Given our government and Home Secretary, she should get Reprieve on the case pretty sharpish. Edited October 6, 2020 by snowychap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve nailed their colours to his mast so tightly, when he goes, so does their credibility. Fox is too engrained at this point. Far too late. Similar will happen here once Britain First(GB news?) launches in the new year. Edited October 7, 2020 by dudevillaisnice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 That new medicine genuinly seems to have tipped him from being a racist idiotic wackadoodle to going full mental case ready for retirement. And that latest ending of the stimulus talk before after the selection. I dunno man. It kinda reads to me as a child have a tantrum. You're not doing what I want, so now you're all going to suffer. Anyone think the Democrats care? Yeah that's gonna turn that polling around. Lost it. Completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Biden says what is obvious, no second debate if Trump still has the infection. No doubt Trump will tell us all that Biden is running scared and he’s ready to go. Edited October 7, 2020 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many presidential debates are there? 3-4? Trump absolutely tanked the first one and still isn't doing too well on the polling data. Cancelling one debate would play right into his hands.

chrisp65 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Genuine question this one: Has Trump started or extended any wars or bombing or general international violence during his tenure. Anything over and above what was already going on under Obama and all the previous Presidents? I know he’s given the Palestinians a kicking. He’s also got a couple of countries in dialogue with Israel. But your actual drone strikes and US planes etc.? Anything in 4 years? Has this been an unprecedented quiet time for direct US military action? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were/are involved in the Daesh & Syria conflicts as everyone else and silent partner in the Saudi vs Iran proxy war in Yemen. And that spectacular failure in Venezuela.

Genie Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 He’s quite busy getting lots of people killed on US soil through his own reckless attitude to wards Covid-19. It’ll be interesting what the final death toll is, and what it could have been if he’d taken it seriously. It could turn out be more deadly than if they’d had a war, but without the access to somebody else’s natural resources to show for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (maybe mistakenly) took the premise of your question to be something like 'has he contributed more to world war than a replacement-level Democrat would have done?', and on that frankly I think he probably hasn't, or that it's pretty marginal. Joe Biden and Hilary Clinton are/were not foreign policy 'doves', and they would probably have done much the same in Syria and Yemen. You would hope they would have been more cautious than assassinating Soleimani. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would hope they would have been more cautious than assassinating Soleimani. Yeah, kinda. We might not like him, but he was elected. What he does within his own borders is pretty much their concern and their mistake or master stroke to vote in or vote out. It was the unremittingly ‘bad’ press he receives as an idiot. When, perhaps, Gulf Wars and Nicaragua and Cuba and Chile etc etc aren’t looked back on as horrific acts that have killed (probably) millions in total. I’m not out to defend the guy, but if internationally they’ve committed less acts of murder or illegal war, perhaps that’s worth noting. There’s an obvious counter that a US military retreat allows China / Russia to bully more states. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
