Just read a report that North Korea has “donated” 10000 troops to fight for Russia, against Ukraine.
This could tip over into a global conflict if this happens.
Scary times ahead.
That's horrible, WW3. Time to perfect my yoga technique that allows me to put my head between my legs and kiss my arse goodbye. Ah but the Trumpenator will bring reason to the madness and Armageddon will be avoided.

Could we not donate troops to Ukraine then?

Also, what an opportunity for North Koreans! How many will just run off to live in a normal country?

Not sure I agree with that, Os. I have no left (or right) bias, but Trump has shown signs recently of significant decline in his mental faculties. It may not be as advanced as Biden yet, but it’s a slippery slope. If you acknowledge it for one (as I definitely do with Biden), you also must for the other.

It’s no good anyone getting into a “but he said/she said” tit-for-tat. You have to be better than that.
And putting the mental decline aside, he’s just a horrible dishonest narcissist, with a worrying combination of personality traits that I think make him utterly unsuitable for the huge responsibility of running The States.

Not to mention his clear threat to US democracy and his shameful handling of covid there should disqualify him alone.

We thought we had it bad with the tories but the septics Trumped us.

Last night, he did a half hour roast. And it was genuinely quite funny. I’m not sure that someone with dementia like Biden could have done that.

I honestly think you’re over-egging his decline. Posting clips from ‘Kamala HQ’ which is literally left wing propaganda isn’t exactly balanced.

But of course, it’s a concern. I don’t think presidents or prime ministers should be as old as Trump. I completely agree there.

Trump was the most peaceful president in decades. Possibly ever.

The democrats are the ones that want to fund the military industrial complex. They are the establishment that want to continue dropping bombs.

This narrative that trump will cause WW3 that you’re pushing is completely opposite to reality.

Wrong again, I'm not pushing that at all I'm replying to St Tejón's post re the North Korean involvement in Ukraine and talking the piss out of the orange arsehole's self proclaimed peacekeeping abilities. I can help with a video course in English comprehension, it'll be pretty simple to match your ability.

You can tell it's from 1962, because the stereotype of a Tory voter as a slightly pompous but essentially decent chap, was believable back then.
 
Typical Guardian headline at the moment …

“Wes Streeting denies ‘dystopian future’ over weight-loss jabs for unemployed”

Why report him denying something because it’s not true?

How about
“Free weight jabs may be offered to unemployed to help them get back to work”?

Not doing well as the supposed mouthpiece of the left is it?

Imagine a dystopian world where the government offers you things free of charge! Evil!

They could have just said “Fat people tend to be lazy”.

Maybe they should have said they’d be barred from McDonalds and Greggs if they don’t work.

oh, and Wetherspoons for the early breakfast n pint…


I’m joking btw, I don’t want to offend the fatties. Bad enough with the lefties on here.

Speaking as a fat lazy lefty, all I'm saying is, where's my free drugs?
