The ones with their "nose out of joint" will be the French, who lose a $90bn contract.

Excellent news.

AN ex-Pennsylvania politician launched a two-month "Making the Taliban Great Again” billboard campaign chiding President Joe Biden as a terrorist for his handling of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“I spoke to the leader of the Taliban today. We had a good conversation,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House, slightly inflating Mr. Baradar’s position.

“They’re looking to get this ended and we’re looking to get this ended,” Mr. Trump said later in the day. “The relationship is very good that I have with the mullah.”

I think we're always one President behind on these threads. :D
If I recall, the Trump thread was always generously well-provided for with "what about Hillary?" posts. I guess we can't let go of our feelings for the last President.

I’m really struggling to understand just WTF Biden’s foreign policy is. Latest bizarre notion sees U.S Sec. of State Blinken deleting a tweet saying "We stand with the people of Hong Kong"

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1922246.html

Quote:

A spokesman for the State Department said that the person who managed Mr Blinken’s Twitter account mistakenly sent it from his account when it was meant to come from a spokesperson.

"We fixed that error and tweeted from both accounts, speaking out about Hong Kong authorities’ disqualification of pro-democracy district councilors,” the spokesperson said, adding that suggestions that what it called an “administrative change” was caused by political concerns are “patently untrue.”

I thought these kind of headlines only happened under President Trump....

BREAKING: Top U.S. envoy to Haiti resigns over "inhumane" expulsions of migrants at border

Quote:

A top U.S. diplomat to Haiti tendered his resignation on Wednesday, citing the Biden administration's "inhumane" effort to expel hundreds of Haitian migrants to their home country, which is recovering from a deadly earthquake and plagued by political instability, widespread insecurity and crippling poverty.

That being said, I may have spoken too soon as lamb is not a popular meat in the US!

A good marketing campaign might help.

Lamb chops; Roast leg of lamb. They'd also need a Texas angle, New York should be easy - the Indian restaurants all serve lamb..

Yup and Clarkson's Farm is a good lamb promotion tool as well.
