Born the year WWII ended. Lived through an era of optimism when you could wake up in the morning and be hopeful about the day.
Now saddened by the gratuitous acts of self harm inflicted upon future generations by the gross incompetence of our Politicians
Also Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Against stupidity we are defenceless. A stupid person will disregard facts, and react with anger when their opinions are challenged.
Worth reading the whole text.

Facts, truth, reality, evidence and international law are not required by Trump because he basis his opinions and decisions on his morality.
January 9, 2026 at 10:45 PM
You know when Vance speaks quickly, aggressively, threateningly and irrationally he knows he’s on the wrong side of the argument.
Read Bonhoeffer’s letters from Prison.
A stupid person will react with anger when their falsehoods are challenged.

He relies on his own morality and doesn’t need International Law.
God help us.

A day doesn’t pass when new reasons emerge from the USA and Russia confirming the imperative to begin the process of reversing the gratuitous act of self harm and apply for membership of the European Union.
The word of 2026 should be Breentry.

1984 and the history of 1930’s Europe should be required reading in all schools and beyond.

I’m surprised that he’s still alive.
In the heat of the moment I’m surprised that those who witnessed the gratuitous murder didn’t rip his head off.

I don’t have a problem with drug smugglers being arrested,tried and if guilty sentenced.
I do have a problem with state sponsored murder.
If you don’t have a problem with that then you can’t complain about the comparisons with Nazi Germany and Russia.
January 8, 2026 at 10:16 PM
The parallels with Nazi Germany are too terrifying to contemplate.
January 8, 2026 at 4:36 PM
The parallels between Hitlers unaccountable Black Shirts and the SS who committed heinous crimes without fear of consequence and Trumps ICE are too terrifying to contemplate.
But it’s happening every day.
Why would they moderate their crimes when Trump is happy to order extra judiciary murder.

Google Map of Greenland’s minerals, and you have your answer.
January 8, 2026 at 9:38 AM
Trump is a money grubbing, self serving, self aggrandising, convicted felon with no regard for anyone but himself.
Why would he not as a member of NATO agree with Greenland to establish appropriate NATO Bases to provide security to the Alliance.
No need to reply because we know the answer.

They are protected by the worst criminals in the land.
January 8, 2026 at 9:25 AM
Every piece of evidence supports that view.
Multiple videos and witness statements etc.
So what can you do when Trump and Noem are prepared to blatantly lie for all to see.
They will probably honour the murderer and give him a bonus.
America has become a rogue state.
January 8, 2026 at 9:20 AM
Thank you.
I was just listening to Trump claiming that he will always be there for NATO even if they won’t always be there for him.
Recent history, facts, truth, reality and evidence show the opposite.
I find it very sad.
January 8, 2026 at 8:56 AM
If you don’t understand the irony then I suggest you read Bonhoeffer’s letters from Prison, particularly the one where he discusses Stupidity.
January 8, 2026 at 8:38 AM
How dare Trump question NATO Remember 9/11 the World including Iran and Ukraine gave unconditional support to the USA In response.
Iran offered airbases in the action against Afghanistan and Iraq the rest of allies provided military support no matter how dubious.
No one asked for thanks or payment
January 8, 2026 at 12:32 AM
Don’t hold your breath waiting for a coherent response from Noem.
January 7, 2026 at 11:05 PM
He should be in the Tower awaiting his fate.
January 7, 2026 at 11:03 PM
Maybe he was thinking that the murderer was lucky not to have been ripped apart by those who witnessed the crime.
January 7, 2026 at 11:01 PM
State
Sponsored.
January 7, 2026 at 10:58 PM
State sponsored murder.
January 7, 2026 at 10:35 PM
It’s an awful thing to say but given the deceit of Trump you have to wonder if he cooked this up with Putin to deflect the idea that he’s a Putin puppet.
January 7, 2026 at 7:13 PM
Trump has exposed the truth that America does not and never has occupied the moral high ground or is the exemplar of Democracy and that delusion will never be forgotten.
