If that is supposed to be WW2, you are wrong. They had a coalition government for the war.

Britain had an election during WW1, which Lloyd George won.

Didn't the US have an election during WW2?

No Truman VP took over when Roosevelt dies. There was not an UK election during the European war in WW11. The Japanese did not pose a threat to the homeland

Let's hope so, both sides of the political divide must be horrified at Trump's handling of everything trying to be a dictator.

I'm sure you're correct but have you noticed that nobody on the Republican side of the seemingly redundant US government is prepared to criticise any of Trump's actions.  Governance in the US over the last 5 or 6 weeks seems to have taken place by 'Executive Orders'. What is the role of congress these days?

Get out of here.........Republicans are running scared of Trump's retaliatory nature. Musk appears to have more power than Congress now.

Do you have any intelligence at all? Everyone who finds Trump's policies abhorent is a 'leftist' according to you but let's placate you OK?  All us 'leftists' on here find it incredible that Trump wants to normalise the relationship between the US and Putin's Russia.  This after decades of calling out (by both sides) Putin's actions..........incredible, the man is a pure lunatic.

You and Trump supporters appear to live in a parallel version of the 'real world'. That's both a laughable statement and one from someone who really has nothing factual to come back with.

Probably the fear of losing their job and what ever else Trump can throw at them, well, he is an accomplished liar, and on his way to becoming a dictator, like his other chums he envies.......:whistling:

In the geo political area, US and Europe are, or maybe were, in general aligned. Russia and China are on the other side. So yes, Russia was an opponent and is much weaker now than 3 years ago.

Well, the Soviet bloc and CCP…

Trump Outfoxes Europe


Today’s session took place during the countdown to Donald Trump’s address to Congress tonight. Rumor has it that he will announce the U.S. withdrawal from NATO.


If he does so, then his sense of theater timing will be proven to be extraordinary.  I say this because withdrawal from NATO, which we may assume was always in his plans, normally would raise rancorous debate on Capitol Hill. However, by a stroke of luck, the Europeans this past weekend, set the stage for such withdrawal by repeating the disastrous mistake of Volodymyr Zelensky during his meeting with Trump on Friday. I have in mind the capital crime of lèse majesté.   You cannot publicly go up against the explicitly stated will of the President of the United States and expect to survive politically.


This is precisely what the 19 European leaders who convened in London at the invitation of Keir Starmer did: they embraced Zelensky warmly, after he had been thrown out of White House; they called for a cease fire that entails European boots on the ground and American back-up support, which Trump very clearly said on Friday will not be forthcoming. They positioned themselves very clearly as the ‘war party’ when Trump has positioned himself as the campaigner for a durable peace here and now.


If Trump does call for withdrawal from NATO, I expect he will get enormous support from those who are incensed at the temerity of the Europeans going up against their President.


Another highlight of this interview is our discussion of Trump the Realist, Trump the Internationalist, even if and when he pulls out of NATO.

Anything to say about a certain country invading and occupying parts of Lebanon and Syria illegally, or is it only wrong when Russia does it?

If he pulls out of NATO that's all the Euro bases gone, which will be a good thing. NATO's reason to exist ended with the fall of the Soviet UNion. Euro nations should have grown some and kept their military at that strength, instead of pulling the funding and depending on the US to do the heavy lifting.

 

I suspect Trump will get around to some other countries that gave up a real military and depended on America's good will eg NZ.
