I think Trump is roughly on the same danger level as Putin, both are egotistical
maniacs who will seize what they want by hook or by crook. I think his comments
about british or EU troops being a sort of backup to the US were ill-advised and
uncalled for. Could he go furher and add some meat to the bone on his statement
if he wanted to, well yes he could. He would state that in the Afganistan conflict
2,461 US Troops were killed about 1,000 other Nato troops were killed, 457 were British.
In the Iraq war, 4,500 US troops were killed, 179 British troops also lost their lives.
Now don’t shoot the messenger here, and it’s a tragedy whoever gave their life, no
matter where they came from. The facts are the facts, no more than that. I imagine
that is where he was coming from, but it was still an insult to the families who
lost their loved ones. If I were to play devils advocate, I might ask “does he have
a point”. Discuss…..
