Ranked: The World’s Most Indebted Countries Today Across both developed and developing economies, governments are not alone in feeling the pinch of high debt burdens.

We're not even on the list! Which kinda suggests that Nationals claims about the previous Labour govt borrowing too heavily is propaganda bullsh*t.

For the rats it was probably the Hilton Hotel...

Dropped crumbs and pizza crusts down the side/back, and - voila! - room service!

They mustve missed the bit in 1945 when the checkered flag was dropped, and the announcement made;

"And the winner is---!"

I think Trump just declared Iran as US's next Forever War...

"As was stated to me today,we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons.Wars can be fought"forever,"and very successfully,using just these supplies(which are better than other countries finest arms!)"

Iran targets US military bases in the Middle East with retaliatory strikes Tehran responded to joint US-Israeli air strikes on its territory by launching a wave of drone and missile attacks at bases hosting US troops across the Middle East. Here's what we know so far about…

Meanwhile...

NEVER, EVER, NEVER ALLOW A US MILITARY BASE IN THIS COUNTRY!!!

In what Universe,pray tell,are we safer when we move homeless people from Point 'A' to Point 'B'?

If this was effective,we could stop ALL crime, IMMEDIATLEY,by shifting a criminal... from Point 'A' to Point 'B'.

Strangely,this has not worked.Unless Point 'B',is a prison?Which is an expensive...(1)

Trump’s neck rash is because of β€˜preventative skin treatment’, his doctor says The reddish spot was visible on the president's neck during a ceremony at the White House.

This is deeply offensive and shameful. 175 school girls get blown to bits by a US bomb,and THIS is your 'take'??

No wonder so many in the world hates the USA.

What on Earth made you think this was an appropriate story to write?!Are you people sociopathic?

God help us,you've lost your minds.

A consequence of American militaristic hegemony: US citizens not welcome in the Middle East.

A pariah state with pariah citizens.

#YankeeGoHome was never more apropos.

Keir Simmons, Shira Pinson and Sara Monetta, from NBC - the White House thanks you for your propagandising for the military-industrial complex.

Meanwhile, YOUR COUNTRY JUST SLAUGHTERED ABOUT 175 SCHOOL CHILDREN.

THINK ABOUT THAT AS YOU HUG YOUR KIDS TONIGHT.

Strike on Girls’ School Kills at Least 175, Iranian State Media Says

Meanwhile, in the Real World...

You'll excuse me if NO FUCKING FUCKS ARE FUCKING GIVEN ABOUT PRIVILEGED WESTERNERS INCONVENIENCED WHILE CHILDREN ARE BLOWN TO BITS.

No wonder much of the world hates your (American) guts.

The people who spent two years levelling Gaza would like you to know Iran is violating international law In a masterclass of humanitarian restraint that has now stretched into its third glorious year, Israel has continued to show the world how deeply it respects international law.

This might be apropos...
