The United States(!) of A
Burleigh (whoever he is...i have my suspicions!!) is a troll.
Not here to discuss. Doesn't actually believe anything he writes (i.e The Voice Referendum where he miraculously changed his mind at the 11th hour)
Just wants to belittle people and derail conversations for his/her own amusement.
A small minded human. It's sad. It's fucking sad to think somebody could operate in this way.
Just fuck off troll.
I wish this was on the streets.
Then you'd fuck off for good.
At least @indo has a crack and puts alot of thought and integrity into what he thinks.
I respect that.
Even though @indo gives me the major shits with his way of thinking.
It's not personal though.
It's just a difference of opinion. Can respect each other for that.
We can all agree to disagree, but when someone throws grenades but won't engage in a reasonable debate or argument......
???? Da fuk???
At least one Republican Congressman has the courage to speak out against the Trump/Musk style of government.
How long will it take for other Republicans to stand up and bring the chaotic Trump/Musk show under control, before they totally destroy the world economy. The US stock market isn’t taking the idea of tariffs all that well at present.

?si=hkWglnpPKhJC-MRo This whole AUKUS trump issue blowing up Australian news is exactly what’s wrong with our media.
Who gives a fuck if trump didn’t understand or hear correctly.

Maybe Burleigh can fuck off overseas for work. It doesn't seem like he's been there since the travel bans were lifted, and he must have heaps to catch up on. He missed out on going what, three times a year, and kicked up a big stink about it. STILL hasn't addressed that, actually, but I'm sure he wasn't lying about it. SURELY NOT!
Shit, maybe he could go to America and work for DOGE. I bet he could fuck up even worse than whoever canned prevention efforts to contain the spread of the Ebola virus (Elon for those playing at home). Right up Burleigh's alley might be going to Texas to care for the unvaccinated people in the grips of that measles outbreak.
Someone died the other day. First American measles death in ten years. Burleigh could get them on his organic salads with a few bleach chasers and ivermectin suppositories. Fixed in no time, with out any need for jabs and the almost certain injuries and autism that they bring.
The best part of not vaccinating for measles is that one's young one might contract them, then pass them on to an infant who's parents were going to have them vaccinated at the safe age of 12 months old, but because said child may not be of that age yet, they could get seriously sick or die from other parents' decision to not care about the fact that they live in a fucken society, the selfish fucks.
What's the overlap between people that won't vaccinate their children but believe abortion is wrong you think? Scraping cells out of womb = bad. Letting child go blind/get brain damage/pericarditis/hepatitis etc etc = oh, that's fine. Pro-life!
Burleigh's a pathetic troll.
Simple as that @hiccups.
Take nothing of what he/she writes as anything of substance.
It's just straight up online trolling.
Pathetic, and weak.
Whoever he/she is. Needs to take a good long hard look at themselves.
Not a healthy existence, whatever their motivation is.
Would be worthwhile pursuit to reflect and seek help for the deeper issues that brought this person to this point in their lives.
Very sad. I do feel sorry for this pitiful individual....but enoughs enough.
Go fucken sort yaself out Burleigh.
Your constant trolling is a serious blight on this magnificent website that we all enjoy chatting on.

Im sure threats were the reason for your last account ban. Or was it when you baselessly accused someone of sending threatening messages to your instagram.
If i saw you on the street i would give you a cuddle, sounds like you need it.

This is hilarious. Travel for work is something many many people do. And FWIW i have travelled many times per year for work since the boarders opened to the unvaccinated as they should have always been. How would you like me to address it Hiccup, Send you my boarding passes?

Expected reply from a troll with no substance.
Don't worry..'champ'....it's pretty rare i'll hound someone in real life or online, but if i do, i'll pump the tyres up of 100 others to make up for it.
You'll bring 100 people down, and pump the tyres up of...err...Trump.
But yeah, you're not a troll.
Threads all yours champ. Got better things to do than engage with a faceless troll who's only intention is to get under peoples skin.
Fuckhead.
Yeah it is a shame this isn't on the street.
Grew up having bruising encounters with gangs of Albanians before i was a teenager.
They had something to fight for. I had to fight for survival.

Funny though how the troll knows so much about the bannings and reprimands on swellnet.
Almost like he has inside info. Maybe even part of the team.
Gotta wonder hey.
Surely Swellnet wouldn't insert a troll into the conversations....would they Stu??

