Tsar Nicholas II seemed untouchable until one night, the Tsarina looked out onto the courtyard of the Winter Palace and saw no sign of the Imperial Guard.
The army had turned and forced his abdication.
Something similar happened to King Charles I, Caligula, the Ceaucescus, Mussolini.....

Trump is above the law. Here in the "backward" UK, not even the King is above the law.
The sitting PM, Alex "Boris" Johnson, and then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, were fined for lockdown breaches. We know what happened to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Yet Taco does just what he wants...

The entire world can see this deranged idiot walking roughshod over the Constitution that America used to boast about and getting away with it.
They see his crimes pardoned.
It's making the US look weak and stupid.
We need a strong, respected America, especially now.
"Leader of the Free World"? 🤣

Nuremberg established that 'I was only obeying orders' is no defence, but that doesn't excuse those further up the chain of command who put the guardsmen in a very difficult position.
How much pressure was put on them? What kind of pressure?
A lot of questions. We are watching with interest 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇪🇺🇳🇿🇦🇺🇺🇦

They should have refused to go, especially when the court had ruled the deployment illegal, I agree.
I disagree that they 'asked for it', though.
No-one deserves to be shot for weakness or ignorance, or even for being MAGA

Imagine if Sir Keir Starmer ordered an illegal deployment of troops. The King would certainly have 'a quiet word' during the weekly audience, Parliament would be in uproar, the right-wing media would explode, and there would be protests in every major city.

Trump has been warned that if he uses security resources to track immigrants instead of terrorists there will be consequences.
Same with diverting anti terrorist resources to harass his political opponents.
He was was ordered to remove antagonistic troops from cities.
He has failed US troops.

Those poor people shouldn't have been there. They were just tools, deployed to make the Mango Mussolini feel tough. Now, as victims, they are pawns in Taco's sick game.

Herr Farage has been remarkably quiet lately. Is he quite well, do you think?
His bff is having a bad time in DC, Reform is dropping in the polls, I have heard (not much about it in the press, though). Now this.....follow the money....

Thank you for clearing up my confusion.
Yesterday, I read that the Trump administration had granted him permission to remain in the US.
Today, Patel claimed that the Biden administration had welcomed him

Uncontrolled gun ownership will inevitably lead to tragedy. We in the UK and Europe learned that long ago.
I just pray Trump doesn't use this inexcusable act as a pretext for draconian action

There is no English government. The English Parliament absorbed the Scottish and Irish Parliaments, but devolution was never extended back to England, leaving us with the weird situation of being the only Home Nation without a devolved government

But the British government has files. MI6 and MI5 have files.
Buckingham Palace will have conducted their own separate investigation.
Royal espionage goes back centuries and is very thorough.
Putin definitely has files
