The principle wa..ahh, of course you wouldn't undestand the meaning Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

He was making the point about the US interfering in other countries affairs is roundly criticised - yet they do so for the very same reasons SB does. And with much greater information. Shame you needed that explaining really, but the fact you did tells us a great deal Sent from my SM-G935F...

So it is the same in reverse isn't it? The US is protecting it's domestic & foreign interests & those of its allies. I don't like the how, but have to trust it is needed to allow me (& you) to continue enjoy the benefits I currently do! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

There is minimal chance of Iran declaring outright war on the US too. Russia annexing Crimea & occupying part of Ukraine? Nah, never happen. Although, if nobody stands up to/for them..! I know you aren't resident here which is why I put the bit in brackets. It also begs the question why you...

We have to remain neutral in the worst cases, & support thier actions in the best ones. Boris has little or no influence over Trump at present. Once we have those awful trade deals you're expecting with the US we shall see a degree of growth in our influence though. Sent from my SM-G935F using...

But that is the rub isn't it? You don't want to get involved in US wars (but seem affronted our PM is quiet so far on the matter?), but if the UK were invaded by Russia or had some kind of ISIS uprising in the UK...people such as you (that actually live here) would be apoplectic if the US...

Which is what Boris is probably talking to & taking issue about with Trump. It is easy to criticise...the US is basically the mast we have nailed our colours to, & our best bet to get behind. We are a bit part player militarily on the global stage beyond our nuclear arsenal. The US is certainly...

Eventually they were yes. Support roles especially. All help is better than none - but when the chips are down you want someone you can rely on to either act on your behalf or to negotiate a way out for you. We rely on the US as our tower of strength. We cannot rely on the EU Sent from my...

I suspect he is saying it all to Trump & his own advisors with view to ensuring, as far as possible, the safety of our own 400 or so armed forces as well as any civilians out there. Tbh - I prefer that to running straight to the media with sound bites, but agree that after 24hrs (like now!) he...

The EU doesn't enter into the argument. They are far too cumbersome & steeped in vested but extremely diverse interests to ever really do anything other than talk (& pacify) as a unit. The French would maybe get stuck in after losing patience...the rest just offer - well, nothing really Sent...

The resulting carnage & loss of life PLUS what nowadays results in prolonged rebel attacks & loss of national esteem when finally sneaking away makes it most unlikely to be a very strong motivator on its own now imo Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

...but they did, and we have what we have, and we have not too much military might do anything about anything very much ourselves in other parts of the world. So other than to side with the Russians or Chinese we simply have to go it alone & get picked on/walked over, or stick with the US who...

In truth...the idea of going to war to win elections is a thing of the very distant past. There is no way the US wants a war with Iran. The prolonged mess resulting from the last two such major incursions...Afghanistan & Iraq - neither of whom I suspect were ranked anywhere near where Iran are...

Yeah...you...by saving a few quid in 1 fill-up lol Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Just because you have done the right thing by your mate - you have done what you seem to do on every issue - think you're an expert, & seek all data available to confirm your beliefs. Almost like you have a full grasp & understanding on why people become homeless, how to get them out of it. You...

But they DO NOT say austerity is the cause of more people becoming homeless. Most recently, uncertainty bought about by denial over & delay of Brexit has created so much turmoil THAT could be blamed, you could blame relaxed border controls & poor implementation of EU &/or UK border laws from...

Nor care about having a roof over their head Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Im not arguing the terrible outcome, not arguing the change to his benefits impacted either. I am arguing that to blame austerity directly for everything you take issue with because of lack of funding (or misuse of) is as ludicrous as all the arguments you & others have made about people blaming...

Not everybody wants to contribute positively to society either. What would you do with them? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
