So it seems Trump now has his General Keitel

Question for Donald Duck and Elsa Muck @mrjamesob.bsky.social how can Ukraine even hold an election when voters in 20% of their territory are unable to vote due to their land being occupied by the Russians?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social

An historical equivalent would be FDR calling Churchill a dictator and that the U.K. should allow Hitler free reign in Europe @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Does Trump think Churchill who was fighting for democracy was actually a dictator during WW2 @mrjamesob.bsky.social ?

@jamesrowlands.bsky.social I can’t help but think there are some black ops being considered in the CIA tonight James.

We are now in the position @mrjamesob.bsky.social where the US President thinks the Zelenskey is a dictator and Putin is a democrat.

Don’t bad mouth Trump says Vance a few hours after Trump bad mouths Zelensky.

A personal observation @mrjamesob.bsky.social if someone spouts bollocks at me I will not feel inclined to be shocked into action I will be more inclined to constantly point out that someone is spouting bollocks.

Let’s all remember that Poland actually started WW2 by letting itself to be invaded by Germany @mrjamesob.bsky.social

The problem with the ongoing debate on immigration @steverichards.bsky.social is no side is explaining the pay offs. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

You have to consider the integrity of this headline @steverichards.bsky.social as the poll shows only 19% consider Reform trustworthy vs 10% for the Tories. So while technically true I consider it at least disingenuous bordering on misleading

I’m assuming all those Leavers out there will be shouting loudly today about Vance’s speech and how he is interfering with another democratic countries political system?

‘He is absolutely within his rights to give a speech with any content that he chooses. That's absolutely right and proper’ says Patel on Vance’s speech Odd she didn’t seem to take the same position on Obama’s speech about trade deals in 2016 @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Evening @mrjamesob.bsky.social I am listening again to Sir Ian Kershaw’s seminal biography (its work related for the upcoming History exams) of Hitler and right now considering what is happening today it feels so much more contemporary than before. Particularly his foreword on Charismatic Authority
