Nope and I can't be arsed listening to the long ramblings of a very rich and multiple failed presidential candidate.

 

I saw the summary, it's the usual trump bad, how dare you in a Gretta esk fashion for pulling funding and going through the accounts.

 

Whilst he's happily sat in congress for what 40 years and Donald has achieved more in 2 months.

You really should watch it. As you well know, summaries don't tell the whole story. Without watching it how will you know if it is just ramblings, or whether it has substance - that's the reason I'll watch Trump's speeches and "Press" briefings. I have made my mind up on my position but that's only because I've looked at both sides of the coin from my perspective. If you refuse to even listen to what other people say you are far more susceptible to propaganda.

I edited your text for you to correct it:

 

I reckon if I looked I'd find a similar clip with an opposing view, doesn't mean either clip speaks for the full population.

That's not what the TV shows own poll suggests!.

 

I think we've had enough of your editing skills in that living in a warzone mockumentary

I did you moron! That is what my post was all about immediately following the clip. That is what I was highlighting. You c'd have at least read it!

Anyway. Tea break over. Sionara muchachos

There you go an 'unedited' web page to show an equal and opposing view that most Americans like the man. Highest approval rating before he took office and dropping quickly the longer he is in office.

 

Half the population surveyed (the women) are dead set against him (I do wonder why, did I ever highlight his attitude to women?), anyone over the age of 45, anyone who is non-white or educated. That is a good chunk of his population.

 

Here ends todays lesson that for every link you might find there is usually an equal and opposite.

Blimey, I never knew that I was held in such high regard. Are you sure you're not confusing me with someone else? Maybe you surfaced a little to quickly in your rush to get back here to join in the fun, maybe you're still a little bit light headed.

I w'd of had tried harder if I had known. So sorry to let you down.

 

I'll now take some time away to reflect upon my actions and in future try to remember that calling a moron who is acting like a moron 'a moron' although factually correct, isn't always the best course of action.

Still, what with all your gatekeeping telling people to stfu and laying down conditions for people to post, you're not really in any position to preach yourself are you?

 

PS I han't ever served under fire but I have changed the clutch on a Moto Guzzi T4 (hence my inner peace) hope this counts.

 

PPS my great great uncle, 'Charles the Pulpit' did actually fall from the pulpit: he died mid-sermon. Funny old world huh?

 

Peace & Love

That’s a lot of words to say **************** all, I’ve been ticking along on the thread just not getting hysterical over Trump that’s all. It does make me laugh at the zealots yearning for no compromise military action when in reality the loudest advocates ain’t never been anywhere near its 

[tree-fancier123]

In the second Boer War 1899 - 1902 we lost a reported 27,000 military, the Korean War 1950 - 1953 cost the lives of approximately 1100 service men and women.

My point is the recent conflicts have not been on that scale

30 years fighting in NI est 763 dead

Iraq 179

Afganistan 457

Gulf War 47

Falkands 255

Our soldiers are still just as brave as in the Boer War, but their chances of survival seem better today. 

In cold terms of sheer numbers I think a combined UK and EU force could defeat Russia in a conventional war, but when it comes to Taiwan it would take more than any conceivable coalition to defeat China. 

Biden said he would defend Taiwan, whereas Trump will not. This time maybe Trump is right - hundreds of thousands of US soldiers could be sent tp their deaths defending Taiwan and it still would fall. 

China and Russia are like bullies in the school playground and when the teachers try to break it up the teachers end up stabbed to death.

So in you're game of shoulda woulda coulda, you want a WW3.

 

Regardless of the deaths in conflicts, a bullet to the head is just as lethal now as it was in the 1600s.

 

You can't play soldier without also being able to kill, a soldier that can't is a waste of a uniform.
