The Russians are bombing civilians on bridges in Kyiv. The Russians are simply terrorists. And Trump wants to do business with them.

As hard as it is to believe, that is the actual position of the so-called law and order party.

America, you need to rein this in before it gets out of control. This is a clear out of those who might "question" leaving only "yes" men. Also a "slim" army is not necessarily a professional army.

Came across a documentary about the French revolution so I decided to learn more about the reasons behind it. This is what AI said. Very applicable to today's US. I had to amend it a little but otherwise it looks similar. Debt, ruling rich ckass, a king, no gov., rising prices, war costs...

It's happening because many Americans don't care about humanity. They only care about money and their life goal is not to do some good for mankind, it's to somehow become a billionaire.

For all the wealthy businessmen who have paid bribes to the Trump Regime for lucrative government contracts, please don't claim to have been the 'victims' of Trumps extortion. You chose to pay to get those contracts. Don't even think of playing the 'victim' card. Straight to jail.

The Trump Regime should not be posting details about the airforce base incident in the UK. The British are the investigators and are limiting information. Marco Rubio and Trump discussing it, without any actual facts, is ignorant and unhelpful. It's Trump wanting to be the centre of everything.

Looking at the reports about Kimberly Guilfoyle/ Greece & Romania, I think every US "ally" should face up to the fact that the US is no longer an "ally".

Trump rejects Iranian plan to open the Straight of Hormuz. I think the US people should have a say. How can one man be allowed to decide on behalf of the world? Average US Joe is suffering. None of this affects Trump so he doesn't care.

Hopefully the name Trump will dissappear after he is gone. This is what happened to the name Hitler after WW2. Many Germans who had it changed it to Hassler, Hessler and similar to avoid the toxicity of the name.

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

Trump has turned the US into a socialist dictatorship. So much for private enterprise. Same as always, privatise the profits, socialise the debt.

We always knew the US president held great power to affect the world. Most previous presidents understood that power and made a conscious decision not to abuse it or use against the world. Until now. And the motivation is not some righteous belief, it's simply ignorance and pure greed.

Trumps "deal" on Denmark sounds similar to the existing 1951 agreement, especially in relation to US forces deployment. The worry for Denmark is that you cannot trust Trump on anything. He has the trust levels of Putin.

This is like Mob boss world. Someone does something naughty in the bosses 'patch' and he needs to pay up to receive 'forgiveness' from the boss. It's not just corruption, it's mob criminality at it's best.

It's as clear as mud that Russia is doing It's absolute best, bar an all out attack, to provoke Europe. Europe needs to "up" it's diplomacy to bring the US back on the side of the West. Europeans should be engaging bi-partisan contacts in the US Congress as there is no hope trying to engage Trump.

I had a quick look at some of my early posts. I mentioned long before Trump was re-elected that if he was, it would be the greatest heist, theft and corruption in world history. I didn't realise I would be so accurate.

I know next to nothing about AI. If it has the potential to cause harm to humanity, does it not at the same time have the potential to stop that from happening. It's a technology, like all, that will carry out a task. So if that task is to stop other AI attacks, can it not do that too?

I'd be concerned with such thinking which is based upon conventional war tactics. Things have changed and most countries would struggle after a week of drone warfare. For example...
