He is now claiming that Starmer is seeking to join the war now that victory is won. A bit like the US joining WW2 three years too late and then claiming that they won the war. Anyway, what victory? He is an absolute imbecile.

Yep, and it's telling that Blair (who got us into the war with Iraq by blindly following Bush) is being similarly critical of Starmer. Then again, both Badenoch and Farage are also saying the same.Quote:

Difficult to see Trump's end game here, not least because of all the mixed messages coming out of the White House. Some of those rumoured to have been seen by the US as potential replacement leaders have also already been killed in the strikes and the actions of the US and Israel have only led to wider instability in the region along with the global impact on oil prices.
Ukraine will doubtless be happy as the supply of Iranian made drones to Russia will have been severely hampered but this seems more of a side benefit of Trump's actions rather than a deliberate consideration-if Trump was that concerned for Ukraine he would have been far more supportive of Zelensky against Putin in the first place.
These latest comments from the Toddler in Chief should come as no surprise though. He is a narcissist who shows no grasp of history and demonstrates no respect to anyone unless they are brown-nosing him.
Ukraine may not be so happy as the stocks of US weapons and munitions are being used up at an alarming rate, these are munitions that could otherwise be used effectively by Ukraine. Unfortunately, Putin may be quite pleased with all this!
As you say, Blair took us into an illegal war and should be the last person to make comment. I am also in agreement that Starmer is not a good PM but is correct on this issue.Quote:

Trump, in my opinion, is unhinged, although he is probably correct in trying to rid the World of an appalling Islamic regime, which is a threat to the World and even its own people. I don?t blame Israel, either, for removing the permanent threat to their existence from the mad Mullahs of Iran. Starmer, though, is as useful as a cardboard cutout, unfit to be PM.

Starmer is an absolute laughing stock and should look at Meloni for a good strong leader!
I thought you might have respect for her for some reason?Quote:

No he does not represent the people. The armed forces think he?s an embarrassment. I have a close family member on the Cyprus base in the RAF! They all think he?s a joke,Quote:
