    Not surprised HDLG, just enormously disappointed in the idiot.

    Remember when the President of the USA was the leader of the free world? Now he’s like a slobbering drunk you’d avoid at the bar. His cabinet is a clown show; Hegseth, Gabbard, JFK jr, and Musk is like a child with a new toy.
    As for being the great negotiator, he’s already given up Nato membership

    Yep,
    Never thought I’d ever say this: I think European countries have to at least prepare to break out on their own. In a new European Military Alliance, completely without the USA. As Trump / the USA is now unreliable.

    Imagine having to share secrets with the USA now? Better to save time and e-mail them directly to the Kremlin

    I’d bet good money that there is some pretty serious kompromat out there. Shame it’ll never see the light of day.

    Putin is a dictator. But he also realises that Trump is a loose cannon that is capable of anything so I can only hope that he and the rest of the world treads carefully (which I think is what happened when he was president last time). As a total pessimist I have to believe this, otherwise I’d be absolutely terrified of what this could lead to.

    So is Trump.

    The Republicans are already looking at setting up Trump’s third term.

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    Your post caught my eye and I can quickly see that our politics are radically different. No problem with that as I think it is critically important that we are able to freely share our views on racing and other matters without fear or favour. I would add that if you haven’t seen or read the JD Vance address to our European political class at Munich last week, then I can highly recommend it. Puts the whole Russian threat thing to our way of live into a whole new context, though please don’t shoot the messenger. PS I am not a Putin Fanboy.

    Trump was elected in a democratic vote … Russia is not democratic as shown by the number of people jailed/murderer for apposing Putin

    Overthelast, I watched Vance and it was noticeable to see the general uneasyness within the room that someone was calling these leaders out. I am very pleased they got to hear some home truth’s from someone in authority, who not mainly on here but many echo within this land.

    Just how do people think this war will end? It’ll go on for years as it is, many more million’s will die if people are happy with that, the stakes will become higher and there’s an increasing chance of WW3.

    It’s funny or rather sad that Trump is trying to solve a problem the left have no idea how to, just keep arming Ukraine is their motto, just where is the end game?

    Now, there’s just a chance there maybe one being unfolded in the coming days and if that ends the insanity and the killing, that’s acceptable in my mind.
    Putin won’t go any further than he is now.

    Appeasement did not work in 1938 and it will not work now. Putin must be laughing his arse off.

    Here’s hoping GSP. Then the knives should be out for Boris Johnson who almost single-handedly scuppered any chance of a peace deal many moons ago….

    “Trump was elected in a democratic vote”.

    Trump was elected by the USA in a democratic vote..
    He was not elected by Ukraine, Europe, Canada, Greenland or Gaza.

    Trump is trying to dictate to the World.

    Yes he is terrible isn’t he, trying to find ways of peace in a number of different areas, and save millions of lives.

    Is that the speech where he was lecturing Europe on ‘free speech’? He might like to get his own house in order first before criticising others given that his boss is doing rather a lot to restrict the free press. Think I’ll pass on that one.

    I’m getting sick of all this Europe vs USA nonsense to be honest. It’s the last thing anyone needs on top of all these wars (plenty more going on than just the Middle East and Ukraine by the way). Global co-operation in literally everyone’s interest. Conflict, be that military or trade benefits almost nobody. It’s all they know though, when have any of these politicians got anything positive to say? It’s just constant negativity and stirring things up.

    …And Neville Trump will be walking down the steps of Air Force One soon, waving a piece of paper and claiming “peace in our time”.
