I see everyones favourite patriot, I mean traitor, Tommy Robinson, is begging a foreign rapist, Trump, to invade our country and murder our democratically elected Prime minister.

Russia are obliged to ‘protest’ but obviously won’t do anything
Part of Trump & Putins deal
Putin gets the resources of Ukraine which they share with Trump & Trump gets Venezuela’s oil and then likely the resources of Greenland
The final part is Trump gets his Moscow hotel piss video back & Putin helps neutralise the Epstein evidence
Game over

Referring to the Maduro thing Russia's ambassador, Vassili Nebenzia, accused the US of "international banditry" and "neo-colonialism and imperialism".

He'll get Greenland and there will be nothing anyone can do about it. There will be a bunch of liberals standing up in European parliaments bleating about how America and other nations should respect the 'rules based order' and 'international law' but offer nothing at all about how they will (or can) enforce international law.
And if you think things will go back to normal when Trump's mandate is over, you need to look at the polls for 2028 JD Vance v Newsom https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/ ... -vs-newsom
Even if Vance lost. China, India and Russia have abandoned the Rules based order long ago. You can't apply international law just to the West when everyone else ignores it.
The post-war rules based order is over. There is nothing anyone can do about that. We need to think about how we survive in that world and who we build alliances with and what we have to offer to any alliance.

Meanwhile back in the UK the Palestinian embassy was opened. We now have a terrorist organisation set up in London with the government’s approval.

We still have three more years of Trump's irrational behaviour and l think he's given up on getting the noble peace price
He's insane if he thinks he's gonna get Greenland

I'm no lefty, but Trump's behaviour is becoming very unhinged to me. It's concerning that he wants to annex a part of sovereign European territory. He's no better than Putin if he does.
Sovereign NATO territory at that.

all about the petro-dollar innit.
the US cannot allow the chance of 300bn barrels being sold in anything other than USD.

I reckon they must be best mates away from here and have concocted a routine to see how much they can bore/ piss off the rest of us.
There can be no other explanation as to why two adults would keep this up day after day, going round in the same circles.

The raspberries you raped in Cambodia certainly weren't.

Trump invades Venezuela & kidnaps their oil … I mean President … & Starmer the KC can’t say if that’s in breach of international law
View must be difficult with your head up Trumps arse
Greenland next
Obviously part of a Carrick deal with Putin
We will let you invade Ukraine & take their resources & you let us take Venezuela

If Trump's got any sense (which I seriously doubt) he'll do a "Hong Kong" on Greenland, leasing just enough to build a couple of fuck-off airfields and deep water harbours.
He knows money talks and will use that as a leverage.

Australia is fucked Sydney. Let in to many undesirables who jump up and down when an incident occurs in their mother country. You should have gone down and give them a good kicking.

Made me laugh watching Aussie news and they covered some protesters at Sydney's Town Hall against the American strikes and abductions in Venezuela, strange thing was that most of them had keffiyeh's? 
, I didn't realise that they wore these in Venezuela...................
They also had a counter protest that supported what occurred, so Police kept the 2 sides apart, these people were chanting in Spanish and had Venezuelan shirts and flags, none of which the other side had!!!Do these extreme lefties types realise how stupid they look by doing this?

No need to project the fact that you'd be shit scared living in such a volatile area. You should visit, find out for yourself what it's like rather than relying on the Daily Mail educating you. You may actually get to meet a real-life ladyboy, too. What's not to like?
My village is only 80 minutes drive from the (currently closed) Cambodian border and certainly well within range of their rockets. Ho-Hum, as they say.
None of their mine-laying teams have ventured this far yet, although there was a drone incident at the local airport the other night. Hasn't stopped the regular flights to/from Bangkok though, and the new airport terminal opens in about 6 weeks.
In fact, apart from a swathe of new buildings appearing, it's still as a peaceful place to be as it was the last time I was here.
Dodgy? Not a bit of it. Fun? 100%.

There may be indignation and a few ruffled feathers over this, but the dust needs to be allowed to settle in order for everybody to have the chance to see a clearer picture (if they want).Is that the same way you feel about the mud hut in the poverty stricken village near the Cambodian border now a few bombs and missiles flying around?Why would it not be?
