    OK fair enough, but how can you include those that are in the United Nations, they are far from United.
    Could you include Britain in the Peace title? I think it would only consist of a few neutral countries if Peace is taken literally.

    All countries want peace but usually only on their own terms.

        I would certainly exclude those are actively involved in trying to take over another country. Along with those who knowingly lied to their country in order to take them to war.

            "Trump gets things done " ? What exactly has he achieved so far ? He can hardly claim to have halted any wars. His own country has seen a rise in the cost of living.....he has no interest in the environment.......he has alienated half of Europe as well as a number of US states and members of his own party........his tariffs and trade demands are not to anyone's advantage including that of the US. He appears to have no conception of any form of "law and order" unless it is of his own making. I suppose he has achieved a couple of things tho - he has managed to avoid any court appearances to answer the criminal charges he faces and he always hits the headlines with his meandering speeches and Twatters.
            He may well have been correct about Biden being incapable due to mental incapacity but it is obvious he is suffering from that problem too.

                      David Lammy says Trump rowed back on using force or tariffs over Greenland because the UK and Europe expressed concern.

                      That level of delusion is quite astonishing. :doh:

                        O'Leary is certainly the master of self-publicity. I was reading more on that spat with Musk earlier in an article written by a journalist who had a run in with him years ago. Apparently she'd had a really bad flight and said something along the lines of "I'd bet my house that he's never had positive feedback about his flights". A few days later she received a letter with a quote from a satisfied customer and the address to send her house keys to. He didn't follow through with the thread, but got loads of publicity.

                          Personally I can't stand Michael O'Leary, but he has done a good job of running and growing Ryan Air over the decades and has to be admired for that.
                          Musk doesn't seem to get that the economics of running a busy budget airline is nothing like running SpaceX, which may well be floated on Wall Street this year.

                            I love the concept of SpaceX floating on Wall Street. Hope it stays up in the air.

                              Apparently some Russian ships have been intercepted in the Channel.

                              Should've come in an inflatable. ;)
