    Sounds like he doesn’t want us involved, oh well what a shame. Good luck with the land invasion Don.

    “We had the UK say that we’ll send – this is three weeks ago – we’ll send our aircraft carriers, which aren’t the best aircraft carriers, by the way, they’re toys compared to what we have. But we’ll send our aircraft carrier when the war is over. I said, oh, that’s wonderful, thank you very much. Don’t bother, we don’t need it. We don’t need it, and we don’t need them.”

  3. Oh it’s back to “We don’t need them”

    Guess tomorrow is the insults for not sending them to the gulf.

    Guys like a baby throwing his aircraft carriers out of his pram.

    Imagine shitting on your allies aircraft carriers when they are one of the few countries in the world to even posess 1 or 2, and modern ones.

    Isn’t it ironic that the most ‘patriotic’ party are the ones who lay in bed with a manchild who constantly insults our country and armed forces.

    I have no idea why he’s lashing out at all his allies. He’s lost the plot. I’m not saying we have the best defenses in the world anymore, not for a long time, but the way he goes about co-operation with what are meant to be friendly nations is crazy.

    I missed the part in, The Art of the Deal, about insulting and ostracizing all your friends and allies before asking them for help. Then doubling down on insulting them when they refuse.

  8. Strange that the war was apparently ‘already over’ ‘three weeks ago’. I could’ve sworn it was still happening.

  9. At least our ships are named cool things like HMS Vengeance and HMS Dragon instead of USS Oprah Winfrey and whatnot.

    He reminds me of my 3 year old at bed times and I say no to tv and she starts shouting and throwing toys out of pram. Bit of shrug the shoulders from us before Trump comes crying again that we need to secure the straits instead of the US

    If he didn’t have so much power to actively wreck people’s lives this would be a lot funnier

    Of course. The guy who decided to impose tariffs on his allies.
    Then started a war without even consulting them.
    Then said the war was over and he didn’t need them.
    Then said they should come, after all, to do a job that the US Fleet is incapable of doing.

    All this after insulting those same allies who sent soldiers to die when the US was attacked, stating that they’d “stayed off the front lines”.

    And decided that he, who dodged military service with a completely fabricated disability, was in a position to label others as cowards.

    Now, why would anyone support someone like that?

    Their navy lost three F-18s during their conflict with the Houthis. One was not secured and slipped overboard; another fell into the sea while attempting to land after the arresting wire snapped; and a third they accidentally shot down.

    Their largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, is stationed near Crete and is receiving repairs following a “fire in a laundry facility.”

    People in glass houses etc

  14. I hope that the majority in America see how he’s genuinely destroying their country, however I’ve a feeling that they don’t.

    Their “soft power” will be dead for decades whilst sensible politicians try to re-build it.

    Countries will pull away from their manufacturing and golden handcuff sales tactics on military equipment.

    The general population will be so poor in real terms once his term is done, nothing he’s doing is putting money in their pockets.

    This is a “we don’t need them week” apparently. He’ll be asking for help again first thing Monday.

    I’m DEVASTATED. I don’t know how I or my fellow Brits will ever recover from such an insult 🙄

  17. ***Let’s not go down a similar path by voting Farage.*** He and his ilk costs us a grand a year due to Brexit and still shows his face!

    The wars already won.

    We don’t need you.

    Fuck your war dead, they hung back.

    Please help us.

    Your aircraft carriers are toys. <—-we are here

    Please help us.

    – Christ it must be exhausting dealing with this fucking idiot.

  19. Cool-Prior-5512 on

    Oh god, do we have to hear this senile old cunt ramble every fucking day?

    Come on, US citizens. I thought your 2nd amendment was meant to prevent this.

  20. Stop using diplomatic language. Stop pretending Trump is a normal leader, he is an insane despot and OUR leaders are letting us down by pretending he’s just doing things differently. He’s doing things differently because he has no idea what he’s doing, he’s surrounded by people who have no idea how to do their jobs, world leaders need to start treating America as the enemy until they stop doing enemy type stuff.

    They are literally letting Russia inform Iran in a war they are waging against Iran and everyone’s shrugging their shoulders as if it’s not f**king insane.

    At least our people are not going to die needlessly for this man’s inability to take responsibility and accountability for his crimes against young girls.

    I really hope the Americans who take the order to fight for this man as the troops order to the ground realize that’s who they’re dying for. Not their country. But to protect a PDF file from Taking accountability.

  22. Particular_Pickle465 on

    If our aircraft carriers are toys then he doesn’t need our help with the Iran war does he.

    He just sounds like a child. The Royal Navy may be smaller than it should be. But the individual ships are amongst the very best in the world. Anyone with even the slightest knowledge of global navies knows that.
