Popular Post LosLobo Posted May 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, Hanaguma said: Yes, such a Russian asset that Putin waited until Biden was president to invade Ukraine. I guess Putin felt safe snapping up pieces of Ukraine with a democrat in power, as he did in 2014 as well. There was no hurry for Putin to invade Ukraine when Trump was POTUS and so he played the slow game. A lot of US policies under Trump had been 180 degrees from the past, possibly with the influence of Manafort, past advisor to Putin's henchman Viktor Yanukovych, ex Ukrainian President. Trump's pro Putin agenda was evident by him having : sided with Putin not the FBI at Helsinki, opposed Montenegro for joining NATO, opposed the EU, diluted assistance to Ukraine with his perfect phone call, pulled out of Syria leaving it to Russia, pulled out of Open Skies, the nuclear arms control treaty, didn't call out Russia for bounties on US servicemen, didn't call out Russia for various poisonings, planned a death blow to NATO by a total NATO withdrawal for his second term, et alia. But when it was clear that Trump had lost his grip on US policy and Biden started reversing it, there was no longer any point in waiting. So Putin began planning the next phase of his genocide of the Ukraine people, possibly slowed by COVID. Opinion | Why Didn’t Putin Invade Under Trump?

Mac Mickmanus Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 16 hours ago, Jingthing said: Not exactly. Trump's father was born in the U.S. His mother wasn't. His German grandfather also left less than honorably (to avoid taxes and the army which brings some context to chronic tax grifter and "Bone Spurs" Donald). It's not surprising people think as you do. Trump himself has lied about where his father was born (on brand). Donald has a reverse speech impediment , instead of stuttering and saying Gr gr gr gr Grandfather , he did the opposite and just said "Father" , instead of Grandfather and what he meant to say was that his Grandfather was born in Germany 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Yousaf said: "I would find it difficult, I have to say, to meet with him without raising the significance of concerns I have of the remarks that he's made in the past." Very diplomatic. Why would Trump want to meet Humza ? Trump is there on business and a holiday , he would have no reason to meet Humza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "reverse speech impediment", right, and you actually knew what his thoughts were and what he intended to say but couldn't because of this "reverse speech impediment".

He does this a lot -- when something is happening that makes him look bad he tries to upstage it to cause a distraction. That's show biz. There is no reason for this trip to be celebrated the way it is being done. Also, it's a way to publicize his wonderful, lovely businesses. fleeing the scene? I would speculate they are assessing various means for a quick escape from the US with a mind to minimize travel in international air space (where they can be intercepted) and get to a country friendly to him, like Putinland, as fast as possible. Polar routes look like his best plan, and if he's in Scotland when he's got a head start by already being across the Atlantic. If he begins to spend a lot of time in Scotland . . ..

No chance for jail time, just a monetary settlement. Interesting that the statute of limitations for both criminal AND civil trials has long since expired. Yet in 2022 New York passed a law that allowed people to file claims for otherwise too old claims. So here we are now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomper Higgot Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I watched the video of Trump arriving and waving from the top of the steps. Given repeated reports of low turn out, and Trump’s own claims regarding drawing a crowd, it’s surely past time for news reports to swing the camera around to show us who, if anyone, Trump is waving to.

He is not Scottish, even though he was born in Glasgow. His affiliations belong elsewhere. He is correct about there being no, or very few persons of colour in high ranking positions in Scotland. It was not a rant but simply a correct statement. However as he was born in Glasgow, he IS Scottish, in exactly the same way that Trump was born in the USA and NOT in Scotland, and therefore is a citizen of the USA.
