Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

From a Facebook page from Down Under…
Alright, I’m saying this as an Australian who is absolutely sick to death of watching the world hold its breath every time this blabbering blubbering blithering blustering buffoon opens his grotesque mouth.
You see folks, as far as I can tell, from the outside, this is what it looks like: America has elected a man who talks and behaves like a megalomaniac, and the rest of the planet is supposed to just trust that he won’t completely lose his grip on reality and drag us all into catastrophe.
You want to steal Greenland.
You want Cuba to “make a deal before it’s too late”.
You talk about bombing or invading Mexico.
You kidnap a President and knock off the peoples oil in Venezuela.
You joke about annexing Canada like it should be a shopping centre car park you can just claim because you feel like it.
Do you have any idea how insane that sounds to the rest of us?
This isn’t tough talk. This isn’t strategy. This is a deeply unstable old man threatening sovereign nations like he’s flipping over a Monopoly board because he’s losing. This is not normal behaviour. This is not leadership. This is not strength. This is a walking, talking international crisis.
And Americans, this is where it comes back to you. Not just MAGA, not just the people who voted for him, all of you. Because when the President of the United States starts talking about kidnapping leaders, annexing countries, and issuing ultimatums like a mob boss, the rest of the world doesn’t get a vote. We just get the consequences.
You don’t get to shrug and say, “Well I didn’t vote for him.” That might fly at a dinner party, but it doesn’t fly when nuclear powers are watching this circus and recalculating their own red lines. This is your system. Your presidency. Your responsibility.
From the outside, it looks like America lit the fuse and then wandered off while everyone else stands around the bomb wondering who’s going to cut the wire.
And let’s be brutally honest. This man is nearly 80. He’s frail. He’s clearly deteriorating. He is not some long-term visionary playing chess. He’s at the end of his lifespan and acting like nothing matters after him. That is the most dangerous type of leader there is. A man with nothing to lose and an ego that demands constant feeding.
Why should the rest of the world pay for that?
Why should families in Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, anywhere, have to worry about war, trade collapse, energy shocks, or global instability because America couldn’t get its own house in order?
This is not about left or right anymore. This is about basic sanity. This is about stopping a psychopath before he does something irreversible. Because once a war starts, once a country gets invaded, once alliances fracture beyond repair, you don’t get a reset button.
So yes, this falls on Americans. You got the world into this mess, and you damn well better roll your sleeves up and get us out of it. Impeach him. Remove him. Contain him. Do whatever your system allows but do it fast.
Because the rest of us just want to live our lives, raise our families, pay our bills, and not wake up one morning to find out World War Three started because an unhinged old man wanted to feel powerful one last time.
This isn’t funny anymore.
It isn’t theatrical.
It isn’t tolerable.
Get this lunatic under wraps before he ruins it for everyone.

I am NOT obsessed with what is going on in the USA. What concerns me is this country and the state it is falling into. It seems now questioning the effects of mass migration into the UK is grounds enough to bring you to the notice of counter terrorist police. Meanwhile continued Islamic radicalisation goes on in this country unchecked. Even moderate Arab nations are pointing it out it is so blatant. The Left supports the following. Open borders, Palestine, Maduro, the Mullahs of Tehran. Frankly anything that is anti-Western and anti-British and they have the perfect ally in Starmer who is convinced the threat to this country is from what he terms the far right.

We do NOT have mass migration into the UK, most of us do not care one jot for genocide and what is laughingly referred to as the "far right" is being overrun with sad old Tories. What concerns me the most at present is NATO putting boots on the ground in Greenland and Starmer saying we need to reincarnate "Dad's Army" to fight those pesky Russians. Yanks to the North, Russians to the Right and here I am stuck in the middle with you.

A friend who knows a lot more than I do about America’s armed forces recently wrote:

There are four kinds of people who join the armed forces: those from a traditional military family, true patriots who want to serve their country, those with no other prospects who need a job, and psychotics who just want to kill people.The armed services do a pretty decent job of screening out the fourth group, but that group is now the prime recruitment pool for ICE. Racists, haters, gun nuts, and cage fighting fans who want to shoot anyone the least bit different from them. They are becoming America’s Gestapo. That is no exaggeration. We’re slipping into Nazi Germany.

He’s exactly right.

Are there any levels the Orange Manchild won't stoop too?

Blackmail, rape, extortion? He make Al Capone seem reasonable.

Donald Trump said the UK will be charged a 10% tariff “on any and all goods” sent to the US from February 1, increased to 25% from June 1, until a deal is reached to buy Greenland from Denmark.

The US president said European countries, including the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Finland, had “journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown”.

FFS mon ami, not again, you do spend an inordinate amount of time copying and pasting from Facebook. Have you not yet realised it's just a Loony Left Echo Chamber ? I don't know why you bother mon ami, you've proved over and over again you're well capable of making up your own TDS inspired drivel without dumping this inane ****e on us as well.

Trump has lost the plot, utterly, completely, woefully. What next?

Trump has lost the plot, utterly, completely, woefully. What next?

Some facts for you mon ami, that's what's next.

Fact 1, President Clinton, 12.5 million Deportations, 0 Protests/Riots
Fact 2 President Bush, 10.3 million Deportations, 0 Protests/Riots
Fact 3 President Obama, 5.2 million Deportations, 0 Protests Riots
Fact 4 president Trump, 1.5 million Deportations, 350 Protests/Riots

Seems to me it's the loony left, the globalists, the radicalised, TDS infected, progressive extremists who are losing the plot mon ami,

Neither Bush nor Obama were using Gestapo tactics or turning the US into a militarized zone to shift a few illegals mon ami.

On another matter, what do you Farage supporters think of his New Tory Lite Party?

Starmer went up a few notches in my opinion this morning by basically telling the Tangerine Clown to pfhuck right off.
