Election Year or Fear!

It seems the Israeli PM/war monger hasn't read the script, its about time he was taken to task for his actions, possibly Trump will lose patience with him? Not that Trump has any patience!

Now its clear that we have a borderline pyschopath and a rather dumb one at that as the US President. When will his fellow citizens get the courage to put a stop to this nonsense before he plunges the world into terminal chaos?

Oh and even if you've booked and paid for your hoilday flights, it seems as I predicted that fuel surcharges are being applied now, but a shortage of jet fuel may create mass cancellations if matters aren't resolved very quickly.

That is just about how I see it too.

Feels as if the world is being held to ransom by a combination of the deranged POTUS and Netanyahu who has been doing a decent impression of Ming the Merciless for the last three or four years.

Perhaps the completely disastrous scenario regarding the Strait of Hormuz wasn’t entirely predicted by Trump and his cronies, in which case their incompetence as regards military and economic strategy has been frankly astonishing.

More likely, in Netanyahu’s case, he - and his supporters - see an extension of this conflict as a means of justifying further atrocities and postponing his eventual and surely inevitable trial for war crimes.

Has there ever been a time since the end of WWII when our world leaders (the two aforementioned plus Putin) have been so incompetent and unscrupulously lacking in morality?

Trump and Netanyahu make Putin look positively sane and reasonable, which says a lot!

Think the Ukrainians might disagree, but I know what you mean. The bar is at an all time low and he’s certainly no worse. The ‘might is right’ philosophy just sees the world being run by unscrupulous bullies at the moment.
