Didn’t they agree to give Ukraine security as part of the Budapest Memorandum when Ukraine gave up their USSR nukes?

They certainly did.

Also, his licking of Putin’s arse to the point of chewing winnets, has gained him no more leverage than Biden, less in fact.

The President of El Salvador, self proclaimed "coolest dictator in the World", says he has no intention of returning the wrongfully deported man back to the States, and the White House has no intention to try and retrieve him - in direct opposition to the SC's judgement.

In his world if your country is invaded then it is your fault it happened. Just as US soldiers killed or wounded are, in his words, losers (probably because they didn’t have the foresight to develop bone spurs. 
Every day this moron displays just how unsuitable he is for office and in all probability, for his sake and for the sake of the rest of the world, should probably be in an institution with padded cells. Strangely we still have some posters on here who call this man a genius! Go figure.

They way that his administration are also ignoring court orders is chilling. We also have posters here who believe that we should turn our backs on the European Court of Human Rights. No surprise that they support hard right politics and vote for people like Farage. He himself shares Trump’s disdain for basic humanity and human rights.

People are being taken off of the streets in the US and being placed in jails in foreign counties without any recourse to a fair, judicial procedure. We still have people here who think it ok to deport people to Rwanda. Just let that sink in for a moment.

Gary Lineker took all kinds of shit for stating the fact that a certain type of rhetoric had parallels in Nazi Germany in the 1930’s. We have moved even further along that path since then but where is the outage? Trump, and to a lesser extent Farage, are both very skilled operators at normalising things that would have been dismissed as unacceptable a few years ago.

We clearly learn nothing from history.

At least Trump is consistent on those issues, because Truss isn’t, she sacked Braverman during his brief disaster at PM over fears that trying to stop almost forms of migration could stifle her ‘growth plans’. 

She will do anything for attention and DT is itself batshit crazy enough to platform her. The Mail got burned badly backing her Tory leader election. Hope she carries on, she’s a huge, dry and high visible forever wank stain on the Tory Party’s brand and visual metaphor for their failures.

No wonder Kemi is desperate for 🥬 to STFU.

From the 72 year old Guided Missile (according to Companies House) to the younger, fitter, moderate drinking 40-something poster. 

And a broken clock is still right twice more often a day than he is. About Truss, Trump and anything else.

Enjoy the tariffs on your pesticides John. Have a drink on it, you will anyway. And another 15 more probably after that. On your own.

You have a problem with an opposing view about Trump and his actions being nasty? Two posters have told us that Trump is some kind of genius instead of an unstable lunatic. I don’t have a problem calling out anyone who thinks Trump is in anyway remotely normal. And you don’t have a problem calling out people who have opposing views to you do you Whelk?

There is an element of wind up. Every rational person knows Trump is an obnoxious, narcissistic cunt. There is no need to keep referencing posters to draw them in. And yes, as you are aware I wouldn’t hesitate to post an abusive reply to them

Yesterday I bought a bagel for $3.

Now I have a $3 trade deficit with the bagel shop! So I'm imposing a 145% reciprocal trade tariff on them.

Today my bagel cost me $7.35. Art of the Deal!

And who are those two posters? You see, once again you have proven two things, firstly you have awful reading skills. When I posted about trump doing stuff for his own benefit and that of his cronies, I was in your eyes calling him a genius and supporting him. How thick are you? Secondly you have proven again beyond now any doubt that anyone can have that it is you who wants the rucks. It is you who causes issues between posters on here. You have not done anything stuipid in that regard, so no one has had a pop at you. So what do you do, let is stay quiet and peaceful? Nope. You start it up again by bringing my name into something I have nothing to do with.

Gloves off now. I will berate you at every chance I get if you keep doing this, and you have no right to complain, agreed?

Rather than pay $7.35, I now make them in my own kitchen which only cost $0.75. Any bagels I have left over, I sell for $3.00, tariff free. Art of the Deal!

"Sir Keir Starmer must embrace Donald Trump’s agenda by repealing hate speech laws in order to get a trade deal over the line, a Washington source has told The Independent.

The warning came after the US vice-president suggested a UK-US agreement may be close, with the White House “working very hard” on it.

He told UnHerd: “I think there’s a good chance that, yes, we’ll come to a great agreement that’s in the best interest of both countries.”

But a senior Washington figure, who has provided advice for the administration, claimed he is “obsessed by the fall of Western civilisation” – including his view that free speech is being eroded in Britain – and that he will demand the Labour government rolls back laws against hateful comments, including abuse targeting LGBT+ groups or other minorities, as a condition of any deal.

The Independent was told: “The vice-president expressing optimism [on a trade deal] is a way of putting further pressure on the UK over free speech. If a deal does not go through, it makes Labour look bad.”"

Yes I know that the above is  Fake ....but the fact that some people will believe it to be true is quite telling.

"The US Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to pause the deportation of a group of accused Venezuelan gang members.

A civil liberties group is suing the administration over planned deportations of Venezuelans detained in north Texas under an 18th-century wartime law.

On Saturday, the Supreme Court ordered the government to "not remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court"."

 

"The Supreme Court initially ruled on 8 April that Trump could use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged gang members, but deportees must be given a chance to challenge their removal.

"The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs," the justices wrote in their decision earlier this month.

The lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that resulted in Saturday's order said the Venezuelan men detained in north Texas had been given notices in English, despite speaking only Spanish, that they would be deported imminently, and had not been told they had a right to contest the designation in a federal court."
