  1. No they are not. Most Irish, let alone others, don't know the horror of British occupation of Ireland. In 1840, the population of Ireland was 9.5 million. Then came the potato blight. The corn, barley, rye, wheat, and oat crops were NOT effected. BUT, those were cash crops, taken out of Ireland to be sold, to make British landowners rich. The Irish were left to starve. It was illegal to fish in our own rivers - that was punishable by death. BY 1850, the population of Ireland was reduced to 1.5 MILLION. Most did NOT emigrate. Most just DIED. The Brits caused the DEATH of OVER 6 MILLION Irish. That was not to be equaled until the Nazi Holocaust. Don't believe?? Just look up the 1840 and 1850 population statistics of Ireland.

  2. UK finally declines to a third tier power. That is what I think is going to happen. Scotland will break away, and likely join the EU. Northern Ireland will break away, and join the rest of Ireland to get back into the EU. Wales?? Don't know, but I suspect will stay with England.

  3. Once England sheds the other parts of the UK, it would be smart to petition the US to become the 51st state.

  7. I disagree with him that UK's influence has gone down. First the EU has almost NO influence. The EU is NOT a nation. It has no foreign policy. It has no military. It does have money. So, you have to ask yourself -- Has France's influence gone up? Has Germany's influence gone up? I think not. Influence is only partly done by economic strength. It is also done by diplomacy, by commitment, by steadfastness, and by decisiveness. The EU, by its structure --- lacks commitment to anything, not very reliable, is not decisive, and CANNOT be steadfast since it cannot enter into a military alliance. For instance, how is the EU handling the Greco-Turkey problem? It is not handling it. Is the EU involved in ANY way in enforcing UN laws of the sea in the South China Sea??? It is not. The UK is involved, and is deepening its relationship with the US. BTW.. the EU is not NATO, of which, UK is still a member.

  8. As President of the United States, Trump sees himself playing Monopoly/Risk. He lands on Greenland, he gets to buy it from its current owner. After purchase, he gets to build houses and hotels.

  9. He has a plan. Today - Greenland. Tomorrow - The World.

  11. Why do British politicians "stand" for office, while we here in America "run" for office?? Do American pols want it more?? Or, do British pols just like to feign indifference??

  12. Why does your shirt and sweater sag to your right? It makes you look silly and stupid. Will you please fix that?? It really takes away from your credibility.

  13. Interesting. This fellow talks about Northern Ireland as if it is a separate country. Isn't Northern Ireland part of UK?? This sounds like US talking about internal trade. We don't say California has a deficit or surplus trade with the US. California is part of the US. Does UK intend on expelling Northern Ireland??? I wonder...

  14. Actually, Russia will exhaust itself long before it will be fully defeated on the battlefield. The sanctions are seeing to that.

  15. Maybe the French have not thought this through. D'ya think??
