The EU and the UK are both weaker following Brexit. No wonder Putin had his useful idiots campaigning for it.

That's the crux of it. A lot of people are sick of the banging on about Brexit - we voted for 'out' and that's that, kind of thing. The vote shouldn't have stood due to the outside influence of foreign powers and interests. The process was completely compromised.

Hidden levers were gradually revealed that were working to bring about Brexit but by then it was too late. There were legal challenges at the time but I wish they did one on this fundamental point.
 
There always comes a point whereby people who'd previously supported a 'wrong'un' realise what they were doing and vanish into the ether. There were loads of patients who fervently supported Harold Shipman even when the bodies started stacking up ...

... but as soon as the evidence become overwhelming they all pretended they were never really taken in at all.

That's what's happening with Farage.
 
I think I've lost all understanding of what's normal and and acceptable.

I've just watched Trump being interviewed in the White House, surrounded by what looks like bright eyed little grandchildren.

As they look on, Trump is glibly waffling on about 'the killings, executions and hangings.'

Am I totally out of touch or does anyone else wonder why no one tells him to STFU>

They cannot tell him to STFU he would stick a tariff on them
 
He'll be labelled as a leftie agitator out to cause trouble <laugh>

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to make any criticism whatsoever of Trump/Farage/Musk without being labelled a lunatic leftie agitator …

… with the Trump press people, supporters, etc it’s almost always the automatic response.
 
So this is a real letter that Trump has sent to the Norwegian PM. He's absolutely insane, god help us all if we give him an inch on Greenland

"Dear Jonas,

"Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

"Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway?

"There are no written documents, it's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

"I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States.

"The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.

"Thank you!

"President DJT"

If only there was someone willing and able to do it, he'd be sectioned ...

... along with all the other lunatics who'll support him to the death.

I'd hoped to pop my clogs, and get out of this madness, before it totally erupts but this is escalating so quickly now.

You can see how quickly people are becoming radicalised and losing their sense of decency and reason ...

... and once people become frightened anything can happen, it's quite scary.
 
The fact this Greenland thing has raised its head thanks to new shipping routes and solid land appearing due to global warming makes things even more depressing.

Sorry, but I just can not believe that this letter came from The President of The US of A.
Surely official Letters from a Head of State will be proof read; first to avoid him/her looking stupid.
Lets work through it.

Norway, has no authority over Greenland,'. That belongs to Denmak.

Niether Norway or Denmark have anything to do with the awardig of Nobel Prizes.
An Independent Committee in Sweden does this.

In raising the interresting question of just who owns any particular piece of land is, I would have thought a bit risky.
Apart from the present Greenlanders, who have occupied the country for about as long as the 'white man' has occupied what is now The USofA, there are the Inuits, who MAY have been there even as the Native Americans were making their way south having crossed what were now know as the Bering Strait during an ice age.
The President seems to know that Demark are the sovereign power here, so why blame Norway?

What he has done, or at least is doing for NATO is wrecking it
The long term winner can only be China.

It just has to be spoof.

It's not a spoof, sadly. It's the ramblings of an insane, dementia affected, bullying old man. It's everything he's done in life summed up, "I want that and if I don't get it there'll be trouble. You didn't give it to me, so I'm upset and going to threaten you until you give in."
