Indeed.

However, we disagree on policy towards Russia....that's more a US state department thing that's independent of who's in charge, Trump or Biden.

Though notably Trump has promised to rid the state department of its neo cons if elected again.....maybe this time he'll actually do it.

The US has purely selfish motives for not wanting Germany and Russia to become closer....cheap energy being a significant one. People should note who economically benefits from that pipeline being blown (US/Norway).

When our energy bills rise significantly in April some will reflect on that.

A European power block that isn't dependent upon it and reliant upon its bases is another. In this Trump and the state department were at loggerheads as Trump actually thinks a militarily strong Europe is a good thing while the state department didn't.....I think the balance on that has changed now out of necessity.

Trump has definitely been proven right on that....though as expected you won't hear a peep out of the mainstream left to acknowledge it.

But that's only because it opposes their rival power block....one they have helped create themselves in BRICs.

Never let anyone tell you that stupidity doesn't reign amongst the ruling elites. It's usually little more than self interest supported by educated words but little longer term wisdom....I sometimes feel like their are little better than gamblers....indeed stupidity is more likely to be rewarded.

You are, at least, predictable!

Since when did 2+2=10?

That the origins of the Covid 19 pandemic were in a lab incident in Wuhan was always a reasonable possibility. Even a casual observer could have worked that out.

That was never the issue. The issue was stating it as a fact, and not a possibility. What was worse was vloggers going further and suggesting that releasing it was a deliberate act. When other causes existed, and still exist because China hasn't confirmed anything, speculation remains unwise. Being likely isn't confirmation. It's a working hypothesis.

Trump wasn't right. He picked up the possibility and politicised it to suit his own agenda. That was irresponsible. He foresaw the effect the pandemic would have on his Presidency and wanted to shift the blame.

It was, and remains, entirely appropriate that those spreading speculation to support an agenda were taken to task. Not because they might have been right, but because when nobody was sure, caution was required.

A similar thing is happening today with the release of some Matt Hancock messages on testing in care homes. This is Brexit level misinformation being spread around to support an agenda.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

You really have got it over trump haven’t you. Do you itch a lot

Johnson and Trump had the right idea at the start! Heard immunity carry on as normal! I guess his hands were tied by the WEF lot and those with money.
