Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but as a NATO member, isn't that what POTUS, i.e. America, is supposed to do? Isn't that what NATO is all about: mutual defence?

A commitment is a commitment. At least it is if you're an adult.

Is it just me, or does WWIII sound more likely now? We already have a graphic picture of just how badly the UK will be affected from Threads. Contrary to what I think Trump believes, just like that guy in By Dawn's Early Light, who was a very poor choice of President, no-one can win a nuclear war. No-one.

I agree. When Trump defunds, we may have to do the same as we may simply not have the funds.

Putin will take over Ukraine and then look for his next target. I also fear that he wants to take over more than the old USSR.

From what i've read Trumps idea to stop the war seems to be give part of Ukrainia to Russis in order for the remainder to be left alone. Even if he agrees to this, Putin will eventually want it all as well as other countries. Once he has a part of Ukrainia, places like Poland will feel and actually be threatened IMO.

If NATO then become involved we could then see an all out world war.

I’m pretty sure you know a jury verdict absolutely stands as having established the facts beyond reasonable doubt. We (and they) have an appeals court process if anyone thinks that system has gone wrong, but in the meantime we (and they) don’t treat a jury verdict as optional or suspicious as a matter of course.

Harrison changed her position and so many things again and again, closely linked to slow Joe. As said 4 years ago would not vote for Biden as Harrison was a heart beat away from president. She was an accident waiting to happen. Trump is not great but he has policies that chime with the great unwashed. Our bottom line was so much better under him. Not sure how good life will be in Europe.

Even the Jurors weren't told, and were even told they could make something up.

Well they did, he was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

I hear on the grape vine that the incomming president might pardon him

You heard wrongly - he has been convicted under NY state law. The president has no power to pardon state convictions.

What’s more, his sentencing hearing in front of Judge Merchan is coming up on 26 November and a jail term is possible. Fun times ahead.

An electorate certainly has! Let's hope the convicted rapist is put behind bars before he can cause any more trouble.

He’s not going to do jail time.

There was nothing bogus or flimsy in any of that.

Yes, that’s what all anti-Trumpists are focussing on right now in an effort to justify the call they got so badly wrong.

Biden wasn’t all sweetness and light either. Criminal charges may well be levelled at him before long as well, and by the way, have you forgotten about his unhealthy fascination with young girls - even his own daughter?

The American people voted for Trump because they preferred his policies, which they believe from experience will put money in their pockets, repatriate illegal immigrants and make America great again. That’s what they think is the priority, not all this woke nonsense. They are fed up to the back teeth with that, as are many, many Brits.

Incidentally, what did we learn from the Harris campaign? She was all teeth and cackles and wouldn’t have done anything differently from Biden.

And you are surprised by this result? I’m certainly not.

Except that neither Ukraine nor Taiwan are NATO members.

Or maybe they’re (I’m) just answering a simple technical point made by another forum member who doesn’t understand which of Trump’s court dealings are civil, and which are criminal?

I am pleased to agree with you for a change.

You’ve missed my point. The media got this badly wrong in their enthusiasm for the Democrats, and now as a face saver and rather than concentrate on Trump’s spectacular win against the odds, they cannot resist pointing out that he is a ‘convicted felon’.

We all knew that, so why repeat it now? Biden may be joining that popular club soon as well, by the way.

Don’t under-estimate the lengths Trump will go to in order to get out of that. He might even go so far as to grant New York independence!

That and it being a first offence , there would be so many appeals it would get tangled up for years and arguments that he wouldn’t be able to perform his duties as potus

Biden isn’t going anywhere near a courtroom. For a start he’d be ruled unfit to stand trial.
