Last i checked you cant post on social media without fear of being locked up, in the uk

 

I'm afraid that you must have landed on one of those misinformation sites then. Your comment is incorrect.

 

A member of the UK public can post whatever they want on social media so long as what is posted does break any laws. 

 

That's how things work throughout the rest of Europe as well.

The were let in legally by the previous government, in a stable democracy you don't brutally undo everything the predecessor has done. 

 

The US has become become very unstable now, probably doomed.

Sending people back to their own homeland, where their people are the majority, is "brutal" - but not doing that, and thereby sentencing your own country and its people to destruction, is not "brutal"?

 

My criticism of Trump, is he refuses to do anything meaningful to send back the foreigners who flooded-in.  The overwhelming majority of those are kept in the country by employers who pay them, who are never prosecuted under existing felony law for employing illegal foreigners.   What he is doing - in his 1st term, and continuing now - is the policy he correctly ridiculed during his 2016 campaign speeches.  

 

This policy of non-enforcement is the primary reason wages have not kept pace with inflation, and 1/2 of the American people have lived "hand to mouth" during multiple administrations.  If the USA is "doomed," this is the primary cause - the 2nd cause being the non-stop deficit spending on wars.  This continues regardless of which uni-party functionary is "chosen" on the ballot, so there is no real "choice" in USA elections.

So, what did James Baker III mean, when he promised Gorby that NATO would not move "one inch" beyond a then-newly-reunited Germany?

 

The only reason a nation would fear being invaded by Russia, is if they were coup'd by the CIA (Nuland admitted $5-Billion spent on this - caught on-tape), began persecuting their ~1/3 ethnic-Russian population (shelling those who refused to bend the knee), and offered themselves up as a "minutes to Moscow" missile-base, after the USA withdrew from the intermediate-range missile treaty (INF).  Ukraine hit the trifecta.  Then, they violated the Minsk peace agreements, which followed.

 

Likewise, Mexico could "choose" to join a CCP military-alliance and host China's missiles, in theory, but I don't think that would go over very well in DC.

The burden of proof is the rest of the world to prove now. The US at this point of time is the only country with free elections until proven otherwise 

 

That would depend on how you define free elections.

 

You don't have to pay to vote? Yes, they're free.

 

One person, one vote and all get counted equally? Oh, not so free then after all.

It wasn't about that though. NATO KNEW full well that Russia's stratgegic defence  is hampered by the great European plain. As long as Russia controlled Ukraine it controlled virtually the whole entry point of the European plain. However, NATO encroaching ever more eastward actually meant Russia became impossible to defend due to its location on the European plain. So if a nation has to fear being invaded by Russia now, then because Russia is concerned about her own defense and security.

... where the "law" says you must NOT talk about obvious patterns of behavior, and the harm done as a result.  It's straight out of Orwell's 1984.

 

Granted, a "limited" version of similar is being attempted in the USA, currently - so we aren't far behind.  Once one "category" is protected, others will be added, until free-speech is dead.  But, per current court-rulings, the only "legal" limit on written-speech is making believable (vs joke / non-actionable) threats.

I'm afraid that once again you are the victim of being fed misinformation

 

Criticising the UK government is absolutely allowed. Indeed, one might sometimes think of it as a national sport.

 

If proof is needed, you could look at the websites for any of the following (amongst many others): Daily Telegraph, D. Mail, D. Express, GB News. These sites regularly criticise the UK government, often when there isn't actually anything to criticise. To the best of my knowledge, none of the journalists associated with these sites have been arrested for their criticism.

Yes there is a lot of talk about who or what is wrong or right.

A little bit of back ground.

A neural border zone, especially one the size of Ukraine, would seem to be a sensible compromise.  All the government of Ukraine needed to do, was respect the human-rights and cultures of the groups in Ukraine, and don't be a foreign-proxy - either for Russia or Euro/USA.

Although constitutions and electoral systems differ throughout Europe, broadly speaking it is governments who propose laws and parliament which pass them. This link explains the process in the UK:

 

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/legislative-process-taking-a-bill-through-parliament#:~:text=A bill is a proposed,Parliament can introduce a bill.

 

The government does not decide what is misinformation, the veracity of the statement will decide that. For example, @Hotsun stated that you cannot criticise the UK government. That is factually incorrect; it is misinformation to suggest that it is true.

 

If you have any evidence to support your contention that Keir Starmer was the 'toy boy' of Jimmy Saville, then I'm sure that I'm not alone in wishing to see it.

I completely agree, Russia needs the Ukraine as a buffer to safeguard entry to the European plain so it has a chance of self defense. We need to give Russia this small gift to assuage their justifiably irritated nerves.

removing all their graft & corruption through DOGE, they are being exposed for what they really are.

Is that why Trump pushed the Continuing-Resolution which continues funding for all that graft and corruption - attacked Thomas Massie for opposing it / threatened to "primary" him** - but does not criticize the Senate Rs who voted against removing that already-identified graft/corruption spending from the CR?

 

Trump is being his usual Big Disappointment, again.  But, all the "other party" (sic) has to do, is act even more crazy, and the good-cop/bad-cop tag-team keeps the Uniparty game alive.

 

** (For the 2nd time - 1st was the "CARES Act" which funded "drop box" voting, and began the destruction of the economy + wrecking the value of the dollar with massive deficit-spending.  All that, to "lock down" the country over an infection which all evidence to date at that time, and since, indicated was only dangerous to those who were very old and/or sick.)
