If Vance gets in next, I think he will actually be even more antagonistic towards Europe in general.

Vance would be a nightmare, very little chance he carks it from old age any time soon either.

Yep definitely.

At the moment I think Trump is a useful idiot for people to get the ball rolling on a lot of this nasty shit and when the time is right he'll be booted out for Vance and things will get even worse. He's backed by Peter Thiel and he is shady as fuck.

If Trump goes after 2 years then Vance gets the remainder of the term plus two more terms = 10 years as president.

I think the Republicans have a tall order winning the next election tbh

The notion he’s going to look at invading a NATO country to avoid “looking over there” is pretty extreme

Hence why i said 'also', as it's likely not the primary motivation for this fiasco. The guy does have a record for lots of words and bluster with nothing concrete actually happening, which would lend some credence to him wanting to keep headlines elsewhere.

I think it's most likely the case that the lunatic genuinely thinks the US should own Greenland and he gives zero fucks what anyone else thinks about it.

Seems like things heating up in Minneapolis. A right wing influencer planned a rally where he promised to burn a Koran - it didn’t end well.

Well, I guess the reaction completely validated his point in fairness.

Set fire to a Union Jack in this country and see how it goes.

Seems they made him cry lol

How so? Dickhead plans to do something deliberately incendiary and is met by disorder. I suppose it’s what Trump would refer to as FAFO.

She played a stupid game and won the prize, unfortunately.

A Union Jack to the UK, and a Koran to the USA should not be a straight comparison.

Sure, how about setting fire to a bible in the Bible Belt?

Yeah, I mean it is unnecessary move and he was likely to get into hot water, but if you a burning a holy book to demonstrate a problem with free speech around it, and then you get beaten up, then it more or less writes itself.

I know what you are trying to get at, but this isn't correct.

That's like saying it would be more like burning a Koran on the streets of Jeddah. This was in the United States. It isn't a Muslim country.

Incredible how you’ve gone from “play stupid games etc” to claiming that burning a book is some kind of heroic intellectual exercise in a matter of days.

It isn’t a Christian one either, it’s a secular nation. Not a theocracy.

You've got completely lost on this.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Don't think so. If you made a show of burning the Bible anywhere with evangelical Christians around, you probably know what would happen.

Hard disagree. He’s within his right to do/say what he likes, but actions have consequences. This bizarre idea that “freedom of speech” means you can say as you please and no one is allowed to respond to it doesn’t pass the smell test.
