I posted a Gallup poll. Polls are often just made up, but Gallup is one of the more trustworthy. Spence had to come back something, but it is meaningless.
Pointing to a speech of statement can always be skewed.

The fact is there is only one President that has had a negative rating after 1 month, let alone two.

Out of interest, where would I buy a nice refreshing can of Grans, Solo, ICA Cola, Faxe Kondi, Fritz, Zingi or Trocadero out of interest? Or grab a quick bite at Max, Big Bite, Peppes Pizza, Deli de Luca, Sibylla, Fafa’s or Joe and the Juice on my lunch break?

What should I do if absolutely everyone I wish to speak to uses Facebook, X, Instagram, Messenger or WhatsApp. Refuse to speak to them until they download “Threema”?

Sorry, I can’t watch that YouTube video of the new Albion Unlocked episode mate, would you mind uploading it to YLE Arena or RUV?

Okay team, I know our tech guys have spent ages setting up our working from home interface, making sure it complies with GDPR best practices, has backups and failsafes to ensure limited wasted hours due to technical issues, but today we’ll be hosting the team meeting via “Whaller”. What do you mean “what is Whaller?”

Like that, apart from Miele.

I've got a Miele hoover and it's shit.

EDIT: That's not strictly true. The hoover itself is fine on wood flooring. But it doesn't work on my carpets upstairs and when I complained about it they suggested I spend £90 on one of their Turbo Vacuum Heads. Gits.

On Newsnight last night, Nick Watt quoted a former member of the National Security Council saying they think MI6 are genuinely now worrying about a future where information gathered in Russia could be passed back to Moscow if shared with Washington. :nono:
MI6 should be worried about this. Members of Trump's Cabinet and US senators are openly tweeting they think USA should leave NATO, while Trump's team are knowingly complicit in cosying up to Russia for reasons best known to themselves.

It is untenable for Europe to simultaneously help to defend Ukraine without any military or intelligence aid from USA yet remain within the NATO when Trump is clearly in cahoots with Putin. It is unthinkable that NATO can operate in the same way now we have this New World Order.

Yet NATO is America's baby. The procedure for a member state leaving is as follows (source Wikipedia) :

Article 13 of the North Atlantic Treaty, is the article that member states use for informing other members or parties that it wishes to leave the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. It states the following:

After the Treaty has been in force for twenty years, any Party may cease to be a Party one year after its notice of denunciation has been given to the Government of the United States of America, which will inform the Governments of the other Parties of the deposit of each notice of denunciation.
This means that after 20 years since the signing of the treaty which was in 1949, thus 1969, any member state that wishes to leave just has to inform the United States that it wants to leave, and then after a year it formally leaves.

So you have to go through the USA if you want to leave, and it takes a year.

I maybe wrong about this, but it appears there is no rule if USA wants to leave. Presumably, they would inform the others of their intention to leave and another nation would take over as the depository state.

In the circumstances in which we find ourselves, it looks like for the USA to leave then NATO would have to be dissolved and a new organisation take its place.

His speech got a higher approval rating then Biden got last year for his speech.
You are a MAGA Trump lover. Can you explain exactly what you expect the US to become to make it the greatest ever country in history?

I really hope peace negotions work out. I still say Ukraine cant repel Russian troops for ever without foreign troops to help them on the ground and that will not happen.

Today's headline grabber, Trump wants to deport Ukrainian refugees.

Putin likes this.

I guess this was happening anyway, as part of the wider deportation programme - rather than yet another vindictive move by the orange tosser.

Trump to deport 240,000 Ukrainian refugees is very sad.
