There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

You have gone mad.
Just relax a bit; It will help.
The only mad people around are the gimps that still support what the Beuracrats in Europe are doing to the Continent. Perhaps you should wake up it will help.
not sure if the possibility has occurred to your tiny fundamentalist brain but it's possibly to be critical of both EU/UK domestic policy, and US foreign policy simultaneously 
A fence sitter would say. Or a Liberal trying to pretend he isn’t one.

I call it picking a side. Trumps foreign policy is bang on point, you don’t have to agree with everything but overall his foreign policy will save you from you pathetic tyrannical British Gov’t and unelected Bureaucratic EU governance. While putting America first. Yeah I like what he’s doing, long may it continue.

I’m not afraid to pick a side and I choose the side that is anti Globalism that believes in honest and fair elections and who is Governed by elected officials. A Government that protects its Citizens and culture and free Speech. One that believes in Lower taxes and puts its own people first. Not one that you currently live under and support.

Name me one other person that could tackle today’s problems as well as Trump. Love him or hate him he ain’t fucking around and he’s put the world on notice. He’ll go down as one of the best ever.

If he was in charge of the UK your boat people problem would have been fixed years ago as would your Islamist problem. And you sit and criticize like a typical fuckwit would.

Truly pathetic!

All he’s doing is making food, agriculture and pharmaceutical imports more expensive for the US consumer or US importers.

about 30% of US pharmaceutical imports come from the EU, and c20% of food and agriculture imports.

btw with modern technology it’s still almost impossible to shoot down 1 hypersonic missile. Just one. 
it’s like trying to shoot a bullet with a bullet.
Yeah but Tariffs work, they have not caused inflation in the USA and the EU understands it needs the US consumer. Already drug prices have been slashed by Trump for the US consumer. 

As for modern technology, The Patriot missile defense system is already shooting a bullet with a bullet. Trumps Golden Dome will be like his border wall, effective and worth every penny.

Funny how all these Liberal forecasts are always negative and always dead wrong. It’s as if their parents were cousins such is their absolute train wreck of policy and governance. Liberals really shouldn’t be allowed out in public unsupervised.

Or just joining a party more closely aligned to their own politics?
 
Like Jenrick who said Farage could not run a 5 aside team and Zahawi who threw the racist card at Farage and said he would be frightened to live in Britain under him?

I think rats leaving a sinking ship is the perfect analogy.

For years Farage has said dont trust a tory, he's welcoming them en masse now.



 
Politicians sling a bit of mud in the past shocker.

It's all a big fucking game, when all is said and done, they are more aligned to Reform. The Tory Party has been a left centre party since the day Cameron took over.

The party is miles away from what it should stand for, it's not their fault the ship is sinking. It went against the will of the people by not properly navigating Brexit, and it died off the back of it, and will never recover.

You can't use your brain on any of this, becausebeca're blinded by your hatred of Reform. They are the only show in town now, for better or not as bad.
Glad you agree with the analogy ED son.

The common theme with Trump is he wants to end the extreme left. He wants to bring down the EU and the Canadian Gov’t. He wants to be able to protect the USA from Russian hypersonic missiles which is why he wants Greenland, Denmark are incapable. After all the years of propping up NATO and all the Billions given to Ukraine you’d think the EU would show a little gratitude and understanding to an Ally’s concerns. Especially an Ally that you need on your side ffs!

He wants to topple the EU and Canadian government? interesting.... He doesnt need to literally own Greenland, he's been offered all the military bases he wants there. We all know why he really wants ownership, even you. Stop pretending you don't know its a landgrab for resources.

So if he decides he wants any country in the world, even NATO one, for "protection" reasons, you're just going to blindly support it are you? TDS at his strongest in every post you write

What makes you think they hard way is war? 
What he's said, unless you think numerous new outlets are just talking it up. Now, if it really came to there being a credible imminent threat of an alternative of China / Russia taking Greenland by force he might have a point but there's little evidence to suggest it unless he is somehow ITK on something. 
Ok, so you don't think he means the sanctions then, he means war? 
 
 
I think he says a lot that he doesn’t mean and shouldn’t say. I don’t honestly think for one minute the US “invades” Greenland, but then why imply it? Maybe he enjoys watching the other NATO counties take the bait and send their troops to Greenland as a retaliatory “gesture”

I enjoyed Trump's take on why the Danes don't own Greenland:

‘Just because some Danes landed in Greenland on a ship some 500 years ago, it doesn’t mean it’s theirs.’


and they say Americans dont get irony.................
