The question in bold you'll probably ask yourself again in five years time when Nigel Farage is the P.M. grin

If there's one thing I've learnt from history is that humans never learn from it.

They'll keep making the same mistakes time and time again.

Hehehe... was an interesting event. Quite a few snippets

Super proud of Carneys speech. Straight and direct. So glad he's Canada's PM now. He instills confidence in times of economic uncertainty.

... we compete with each other to be the most accomodating. This is not sovereignty, its the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.... Mark Carney PM of Canada

J D Vance had to row back quickly after running his mouth yet again and trying to diss the UK as some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years.

I guess he forgot when the US begged asked the UK to back them in the war against Iraq and Afghanistan after they came under attack on 9/11, and we and many other EU countries joined their fight and lost thousands of soldiers in the process. It also marked the beginning of the end of Blair's premiership.

And Vance was going on about disrespect last week. Silly.

Reminds me of how the role of soldiers from the colonies in supporting Britain in the world wars has been progressively airbrushed from history. Give Rump and Dunce a few more years and the vast majority of Americans will genuinely not know that Europeans took part in their country’s war in Afghanistan.

Of course that’s assuming that a reasonable number do currently but I’m feeling generous this morning.

The speech was fire though
Same with Macron speech

Trump as usual will always respond like a 🤡 🤡

My eyes are on the Fed cases against Cook and Powell...
If one or both of them go left, then American credibility s gone for good

Again, how did Americans vote this man-child into office

You see, the thing with these guys is that they are wannabe macho men, while in reality, they are weak and insecure men
That's why everything has to be "show of power"

Lol.. typical.
It's refreshing to see a world leader call it what it is - right in front of Trump.

So far, KS and the EU have been on an appeasement drive thinking that Trumps tenure would soon be over and things would return to their previous state. This is looking all the more unlikely as a good chunk of the American populace want most of the current change. The pandoras box is open and even a democrat is unlikely to make a 180deg reversal.

I keep wondering. Why is there so much uprage in the west regarding Greenland when not much was said in favour of Venezuela?
Are there limits on what countries should be recipients of imperialism?

Still boils down to the hypocrisy I keep talking of.

This is a lesson to African nations. We need to strengthen regional trade and alliance.

Hey fam please i was about applying for a fresh nigerian passport for my son. It looks like there is a new requirement from the last screen on the application portal - requirement to provide Local government certificate of indigeneship/attestation of citizenship from the Embassy.

My son is from imo state by the way… please how have people here navigated this requirement??

Not required. Make sure parents have NIN.

Thank you Giselle for your response. That requirement on the document upload page has a red asterisk showing it is mandatory before i proceed. Would you advise I upload copies of mother and father NIN in that section ?

Annexing a territory as part of yours and removing a despot for crooked reasons are not remotely the same thing
Let us use our brains and "reason this matter" for once

American interests (in cahoots with Russian oligarchs et al) have funded disruptive elements across Europe (Le Pen, AfD etc)
Orban is the product of that
Brexit manipulation and the. results was another
Even the election results in Poland last year


Trump is just the dummy that spelt it explicitly in the security strategy documents that his admin released.

In my books, that interference is the same as interfering in who leads Venezuela

A reasonable equivalence would have been America saying they will annex Venezuela (or parts of it ), Iraq, or Kuwait as part of the United States, which we both know has never happened

So yeah, Europeans have EVERY RIGHT to cry foul when a drunk despot want to annex a part of their territory, and it is not by any means "hypocrisy" like some here are wrongly framing it
Just saying sha

In Trump first admin, European countries suffered "woto woto" from Trump tariff wise, and other aggressions
That same drunk negotiated with the taliban unilaterally and left European allies stranded in Afghanistan, making them abruptly withdraw

So this narrative that "hand just dey touch them" is very wrong
Its more complex than the simplistic framework I have seen some frame it

Could this be due to change in ideology or folks just leaving the party for Kemi.

It's also possible that her supposed downfall and replacement is not as eminent as many thought or desired.
