Americans always have the ‘enemy’ onside until they don’t need them any more and then they become the bad guys before the yanks remove them and replace them. Around and around it goes.
So we're just letting this comment slide? Not on at all, even in jest. I'd also condemn it someone blamed Muslims for all of the world's ills. No difference. It's lazy, ignorant and solves nothing. But we'll let it slide because it isn't Aber?
Not sure about that. Do you know what the US spends every year on defence? No, nor do I, but it dwarfs what the whole of the rest of the world does. Most European armed forces, and that includes the British army and the Royal Navy, could barely operate in the field at all, without US support,
That's because many European nations simply do not spend enough on their own defence. But the UK, Germany and France do have an advanced defence sector, we are certainly capable of providing our own defence, we just don't. Ironically the one thing I have 100% agreed with Trump on in the past, that too many European countries do not invest what they should and demand too much from allies. Even Sweden and Finland have a surprisingly advanced defence sector, capable of supporting themselves.
Poland is the only NATO country spending anywhere near the 5% that Trump will demand... please log in to view this image
Yeah Poland are on a big military investment to be as capable as for example Germany. They have been spending large amounts of their GDP for a while.
They’re also all hard as **** so that 5% will go further than somewhere like Spain where they’re all short and wear silly jeans too small for them.
Study by The Lancet suggests the number of Palestinian deaths in Gaza may be hugely inaccurate and that there are likely to be significantly more than reported by the Gazan health ministry- currently around 37k ... it could be as many as 68k ... The IDF says it has eradicated 17k Hamas terrorists ... So is it 20k civilian deaths ... or 51k? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqjvl4klzweo
it's 46000 deaths according to the Health authorities in Gaza though it has always been pointed out the actual figure will be higher as some bodies won't have been recovered / identified
Is it an actual study this time or another letter written to The Lancet quoting a totally hypothetical number that every frothing Hamas fan got over-excited about? 186,000 from memory.
