From the same Orange Turd Putin Boot Licker whom deferred military service in Vietnam several times.

Here's a reminder.

 

Donald Trump has sparked fresh outrage in the UK after saying Nato troops stayed "a little off the front lines" during the war in Afghanistan.

Labour MP Emily Thornberry, the chair of the foreign affairs committee, called it an "absolute insult" to the 457 British service personnel killed in the conflict, while Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said: "How dare he question their sacrifice?"

Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty, who served in Afghanistan, said it was "sad to see our nation's sacrifice, and that of our Nato partners, held so cheaply".

The UK was among several allies to join the US in Afghanistan from 2001, after it invoked Nato's collective security clause following the 9/11 terror attacks.

We might as well.

Thames Water serves the area surrounding the river Thames from Kent, through London, Thames Valley to Wiltshire in the West and areas North and South of this line.

They produce 2.5Giga Litres (2,500,000,000) of drinking water per day.

They are probably the worst of the privatised water companies with unresolved supply problems, illegal sewage discharges and incurring huge debt in paying shareholder dividends.

Not in Scotland. This explains the situation with a privatised water company.

I bought a new dishwasher and that wants to be connected to the internet "to let me know when it's finished".

Leave your mobile phone at home as it knows when you're driving, speed, acceleration, routes, times. Then you have the CCTV on the roads tracking your every move with your licence plate and facial recognition.

And when you get home turn off the smart TV, smart fridge, smart dishwasher, doorbell cameras, Alexa's, Google's. These devices aren't for our convenience primarily; they're built to collect our valuable data about our living habits.

Digitally connected electricity, gas and water meters all monitor our usage thus working out our lifestyle patterns and habits. Even smart lightbulbs have the capacity to snoop on our private lives.

From the moment we wake up to turning off the light these connected devices quietly gather data about us innocuously... even when we sleep (phones monitoring breathing sounds).

Or rather "Canadian man helps to discover major security flaws in US airline industry".

 

Listen to Donald Trump and you would think Moscow and Beijing were lying in wait off the coast of Greenland, ready to pounce to boost their power in the Arctic.

"There are Russian destroyers, there are Chinese destroyers and, bigger, there are Russian submarines all over the place," President Trump said recently.

That is why, according to America's president, US control of Greenland is essential.

So how do you think Moscow has reacted to its alleged plot being uncovered and potentially thwarted by a US takeover of Greenland?

The Russians can't be pleased. Right?

Wrong.

This man's stupidity has no boundaries.

"Donald Trump, who says on Truth Social that the US has subsidised Denmark and the European Union for many years by not charging them tariffs.”

 

Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on "all or any goods" exported to the US from 1 February

In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until "such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland"

The very same person who said weapons of mass destruction were present in Iraq. Look up Dr Anthony Kelly.

It's like bribing and appeasing a toddler at the same time.

 

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado told reporters she presented the medal for her Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald Trump at a private White House meeting on Thursday, but did not say if he accepted it.

"I think today is a historic day for us Venezuelans," she said after the meeting with Trump, the first time the two have met in-person.

One would almost think that Russia and the USA are working together in a coordinated assault.

Since 2008 the banks themselves have had to prove they are fiscally responsible which I very doubt they are.

 

At Trentham Academy, a large secondary school in Stoke-on-Trent, the swimming pool is barricaded with danger signs, while the heating system has remained broken during recent mock exams.

"It was hard to concentrate," student Esme says. "I couldn't stop myself from shivering while I was trying to breathe and to calm myself down while I was trying to do the exam."

This is one of 88 schools in the area that were maintained as part of a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract, signed by the city council 25 years ago.

 

High Street shops, pharmacies and music venues have called on Rachel Reeves to axe the looming increases to business rates for them as well as pubs.

The government is expected to announce a climbdown on the increases to business rates bills faced by pubs in England in the coming days.

 

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has said there will be no more wars after Ukraine if Russia is treated with respect - and claims that Moscow is planning to attack European countries are "nonsense".

The winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize is Venezuelan politician Maria Corina Machado

The award goes to the person or organisation that's done the most "for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses"

US President Donald Trump had led a public campaign to win the award, but nominations closed in January - at the start of his second term in office

 

Hamas has responded to the US ceasefire proposals by accepting them in part but seeking further negotiations on a number of key points.

 

Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday after his show was suspended following comments he made about the death of Charlie Kirk, Disney has said in a statement released in the last few moments.

"Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country," the statement says.

"It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday."
