Trump is the playground bully. My dad is bigger ‘a you. My ball etc.  our generation has got used to gentlemanly negotiations behind closed doors and then a public announcement of the outcome.

I think his tactics are effective just as Putins are. No one called Putin when he annexed Crimea. He has jolted Mexico and Canada and Denmark into life to toe his party line. The EU meanwhile continues to function slowly behind closed doors ( just what exactly was agreed yesterday in terms of funding the defence shortfall they all , mostly, agree?)

Musk ?!  :o

Suggestions are that Starmer has agreed to join the EU Defence Union. No formal announcements yet, but if it's true I wonder what that means for the operational independence of our Armed Forces.  ???

Soviet agent Trump seems to have suspended the tariffs on everyone but China for now. All gob, if you ask me.
Meanwhile the lunatic Musk has employed a bunch of juveniles to tear apart the USAID budget, sacking most of its employees at the same time. Nice work.
               Nope, he’s done it and China has put plans to retaliate, most of what he says he does. He’s quite mad but better than what they had and the alternative, he is using the stick now but has the power to give the carrot too. God only knows what Musk is up to and how that’s going to turn out.

Well... Mexico is sending 10,000 troops to their side of the border to beef up security and reportedly Canada will be announcing similar measures.  :-X
Canada announced those measures last year  ::)

Well wokey Trudeau obviously didn't do enough and they'll have to and will do more.  :-X

I saw a video on X a couple of days ago of a Canadian Parliamentary Select Committee hearing where MP's were grilling the Chief Constable of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Canada's federal police force) about the smuggling of fentanyl across the border to the USA. When asked how many people were involved, he didn't have a clue, but estimated that there were approximately 4000 gangs involved!  :o

I think Trumpy has a point and I don't blame him for getting tough with the neighbours if they don't take law enforcement seriously. I wish our useless, spineless, lawyerly, middle managerial technocrats would do the same.  ::)

Has Starmer actually got a backbone ?  He's simply a smarmy bastard with no idea of what to do to sort our problems out , probably the weakest PM the UK has ever had.

I watched an episode of 24 hours in police custody earlier in the week. Apparently, crystal meth is about to hit our shores in a big way, so we'll see what happens with that.
And, as for the RCMP, I don't think out NCA is much better.

And in Vancouver the gangs are all Chinese run. There are large stretches of the Canadian border that make crossing the Rio Grande look like swimming the Channel*.

*You can walk across much of the Rio Grande without getting your hair wet.

That's why he's pestering Denmark; he thinks the area he's after is already a golf course due to the name. The Viking's marketing campaign from over 1000 years ago is still working!

Well he's certainly filled up a few outrage buses with his ideas about Gaza!  ;D

Meanwhile, our clowns are still talking about the two state solution, despite the fact that they have proved time over that they cannot and will not live peacefully side by side with Israel.  ::)

Trump needs to flatly refuse to pay anything towards the rebuilding costs.

Yes Iran should pay!  :-X

Saudi Arabia is building a huge city in the desert called The Line, they could send all the Gazans there.  Someone has to live there!  :)
