My posts are entirely my personal opinions.
It's really good to see MTG wise up to the truly shocking nature of Trump.

The answer to your question is contingent on his current behaviour. If he no longer espouses extreme right wing political views and actively displays socially adapted behaviour then it can be written down to teenage angst of some sort.
In the absence of any such evidence you know what to think.

I anticipate Farage et al up in arms about this. If ever a man deserved the proverbial 'kicking' that's almost certainly coming his way, it's Farage.

It's about the dance required to maintain what is seen as an advantageous relationship.
Consider who made the statement and what it did and, specifically, did not touch on.

The edges between expediency and decency have gotten a bit blurred.
The UK has to have a moral compass and it should be held by the person in charge, in this case, Starmer.

You must have forgotten why he wants Ukraine to surrender to Russia.
Trump and Putin have a deal to share Ukraine's rare earth mineral wealth between themselves. Trump is looking to become fabulously personally wealthy.

I thought you had a more subtle intelligence. I may have got that wrong.

It was also extrajudicial which makes it a capital crime. I wonder if Hegseth's sphincter has suddenly tightened in intense fear driven cramp.

I will also be happy to see those, who deliberately misled the electorate in the EU Referendum, jailed for their treachery.

The cowardice of all those politicians who fail to read the anger in the country that #Brexit has brought to the surface will see their careers end in tatters.
I have never felt as disappointed in the Labour Party as I do now.
I will be voting for the Party that commits to rejoin the EU.

The irony is mind bending!

In one sense I wish I lived in the fantasy world of Roger Bootle.
In reality I'm glad I don't.
For clarity, #Brexit has been and continues to be a HUGE drain, costing the UK untold damage and undermining our quality of life. Little Englanders and Russian assets have a lot to answer for.

What is the significance?

Also, the EU is actually about the same size as the USA and Russia combined.
People need to understand that Trump and Putin are soulmates as far as greed and contempt for the lives of others are concerned. They have agreed to carve up Ukraine's assets and to hell with a little casual murdering.
