(ballcock ) Nobody gives one about the middle east, all eyes are now on the Ukraine.''

Not so sure about that B C? Perhaps forgotten for the moment but when prices rise ??

The Suez Canal is approximately 120 miles (193 kilometers) long, with an average transit time of 12 to 16 hours. Serving as a crucial artificial waterway, it allows ships to bypass the lengthy and hazardous trip around the southern tip of Africa.

Surely if that passage was stopped the prices of goods in the UK would rise. Then the complaints would be heard.

Trump and Vance arranged that staged attack on Zelenski as payback to Putin, why else would they behave in such a crass maner knowing the TV cameras were capturing it for all to see. It was typical of Trump's time on a reality tv show, he is a loudmouth bully, I also think that Vance may be even worse than Trump if that is possible.

You've wasted enough of your life reading a Trump speech VC, so I don't expect you to sit through the entirety of the televised Presser with Trump, Vance and Zelinsky, but if you watched the whole 40 minutes you would know why they behaved the way they did. The arrogant, backsliding, little sh1t was lucky he didn't get booted out earlier. Of course the MSM don't show Zelensky's crass, rude behaviour, just Trump and Vance apparently bullying him, so the vast majority of people don't really know what they're talking about.

You remind me a lot of that Moseley chap who thought Hitler was doing a good job mon ami. Each to their own eh? Trump has just pulled all military aid to Ukraine, Putin must be pi$$ing himself.

Trump has just pulled all military aid to Ukraine.

Which means the dictator/comedian will now sign up to the deal quicker than a rat up a drain, Putin will be glad of the chance to extricate himself from the mess he's got himself into and the war will soon be over, the killing and destruction will cease. Happy days all round eh, no war, no killing, no wanton destruction, what's not to like ? Thank you President Trump.

I’m not at all sure Velenskyy will surrender the Ukraine to Putin and Trump. Israel have already said they will supply arms to Ukraine. I will laugh my cock off if they do.

News report from Spanish sources, Canada and China and Mexico have all told Trump to do one. The benefits of trade are reciprocal and Trump just doesn’t seem to get that. France, Germany and Israel have all said they will fill the void left by Trump’s refusal to equip Ukraine. Oh! The joys.

That would be the Germany that was using broomsticks on NATO exercises because they had no rifles I presume ? Israel said they'd send some of the crap they'd captured off Hezbollah to Ukraine, but that was six weeks ago. Anyway no need, like I said, no worries, Mr Z has seen sense, the Donald wins again.

"Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky plan to sign the much-debated rare earth minerals deal tonight, sources have claimed."

God bless America.

Trump now claims one way or the other Greenland is becoming an American colony, same goes for the Panama Canal. He’s one ruthless big bully, that is for sure. I’m waiting with bated breath to see how Trump and Putin are going to carve Ukraine up. Peace my arse, the only piece Trump wants is a piece of Ukrainian wealth.