Mate, i don't know if you've noticed but apart from Indo everyone here gives it to me for liking Trump. Yeah i get cheeky, but so do you, hiccup, dill, AndyM, soggysao, Andy-Mac + many more.
Ignore me if you don't like it. Don't throw around useless internet threats.
@Southern. A lot of posters like that to me. I’ve the memory of a gold fish.
I can’t forget the feels I get from a couple of oxygen thieving energy vampires though.
Certainly keeps me away mostly.

haha if you're a troll made by swellnet, all is forgiven, it's kinda funny. Fucken hilarious really and i'd have a laugh about it over a few beers. Ya got me!
If you're actually a person that posts these outrageous one liners and doesn't reply when pressed,...mate, seriously.......read all of the above again. Go get some help!!!
Threats?? Ha. You get scared easily! If you're a real you.
Swellnet team tells us that the forums dont generate revenue.....it's funny that because all the youtube clips, instagram and facebook out there tell you to like, subscribe and most importantly, comment!!
Fark Swellnet, you're working on a primitive framework! Incredible really when you think about it. Maybe sack your I.T team. They've dropped the ball on this one.

He has a habit of doing this every few months
Well this is going smoothly . I had to laugh when in another clip , Trump was asked about calling Zelenski a dictator and Trumps reaction was “ did I say that “ he looked surprised then just said ok , next question .
Trump and Zelenskyy arguing like 2 school kids. See ya later Ukraine. How stupid can he be?
We got to see Zelenskyy true colours today. Seems like a moron.
Fuckin hell ^^
That video
Words fail me
Better get used to more Chinese warships in the Pacific.
Trump and Vance are handing over vast swathes of the Western hemisphere to the Belt and Road builders.
Watching a video like that and you realise the downfall is gonna come even quicker than first thought.

Wow, Zelensky really fooked up there.
Not a good look in front of cameras...
Just reading some analysis in paper of Trump, Zelensky live spat.
European leaders have all fallen in behind Zelensky apparently, but is that really of any matter if the US stop supplying $$ and weapons??
As a side note, reckon Australia should be cancelling Aukus asap and start getting some shit organised to defend our territory as a deterrence sooner rather than maybe sometime in the 2030' if lucky.

How could it be any other way? Here's a guy who's led a country that for three years has faced existential threat, lost thousands of young lives at the hands of an invasive force (that for fifty years was the murderous enemy of the US), and Trump and Vance played that conference for the domestic audience. Strutting like goons on 'roids demanding 'respeck' - which is just code for 'bow down to us'.
It's coming into ever-sharper focus for every American ally: The US can't be trusted.
So what does it mean for Australia? Do we play the long game and hope like buggery the next administration is consistent and responsible, or is this the beginning of extremists in the Oval Office?
Interesting times, as the Chinese curse goes.
Can Australia trust a trump America ever?
I doubt it
He’s just given Russia and china the green light it seems to do what they like
Yeah Trumps a snake alright......money driven cunt
That was 2v1 bullying. How’s Vance sitting off to the side telling Zelensky he needs to say thank you. Not letting him get a word in.
That was a pathetic look by Trump.
I guess Australia might have to exchange its uranium and other rare minerals for US defence help.
Although, strategically Australian must be important still to the U S
But someone might have to explain it to Trump and. Hegseth .
Oh I see .

