Apart from deporting foreign criminals which we can't see to.do because of lawyers. He is a idiot. Seems to be siding with putin. That meeting with zelensky, I watched the whole one , seemed spiteful. Zelensky may of come across a bit rude to some of what the media is saying, but English isn't his first language. When he showed trump the pictures of the atrocities in Ukraine, trump barely acknowledged them. Now the Ukrainian people who went there under Biden may be kicked out, not sure how true this is.

It's unfortunately true @Andi66 Trump signed an executive order yesterday to remove their status. So they'll all be kicked out of the USA if it goes ahead. Though I'm sure there'll be plenty of people trying to block that happening through the courts..

It's barbaric, those poor people that been bombed and had their family and friends killed. Now have this. He was sympathetic with putin about the messages during the meeting with zelensky

@MW123 I agree with you about the UK government should not be pushing sick and disabled into work/cuts and not supporting the vulnerable in the UK. We (the sick and disabled) should not bear the burden of foreign policy/defence costs etc etc.
I absolutely do support Ukraine and Europe's/Starmer's position on it re defence, unequivocally.
Those two comments above are not mutually exclusive.
I've said somewhere before, politics is about choices. There are many choices Labour could make but are choosing not to.
I've never believed therefore in the sentiment 'charity begins at home'. There are wise, humane and considered options that Labour could choose but seem to not be choosing, we'll see on 26th March. I hope I'm wrong but I think public opinion is for massive benefit cuts and that the 'I'm alright Jack' phrase comes to mind; people think it will never happen to them and their everyday struggles reduce any sympathy they might have felt; the government's rhetoric spurs this on and creates division.

Tolstoy is Putin's mouthpiece. And these are definitely different people.

Obviously, Trump does not profit from the war in Ukraine, but only brings great expenses and the risk of a nuclear war. I would like to note that when Russian troops captured the territory around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 2022, they left very quickly.
Not long after he returned to England, Burgess set down his impressions of Russia in an essay, ‘The Human Russians’, published in the Listener on 28 December 1961. Although he had gone to Leningrad expecting to find a cold, totalitarian state where all emotion had been crushed out of the people, what he found was ‘tremendous warmth’. Ordinary Russians were welcoming, he said, and the food was ‘coarse and delicious’. The pervasive smells of bad drains and cheap tobacco recalled his early years in Manchester. He also saw violent, well-dressed teenage boys who reminded him of the Teddy Boys at home in Britain. In his essay, Burgess represents Leningrad as a place of lawless drunkenness, where no attempt was made to deal with low-level criminality. ‘It is my honest opinion,’ he wrote, ‘that there are no police in Leningrad.’
A brawler's path to the top: Putin grew up in a 'jungle' where it was all about being the strongest
Vladimir Putin is both one of the most powerful and most enigmatic men in the world. We can still only guess what his real ambitions are. But perhaps his rough childhood in Leningrad provides a clue. Here is the first of three chapters on Vladimir Putin, his path to power and his inner circle.Maybe Antony Burgess met the little hooligan Putin in Leningrad? 😁

I read that trump wants sanctions on Russia, I don't think he knows what he's doing. He should help Europe, we helped them with both Iraq and Afghanistan, Even though Vance distasteful comment about our involvement. Vance as well only knows what he's seen on tv , neither have them gone to Ukraine to see for themselves the destruction.

It is not clear why he SHOULD help Europe. I think there is a civil war going on there - for example, the commander-in-chief of Ukraine Syrskyi's parents still live in Russia and he himself was born in Russia.

And, let me remind you, Russian ships defended the North from France and Great Britain during the American Civil War.0 -
Yes but that was years ago. Ukraine during ww2 were on Germany side. My brother a history buff tell me this. But we are In the present day.

But civil war now! This is one of the explanations for its cruelty - everyone thinks that he is right, and the enemy is mistaken. In the previous civil war, Britain armed the losing side, since then British Mark V tanks stand there as monuments.

Wrong - Ukraine joined Soviet Union AGAINST Nazi Germany in WW2 !!!
And stayed aligned with Soviet Union until 1991, when a referendum registered 81.7% of voters who wanted independence………..

haha!
In Western Ukraine, which Stalin took from Poland in 1939 (Poland is part of the Russian Empire) and added to Soviet Ukraine, there was Bandera, who supported the Nazis. Stalin also took over parts of Hungary and Slovakia and added them to Soviet Ukraine, which is why Orban and Fico are against today's war. Eastern Ukraine, where the war is now, fought as partisans against the Nazis.
Very very confusing.
What is Great Britain doing in this tangle of snakes?0 -
81.7% … Over 90%… What other numbers will there be? 1984%?
Let me remind you that these referendums were held under the power and full control of the Communists. For example, EU Kaja Kallas' father has been a member of the Communist Party since 1970. Like Yeltsin (since 1961) and Putin (since 1975).
So the collapse of the USSR was completely controlled by the communist authorities. Zelenskiy is the first who is outside the influence of the Communist Party and it seems he was unable to reach an agreement with the authorities of neighboring countries that left the CPSU.0 -
Today loopy Trump has decided to charge tariffs at 200% on Alcohol from EU - Whether that includes UK (Scotch) is unclear - but could mean that US residents will have to survive on Bourbon instead of Scotch !
oh yes, he bought himself a Tesla yesterday - but is not allowed to drive it !
Because his driving licence expired over 4 years ago, at age 74 and has not been renewed !!
Can you imagine Trump driving any car - he would be extremely dangerous, demanding the right of way at every junction
1 -
That's not exactly true. It's a retaliation threat of imposing a 200% tarriff on the EU if it doesn't remove the 50% tarriff they've imposed on American whiskey.
Let's see where the chess pieces move again.

@Wibbles that gave me a laugh thank you 😊!! We need to be able to laugh, i wouldn't stop crying i think if I started. He'd probably think of something to ban everyone from driving/wrong colour car etc so he'd have the roads all to himself. My eyes have rolled so much 🙄🤨🤣 since he got in and all his shenanigans. Might send him my opticians bill if it damages my eyes. He's dangerously deranged 😪🥹
