"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." In your perfect World, who gets to choose who is allowed to vote, and what they are allowed to vote for ?

It makes me wonder just what it is they are hoping to "reform". It's more like "regurgitated".

Probably the most fascistic post on the forum in years. Do you actually understand the concept of democracy ?

My wife has worked out Trump's secret agenda; There is an issue with extracting the mineral wealth of Greenland, which he covets, in that most of it is currently under billions of tons of ice. The Venezuelan oil is necessary to accelerate global warming and speed up the melting of the ice to make extraction more financially viable.

"Just because they had a boat that landed there 500 years ago doesn't mean the land is theirs". ( Trump on Denmark's claim over Greenland ). Come on Donnie, just think about what you just said.

Well yes. There is no logic behind thnking Russia is going to seize Greenland, and even less for China taking it.

And trigger Article 5.

Trump ramping up the rhetoric over Greenland, saying if the US doesn't have the island then Russia or China will take it. 1) Greenland is already a member of NATO and therefore covered by Article 5. 2) The US already has treaties permitting the placement of as much military as they want. Owning the island would make no difference. 3) How does he think China are going to sneak up and take it ? 4) Clearly his ambition is nothing whatsoever to do with the potential mineral wealth.

Surely that is "Bazumped" ?

You would think a quick phone call to the Met to see how that "match" went would have been appropriate.

The report used by West Midlands Police to justify the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans was generated by the Microsoft CoPilot AI tool, and referenced an entirely fictitious match between Maccsbi and West Ham.

Brings a whole new perspective to "What came first the chicken or the......"

Indeed. What's the point of having 11 carrier strike groups if you can't use them to threaten blowing stuff up. 😉

Some people reckon Trump's actions in Venezuela are an attempt to impact oil imports to China. Venezuelan oil accounts for just under 4% of Chinese oil imports, hardly kneecapping Chinese industry.

No, have a proper plan rather than winging it then bailing out when it gets too tough. Remember, Trump has repeatedly said the US is "no longer in the business of regime change". I think Donnie and his drunkard Secretary of Defense have been watching too much of this

As depicted in this documentary ?

Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya,.........there is a pattern. The IRGC won't give up without a fight.

Followed by insurrection and civil war. We,( the West collectively ), must be prepared for the consequences of any action taken. Today's death toll may be nothing compared to what comes after.
