I think he's coming to bat for Trump but I hope I'm wrong.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View PostIt is an interesting point to ponder though.
Look at the 4 main power blocs in the world - the US, the EU, China and Russia.
All with very different approaches to how they conduct their geopolitical strategy. Who's winning?This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

This illiterate buffoon threatening to target some of the greatest monuments of human civilisation should be enough to have him taken out of action if there was a permanent government or a real adult in charge.
Profoundly depressing that he's been let away with putting it on the table.Turning millions into thousands

Good job US have the USPA "to protect United States military personnel and other elected and appointed officials of the United States government against criminal prosecution by an international criminal court to which the United States is not party"
US are bound to invade the Hague if an american is brought up before international court...People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Pentagon Chief of Staff has resigned.
Just coincidence I guess.
That used to be a call to have congress/senate examine actions of the executive branch but now just means the position will go to another yes manPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostLets see. I think China's economic linkages with rest of Asia and Africa will write the future not who has the biggest bomb. Fear is grand for pretending to have allegiance, not sure anything other than economics builds real lasting relationships. The formation of the EU being a prime example of that. The collapse of USSR supporting the downside of fear.
But I don't look at it as a relationship as such. They are simply hoovering up strategic assets to further their own cause.
It's all very friendly now but once they have everything they need, it will most likely be a very different story.
I wouldn't trust them in the slightest.

And you're 100% correct. China is a dictatorship and should not be trusted in any way."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

They are our new overlords sadly and I think we're past the point where we can reverse it.

Watched portrait of a lady on fire which is the latest offering from Celine Sciamma (who made girlhood a few years back, which i loved). Stunning period drama, with for all intents and purposes only 4 characters. Shot beautifully on a tiny island in Brittany (i think), it's an incredibly slow burner,very austere yet incredibly warm, but keeps drawing you in and mesmerises with its gentle sensuality.
Absolutely beautiful 9/10

IMO its become a fairly meaningless term that overpaid phd's who can't really code but can do a bit of SQL to make prettyprint charts that makes it appear like they are talking a good game about big data sets use to describe themselves.
Used as a self descriptor a small % are data tech's a tiny % mathematicians and the vast majority are bluffer business heads.Turning millions into thousands

Strong nations have always bullied weaker ones to advance their interests. That is as true now as it was then. Really what we're discussing is the methods employed.Last edited by Raoul Duke III; 07-01-20, 19:19."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Lads looking for CV advice , dream job could be on
Kpmg hiring 800 staff.
I’ve already taken anything out of my cv that hints at diligence, competence and integrity. Any other tips? I guess pretending to like rugby might help?

The disparity between salaries for those type of roles advertised as "data analyst" are incredible.
It is largely the reason why prior to leaving my previous role our titles were changed from Analyst to Decision Scientist
