Maybe you should pay attention to the MSM, then at least you'd get your facts right

What idiots don’t realise is that as Vice-president, it’s not acceptable to speak about any country like that. So you can shove arguing about who he was talking about up your arse, it doesn’t matter, he’s just being a ****.

I did answer your question, go back and check. And yes, they hate him.

And yes, I’m in Las Vegas, and it’s really none of your business why. Does it really matter?

So you are asking us to believe that Ukrainians who have had to flee their country because of a Russian invasion hate the leader that has held off the advance that Putin believed would take three weeks?

Well I don't believe you.

Or maybe they've seen your posts on here and thought better of openly supporting him.

It's all going swimmingly so far - cosying up to Putin having failed to deliver on his promise to end the war in 24 hours, egg prices up with a member of his cabinet suggesting people buy chickens, stock market down, dollar down, global trade war just getting going, JD Vance insulting this country and it's armed forces - the convicted criminal is doing a fab job so far!

Cracking day getting 7.1kw from 8kw off the roof. Solar aside, home batteries are now VAT free. Those that can afford it should try and get one, half the lecky bills and help the grid out when things get tight. Flatten the demand curve

DRAX biomass is utterly bonkers, I see the subsidies are getting cut very soon. We can use the cash better for other things

I was looking at this solat + battery yesterday, there are also 3 year 0% loans available. Just had to remind myself not to look at the Power Wall options, I wouldn't want to be reminded of Musk for 15 years.

Out of curiosity, where in the US are you based?

Because as we've ascertained, where you live/have lived in US is likely to effect your views, so obviously it would be good to hear your various experiences of living in the US ???

I have GiveEnergy too. Last year I was mesmerised by the app, watching the kw going into the battery and the grid.

I don’t post often, and only commented on this thread because it seemed to generalise Americans in a way that didn’t feel fair. I definitely accept election results and don’t fall into the category of those who refuse to do so, as someone mentioned earlier.

My point about the small margin by which Trump won was simply to highlight that a huge part of the U.S. does not share those views. Despite us Brits generally being good at geography, I think people sometimes forget just how big the U.S. is. I live in Boston, (and other than New Hampshire which is a swing state) the closest red state is West Virginia which is 700 miles and a 10 hour drive away.

Boston itself is overwhelmingly liberal. In the last election, Kamala Harris won 76.3% of the vote here, compared to Donald Trump’s 20.2%, and that’s reflective of day-to-day conversations. MAGA signs exist, but they’re rare.

To illustrate, I was out for a walk when you posted and literally took photos of the first few houses I saw—every couple of houses have a Peace, Pride, or BLM flag. Had I walked a bit further, I would have seen an abundance of Stand with Ukraine flags as well. Boston is a liberal city, much like Brighton.

Like anywhere, it has its problems—healthcare, inequality, homelessness but people do take a stand. There are a lot of grassroots efforts, activism, and community-driven initiatives to push for change. And if you turn on the TV, you’ll see just how divided perspectives can be watching Fox News versus CNBC is like seeing two completely different countries.

I live in a blue-collar area, and the only negative response I’ve personally had was from an Irish-American (who had never visited Ireland) telling me I should “go back to the people who took away his mother’s land.”

Lastly, having served in the British Army and alongside the U.S. military in Afghanistan, I can confidently say that Vance’s remarks don’t reflect the views of American veterans. They are incredibly passionate about supporting and celebrating service members, and in my experience, they have always shown a deep appreciation for the sacrifices of the British military.
