US Politics Thread

Post stubbo-admin »

Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

Trump : This is not Winston Churchill we are dealing with

Unfortunately the US President is JFK after a drive down Dealey Plaza or Abraham Lincoln after a night at the theatre

Geezer's proper thick. That's all he's proving.
Not for me, I’d rather the U.K. didn’t get involved at all.

Trump has been very clear on how he views the ‘special relationship’ and it’s completely one sided.

All getting a bit ‘Love Actually’ with Trump & Starmer.

The ginger muppet is now threatening to cut off trade with Spain because they dared to say ‘no’.

Nothing to do with this war or their status in the world, but it seems rather a lot of cash to just hand over to a much wealthier country, especially if it's tax receipts from Israeli citizens.
Donors from the US billionaires undercover donors
Exactly what I was hinting at, assisted by a plethora of righteous Christian churches donating to Israeli "charitable causes", without asking too many questions about where the money ends up.

What do think might happen to Israel if they didn’t have the US in their corner letting them do whatever they want?

Sven.

Give it a rest,you're sounding like a bit of a desperate cսnt. The Dems sat on the Epstein files for 4 years, had they had something to say,they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of inventing laws to bang him up.

I’m currently reading an account of the Eastern Front of WW1.
The ordinary troops and non combatants were slaughtered in 100s of thousands. Austro-Hungarians had 700,000 casualties in the first three months of 1915.
The alternative would be to take out the leaders. 

This seems to be the policy of Israel and the USA.

If you’re a cսnt we’re coming for you.

do you not think that October 7th was the catalyst that sparked the retaliation?... Iran was central to it all.

let's forget all the decades of terror from not only from Iran but from their proxies Hamas, Hezbollah & the Houthi's that said, let's blame Israel for the years of unrest in the region.

The history books on that score will judge him extremely favourably over the course of his two terms. The World will be in a much safer place once he's finished his 2nd term for years to come.
I reckon George bush thought the same thing.

That Berks involvement in the middle east doesn't come close to how Trump has managed it. 
Trumps involvement in the middle east:

Whilst Israel were obliterating Gaza, dropping bombs on schools and hospitals and preventing anyone from receiving any kind of aid, Trump was presenting his plans for the Riviera of the East which would be built on the blood of millions of Palestinians.

That was just the stats...

I personally didn't and many like me agreed at the time. What was it, an estimated million or so that marched in London. The difference with that and Iran is not only their 50 year war waged on the western world and in the middle east by terrorist proxy but also they didn't ramp up nuclear capability to over 60% for no other reason than to use it as a weapon, they only need 3% enrichment for domestic energy use only. That shit back in Iraq under Hussain was clearly (to me) sexed up to fuck back then to justify that campaign.
Everything was clear long after the invasion had started.
Everyone thought removing the taliban was the right thing to do at the time as well.

The US intelligence suggested last year that Iran had been set back decades in their quest for nuclear weapons. Did they lie?

If it’s about nuclear capability then why aren’t they bombing North Korea?

History won’t be judging these actions on what happens today, it’s the next month and what follows on.
North Korea wouldn't dare use a nuke as it would be the finish of them
The mad mullahs of Iran would use a nuke as their thinking is completely different and welcome death with 72 virgins waiting for each nutter
They have openly said they would destroy Israel 

Going on any Free Palestinian marches goosestep? 
If anyone uses a nuke it will be the end of all of us.
North Korea threatened to turn Seoul into a sea of fire, how’s that different?
