Whereas Theresa & Boris are doing what with Trump? Challenging him? Or going along blindly?
Not that JC is doing any appeasing, of course...

You also have to accept certainty of it happening. An awful lot of news outrage over an alleged attack today. Maybe it will be confirmed... but let's just go ahead and shed crocodile tears in advance.
Like the Salisbury attack... why wait for proof when you can just point fingers? Lies get halfway around the world before the truth gets its boots on.
Plus, again, incredible convenience that Russia should supposedly have done more bad stuff (through a proxy) just at a time when USA etc are looking for an excuse to get heavy.
If it was in fact Israel, will USA show as much wrath against them? Not likely, is it?

Nah, awfully cold in Moscow

Wrath for what? Beating them to it?

I don't doubt the shredder wasn't working at the time....

I don't doubt for one minute that Russia was complicit with the attack when it has likely shown the that it is willingness to do ANYTHING to get what it wants.

Israel's silence on the matter yesterday only fuels the speculation that they carried it out

Israel has form for this they will take anything out that they see as threat to them. did it with attacks on nuclear facilities in iraq and sevrel in syria over the years

I see tony Blair has advocated that we should consider military intervention on Syria

does he not realise that the mess the Middle Easy is in now Is a f******g direct result of his actions in Iraq?

and its a mess because of milliband and labour in 2013 as well. politicians are fuckwits they do things when it didnt need it then stood back when something needed to be fucking done

you can say what you want about iraq but in Kosovo he got right stopping a genocide of muslims there. and whose side were the russians on then the Serbs same with the Bosnians serbs when they were committing genocide there. since the last 70 years since the UN was formed every arsehole always seems to have the backing of Russia

It's odd, most lawyers would seize on the word "alleged" and say "steady on". Those who set off all guns blazing and ignore such concerns usually shoot themselves in the foot.

And for those keeping track of the number of Trumps' ex-staffers:

Quote:President Donald Trump "is grateful for Tom's commitment to the safety and security of our great country," White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said.

Alright, then.

Trump's wall doesn't look very solid does it?
