Because objectively better candidates keep getting turned away.In a country the size of America that is also full of innovation, how the hell does it come down to a choice or Biden or Trump?
His second coming facilitated by the guy before him.The worst president in the history of the office.
A very big warning to ‘Beer Korma’His second coming facilitated by the guy before him.
So what would you get for the Ukrainians or what demands would you make of the Russians if they were to get those regions?
The Russians appear to have decided to celebrate this 'wonderful news' by attacking more civilians with a drone strike on a Children's Hospital in Sumy.Ukraine now ready for negotiations.
Wonderful news.
A very big warning to ‘Beer Korma’
whilst thanking the attendant musk for his work. Whoosh!Trump has boldly declared that ‘the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over’.
I watched Threads and When the Wind Blows... like public information films.I actually don’t know how some people on here would have coped in the 80’s when we were told to prepare for nuclear attacks
He did nothing to alienate trumpHave you considered the possibility that the Ukrainian front line could collapse and they’d have to give up more territorial concessions?
Whatever issues Russia has, such as manpower, Ukraine is unfortunately in a worse state.
Zelenskyy has made a huge blunder in alienating Trump in the Oval Office. Europe does not have the capacity to fill the void left by the USA. The economic deal with the USA would probably have been a precursor to security guarantees, direct or indirect so there was just no need to press the issue in the Oval Office in front of the media.
By the way, it’s not just Trump who’s lost his temper with Zelenskyy… Pentagon officials had briefed that Biden lost his temper on a phone call where he and Zelenskyy were discussing military aid and Z kept pressing for more. There is a consistent theme of gratitude (or lack thereof) when it comes to Zelenskyy and military aid.
Without boots on the ground, the war remains a stalemate, at best. Ukraine holds some territory in Russia which (before the fiasco), Trump raised the possibility of land swaps for some occupied Ukrainian territory. If they lose that, they lose leverage.
Really strange how the Democrats suddenly realised Biden was senile and installed Harris without going through the usual primary process.His second coming facilitated by the guy before him.
She had a tendancy to launch into a rambling and largely meaningless word salad.
Much better to elect the man who refused to hand over power when he lost.Really strange how the Democrats suddenly realised Biden was senile and installed Harris without going through the usual primary process.
She then proved unable to interview on TV at any length without being given a set of softball preset questions. Despite this gentle treatment she still had a tendancy to launch into a rambling and largely meaningless word salad. I don't think the American public had any idea what she might do in power.
A bit like Trump then.Despite this gentle treatment she still had a tendancy to launch into a rambling and largely meaningless word salad.
There was a massive problem with the VA, with pensions etc. not being delivered and leaving many in dire financial straits or even destitute. Although far from fixed they employed a load of people to get try to speed the process up and it helped considerably.Musk has now fired 7000 people who work in delivering their equivalent of the state pension. Pensioners now being advised to save money because payments could now get missed.
Throwing pensioners under the bus in a way that makes Starmer’s WFP raid look like handing gold bars to grannies
That's sounds a bit like Truss. Mad ideas that she tried to implement far too quickly and fucked the country over. Even the Tories had the sense to get rid of her in about a month.Seems to me that he's trying to do far too much, too soon.
I think in his mind he promised from day 1, so he's trying to do everything he said he would do in one fell swoop.
Could get very messy.
A man being invaded pressing other world leaders for more help in repelling the invaders shocker! It's literally his job.Have you considered the possibility that the Ukrainian front line could collapse and they’d have to give up more territorial concessions?

Ignoring some of the complete nonsense at the top, to suggest common sense has returned to the WH is a joke.Possibly by not violating the neutral zone in the first place, and not building bio labs in Ukraine. And not continuing the expansion of nato into Ukraine in violation of the 1994 weapons treaty. And not seeking to disrupt Russian shipping's access to shipping lanes that they need for trade.
All of this was mentioned by Putin before the conflict started, Biden was given ample warning what would happen if he ignored international agreements. Funny how western news failed to report this.
Now I'm no supporter of Putin, who is a dictator who sanctions murder on UK soil.
Bit if you poke the bear often enough, your going to get bitten.
Now the US has had a regime change, common sence is returning to the white house (strange to use that term when referring to Trump who's as mad as a box of frogs) so hopefully the killing will soon stop, and peace can return to the region,
probably under the pre-existing terms with Ukraine not joining the EU or Nato and Russia keeping hold of the areas they currently hold. While America opens mineral mines and gets contracts to rebuild the bombed cities, and getting rid of Zelensky and putting a new pro US government in office.
In the end the only real winner will be the US. With the land Russia holds being of little value other than securing access to the shipping lanes.
And to think, a lot of people died for that!
Musk who in fact benefits from $38 billion in US government contracts wants to complain about waste and abuse.There was a massive problem with the VA, with pensions etc. not being delivered and leaving many in dire financial straits or even destitute. Although far from fixed they employed a load of people to get try to speed the process up and it helped considerably.
Obviously Trump/Musk go the other way because it's 'needless bureaucracy'. It's only people not being able to afford to live without it.

Looking at it the other way. Trump and Zelensky discussing military aid and deals around achieving that. Trump kept pushing for more and Trump lost his temper.
If invading Ukraine puts Russia into a confrontation with US personnel, how is that different to allowing Ukraine into NATO?You haven’t watched the whole press conference. For 40 minutes it was cordial and Trump brushed off a couple of things that could’ve been interpreted as antagonistic. Then Zelenskyy and Vance had a spat that went out of control.
Vance definitely threw some hand grenades that escalated the dispute but frankly, he’d said nothing for about 40m.
Not in front of the cameras. They were there to sign an economic agreement, not rehash things in the public. If you’ve taken an approach which pisses the people off from your biggest benefactor, you’re not doing your job well. Many Americans have commented of Zelenskyy’s ‘ingratitude’ and ‘disrespect’ towards the USA outside of the administration.
If you’ve got American companies and workers mining in Ukraine, it’s an indirect security guarantee because invading that country puts US lives and economic interests at risk.
It’s Zelenskyy who’s been apologetic in the aftermath rather than the Trump administration which should tell you everything you need to know.

Yeah trump is such a bad person, I can’t stand him nowMuch better to elect the man who refused to hand over power when he lost.
