At work we have a client who owns an oil company and a private jet, he's a Republican mega-donor and friends with Rick Perry, Trump's energy secretary in his first administration. When Perry ran for President my client gave him use of his private jet. The US struck a deal with Ukraine for arms in exchange for access to Ukrainian oil and gas during Trump's first presidency. In exchange for the use of his jet my client was given ownership of Ukrainian oil fields at knock-off rates. The US literally sold weapons from companies owned by Republican donors in exchange for Ukrainian minerals to give to other Republican donors. Trump's pushing for the same deal again, if it's rejected the price will be Ukrainian blood.
Caught a bit of it on Radio 5 yesterday and it made me so angry to think that the BBC is wasting my license fee giving the most deluded and stupid PM and ex-MP in our history a platform on national radio.
I see that Ukraine are being pressured into signing the peace deal that gives America access to the huge mineral deposits. One of the bargaining chips is apparently no access to Starlink if you don’t sign. The Ukrainian military relies heavily on this. Nothing like bullying your way to a deal.
He is a bully. Cowardly and insecure like most bullies. This article I thought was just about correct From saviour to Judas… How Trump’s pivot on Russia also endangers his own country | Simon Tisdall https://www.theguardian.com/comment...ivot-on-russia-also-endangers-his-own-country
Daily Trump Sunday Supplement. In today's news, his Dark Maga fanboi just sent everybody an email saying 'tell me what you did this week or resign'. Meanwhile, his best pal Putin - the one 'with all the cards' just dropped the biggest single drone attack since the start of their invasion.
Sent it on a Saturday afternoon with a deadline of Monday. No stated exceptions for anyone not at work on Monday for one reason or another. Wonder how making 2.4 million people unemployed at once will affect the economy
The only people that think Elon Musk is an intelligent person are people that know nothing about anything he claims to be an “expert” at. He’s a charlatan of the highest order and very clearly is just talking ******** that sounds like it could be right while paying people that are a lot smarter than him and claiming their work as his own.
I have always said that hate is a very strong word, but I make an exception when I see or hear this w@nker
Directly making 2.4 million people unemployed at once would cripple their economy and trigger a worldwide recession - possibly even depression. Each person that loses their income is said to affect indirectly the income of 10 other people - When you are unemployed, you don't go (as often) to bars and restaurants, take taxis or use hotels, have your hair cut or use a child minder. So in reality, 2.4 million people losing their jobs would be somewhere approaching 2.4 million directly losing their jobs and 24 million indirectly losing their jobs or on lower income. With nobody to process their social security claims...
Me again... so when Elongate is over and he has 'done and dusted' and stretched all the U.S. govt. institutions to breaking point, how long before the muske-tears start to fall? Incidentally, 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN' for those MAGAs (Trump-ets) who hang on his and Trump's every word should realise that it does not mean 'MAKE AMERICA a GREAT country to live, work, bring up a family, realise your dreams and ambitions AGAIN' unless, that is, you are an oligarch. Trump, Musk and the extreme right wing republican don't give a sh*t about the average 'Joe'.
Boris was the first leader to support Ukraine and he's not forgotten them even though he's no longer an MP. He's right about Putin. Let's see what deal Ukraine appear to be close to announcing with America about Russia.
We laugh at Trump and Americans, but I’ve just been re-reminded that they live among us as well. This is a Facebook ‘friend’ of mine. Someone I used to know when I was younger, but haven’t seen for years, but he’s obviously still there where I left him, in the past. Sad thing is rather than challenging him, I’ve just unfollowed because it would be a waste of my time, and I’d be piled on by those ‘wanting are cuntry back’. There is no defence against stupidity.
The same people who are deeply unhappy at refugees coming here to claim asylum are deeply unhappy at helping them where they come from so they don't have to come here...
So have you admitted you were wrong to push for our own instance of shooting ourselves in the face for the benefit of oligarchs at the expense of the average Joe (Brexit) or do you think that was the right decision still?
