Stalin was having a bloody good try though.

The problem is that whilst the main issues we face are climate change and billionaires; it is still necessary to recognise that many immigrants have exploited their new host countries and we - in Western Europe at least - have been poor at weeding out the bad even when they’re not hiding.

If you look globally, then The West is well off, a just balance of wealth means that almost all of us will have to be poorer. Humans are typified by greed, it drives us. In order to avoid major conflict we need leaders who have morality as a guide, but we’re either too dumb or too greedy at a tribal level to rally behind these leaders.

The military enabled him by ignoring their oath to uphold the constitution and deploying against USA cities.

It’s a major problem, because you know the military support Trump instead of USA. Arguably USA died already.

I don’t know … they followed the obviously illegal orders to go to war without congressional approval. They betrayed their oath to the constitution and favored Trump instead. Getting stiffed by Trump, as everyone expects of Trump, seems hardly something we should care about. Trump called them suckers, they chose to turn their backs on USA and follow Trump. It is of course sad when anyone gets hurt, but being willing participants in an unlawful and unjust war that is only about moving the stock market to make Trump rich … when Trump has betrayed the constitution practically every day …

“He can’t be arsed to work, he’s just like me! I am so voting for him as PM!!”

Sadly, this sort of idiocy wins votes. Farage’s whole political career has been about avoiding doing any work, claiming excessive expense repayments, and pretending that it’s a political position.

Well, so long as the Secretary of War isn’t involved, then it’s probably not a war …

It’s the USAmerican way, apparently. Endorsed by the majority of voters.

I mean, add it to the large pile of constitutional violations the Trump regime have made. They need to be made to care. As the military kow-towed to them without even a pause, violating their sworn oath, there’s not much left but the thinnest of remnant of rule of law.
