Behold Donald Corleone, the US president who behaves like a mafia boss

But without the principles. Of course, one hesitates to make the comparison, not least because Donald Trump would like it. And because the Godfather is an archetype of strength and macho glamour while Trump is weak, constantly handing gifts to America’s enemies and getting nothing in return. But when the world is changing so fast – when a nation that has been a friend for more than a century turns into a foe in a matter of weeks – it helps to have a guide. My colleague Luke Harding clarified the nature of Vladimir Putin’s Russia when he branded it the Mafia State. Now we need to attach the same label to the US under Putin’s most devoted admirer.

not fought a war in 30 or 40 years”?

These are despicable people, lacking even the morality of the hoodlum – and now they run the country we have regarded as our closest friend since the Edwardian age. Given all that, of course British politics should be contemplating a radical new direction, whether that means an economy rewired for rearmament or a rapprochement with the European Union, given that the world of the Brexit vote of 2016 has vanished and to stand apart from our nearest neighbours is now not only stupid but dangerous. When the planet’s most powerful country has become a mafia state, you do whatever it takes.

IMO most Brits now realise leaving the EU was a mistake.

 

Nothing wrong with mistakes, as long as one learns from them.

 

Trump obviously doesn't, he lost the trade war in his first Presidency, and is now repeating history.

I'd have said after Vance tore the European parliament a new one, his most fitting ACDC song would be Big Balls.

Nancys would be - Have a drink on me

Bidens is Night Prowler

Mrs Obama - She's got balls

Adam Schiff - Squealer

The democrats - Meltdown

Musk - Satellite blues

Fauci - Inject the Venom

Zelensky - Shot down in flames

 

Almost as if AC/DC foresaw the tragedy the democrats led the world into.
