Trump's vision is so myopic that he can't see beyond his own nose. Same for is ability to care. If the US reneges on promises made as detailed in the Budapest Memorandum what chance will they have in other such promises. Countries are watching. This is doubly ironic as Trump keeps talking about nuclear war.

You're right about the US's military, but you know who also had an outstanding military? Almost all (now dead) empires. I think it stretches exceptionalism beyond all credibility to think the US will buck this trend. That the US empire will be thought of in the past tense is pretty much inevitable, I'm most worried about how it goes. Will it be with a bang, or a whimper. I fearful of the former as they can mount a pretty big bang.

Trouble is, with the funding gone, the choice they now have is fight and die, or negotiate a settlement and most probably die. But slower. Probably. Ultimately, an independent Ukraine was a wonderful dream. Time to wake up. And with it any faith that the US will have to keep it's promises.

Even if you're right, here. Trump will petition the supreme court to have the count stopped. Memories of Bush v Gore.

Charity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim.

-- Clement Attlee

 

This is what happens when successive US governments fail to tackle inequality. While millions of people live in poverty, a handful grow unimaginably rich. Wealth begets wealth, and they acquire political power to match. It was inevitable that one of them – now the richest man on Earth – would launch what looks like a bid for world domination...

While prima facie, that's true, your reply doesn't mention that anything has been uncovered coupled with the fact that Trump has a history with frivolous and vexatious litigation kinda makes me think this is nothing more than pretext. Though the boy that cried wolf is a parable for a reason. So one shouldn't drop their guard. It's just a shame one man can clog up the court to this extent. There are remedies that courts can take against vexatious litigants, though.

So, basically if you can establish a spurious link between support for Palestine and support for Hamas then you get to call them terrorist and curtail that person's constitutional rights.

Benjamin Netanyahu must be sweating himself.

Assuming the reports are true and putting both things together, Israel is lead by at the very least a terrorist sympathizer.

Kirsty's question about which character had first resonated with her as a child, saying: "Oh, Fagin. Without question. Jewish and vile. I didn't know Jews like that then sadly, I do now."

Despite laughter from the audience, the BBC decided to remove the remarks from the broadcast.

 

I was just thinking, will the Conservative party take the same path as the Republicans and merge with our MAGA? Or, will their encounter with Boris Johnson be enough of our MAGA?

 

I guess it's time to vote. I mourn the loss of STV.

 

On one hand she says: "No more identity politics." And the other she says: "I am a Christian"... Do they even proof read their copy!?

 

Hello, I'm looking to purchase this film. Unfortunately, it looks to be unobtainium. Does anyone know where one may get a copy?
