So his two biggest allies in Maduro and ayatollah khamenei get taken out After Assad was removed undoubtedlly a big win for the us (and had to flee to Russia) and his other major ally in Cuba is blockaded and that counts as Mates???
Half acer? Whats that in hectares?
Small ones #can#.
Didn't say they were mates. Said that Trump was under the influence of Putin. Interesting the Trump has let Russian oil (which is in theory blacklisted) be delivered to Cuba (which is under blockade).
Under the influence of Poitín?
As i say its a small tractor not a lawnmower only 13 Horse Power
Anyway ....... DT says the talks are going well and he has offered them "open the Straits of Hormuz" or "Kharg Island won`t be there anymore."
Go hard or go home.
Sounds like suicide . If they know where it is there’s a possibility that it’s under ground and very well protected. Even the Israel’s would go in . Anyway hasn’t this war been won at least 3 or 4 times over the last few weeks.Well they`ve "only" got 440kg or so ........... out of the 2,000 tonnes around the world.
What, & miss out on a bit of insider trading.
Possibly but it wont happen, how would we kick the worlds largest superpower out of the uk? And secondly they support a lot of uk jobs by being here. And thirdly we probably still need them untill we in Europe are prepared to spend 1.2 trillion a year on defense in a semi sane manner and pan eurooean defense spending hasnt been sane or sensible in my lifetime. Too much self interest from the individual countries
And i certainly dont mean the brave people who join to fight (which is what our armed forces primary role is) often without adequate equipment. I mean the civil servants and politicians who have underfunded them inadequately housed them and procured badly.
Trump was bailed out by Russian oligarchs from one of his six bankrumptcies before he became a politician at a time when his friendship with Epstein was at it's peak. This is why the Russian state worked for a Trump victory for decades. He is a Russian asset. The USA have an emargo of oil imports to Cuba in order to soften up that country before it is attacked. Russia have sent an oil tanker to help their allies. When asked about it Trump said 'it's Russia so I don't mind that'. Bear in mind that one of his justifications for attacking Venezuela was that he was angry that they were supplying Cuba with oil.
All very easy when the Yanks are footing the bill.The telegraph nails it https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/01/why-nato-will-be-so-exposed-without-the-us/
We are dependent on the US because of 30 plus years of choosing to be so. Every predident since Clinton has banged on about European defense spending. We dont have the capacity because we prioritise other things. Well in a survival of the fittest world we are about to see how that plays out. The first sea lord said we wouldnt be ready for any war till the end of the decade thats with us ramping up
First Sea Lord admits Royal Navy is 'not ready for war' amid criticism from the US
Sir Gwyn Jenkins said, according to a defence probe last year, the Royal Navy would not be war-ready until the end of this decadewww.forcesnews.com
Our armed forces are a shadow of the ones i joined 20 years ago. It is a national embarrasment.
Absolutely. I dont think it will either. Europe is a rich continent they should be defending themselves and exercising hard power on the world stage the americans I have spoken to are not massive fans of European freeloading and relying on the US military machine. Kamala Harris said there would have to be more Europeans looking after their own security and china was the main threat to the US before the last election. Some of the biggest critics on European defence spending was Obama and democratic presidents
The first bit may or may not be true. the second part is absolutely about being a soverign country whether that is defending your undersea cables from Russian actions through to keeping ship[ping routes open by force if needed. If we want to embrace globalism (and i'm on record as not being a fan) then that means extending power to protect assets you rely on outside of your country. And for many countries that rely on oil through the Strait of Homuz this means now securing it with military force.
Your regular contortions in continually defending Trump are ludicrous. So you think his being ‘an out of control nutter’ is up for debate! I don’t think there’s any doubt about it and can think of many more powerful adjectives to use. The man doesn’t have a decent bone in his body. (I don’t include his bone spurs in that assertion). And the countries that rely on oil shipped through the Strait of Hormuz now have to secure it by military force? In other words, through no fault of their own, they have to clear up Trump’s mess, whilst he walks away from the situation. Great contortion on your part.
You're the one who's partisan not me. I have critisised Trump many times before (and do in this post) you are the one with Trump derrangement disorder, you are the myopic one on him with the singular viewpoint. I just despise the Iranian regime and either a country is safe in which case there are loads of Iranians in this country who have claimed asylum who can return home or it isnt in which case i support regime change to ensure it is safe to go home. I just see that the biggest threat to the UK and the world is from islamic terrorism (after climate change) and Iran is a state sponsor of that.
