Hostile states will 'drive' migrants to UK and destabilise the West, warns Sunak.

Well, given that Sunak is running the government which is politically and economically destabilizing the UK for the last dozen years or so, there is a certain irony in his statement ... but I guess this is what crooks tend to do. They commit the crimes and than they accuse others of planning to do what they already did. Same as Trump.

Not really. Clearly - if there are any issues, Putin will use P?ison. Only question will be, whether he replaces the wildcard with "o" or with "r".

Oh dear, hard to believe how much Putin managed to weaken his once proud country. During WW II Russian soldiers kept fighting with nothing but some garlic in one pocket, some sugar cubes in the other pocket and a package of Mahorca.

These days it sounds like the Russian weaklings are already complaining when the egg, banana and heating supply for their luxury appartments is interrupted. No surprise they can't even beat a much smaller country like Ukraine into submission.

Heard they lost some expensive planes as well ...

Clearly he must be frustrated that his farts don't manage anymore to get all the Western headlines. Too many competitors these days for the position of most crazy autocrat.

Personally I'd be more concerned that the situation in the near East explodes before the dear leader commits suicide, but you never know.

And while the US enjoy this legal circus against the most corrupt president they ever had, Ukraine is running out of ammunition, given that Donalds Republicans try to block any further Ukraine support - and they well might succeeed in helping Putin to win the war.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/deal-on-wartime-ukraine-aid-and-border-security-stalls-in-congress-as-time-runs-short

Clearly - Trump wants Putin to win in his attack against the Ukraine - this would make Biden look bad. Putins investment into Trump is for him the gift which keeps giving.

Yes not sure why trump does not dump putin and get the europeans to buy arms from the US and pump the US defence stocks...

Get europe to lend money to ukraine and make ukraine buy the arms from the US... else all support stops...

 Trump did after all not stop arms from going to ukraine while he was in office...

Trump a Dump may not make it to the race anyway... those rulings are not going his way.

I guess its an amazing spectacle to see the GOP extremists taking down US dominance and with them the Western block and handing this leadership over to crooks like Putin and Xi.

However, it would be more fun to watch if it didn't undermine as well our livelyhoods and freedoms, but at least we can't complain that Trump and Co didn't give us a spectacle before destroying the Western block.

Anyway - I am sure Trumps friends Putin and Xi do love the spectacle ... their investment into Trump is the gift which keeps giving ...

Amazing - the easiest indication to determine who run out of arguments in a discussion is to check who is shouting and jumping around.

Anyway - they say anybody is good for something, and this woman well might be on a pathway towards a career in comedy. On the other hand - she well might have the qualities to become a satisfying Trump spokesperson either. Nothing worthwhile to say, but very loud in doing so.

Interesting presentation ... though China running out of resources and power well might make the current times still more dangerous. Bad enough to deal with a Russian empire going down in in its death struggle. Do we need another one going down at the same time?

I guess in the end, more people did think the migrants were eating the cats and dogs. Plenty of video evidence out there to prove Trump correct.

At the end of the day, Trump won. Thankfully, because 4 years of Harris the fraud, would have been very embarassing.

Actually - he said Americans don't need to vote anymore after electing him, didn't he? Not sure, whether even Putin or the crook in Belarus would go that far (though they obviously make sure that their opponents have no chance), but it quite might fit to what the dear leader in North Korea (and Trumps buddy) might say ...

Yes exactly the 1930's!

holidaying in the BOP have meet many people from other country's..

Big tourism coming back after covid and some americans say they moved here 10 years ago and split their time.

They like elon and say time will tell if hes truly evil...

well they dont seem to read his crazy posts...

its the idea of breaking up the US government services...

not the man himself....

even a young english economist thought elon was great...

he has his followers who dont read much into his posts but more into his actions such as electric car and space ships...

also these people though NZ was great place they are staying for as long as they can... that two weekends of US, Canadian, English on the beaches of the BOP...

also other tourists from european getting away from northern winters including young snow boarders cases sunny beaches...

NZ is a place they want to visit...

maybe NZ need to really open up ttourism and put all those local trouble makers on white island...

Well - Dump well might help to make Europe really great - in a similar way Putler helped to make NATO stronger and larger!

Not too far from Canada across Greenland (controlled by a EU member) to get to European Iceland or Norway (Spitsbergen). So - they are already neighbors anyway and hardly any of the European countries is controlled by a minds as sick as the one controlling the US.  Sounds like a win-win for both Canada and Europe - and leave the US to play in one sandpit with Putin (hey, as we know, from Alaska they can see already the Russian coast). Neighbors just being nice to each other.

I note as well that Europe signed some months ago a free trade agreement with South America. Good.

Good speech? Plans? - He is going to do to the US what he did with the six companies he bankrupted before.

Trump Taj Mahal (1991), Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (1992), Plaza Hotel (1992), Trump Castle Hotel and Casino (1992), Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (2004), and Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009).

Oh uh - Dumpie annoyed that his master Putin demands a replacement of the Ukrainian government with something more paplatable for Russia before they start negotiating with them? That's funny - since when do puppets develop their own will?

But hey - just to pretend to be independant he could take up the proposal, praise it and request that this plan is implemented for both Ukraine AND Russia. Put Russia under UN control and allow them to have free elections, this would be something to look forward to, wouldn't it?
