It's just another stupid distraction to foment outrage as a distraction from his NSA blasting out confidential material illegally but being named as Ambassador to the UN instead of being tried for treason but then having to cover the NSA job with his SoS because he's already run out of "qualified" people plus his absolutely terrible polls plus his awful interviews plus not knowing what the Dec of Indy says plus, plus, plus, etc. etc. etc.

This is the thing - now and again somebody will mention something that this prick said or did just a week or so ago, and I find that I've forgotten it. And that's just a week.

From memory though - when they were crowing about the minerals deal, I don't think that there were any Trumpisms that day - none out of the ordinary, anyway.

If that was intentional - meaning that they are introducing what for this administration would be a new level of subtlety - that's even more worrying.
 
With Trump it’s more important that there is a deal than what’s in it. I suspect Ukraine have done ok with this minerals one because Trump will just lie about it.

If it keeps the weapons coming it’s a good deal for Ukraine.

What makes you think you were one of those cunts?

You might have been one of those people who called him Boris that wasn’t a ****.

No, I meant calling him "Boris" was an insult, I mean, who the fuck, as a straight from the establishment tory politician, would want to be called Boris with its russian connotations, and in my experience, admittedly largely from HIGNFY, "Boris" was always said with a note of derision, particularly by that cheeky chappie Ian Hislop

Truth be told the Americans played no meaningful role in World War 1 until the final three months of the conflict and even then in a support role. If you had to pick a single armed forces that fought that war and brought it to a successful conclusion in the final 100 days you'd have to pick the forces of the British Empire.

As for World War 2, the Yanks might want to monopolise VJ Day, but VE Day? The war in Europe could've been lost without the Yanks, but it was the Soviet Union that won it.
 
Pff the Americans were so brave to look away and remain in their "splendid isolation" even as unrestricted submarine warfare was putting their sailors to the bottom of the ocean lol, only to enter the war when they were kinda really forced into it trough things like the Zimmerman telegram or pearl harbor and the German declaration of war on the US 4 days after.

Americans the bravest? pff they have no references, atleast we Belgians have others who called us brave for what it was worth, be it Caesar of the Brittish empire, its not something we would need to self declare even if we wanted to. We were mainly brave in a fashion where we couldnt win but showed up and fought anyway, there is no inherit contradiction with the term brave and the term stupid. As to who was guaranteeing our independance and did the brunt of the fighting i dont think i need to lecture anyone here.

This is a good post.

The 1st World War is complex, had Belgium not resisted and instead allowed the Germans to steamroll their way to Paris, it wouldn't have mattered very much what the Brits did, and certainly not the Yanks. At key moments in that war every one of the allies, particularly France, played a pivotal role, with the exception of the Americans. It was the threat of what the Americans might do had the war continued that played a far greater role than anything they actually did.

What the Germans did in occupied Belgium during the 1st World War was appalling, the mass killings, the slave labour, the deportations. Not enough people know the privations the Belgians suffered during that shameful period.
