“No free speech, no deal. It is as simple as that,”

So he’s going to push this condition onto everyone that they deal with right? Saudi Arabia and Israel for example.

They’re currently getting the help to look under sofa cushions to raise the money.

Not only that rule. Also the specific rule that they agreed to which was to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty if they gave up their nukes.

In fairness, they are also betraying the poor people in the rich countries too. And everyone else who has kids and grand kids to inherit the mess.

If Trump is a Russian asset as we all believe then Putin will have irrefutable proof that would be able to put Trump in prison.

He’s also likely to have evidence of other crimes that everyone is pretty sure that he has done and is doing.

A lot of the publicly available stuff has a lack of evidence, a lack of motivation to get the evidence or a lack of will to impeach and prosecute a sitting president. It’s possible that Putin could release enough information to overcome those barriers.

That’s what I was thinking except I was thinking about the military. Why are the numbers for health so much lower than for war. It’s not a little lower it’s multiple zeroes lower and that’s not just the US. The UK is paying $22m to the WHO but has a military budget more than 3,000 times larger!

What Hamas did is very excusable.

They killed and kidnapped civilians which isn’t excusable. It would have been excusable to attack the military, not civilians.

Also various places want their stolen objects back from our museums.

Finders keepers shut up!

The West can’t trust America anymore when they used to be the most reliable partner which shows that everyone needs to reduce their reliance on external states as much as possible.

We relied on Russia for energy when they weren’t a friendly country. We still rely on China for tech and manufacturing and they can’t be described as friendly. And then we find out that we’re too reliant on USA who also turned out to be unfriendly.

I don’t think that those are mutually exclusive options.

It definitely shouldn’t have been decided with a 52% majority on a 72% turnout.

I don’t think that it’s only a leadership thing.

I think that there’d be enough voters who would be too proud to lose the pound that any referendum to rejoin would lose even if opinion polls showed that most people thought that it was a mistake (I don’t actually know what opinion poles say about this topic).

Going back to the EU with our tail between our legs isn’t going to go down well with anyone so won’t be happening anytime soon.

We’d not be able to reject the Schengen area or Euro so I’d imagine that most remain voters wouldn’t even agree to it.
