Do you want to insult people or debate the issues? I have raised a number of points which you apparently can't counter.
Fair enough if insults is your version of political debate but that is why Trump is a successful politician, he is better at it than most and political discourse has been lowered to this.

If they do then the narrative changes to where is Putin gonna stop.
Starmer said that the UK agree they do have to start paying their full obligation to NATO and that will commence in 2027. How long is it gonna take to get the extra Billions to fund the war? One would think it would be a priority.
Like I said, they’ve already committed the 2.5% of GDP and shown where it’s coming from.Yeah, well now there’s another bill to pay.

it’s February now and no pensioners have frozen to death. The revised spending in the military has been taken out of foreign aid so the tax payer isn’t any worse off.

Someone’s gotta pay it, unless you want to see the Russians advance. You’ll see, you can’t afford to keep the pensioners warm in the winter as it stands. Something’s gonna have to give.counties happy to support their ally will pay what they can and no more, no one is going to bankrupt themselves you silly twat.

Even now there are still European countries that are not paying their 2.5% requirement for NATO funding.
In the meantime enjoy all the additional cuts in services and watch the National debt explode and inflation to kill your pay check.You’ve lost me, why exactly is the national debt going to explode?

Funny how everyone just expects the U S Taxpayer to keep footing the bill to the tune of 100’s of billions of dollars.
We have $36 Trillion in debt and we are paying over a Trillion per year in interest on that debt. Let’s see how long it takes for Russia to take over the rest of the country without the US taxpayer funding it.
Good luck with that you entitled cսnt! Your life is about to get a lot fucking tougher!
The UK is already paying for it, be it through redistribution of public spending or energy prices/inflation and indirectly borrowing rates.Yeah, well your bill just went up, by a lot!

And all this negotiating with Putin business is naive at best. He must be laughing his head off, all it will do is legitimise the territory he's already annexed and allow him to regroup and get ready to invade Ukraine for a THIRD time. If any of you think he can be reasoned with and will be happy to stop then i worry about your gullibility.
lastly saying Trump is refreshing because he is candid and says exactly what he means then i've got news for you, he doesn't believe a word of what he's saying, how could he? Ukraine started the war? Zelensky is a dictator? The man is either a moron or a pathological liar
