The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
badgerx16 replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
It seems that both Badenoch and Starmer may have been misinformed over the case of the Palestinian fsmily and the Ukrainian asylum process ; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgp47mpxgno -
Are they ? Replacing Russian military aggression with US economic colonialism is hardly going to help Ukraine, and using extreme intimidation to force them to accept is morally corrupt. What little has been suggested so far is more like a pause in proceedings before round 2 begins, Putin's new BFF tells him there are no adverse consequences to his aggression, and he can keep most of the territory he has overrun as he rebuilds his military and sets his sights on his next target. Edit; from Lavrov's comments, Russia is opposed to any external security guarantees for Ukraine, so there would be nothing to get in the way of SMO 2.0. ( Not that security promises to Ukraine have ever counted for much ).

And GM wants us to negotiate a trade deal with him.

Trump punishes Ukraine for being invaded. Make "the deal" so bad that whatever Putin offers looks the better option.

You haven't woken up in another one, a version of you exists in all of them. In fact, there are some where you, Turkish, LD, and Nic are great pals, and are often seen drinking together in a local alehouse.

Vance at the Munich conference berated European countries for cancelling election results, specifically targeting Romania's recent Presidential poll. Coming from somebody who to this day refuses to acknowledge that Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in 2020 this has more than a touch of the Alanis Morissette about it.

So which SOG was this making reference to ? "More vile nonsense from SOG II"

If you think SOG is ever embarrassed on here you still have a lot to learn.

Less than 3 weeks after the fatal crash in Washington DC, "several hundred" staff have been sacked at the FAA as Elon's purge of probationary staff gathers pace..

According to the Wall Street Journal a Ukrainian F-16 was shot down by friendly fire from a Ukrainian operated Patriot missile system because when the Patriots were supplied they had the Link-16 IFF system, which identifies the F-16 as a friendly asset, disabled, and when Ukraine started receiving F-16s nobody thought to turn it on.

So said The Smartest Guy In The Room. Then again he is a product of the US education system, which among other achievements has produced hundreds of millions of people who cannot spell or pronounce Aluminium.

Last week at a Q&A with the White House press corps, Trump was bemoaning the cost over run in developing the latest US Navy aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R Ford. His claim was that the cost had climbed from an original $3M to $18M, ( it is actually $13M ), and that this escalation was due to the carrier using electro-magnetic aircraft catapults and lifts. Trump reminded the journalists that he pointed out last January that magnets don't work when wet, so cannot be used on ships. Why did the people building and commissioning the carrier not know this ?

Does Trump have plans to rebuild the Donbas with casinos and nightclubs ? -
"Unfortunately, the agency finds that you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the agency's current needs, and your performance has not been adequate to justify further employment at the agency," Almost all Federal employees serve a 1 year, and sometimes longer, probationary period, during which they have even fewer employment protections than other US workers. As an easy way to cut staffing levels, Trump seems to be pruning out all such staff; https://www.npr.org/2025/02/15/nx-s1-5298182/trumps-probationary-workers-federal I wonder how many of them voted for Donnie.

Is that because there is no central 'Leader' guiding the faith, unlike the Pope or Archbishop of Canterbury ? -
A dead coward if anything. If Russia is nuking the UK, Spain won't be exempted.

You win the, rather puerile and pathetic, semantic point. Grab yourself an MLG badge.