I'm not judging, but my point is does it matter in the sense of improving Ukraine's position?
I would argue it doesn't, and to argue with Trump while being televised is not a real smart move for your negotiating position.
We can all see that Trump is all ego and to try and talk over him even if you have valid points is not going to help your case.
USA hold the funds and military resources if they want to this war going, which in my view they should be looking to stop asap. Too many lives lost on both sides.
As Trump said, he holds the cards.
And Ukraine cannot win this without foreign troops and assistance which could lead to WW3?
Will European nations step in? I'm guessing without US support, no.
Should they keep up the status quo?
Re the debate on how it started, cannot condone the invasion, but I'm of the view NATO should not have been expanding east and that Russia was never going to continue to accept this expansion.
Can accuse me of repeating Russian talking points, but this does carry on from the end of the Cold War.
Would the USA be comfortable with Chinese bases in Cuba or Canada?
Anyway I am just as pointed out commenting on a surf website, and from a position of limited knowledge.
However if you listen to people such as Jeffery Sachs and John Mearsheimer, it is hard to argue against their points and you cannot claim they are coming from a position of ignorance.
And as you said the USA has been enemies with Russia for 50 years, the neo cons CIA have done nothing to try and fix this over the last 30 plus years.
And finally yes I think Australia should be looking to get a lot more independent defence wise very quickly.
So do you stand up to him, as some politicians have said - "He only respects strong men."
Or do you cower and prostrate yourself?
Who knows? The fate of a country is decided by whichever side of the bed Trump gets up in.
And let's not forget the backstory of Trump calling Zelenskyy a dictator, and that the Ukrainian leader is debating in his second language. It was a grand display of petulance from a once-great power - now greatly diminished.
How any Australian can support that a week after Chinese warships have been on our doorstep is incredible. These events aren't happening in isolation; they're linked to our near-term future.
An isolationist America is an isolated Australia. Who are people cheering for then?
dunno... coastguard?
but we certainly should be taking china's recent point onboard: 'this is what it feels like. you sure you wanna support US operations in our seas?' if the US is about to implode in a quagmire of domestic posturing and international instability..
maybe give Gina and Hancock Iron to whoever will sign a 50 year protection contract.
""So do you stand up to him, as some politicians have said - "He only respects strong men."
Or do you cower and prostrate yourself?""
Do not see it as Black and white as that.
Should the USA just continue same path as Biden admin?
Do not take my words in anyway supporting Trump, huge threat to global stability, especially in our region. Definitely not cheering anyone on.
Trump displayed his ethical and moral standings very clearly posting his Trump Gaza clip.
Edit: also we should stop being involved in operations in South China Sea with USA. If Shit hits the fan there, will US step in to help us? We could be made an example of, take out a Australian ship, plane as an example?
If China wants to hurt us, they can just stop trading with us....
Think it was a bit of you do it to us, well we can to you.
Let's get our defence deterrent sorted asap.
Zelenski’s blunder in that video, was in my opinion, losing his cool and attempting to speak while Trump was speaking . We all know Trump loves an audience and when America is watching, he wants to come across as “ he’s the man “ . Trump doesn’t see Zelenski as having too many options and with Zelenski reluctant to sign over minerals without guaranteed protection, then Trump is happy to belittle him in front of the world to show “ who’s the boss “ . Zelenski needs to slow down and think very carefully before responding to Trump, otherwise he sets himself up to be taken down. Look at how Macron handles Trump , very different approach. Plenty of Americans would be backing Trump as they see the US is footing the bill for another stupid war .
No need for WW3, Trumps new world order. The US can have Canada, Greenland and Gaza, Putin can have Ukraine and a few other unimportant EU countries, China can have Taiwan, Australia and NZ. Problem solved, simple really.
On a side note, was talking to a Californian mate yesterday and asked him what it was like with Trump.
He basically said that Californian authorities are just ignoring federal orders etc
ICE are not getting any cooperation by local authorities as one example.
Think Trump will hit some domestic roadblocks sooner than later.

Well said.
Here's a longer clip.
https://m.
&pp=ygUfYWxqYXplZXJhLmNvbSBlbmdsaXNoIG5ld3MgbGl2ZQ%3D%3D The question is, how old and how cognisant is Trump, and will the cult continue when he goes or the US all lose their jobs?
A lot of Republican Congressmen fear violence from MAGA , if they defy Trump ,
will JD Vance have the same persuasive Karasma .?

Sorry wasn't talking about the path of the US but the method Zelenskyy uses to engage with the POTUS. Who can say what is best because it changes from day to day - so therefore how can someone be criticised for getting it wrong?
Also, you mentioned Macron's method of engagement, well don't forget Macron cut Trump off and corrected him in front of the cameras.
Anyway this is all penny ante for the greater picture: For decades America has called upon an axis of support. They're now retreating from that at a great rate, allowing another axis to rise.
It's getting hard to see how anyone supporting MAGA also has Australia's interests at heart.
Do you think Trump will last the 4 years?
The question is asked in the context of the remaining serious heads in the GOP and their political system more broadly who actually stand for something aligned to traditional values? Surely they haven’t all been expunged from the realms of influence, just thinking if the **** keeps flushing the US down the sewer like this he wouldn’t want to go near any grassy knoll would he?
Zelenskyy came across very arrogant and it will be to his detriment.
Trump does hold all the cards and you have to play his game if you like it or not.
He’s fucked up big time. He knows it, you could see it in his face.
Aus has absolutely nothing to worry about with the USA. That’s just fear mongering

Goofy i don't mind you, but geez mate, all you ever do is attack people who are standing up for themselves from the sidelines and never actually post deeper thoughts in the convo.
I think you're a good bloke going by our past interactions on here but don't appreciate you undermining something that was important for me to get across.
Unhinged, fair enough. If that's how you wanna read it but i'm just taking it to the furthest degree so this fuckhead stops trolling me. And why wouldn't swellnet have a bit of fun putting trolls in the thread? I would if it was my website and it helped generate a bit of extra dollars from advertisers through heavy engagement in threads.
Cheers.
