It so important the image in this time that some people prefer a candidate of a goverment which made a big disaster in economy and foreing policy, atacks many countries militarily than another which dont atack ANY......

 

Big triumph for the international marxism.

What does the Democrata have to do with marxism? Nothing as far from reality... there are no real marxist in US society, as to do so, they would have to create their own Utopic land, as any TRUE marxist anywhere in the World.}

 

Trump is as fascist as Hitler and Mussolini were, only ten billion times more of an idiot. He is sterilizing women in the frontier based on race profiling, something that was also tolerated in the past by US presidents of both parties.

 

For me, living just across the border, I can only say that either party will continue to support USA status quo as the "hegemonic" force, likeit has always been the case since James Monroe and every other politician in the US decided to govern thorugh the glasses known as "Manifest Destiny". No single politician, not even the deluded geriatric case that is Sanders, will be able or honestly willing to renounce that policy.

False. Stalin invaded Finland in 1939, Mao started the Korean War & war with India in 1962.

Fun fact. Do you know that Stalin´s peak was the highest point of the former USSR before being renamed to Peak Komunizma, in nowadays Tajikistan ?   :p

The leftism in the world are more or less marxist, the diference is between the moderns vertions of Mensheviks and Bolsheviks and nothing more and, at least for me, the democrats are part of that, i disagree with the marxist doesnt exist in the US society if you see organizations like BLM or the Antifa and, casually, their members support Biden.

 

I didnt listen nothing about you say in the second paragraph, do you have any link to read?

 

Well, they are  the first power after the world war 2 and they will continue with that hegemonic form to rule, that is clear and wont change, both know like latin americans what is the meaning of the Monroe doctrine "America for the Americans".

    • Would rather best ball be on day 1 and alternate shots be on day 2, but overall I think this is a good format.
    • 1980. Allan Wells. It wasn’t on television because of the Olympic boycott so I found out about it from the newspapers. 
    • Also GB didn’t reach its target in the 4x100 women relay or the medley so those places might be rejected. 
    • It was the last event of the meet anyway, so they were never likely to do a swim off. If they wanted to decide in advance based on a race, more likely on a meet like Mare Nostrum.   Both are pre-selected anyway because of the relay, so they both will be there anyway. Whichever gets the nod, we probably won't know until the week of.   With GB's history of messing about, especially in the first year of a new Olympic cycle, who knows what we'll do. Knowing us, stick Tom Dean in there, make Duncan do the 200 fly and Jimmy the 400 free.  
    • Will they do a swim-off?   The other option is they select both of them and then the head coach decides who swims at the meet.
    • Very glad they went with foursome/four-ball rather than just adding up individual scores.
    • I'll give it a shot.   On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free.  James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable.   Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55   Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them.   The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore.   Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59     On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances.   Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free.    The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91)   Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86)   Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14)   Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400     Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.    More results here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Aquatics_GB_Swimming_Championships
