    During Operation Barbarossa many Ukrainians wanted Germany to win, that didn't make them Nazis - just anti-communists

    But that is bye the bye, from the outside it appears that America has been dramatically polarised from the point of Trump's first election campaign. Is seems that it is almost impossible to have any serious political discourse over there because of calls of 'Fake News' being used to dismiss any dissenting voice.

    Biden will have at least 2 years of a hostile Senate and the best he may be able to manage is to restore some normality to the US political scene.

    Oh, you think he's going to start a war?

    Biden won't be doing anything because he's not mentally capable of running a country. I'd imagine he'll have no choice but to step to one side within 18 months as his obvious dementia progresses.

    Democratic Party is not left wing mate. They are on the same political line as our Lib Dems or the left wing of the Tory Party.
    The people interviewed will have wanted Biden to win because he is not a divisive leader like Trump who encourages hatred and division.

    Well I guess that my prediction that Biden would win was right, but the size of electoral votes very wrong. Never believe pollsters, we should have learnt that by now.

    Undoubtedly Trump will be a sore loser and drag out the process, tarnishing the process as he does.

    Anti-Trump protests turning violent, again...

    Protests have sprung up in some cities amid rising tensions over the knife-edge counts in battleground states.

    In Portland, Oregon, the national guard were activated after an anti-Trump protest calling for every vote to be counted turned violent. Witnesses said some people broke away from the main group and broke shop windows in the city centre. Police called the incidents a riot.

    Meanwhile in Minneapolis, police made arrests after about 200 demonstrators blocked a main road. US media said the group had been protesting against Donald Trump and his call to stop the counting of votes.

    Similar protests were also reported in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.

    In Detroit, pro-Trump supporters gathered outside a vote-counting centre, banging on windows and shouting: “Stop the count.” A small anti-count protest was also reported in Phoenix, Arizona.

    Globally though a Biden win will mean that NATO is back up and running properly making the world a safer place. The USA will also rejoin climate change and environmental groups which in the long term is far more important than Covid for the human race.

    There was a lot less brown people died in the Middle East under Trump. No doubt normal service will be resumed under Biden. I'll put money on that.

    The president is trying to stop the votes being counted. You would expect this in a far right country with a token dictator at the helm, but not in the USA for goodness sake. There has actually been Trump inspired militia trying to raid voting stations to destroy ballots and prevent counting. This kind of behaviour could kick of a bloody civil war.

    This is what my point has been all along. Both sides are as bad as each other, I don't know how you can't see that. Both sides are already showing their violent and dangerous sides. 'Anti-Trump protest turns violent' - It's happening right now.

    So you have swallowed Drumpf's line about 'white supremacists' being equal to peaceful protesters?

    No, I'm just seeing it on the BBC that anti-Trump protests are turning violent.

    This is where you are getting it wrong. I will say again.. Antifa and BLM are in no way associated with the democratic party. The militia shouting Trump, Trump, Trump who have attempted to hijack counting stations are most certainly associated with the current leader of the Republican Party.

    Antifa and BLM are left wing and supporting Joe Biden. They have also been causing trouble.

    Everything I have said is right...

    Dry your eyes <wah>

    Look back at the thread and you'll see I'm saying Trump and Biden are both unfit for office and both have violent supporters. Don't let that get in the way of a good false accusation, though <laugh>
