    After another three years of this we will probably be plotting an invasion of the USA with the Chinese, Canadians and Mexicans.

    The irony of Cadet Bone Spurs accusing others of avoiding combat, I miss how normal things were under Biden.

    Can’t wait to hear Nige’ pipe up with how much he agrees with the Orange One

    Edit because of typo.

  3. He has the energy of someone who wants to leave a partner but doesn’t have the balls to confront the issue head on so keeps creating arguments in the hope they’ll have enough and leave. We all know he’s been anti-NATO since before he was elected, but I assume there’s enough people in the US system who have survived his purges that are still pro enough he can’t just come out and do it.

  4. So how come so many of them got killed?

    I wish he said that to the faces of the wives and children of the fallen soldiers.
    Not that he would have a problem with that, but I bet at least one of them would punch him in the face for it.
    And that would be my favourite video ever.

    Uncomfortable for Farage that his best mate Trump (who was already unpopular with the UK public) is showing what an obnoxious and crass piece of shit he really is.

    We need to organize a memorial to our fallen soldiers that have fought on America’s behalf in Afghanistan in Windsor. Trump can be invited to the unveiling with a visit to the King.

  7. Honestly, can we just ignore a racist orange pedo for like 24 hours. Just 100% ignore him, no stories, no comments, no interaction. He’d lose his shit.

  8. Wonder how this sits with the type of British patriot Trump fan who hangs flags from lampposts. Probably just refuse to confront it, I suppose.

    Trump doesn’t usually bother me. But he’s a complete and utter wank sock with this one. Cunt couldn’t spell military service.

    Instead of just calling it disappointing UK MPs who aren’t in his pocket should press the Americans on it. Trump always doubles down and he’ll lose a lot of sway with his followers over here if he starts talking shit about British Military fallen

  11. This alone shows how anyone who supports him is an idiotic scumbag.

    Yet this is probably #4295 of the stupidest things he’s done.

  12. Fine words from a family lineage of draft dodgers. His grandfather Frederick Trump (Friedrick Drumpf) arriving in the US in 1885 (working in brothels and saloons) and then returning to Bavaria in 1905 having made packet, who deported him and his family (German Citizenship stripped) for avoiding 2 years national service when he left in 1885 at age 16.

    Both Fred Trump (WW2) and Donald Trump (Vietnam) avoiding military service due to Bone Spurs. The latter, avoiding Vietnam draft. The former making a killing selling real estate to returning navy personnel instead.

    I wonder what mealy mouthed double speak bullshit Nige will come out with to justify this.

  14. And many Americans will lap this nonsense up. They genuinely believe that they were effectively alone in Afghanistan and Iraq anyway. Bullshit for the easily led home audience.

    We already knew this guy was a piece of shit so it changes very little.

    Stephen Kinnock’s response on BBC this morning was weak as fuck. We need the Prime Minister to make a strong and clear statement condemning the lies clearly. I doubt he will.

    Every morning for the last year, disappointment… I check to see if that vile bag of fat is still alive. So very disappointing…

  16. And still there are comments on FB supporting him. A lot of FB users saying that he didn’t mean the UK as he didn’t mention them in particular.

    This coming from bone spurs wannabee

    He needs too look at the rolls of fallen around europe in the last 50 years

  18. Big words coming from a man who’s main combat experience is fighting 12 yo girls while he removes their knickers.

  19. As someone who had to ask what went on at Pearl Harbor, it’s hard to tell whether he is just an imbecile or is choosing to deliberately insult people in the worst way. Neither is a good look.

    NATO troops have to avoid US troops on the battlefield because US soldiers in action are terrified and trigger happy.

    Leaving aside the fact that the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi Arabian, and that is who should have been invaded and occupied, I think most coalition casualties in Afghanistan were victims of US ‘friendly fire’.

    In the end, America just got bored and Trump betrayed US allies and local forces by gifting the country back to the Taliban…

  21. greenpowerman99 on

    Has Farage come out with some weasel words about this latest betrayal of UK forces by Trump? It’s only a matter of time…

  22. He’s a fucking clown.

    I’d have been quite happy avoiding the frontline in Helmand province in 2007, it would have made the next 19 years a lot easier, that’s for sure.

    He violently raped a 13 year old virgin. Why would expect him to tell the truth or have a moral compass?

  24. UK had proportionally more troops die in Afghanistan than the USA did. We were in Helmand.

    Friends left school at 16-18 years old and went on tours of Afghanistan.  They were all lucky, thankfully, and returned alive. Terrorists predictably attacked UK soil. 

    I usually ignore “what Trump said now” but this is deeply offensive. At least call the USA ambassador in for a dressing down.

    The best part is watching the people on The Right slowly but surely having stunningly deep realisations of how much of a catastrophic mistake they have made in supporting this extremely foolish orange lunatic.
