British prime minister Margret Thatcher had interesting things to say about personal comments in a political discussion

Your views do not align with hers.
Your unabashed support for killing Jews places you closer to George Galloway.
I had to look this guy up. Apparently, heās been named āthe British Knight of Anti-Semitism.ā

Did not say I had Thatcherās views just that she like the Gipper had things to say about political discussions. The GENOCIDE is being committed in Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar,

There is no genocide in Gaza.
Your Hamas friends would certainly like to commit genocide, though, since they vow to "kill Jews until they hide behind rocks and trees" in their very charter, but lack the capability.

Isn't this the perfect time for the Board of Peace to step up? Trump said the UN was ineffective at stopping wars. Trump now needs help in Iran. Who's on this Board of Peace?
Trump was flanked at the event by leaders and representatives from Argentina, Turkey, Hungary, Bulgaria, Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Qatar, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Morocco, Paraguay and Pakistan.
That's who needs to help Trump. The idiots who attended this meeting.
A month later it only gets worse. Now we find out they didn't plan ahead for the straights of Hormuz. Or blew off the intelligence. Sound familiar? This is Bush all over again. We need to have such a super majority next year we can impeach him and get him out of office. If we don't win every freakin senate seat in November I tell you this country is so screwed.
Remember this?
A now deleted video of Donald Trump in 2011 talking about how President Obama will start a war with Iran because he has no ability to negotiate and is weak and ineffective
Or this
Trump claims 'incompetence' of rival Kamala Harris will 'get us into World War 3'
World has 'never been so close' to global war, says Republican presidential candidate Trump, pledging to avoid this fate

Biggest ******* Joke ever
Does he still expect the USA to contribute $10B? Thatās criminal!
I think Trump might get the Nobel Peace Prize this year after he takes out the leader of Cuba and wins this war he started.
How many wars did Trump say he ended?
United Arab Emirates: The U.S. ally has absorbed some 800 projectiles from Iran since the war began.
Kuwait: Iran attacked Kuwait on the first day of war in an attack that led to the first American deaths.
Bahrain: Iran targeted U.S. bases in Bahrain, with videos showing smoke rising from near the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet headquarters in Manama.
Oman: Iran expanded its strikes to include U.S. bases in Oman on the second day of the war.
Saudi Arabia: Iran targeted U.S. bases in Saudi Arabia on the second day of strikes.
Jordan: Iran fired missiles and drones at U.S. military installations in the country.
Lebanon: Hezbollah entered the war on Iran's side, launching missiles and drones at Israel on Monday ā breaking a ceasefire that had been in place since November 2024.
Iraq: Iran struck the Kurdish region of Iraq, which it views as closely aligned with the U.S.
Cyprus: Drones struck the British Royal Air Force base at Akrotiri in Cyprus, pulling the U.K. and the European Union into the conflict. Cypriot press reported the strikes likely came from Hezbollah.
Azerbaijan: Iranian drones hit a local airport and civilian areas in the country on Thursday, attacking, Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said.
United Kingdom: After an Iranian drone struck the U.K base in Cyprus, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer authorized the U.S. to use British air bases to strike Iranian missile sites and dispatched a Royal Navy destroyer and counter-drone helicopters to the region.
France and Germany: Both EU powers initially called for a return to negotiations, but opened up to the possibility to striking Iran after Iranian strikes hit their personnel ā including a German army camp in Jordan.

This is why I email the White House every dsy
WORST PRESIDENT EVER.
They have to archive every email
I have written every president since Nixon
President Donald Trump has consistently asserted that the war with Iran is going well. But his decision to ask for help from allies and other countries to resolve the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz is the latest evidence that calls that into question.
In fact, Trump repeatedly said he didnāt need help from other countries ā including very recently ā and heās spent years alienating allies.
But the US president began ramping up his calls for help on Sunday.
āItād be nice to have other countries police it with us,ā Trump said aboard Air Force One, noting much of the oil that China imports comes through the strait.
āWeāre always there for NATO. Weāre helping them with Ukraine,ā Trump said, adding: āDoesnāt affect us, but weāve helped them. Itād be interesting to see what country wouldnāt help us with a very small endeavor, which is just keeping the strait open.ā
On Monday, at a meeting in the White House, Trump strongly criticized longtime allies that he said were not enthusiastic enough about helping.
āSome are countries that weāve helped for many, many years. Weāve protected them from horrible outside sources, and they werenāt that enthusiastic,ā Trump said. āAnd the level of enthusiasm matters to me.ā
Trump claimed he has gotten āsome positive responseā after reaching out to countries, but he has often exaggerated and misstated such things. He declined to name any specific allies who have committed to sending aid and no countries have indicated publicly that they plan to intervene.
There are a couple of key points here.
One is that this is very difficult to square with Trumpās recent commentary about getting help from other countries, which has often been dismissive.
On March 3, after Spain declined to allow the United States to use its air bases, Trump insisted he didnāt need the countryās help.
āAnd so, I told him we donāt want ā Spain has absolutely nothing that we need,ā Trump said. āOther than great people. They have great people, but they donāt have great leadership.ā
On March 7, as the United Kingdom considered dispatching an aircraft carrier to the region, Trump insisted such help was wholly unnecessary because victory had already been achieved.
āThatās OK, Prime Minister (Keir) Starmer, we donāt need them any longer,ā Trump posted on social media. āBut we will remember. We donāt need people that join Wars after weāve already won!ā
On Friday, Trump responded to Ukraineās offer to help counter Iranian drones by telling Fox News radio host Brian Kilmeade that āwe donāt need the help in drone defense.ā And Trump told NBC News something similar Saturday, insisting āwe donāt need help.ā
These are all the comments of a man who didnāt seem to foresee needing help. Especially given his āwe donāt need peopleā comments about the UK ā a position heās certainly flipped on now. He said Monday he was ānot happyā with Starmer for not immediately committing to help US forces in the strait.
āI said, āYou donāt need to meet up with the team. Youāre the prime minister. You can make your own ā why do you have to meet with your team to find out whether or not youāre going to send some minesweepers to us or to send some boats?āā Trump told reporters.
Which brings us to the other key point: To the extent Trump thought he might need help from other countries, it sure would have seemed wise to start smoothing things over first.
Trump has spent much of his two terms alienating the kinds of allies that could seemingly come to the United Statesā aid. And thatās arguably ramped up in his second term.
He has regularly made incendiary remarks at international get-togethers and acted as if he were trying to bully US allies rather than get along with them. This led to some extraordinary comments from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and others recently, in which they suggested perhaps their best course forward was a decoupling from the United States.
Trump repeatedly said he didnāt need longtime US allies and then turned around less than two months later and demanded help in a war he started. He insulted the sacrifices of allies and then asked them to sacrifice again.
At the very least, it would suggest Trump didnāt imagine himself in this position.
