Penguins of course dont live in Greenland. Well done, White House.


There comes a point when you think that for some reason they must be deliberately appearing stupid. It's like some kind of parody of grown-up government but it really is the government of the US of A. Utterly surreal times.

Put aside any negative feelings you may harbour for Prince Harry (I've not a lot of time for him myself) & give him at least some credit for this:

In 2001, Nato invoked Article 5 for the first - and only - time in history. It meant that every allied nation was obliged to stand with the United States in Afghanistan, in pursuit of our shared security. Allies answered that call.

I served there. I made lifelong friends there. And I lost friends there. The United Kingdom alone had 457 service personnel killed.

Thousands of lives were changed forever. Mothers and fathers buried sons and daughters. Children were left without a parent. Families are left carrying the cost.

Those sacrifices deserve to be spoken about truthfully and with respect, as we all remain united and loyal to the defence of diplomacy and peace.


Just to summarise the Trump remarks in an interview with Fox News which provoked the latest backlash:

We've never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them.  They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan... and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.

The tosser also had the gall to say that he was "not sure" that the military alliance would be there for the US "if we ever needed them". 


You just couldn't make it up!  no


 No apology. No mention of other nations' troops. Still a total scumbag.
