Odds are DJT might not complete his second term paving way for Vance. He already indicated readiness to takeover.
Flangelo12:
Vance would never rule US.

The present class of Republicans would be barred from public office after this ends.

Starmer is walking on thin ice.

This story has led to a massive debate on Twitter. Some British people are asking how a Nigerian woman can send British youth to go and die overseas. Nigerians reply that she is not Nigerian, she is British. The Britons insist that she is Nigerian, but Nigerians say that she was born in the UK, she said that she does not feel Nigerian and Nigerians have disowned her.

Why does the US only attack countries that have large amounts of CRUDE OIL?

Did usa have any issues with Germany when Britain begged them to help join the war and defeat Germany...if not for USA , Britain go de speak German by now ...u and I will be speaking german today .... Putin is watching... I trust Trump
Don't let the US fool you bro.

Hitler was already on the retreat at the time the Americans joined the war. The same Americans then claimed that the war ended because of their involvement.

That's America for you grin

Don't mind them.


I wonder why America will need any other country to fight small Iran.

Unless they are not the most powerful nation in the world like they claim

Lloyds decided to withdraw shipping insurance for the Strait of hormuz which theyve done for centuries and the USA decided to take over and backed it up with naval protection..

Big loss for the UK..
How many ships have agreed to that proposal? Has the Us Navy been able to escort any vessel through the strait since Trump made that announcement?

You started by attacking the German language as if the English language is any better and that is what i responded. There is absolutely no difference in speaking English or German. Both are colonial languages imposed on us by colonialist.

As for Hitler, all you have read about him are the stories written by those that won the war. When you win a war, you shape the narrative. If Germany had won the war, Hitler would have shaped the narrative and nobody will paint him as evil today. In fact, the rest of the us would be praising him as a kind of savior of humanity and those that opposed him that time will be the ones we would be calling all the evil names. We would even be grateful we are speaking German instead of English just like you are doing.

Listen after 2:00
Can you read, can you listen and can you comprehend??

Everything he said is right there and here's a summary of it:

1) The United Kingdom did not join the initial attacks on Iran, Donald Trump said that he's diappointed in the UK, but he stands by his decision. His duty is to do what's in the best interest of the United Kingdom and that's what he has done. He also believes that the best way to resolve issues is via negotiations.

2) He has denied requests for the United States to use British bases in Cyprus. He has obligations to the UK's friends and allies in Cyprus and he believes that this is the best decision. He won't allow the US to use British bases in Cyprus.

A Royal Air Force base in Cyprus was attacked. That was not because of any decision that he made.

3) Iran has been attacking targets across the Middle East since the death of the Supreme Leader. He believes that this is reckless and can cause serious problems. He believes that the best way to stop these attacks is to destroy the missiles either in storage or in their launchers. Solely for this defensive purpose he has accepted a later American request to use British bases to destroy the missiles in their storage or launchers. They can only be used in this purpose.

This explanation is clear, it will be my last and it also goes for the other accounts that are raising this issue.

It was clearly stated in the video that I posted and it was clearly stated in the article that I posted and I will not be explaining something so obvious again.

Kemi is not in touch with the modern world. She has a mind of a 1980 's person. Why will Britain get involved ? It is prudent to avoid war. Iv seen Kemi talk. She is only good at criticizing Nigeria that she is spot on
. Her foreign policy is old fashioned from 1980. The problem with Trump and Kemi is that they are full of themselves.

When you look at Europe, France not Wanting to get involved in Iran don't they pause and think " What is going on here ? " And then change thinking pattern.

Same thing I said Pal.

He accepted a request to use British bases to bomb Iranian storage.

It’s a reasonable compromise.

You don't know anything.

The war in Ukraine, did Russia attack France or U.K? Why did they help fund the war against Russia?

When I'm talking about a coward ally , you shouldn't be talking.

Britain does not have any war with Iran, but Iran fired and bombed their base in Cyprus. All the gulf countries Iran bombed are in war with Iran right? So what crap are you saying child?

You think it's ewedu, rice and beans that I'm talking about?

Islamic jihadists and terrorists must be eliminated.

"President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved in the initial strikes, but it is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest, that is what I have done". He also explains why Britain refused to allow America use British bases in Cyprus.
