  1. Vance is even worse. Equally sick, but much younger.

  4. We lost a good friend, and Iran and Russia gained one.

  5. If there had been evidence of intentional genocide, of course. War of aggression is harder to prove. Arguably; there was defensive intent. And Sadaam had used chemicsl weapons and had started two wars of aggression costing 7 million lives , so there was a moral case for regime change.

  6. Your last fact wasn't a fact. EU migration to the UK grew the economy and disproportionately grew treasury income.

  7. Shapiro is the next Obama, if you mean oratory skills. If you mean foreign policy, we really don't want another Obama.

  8. His time would be better spent visiting the new German chancellor.

  9. Sweet moderation in this world of hyperbole.

  10. It's a great job under normal circumstances. Maybe he thought he could influence events. He's not a bad guy.

  11. Everyone sees themselves as thr victim, so there is no guilt. Soooo dangerous.

  12. Trump will win, alas, because far right populism dominates the internet, and is poisoning the debate across the democracies, and because nobody remembers the horrors of fascism. Fascism is very much on the rise.

  13. ​ @chrisferguson237 No; there was no genocide, nor were there territorial annexations. There was regime change, for which there was a moral case, as Hussain had started 2 wars of aggression costing 7 million lives, and had used chemical weapons on the majority Shia population.

  14. Oligarchic nationalism v social democracy is the new divide. Trump and co simply aren't on our side.

  15. Indifference perhaps.

  16. You don't believe in the west. You like poo tin and winnie the pooh.

  17. America isn't tolerant enough yet to elect a woman of color. Perhaps in 25 years. Until then it will prefer embittered old men.

  18. gleichgueltig translates as indifferent

  19. I think both wanted it, as they both the far right in Israel and HAMAS gain their support by excberating and intensifying conflict.

  20. There are enough idiots here, too.

  23. Yeah, time to rebuild our European alliances. Not 2016. He controls every key institution, including the Supreme Court now.

  24. indifferent, you're right.

  26. They are moderates.

  27. Power sharing could be zn option on the northern Irish model, except nobody is talking to each other in northern Ireland either.

  28. They won't panic. Shapiro will be the 48th president. If he had run, he would have been the 47th. Biden's last great mistake, and he has made many, esp. in foreign policy, was to foist Harris onto the party. Obama knew it was a mistake at the time.

  29. Was his intent immoral?

  30. I'm old enough to remember the illegal invasions of Iran and Kuwait by the Sadaam family business, costing 7 million lives. I hope nobody is falsely equating Bush/Blair with Putin, who is attacking a peaceful country.

  31. They do. Normal people are a bit racist, and normal men are a bit sexist. They just try to appeal to our better side. And fail.

  32. If the Saudis have the Palestinians interests at heart, it would help the Palestinians if relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia were to normalise.

  33. This is the new age of fascism. We have forgotten the lessons of the past, we find it exciting and entertaining, and there will be war.

  34. We are entering a second age of fascism, and I'm not sure thst this time we will escape it.
