I don't see things as being 'x is to blame' when the situation of geo-politics is incredibly complicated, and can't really be struck down to a simple statement. The problem of North Korea goes back to the 1950s, and every successive leader in the US and North Korea, along with China and the UN (among others) has some degree of involvement in the complexity of the problem that is North Korea. There is no real solution to the problem, that doesn't either play out remarkably well for North Korea, or badly for South East Asia. Its like Cuba on steroids.

You can't see the bigger picture.......but you're not alone in being wrong. True, the whole Trump as president, is the pathology of a system that is deeply flawed, and an pathological electorate (too many Americans have 'irrational' reasons for why they vote democrat or republican, rather than practical ones). Representation in the US is p1ss poor, especially of the working / ordinary citizens. Neither the Republican or Democratic party seem overly interested in representation and delivering back to the US people. Which is why Saunders did so well in the primaries and Trump beat Clinton. The US has reached a point where people are desperate enough to vote for a f**ktard as president, because at least he was saying some of the things they wanted to hear (even if it was all bulls**t and he's backed away from a lot of those issues). The disconnect between what politicans represent and what the people actually need is so dramatic its a farce. In which case its not surprising that they elected a farce as president. Its not the president that stokes the far right or far left, that's the tip of the iceberg, its the economic situation and prospects of the citizens: people hate and get radicalised because they see no hope or return in the existing system for progress. Of course, the far right and far left also tend to be talking bulls**t rhetoric, but it does give people someone 'to blame for the situation', outside of the political scope (Capitalists, the Jews, Immigrants etc). It was the same with Nazi Germany, the failure of the state generated a situation where in the far left and far right flourished, and led to the rise of the Nazi party - because they monumentally failed the people. When in truth, the only people who really are to blame, is the people in charge. The US political system is failing to deliver anything but more hardships to too many people.

Agreed, ditto the Brexit result. I just wish more would see it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the Trump presidency is 'great entertainment', proving that reality shows can work, if only you focus on the reality. Its really like watching a man race to the bottom. I'm also impressed, when Bush jnr was president, I never imagined that there would be a worse and more poorly equipped person elected leader. I always thought I had a very active imagination, but its nice to know there is more to life than I can imagine!

It does make you question the validity of a democracy, where a man who can barely construct a coherent sentence, is elected to lead the nation. Its like a Forrest Gump for spoilt rich kids.

Well there's nothing to say about Hilary now and it's pretty easy to find the negatives in the words of someone who doesn't give a fcuk what they say. Of the ridiculous things he says, many aren't that ridiculous if you're not out to demonise. In the depressing context of a 2 horse race, which US and UK elections invariably are, there'd have been much more pro-Clinton rather than anti-Trump sentiment over here while in the States they accepted it wasn't a great decision to have to make.

The latest example on the BBC's YouTube page of their anti-Trump propaganda [Link] See attached screen shot. NOTHING on Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee paying for the discredited dossier on Trump. NOTHING on the investigation into the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton selling of 20 per cent of the USA's uranium to Russia via backhanders. Instead, there are three anti-Trump stories. Says everything you need to know about the BBC's anti-Trump and anti-Republican agenda. Edited by Penge Eagle (26 Oct 2017 9.23pm)
