Sounds like the orange narcissist has gone too far
« on: 23 January 2026, 18:34:56 »

Politicians across Europe are not holding back this time, they are calling a spade a spade. About time. There's nothing anyone can do about it, of course, but if the opportunity arises, I'm sure the knife will go in deep.

The man is a total disgrace, if what I've read is true apparently his father paid a doctor to rule that he was medically unfit to serve in the US forces, and he has the gall to criticise our armed forces " held back from the front line" a lot of families will be very upset & angry at this comment about family members that have served and died or returned with catastrophic injuries, I know I am.

Must be fake news because there's nothing on CNN about it... :-\

Apparently he suggested that the contribution of NATO during its time in Afghanistan fell short of the mark.

Notwithstanding that the US is part of that very same NATO, nor the total shit show that passed for the US withdrawal under Sippy Cup, (Donald even got the blame for that).

SKS is in no position to say anything. He only holds the position he does because the Right Treasonable Cahunt Tone E B Liar (the very reason we had any troops there to begin with) lets him, not to mention the types of radical vermin he represented as a Defence Barrister... The very types that those troops were defending us from.

If everyone stopped watching the news* there would be far less outrage and everybody would be much better for it.

* Local news being the exception because it might actually be relevant and useful.

Me to. It is all too surreal. However in years to come we will come to accept it, a bit like how we “ accept” the sh1te on social media.

Does anyone get local TV news?

Our local BBC News is all about Southampton, and ITN is Kent...

Ours is much the same. Doesn't help that South Today covers Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Sussex, Surrey and Berkshire from Southampton, whilst Meridian is in Maidstone  ;D

It's all well and good being pissed off and outraged about everything, but posting about it with no reference to back it up, you may as well be yelling out of the car window on a motorway.

The internet ifs full of people getting outraged every time Donald says something, this is no different but not one person has referenced a clip of him actually saying what has gotten everyone outraged.

He deliberately says things to bait people whether it's the media or other leaders, and everyone bites every single time. He's the political version of Michael O'Leary.

If he's said something out of line, link to it and we can have an actual discussion about it rather than being sheep on the outrage bus.

I think everybody has seen the clips about him saying NATO troops weren't on the front line in the US led Afgan affair ;)

So you get identical news to me, despite us living in very different parts of the country.

Have you noticed how BBC South Today are too scared to go inland, for fear of dropping off the end of the earth, and that their weather forecast is dominated by the sea state....

So true ;D

Trouble where you are is that Birmingham is a media black hole and if you go left a bit, it's all in Welsh. East a bit and you're getting too close to Luton to be comfortable.

I genuinely hadn't seen what he said, but when you look now, it's all this type of thing...

Which is just contrived nonsense. He's always had an issue with NATO, I took this to be another dig, and that everyone is upset because, by implication, it suggests that we weren't involved. This is obviously wrong because, of all the NATO countries, we were right there with them. That is indisputable.

The question that isn't being asked is does NATO as a whole pull it's weight, or does it always fall to the same few countries that step up when asked, ourselves being the front of that line? That may well have been the intent of whatever he said.

Trouble is, after the fact, the outrage drowns out whatever was said to begin with making it almost impossible to have a reasonable discussion about anything.

To Steve's first post, all that's visible, is people at Davos, apparently yesterday, getting uppity about tarrifs that had already been withdrawn. The broader issue being that we keep being spoon fed what they want us to see.

His actual words were that the US has never asked for military help (which they have for both Afgan and Iraq), and that some NATO countries joined in for Afgan but stayed back from the front line (which is also 'dangle berries')

That is what has enraged everyone this side of the Atlantic in the last day or 2.


Clearly, he's either full of shit to the point of being beyond stupid, or his advisors are full of it/lazy/stupid. Or probably both.


Now I don't have a problem with Trump generally. I think, for the most part, he is just what America needs, after decades of wet dreams.  I do disagree with an awful lot of his foreign policy, but he was voted in by Americans to improve America.  But I really do think he has made himself to look a right pleb this last week or so.  Lets see if he's man enough to admit it, or if he is yet another wet dream and try to make out he was right and we've all misunderstood his very clear words.
