, and also if it insists on going forward with the new tariffs that it has recently announced. If China increases its tariffs yet again, we will meet that action by pursuing additional tariffs on another $200 billion of goods. The trade relationship between the United States and China must be much more equitable.
I have an excellent relationship with President Xi, and we will continue working together on many issues. But the United States will no longer be taken advantage of on trade by China and other countries in the world.
We will continue using all available tools to create a better and fairer trading system for all Americans.
As recently announced Kim just traveled to Beijing just as this was announced! China is most certainly in a very tight spot and will be looking to get some leverage. Will it work? Not while the world is watching and risk condemnation from the world community for interfering with the peace process to move forward.

What I was originally going to post, before I was distracted, the UK ... a land where the use of cannabis in all forms is explicitly illegal, produces more cannabis (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cannabis-legal-uk-worlds-largest-producer-marijuana-weed-un-body-findings-a8243921.html) than any other country in the world. 95 tonnes (doesn't seem enough) of marijuana in 2016 of which 2.1 tonnes was exported! Do you think there will be a war over this? Perhaps we shall end up with a lease on Belgium until 2170. 
So we must have weaponized the stuff, can't think of any other reason that 92.9 tonnes of dope would have gone missing ....
I can' help thinking that Cambodia region and parts of Central America produce at least a kilo-ton of the stuff ... which is of course unaccounted.
