A Political Thread pt. 2

[McTallshort]

Good idea but one question. Out of curiosity, if I want to post about the US kicking Prince Harry out for falsifying immigration paperwork and that we (collectively as a nation) are willing to trade him back to the UK for a haggis, would that be in the American political or the European political thread?

It would be under "The Rightful persecution of Ginger Royals" thread

Seems more like a trade thread. We'll take him if you'll have Boris Johnson back.

They can have Piers Morgan back too.

Glad Liz Truss seems to have stayed over there. Hopefully Farage will go over and stay, I'm sure he will miss Clacton but I'm sure that's a sacrifice he's willing to make

Clacton won't miss him

You'll have to go on the Scottish thread for haggis.

Haggis is banned in the colonies

Haggis is banned in the colonies

There may be a demand for chlorinated haggis across the pond.

We'll put a 1000% surcharge on them just for strumpet.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

To further @AlRums comment.

TV personalities running a government...what could go wrong

 

[Sour Patch Kid]

They can have Piers Morgan back too.

That's tough, I can't stand Piers Morgan although Johnson and his hair is pretty funny. Think you'd have to agree to take Megan Markle too for that deal.

Trump says any country buying Venezuelan oil will face a 25% tariff

Yet more threats because strumpet didn't like the election result

[Saintjay]

Yeah but he's not ever accidently invited someone to the group 'bombing chat' at work

They really are that predictable.

UK-EU defense pact really does depend on fish, European minister warns

Countries including France are said to want to tie a new post-Brexit security deal to more beneficial access to British waters, potentially holding up military cooperation.

www.politico.eu

Pathetic levels of Politicking from France after talking such a big talk about Europe the past month or two - they've no problems with Scandanavian, Korean, Japanese etc. companies getting involved, it's just when Britain wants to they have an issue
It's not even like it's the EU all banding together to say no - Germany said they're more than happy for Britain to be in the mix

 

[General Melchett]

What a pair of melts Vance and Hegseth are.

Europe are freeloading and need to pay for America to bomb the Houthis and re-open shipping lanes even though the Houthis are an Iran backed terrorist group who only caused disruption in the first place due to America's foreign policy in the middle east.

The 'not our border, not our problem' narrative doesn't seem to apply to the middle east.

And we all wonder and moan why the US and Russia laugh at Europe.

Hey, there's a channel between us and and Europe. It's worked in the past
