Most Successful Politician Ever

Or just another clown with a following?

Looking forward to the day when he's in charge of us all. 🤣

Yet another idiot in Hymie's estimation.   Perhaps NJ has stopped respondng to you because everyone is  an idiot except you.

Trump’s 34 convictions are felony criminal acts (each punishable by more than 1 year in jail), and not misdemeanours (considered less serious crimes).

[davebro3]

I wasn't using misdemeanours in the strict legal sense....

[davebro3]

maybe I shoulda said "wrongdoings"

[Hymie]

....or just crimes

There's a strange smell in the air; I think it might be emanating from the Liberal Left's soiling of its collective underwear at the thought of Nigel entering into main-stream parliamentary politics.

Farage is absolutely correct. With the collapse of the USSR Putin (whom I dislike intensely btw) was promised that if Soviet troops moved out of the former DDR and Ukraine's nuclear weapons were removed, NATO would not advance any further Eastwards.

Go figure!

What Farage said is "completely wrong" and only plays into Putin's hands, Sunak says, adding that Putin was behind the release of nerve agents on the streets of Britain.

This kind of appeasement is "dangerous for Britain's security" as well as our allies and only emboldens Putin further, Sunak says.

He's right. Nothing good - and a lot of bad - can come of Farage saying that, and you have to wonder why he said it of all times during a UK election campaign, when Ukraine is our ally and Russia is our enemy.

OP Douglas,"Just another clown with a following" Spot on. You would have thought a lesson would have been learned with the Boris scam.😎

He has a following but he's no clown.

NATO didn't advance. They merely considered requests to join, no canvassing, nor bribery, nor invasions. So the reality is that Russia was miffed that independent nations were being allowed to do as they wanted, as if they were sovereign. How dare they ? And as a result of their own actions had more choose to join or apply to join NATO than would have; they having finally had their eyes opened. So, nothing to do with anything NATO did then.

 

This is a ball drop as large as Sunak's D-Day one. Getting everyone's back up by supporting the Russian excuse for their behaviour right on the cusp of the GE. (Probably hoping to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.)

 

Russia made their own decision, by themselves, and if one feeble excuse wasn't available they have found a different one.

if jeremy corbyn said exactly the same thing word for word then the same people who defend farage would be calling him unpatriotic. 
 

i think an awful lot of people (especially on the right) seem to take politics as a "vibe". it's more about whether you like the personality than anything else. many people who like boris johnson seem to behave like this too. very sad and very stupid

Quite correct, Gorby was in charge, but Vladimir was far from being a "nobody".

It has occurred to me that if Farage had predicted this event before any military action occurred, then it's possible that he was the individual who first suggested the activity for the Russians to consider. If it were so, then he's a very successful politician indeed. One statement from him and nations go to war.

It has occurred to me that someone needs to up their medication.

[Old_Geezer]

So, lack of medication gives wisdom & insight ?
