Trump has revived the Monroe doctrine, he has renamed it the Donroe doctrine. It effectively ends democracy in South America. Of course people there can still go to the ballot box and vote but if Trump doesn't like the government they put in power, then, he will remove that government by force...

Americans don't need anyone. John Wayne won the war in the Pacific and Europe all at the same time , without even leaving Hollywood.

International law is a bit like the Loch Ness monster, everyone has heard of it, people have read about it but are sceptical as to whether it really exists.

It isn't really about drugs. When the Americans invaded Panama, they used the same excuse, they arrested Panamanian dictator Noriega and charged him with drug trafficking. It did nothing to stem the flow of drugs into America.

Holds it back from what? Without American weapons ,money and support at the UN , life would be very difficult.

Little Israel couldn't survive on its own. Its merely the cutting edge of American and European policy in the region.

I watched part of it as well. All the bombast and belligerence was a sign of fear rather than strength. The Americans flatter to deceive, knocking over a broken down 3rd world country proves nothing, yet its all backslapping and congratulating themselves.

Democratically elected dictatorship. You seem to think your opinion counts for something. Why is it that time after time the people never seem to get the government they vote for. A bit like the definition of insanity, you keep making the same mistake over and over and expect a different result...

Iran was a dictatorship before 1979.

Another reason could be the cost of extraction, American shale oil costs a lot more a barrel to extract than Saudi Arabian oil for example. If the price of oil drops to low , then a lot of these American Shale oil wells become unviable.

Trump is taking the world backwards, back to the days of gunboat diplomacy. Rather than lead through example, he will lead through fear and intimidation of smaller countries.

All part of the playbook. Sanction a country to wreck the economy. Then use agitators to destabilise the country internally. The media then paints a picture of a country run by tyrants. The above scenario is then used to justify a "Humanitarian intervention" to rescue the oppressed population...

Nothing new there.

Don't watch TV much. I like the radio. It's the 75th anniversary of the Archers.

Thats my point exactly. Apart from creating death and destruction and millions of refugees heading for Europe and maybe a town near you. What else has this clown got to offer the world.

Those at the top know it. Why do think Trumps favourite slogan is "Make America Great Again". The rest of the world is starting to dump the American dollar, they are losing confidence in America as a safe place to do business. American power rests on a mountain of debt, while other countries...

Trumps America is the biggest threat to world peace since Hitler. They have nothing to offer the world except chaos and decline. The problem is that they know it.

My New year's resolution is not to make any more New Year resolutions as I never stick to them.

A professional surveyor should look at the work that has been carried out and if in his opinion, a lot of it was unnecessary, then the 'roofers' should be prosecuted for fraud.

Trading standards should be involved. Builders and roofers should be licenced. I think in Germany you can't trade as a builder without having a professional qualification, same as an Architect has to have a professional qualification. Anyone calling themselves building contractors without...
