Remember those leftists screaming that Trump in office meant that WW3 could happen. You don't hear a peep from those hypocrites now. Before Biden took office I said he'd be the ruin of the economy. Happened.....in fact because of the idiocy of the Democrats it's much worse that I'd feared. I said that Biden in office would be a foreign policy disaster. I never expected it to be quite as bad as this.....Afganistan was a utter embarrassment but now we stand on the edge of WW3. Trump could have talked to Putin, whereas this cretin can barely talk and ruined that relationship many moons ago. Anyone who supported Biden needs to take a long hard look in the mirror because they need to smell the coffee and equate what they preferred with what the outcome has been. Still....no mean tweets. It's a complete and utter fecking disaster. Edited by Stirlingsays (10 Oct 2022 8.16pm) I'm not so sure. Based on his early rhetoric around Putin and his moves into Ukraine (no1 example his genius thinking of sending nuclear capable subs within striking distance of Russia as a deterrent) I'd wager the situation would be just as bad or worse. Diplomacy is not the same as a business deal, and he only has one mode, aggression. See N Korea back and forth, the wildcard / will he won't he follow through curiosity and novelty wears off pretty quickly. He would have been worked out by Putin pretty fast and because he'd have gone maximum aggression from the start he'd have nowhere else to go when Russia called his bluff.

I seriously doubt that. When you are faced with a choice between the worst President in history, someone who has tried to overturn democracy, and anyone else, your first priority must always be to get rid of the bad apple. What follows can be managed, with good advice and sensible institutions. As I said years ago, Micky Mouse was preferable to Trump. That some of you think that's what we have got doesn't alter the fact that it's preferable to Trump still being there. If anyone watched the BBC 2 documentary last night on the possibility of a Trump run in 2024 you will know just how indoctrinated his base are. What was only covered in passing was the level of determination in others to see this never happens again. Would that be a documentary created by the impartial bbc who are complicit in orchestrating a worldwide attempt at mass genocide?

The two things that Trump had in his favour were unpredictability and a relatively good relationship with Putin. Putin was taking about war over Ukraine due to US involvement nearly ten years ago. Personally I'm of the view that the only reason it happened this year is because you have Biden in power and the disaster of the Afghanistan withdrawn probably cemented that decision.

The only tests Trump passed were done by his own pet doctor who he subsequently rewarded with a completely inappropriate job.
