As I said before. Idiots exists all over the world. But in most countries people don't vote for those idiots to become their leader.

Over 70 million Americans voted for Trump, and they can't really say he was hiding his character. I blame them all. 

ME too!

And elections at war time don't make much sense, ask Churchill.

Perhaps you should ask Lloyd George about that.

Didn't Churchill lead a coalition government during the war, so it included the opposition?

Not really it's sad then many things are sad 6 million have died in the Congo in the biggest genocide since WW2 and no one really cares about that. I'm a Brit on an island with nukes. I would prefer if we stopped pretenidng we rule the world any more and looked after ourselves. Switzerland has done well by staying out of wars we could do the same. Let the water find it's own level in the slav lands far away, what will be will be.

The west gets all the Congolese minerals that child labour digs out, so why care about it? ( sarcasm alert ). If China looked like getting them, expect it to become of interest suddenly. When it's only Africans dying, the west never has cared in the past ( or the present- just look at Sudan- another conflict over resources and a catastrophe of death and displacement that dwarves Ukraine- but ignored by western leaders )- I expect that to continue.

The west wants Ukraine minerals, and don't want to have to buy it off Russia- need I say more?
