The fall of empire

Except Russia never managed to invade Ukraine in 3 days and it’s bleeding men and material every day for years now, I’d say there is more than the US to be fearful of!

Isolationist fortress America. Slow retreat and decline of the once powerful superpower that has lost its confidence in itself as the bastion of freedom, free trade and democracy for the world. Now it’s about protecting its dwindling power and influence at home and abroad.

And who caused that to happen? One Donald J Trump!!

Trouble is Trump’s word is not worth the paper it is written on.

Wholly ridiculous. Go back to a failed parliamentary process of using a private members bill to push through highly sensitive legislation that should have been a govt bill properly researched and consulted on. Govt failure. The Lords doing its job properly. @conservatives.bsky.social

Farmers going bankrupt, grocery prices gone up, dollar devalued, tariffs paid for by the US consumers, those allies?

I’m really not sure his first year thrilled allies. Which allied country or business appreciated getting stuck with tariffs?

You can’t ban teenagers from technology. You are not going to stop Call of Duty messaging and headset speaking for instance so if you look at Australia they have banned the worst offending social media platforms who have refused to regulate themselves

I understand the concern but if you look at Australia their ban was not to isolate under 16’s from technology or self organising but to ban the worst offending social media platforms. There is a difference

I think we should have greater regulation and banning ‘certain’ social media platforms from under 16 use is part of that. If you look at Australia youngsters are still able to self organise using technology

Comparing MySpace to X is like comparing WH Smith to a porn shop.

Marty it is so frustrating when you think addictive algorithmic led commercial social media platforms which pump disgusting content and provide a gateway for abusive people to reach our children and teenagers is a solution to that problem
