Trump

mbk is struggling to come up with anything meaningful as always

Perhaps he mistakenly believes that Starmer should not put out a statement, or summat?

Very strange thing to say regardless. Perhaps he's gone into hiding like filly did when Trump first started insulting our British Armed Forces.

The message in the link I just posted from Shawn VanDiver, a US Navy veteran, makes you proud doesnt it?


"We see you. We know you were right there with us."

That was the message from Shawn VanDiver, a US Navy veteran, after President Trump claimed Nato allies "stayed a little back" from the front lines during the war in Afghanistan.

VanDiver, who served off the coast of Iraq and now leads Afghan EVAC, a group that helps Afghan wartime allies resettle, tells the BBC the president’s comments were "just not true", saying Nato forces fought "right alongside American forces" in Afghanistan and beyond.

"We could not have accomplished what we did without them," he tells me.

"I recall numerous times working alongside British troops while I served in the military, and I’m ****ed off that the president would diminish their contributions," he says, adding many American veterans would feel the same way, given the close bonds forged in combat.

Asked how British families who lost loved ones in Afghanistan might be feeling, VanDiver said they would likely feel "betrayed", adding: "What I would say to those families is I’m sorry."

I usually like Trump but jeezzz he went too far...

Starmer did the right thing, OMG never ever thought I'd think that.

Starmer calls Trump's remarks about Nato troops in Afghanistan 'insulting and frankly appalling'

Veterans and bereaved families call the comments "very disrespectful" and "soul-destroying", as Keir Starmer says: "I’m not surprised they’ve cause such hurt."

This is one of the worst things hes said in my opinion, what makes it worse for us is my wife worked at the Queen Elisabeth hospital in Birmingham (and later a brain injury unit) and the amount of people she cared for who lost legs etc in that war, and to say they held back OMG.

I'm not sure about horn smoking, but there's a lot of gum flapping going on.

One has to ask where farage stands on all this...

Last thing we heard from him was "The world would be a “better, more secure place” if America took over Greenland, Nigel Farage said at Davos"

The usual suspects tend to back both him and the orange rapist, so where is their condemnation of their 'little messiah'?

Yep, I'm not too far from the now closed Headley court (vets hospital), lots of poor young chaps dealing with the after effects of being on the front line and my BnIL served in Afghanistan too. Trump needs to apologies, but asking privately would be the best way.

Not to make light of it, but I did find it stupid to be saying "you'd all be speaking German..." in Switzerland.

Donald Trump is wrong. For 20 years our armed forces fought bravely alongside America's in Afghanistan.

I read an interesting article in Time just before Christmas. The thrust of it was that we had seen 'peak' Trump and it would be all downhill for him from now on. I didn't expect it to happen so soon. The sad old duffer is spiralling faster than most people thought possible. There is talk everywhere, from sensible centrist commentators, that he is seriously mentally unwell. And because of his particular issues, such as malignant narcissism, something massive and disastrous is brewing. Hopefully, there will be a blue wave in November and Congress can start to rein him in.

He's off to china soon. That will be interesting.

I recall his last presidency going exactly the same. A few good ideas, a bit of getting things done and then it all went weird.

Trump is desperate to leave his mark in history, but not in infamy. Barak Obama lives rent free inside his head, simply because he was recognised globally and was respected. Trump yearns for the same. His first term was a disaster and ended miserably. His second term is marked as a revenge fest which is equally as reprehensible if it wasn't for the failures. His cabinet is a joke. I can only imagine the chaos visible, inside the ropes.

Something calamitous will happen, and it wont be pretty. The world will thankfully return to normal one day.

So who's worse

Trump or Putin?

I cant wait to see what Trump says when he comments on what Starmer has said.

Belated comment from the 'man of the people' when he suddenly realised he'd f*cked up and backed the wrong guy rapist!
