The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

Sssssh! Don’t tell Goose.

I gave you this lesson yesterday.
Refer back to my posts about net exports & inventories. Strip them away then talk to me about demand.

I’m gonna completely ignore the fact that #1 and #2 completely disregard health care in the US which is paid for outside of the pay cheque.

id much rather live on the continent with higher life expectancies, better healthcare, free education and proper football.

oh and best of all, no dumb Americans.

always find it strange, an apparent ex british citizen enjoying/welcoming the demise of his birth country because of some sick devotion to an orange oddball cսnt

Actually if you read what I wrote I am not welcoming our demise, in fact the opposite. I think Trump is bang on point when he comments on the current state of Europe.

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

fuck me, you really going to defend that cսnt over that statement, all this "what he meant was" hand wringing is sickening 

I think you have this the wrong way round. It's you that's guessing what he meant. I'm simply repeating what he actually said. Which was that Britain avoided the front line in Afghanistan. Factually true. And not a criticism of British troops.

That is weapons grade straw clutching.
As others have said they were based in Helmand province which was one of the most dangerous places in Aghanistan and got blown up and attacked regularly. Special Forces fought behind the lines alongside US Special forces. 
He said it, meant it and it was a pack of lies.

 

 

He actually attacked the countries, not the troops. Here's the full quote. Only a Grade 1 TDS sufferer would claim he is attacking the actual soldiers.

"We’ve never needed them (Nato member countries). We have never really asked anything of them. They’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that, and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."

[WHU(Exeter)]

And the US can crack on with it's being a world superpower, whilst also trying to be isonationalist at the same time.

Fuck me, even Somalialand could've worked out the two things aren't compatable in the 100 plus years, the US have battled with that toughie 

[Nutsin]

I think your angst is somewhat misdirected, judging by this if true, is your real problem.

Can’t blame Trump for your reality. Your future looks fucking miserable and I hate that Europe is in such a self imposed mess. Fuck the Globalists and the EU.

British troops performed badly in both Iraq and Afghanistan, not because the troops were anything less than brave and utterly professional, but because they were criminally ill-equipped by Blair, Brown and Cameron. Furthermore the military leaders lacked the stones to admit this. This was well-documented at the time.

Trump's word are a criticism of the uselessness of their leaders and the leaders of other NATO nations and their continuing failure to properly fund the armed forces, not the troops.

Over 450 British, not to mention other nations, troops dying because of NATO’s  Article 5 in Afghanistan after 9/11. Yet the dementia ridden man-child appears to think that the nations that stood side by side with American troops weren’t on the ‘front line’, as the septics obviously were.
The cսnt’s fucking deluded, and I truly wish that for the memory of our, and other nations fallen, he dies a lingering death.
The cսnt has finally shown his true colour.

How do you know what Trump "meant?" Are you the fucking rapist whisperer, or something?

You’re not embarrassed to admit it are you? I bet Anon has a couple of Cats.

Like i said, i hate cats.

I reckon you have a goldfish to go with the diabetes and elasticated jeans. Likely picked to give you a run for your money in the IQ stakes.

No need to explain Nutsin I get it.

The US is an infant country, already in terminal decline. I guess there's a limit worldwide, for the countries main two exports of stupidity and obesity.

Just as well Trump ends wars then isn’t it?

It would appear Trumps hurty words are just too much for some.
As For the Mong who thinks if NATO collapses the European Gov’ts won’t have to pay 5% of their GDP for defense any more, I ask how you gonna defend yourself from Putin?

It’s like listening to a bunch of old housewives complain.

What a bunch of mincers!

Gotta laugh!

 

Jesus Christ Nutsack, give Putin time to take over the rest of Europe, hes currently 1400 days into his 48 hour military operation in Ukraine. 

[Nutsin]

You could be right about the 5% thing Nutsin, might have to raise it a lot more, if the BOSS goes full circle and starts actively supporting Putin, instead of just appeasing him.

(What is it with that relationship? I would've thought the leader of the worlds biggest stupidpower would have Putin in his pocket, rather than the other way round)

Wonder what the % of our GDP was spent towards aiding the infant nation stupidpower in Iraq and Afghanistan 

Reckon we could get a refund?

I’d try and explain it to you Exeter but O’d be wasting my time, you wouldn’t understand.

You got a cat?

[Nutsin]

I'm sure a few hundred housewives have plenty to complain about considering their husbands didn't come home from a war Trump said they weren't asked for or needed in the first place

Surface = Lord Haw-Haw

I stand corrected. The British Army is more than generously funded and equipped and its c.35,000 front-line troops are more than adequate for all tasks that our megalomaniac leaders set them.

I don't see anyone denying that, just your statement they weren't fighting on the front line.
