    So apparently the U.S. now recognizes the right of one nation to kidnap another nation’s head of state and their spouse. Maybe someone should put that bug in his ear.

    What I don’t understand is how anyone could listen to Trump complain about a Putin made claim that Ukraine attacked his residence and Trump was “mad” about it. Then Trump can turn around and say he attacked/abducted 2 leaders from another country and think it should be fine.

    What he actually just did is mark Mar-A-Lago and his other properties as being eligible targets in any retaliation that comes in the future.

        I, personally, would drive to the wreckage and take a huge dump on it before going on the celebration bender of a lifetime if another country had the balls to wipe Mar A Lago off the map.

    Jesus Christ what happened to the men that ran up the beaches with my grandfather? What happened to Keep Calm and Carry On? What happened to the men, women and children that suffered the Blitz?

    The best thing Starmer can say is he’s the Chamberlain of our time. Chamberlain was trying to avoid another war, which was a sincere effort, but that’s the best comparison.

    The less charitable conclusion is that the Brits don’t have the minerals. In 39 they took on a gorilla because they were honoring an agreement with Poland. Today they can’t even say a disparaging word about a paedophile conman violating international law and threatening their erstwhile allies.

    Whatever else you can say about Thatcher – and it’s a lot – she could at least speak her mind and stand her ground.
