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!

it's costing him something like $1bn a day to continue this.
that's without factoring in the impact on energy prices and more importantly - borrowing costs.
10yr treasury has now gone north of 4.1%.

it also appears to have caused some serious fractions within his support.

It is interesting to see Trump now firmly in the pocket of Bibi.

This venture into Iran is where Trump has jumped the shark and it’s good to see the rest of nato staying firm in readiness but not getting dragged into this illegal enterprise.

Which they are now trying to do.
Then there are other separatist minorities such as the Balochs and Turkmen in Iran.
Provoking civil war is not a wise move.

What tbe fuck was Trump doing babbling on about the curtains? And some think this is normal behaviour. Dont get me started anout his China and Ice Hockey rant. Time he put his incontinence pants on and head for Shady Oaks.

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.
I've heard that before, I think it was Hugh Grant playing the Prime Minister. 
 
 
Harold Wilson before that with Vietnam.

The Shah was reasonably helpful to the west so was tolerated 
Better prospect than some beardy religious fanatic 
Hopefully one day the people of Iran can live a normal free life especially the women who are terrorised by said beardy cunts 

Has Trump decided how he gets out of this war now that he has got into it?
Then he can add it to his list of wars he has ended
So much for America first & no more foreign wars
