Funny isn't it that everyone calls Trump a fool and Boris Johnson a fool....yet these people are so popular and are winning elections.   

Is it that popular support is often seen as the support of the 'masses' who are unthinking and uneducated people....even though that is no longer true?!
Never thought Johnson is a fool but he is a dangerous lying racist

I don't think Johnson's a fool in the same way Trump is (thick as shit), but they are both narcissistic liars who tell a significant proportion of the people what they want to hear, rather than the truth.

It seems that wind turbines (or as he calls them, 'windmills') have caught his attention sufficiently to expound on the subject - clearly his expertise know no bounds, as this quote shows.

Quote
But they’re manufactured tremendous if you’re into this, tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything.

“You talk about the carbon footprint, fumes are spewing into the air, right? Spewing. Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything, right?”

The extermination of this unpleasant sewer rat is likely to stir up more trouble in the region, even though he deserved to die.

Oil prices have risen due to increased tension in the Middle East since that man was killed.

That tweeted (or whatever it was) quote of Trump that you posted above is desperately, utterly, unbelievably stupid.  And even more sadly, it is not unbelievable that he said it.

Trump is ratcheting up the tension in the Middle East by making those threats.

It is being suggested that the US/Iranian crisis could assist Trump to win the upcoming presidential election. It is just possible he engineered the present situation with that in mind.

"just possible"? Seems obvious that he wants to show that he is "Making America Great Again".

If Iran inflicts further violence to "take revenge", I expect that would be fine with Trump and he can roll out the big guns. He could fabricate any excuse anyway.

I wonder if the Donald remembers what he has said in the past;he said Republicans beware, Obama was going to start a war with Iran in order to be re-elected and now he is threatening to do the same - presumably in order to be re-elected.

Do the American people really want more war and will UK be expected to support them if they do. It's worrying.

A take on the killing of Soleimani

I think Murray is overanalysing it. Pompeo was simply lying. At a later press conference, he claimed the imminent attacks were ones that had already happened.

Though others might see him as not appeasing and therefore more likely to stop war.

And yet the support for the U.S. action from Johnson today is based on it.

Some interesting numbers on Trump and other world leaders approval ratings around the world. Would like to see them for Johnson.

I have to agree with those that see trump as rather a brash personality and he certainly manages to brush a lot of peoples feathers the wrong way.

However I do also think he's one of those people that can only be fairly judged after some long term and not by how abrasive he is but by the results he manages to acquire.

I'm reserving my judgement, I don't know yet.

I hope he doesn't see this mailing of mine only I wouldn't want to worry him too much.
