Staunton   17 #104 Posted July 14, 2019 Today's Mail reveals the astonishing recklessness of Trump causing shocking tensions with Iran, tensions that, apart from the appalling risk to peace, are already costing the UK taxpayer (that's you and me) as British defence forces are deployed in the Hormuz domain. And why did Trump trigger this crisis? Apparently for no better reason than to spite Barack Obama. This child in the White House is incapable of diplomacy or restraint. So, should we be grateful to the Mail for this information? The Mail is a stranger to social justice or measured, responsible reporting, it's own motivation for releasing the leaks relating to Kim Darroch were exactly similar in their reckless disregard for international stability to Trump's stupid provocation of Middle East tensions. This is the Mail doing what it does best, petulant destabilising, childish conduct in pursuit of its own political agenda, a withdrawal from Europe on any, or no, terms. Donald Trump, the Mail - there's no significant difference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
janie48   92 #105 Posted January 3, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cjnwl8q4ggwt/iran  I think we should be concerned.  Especially while Donald Trump is President. Not to mention the similar unpredictable nature of our own Prime Minister,  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest   #108 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) So did other last 2 presidents but no attack took place.  Trump the hypocrite has tweets when he targeted Obama (who was then president) about Iran - saying Obama was after votes "so he will attack Iran" and that Obama "was showing how tough he is".  Now Trump has done what he was against, when Obama was in the white house!  Few years ago Trump didnt even know who General Sulaimani was, he even thought the radio presenter was talking about the Kurds!   Edited January 3, 2020 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
