I'm an 'anyone but Clinton' supporter

I couldn't stand my local Labour MP, right up Blair's backside he was, so, a couple of elections ago  I voted Lib Dem and....blow me down a wealthy Tory landowner got in. Won't be doing that again.

On NATO, this popped up on Twitter.



Do you think it's unreasonable for NATO to station troops in allied countries (at their request) to counter the Russian buildup?
  No, and I get that they're just tripwire forces. However the question remains as to just what action would be taken if there were any murky military encounters.  Wonder what the KGB has on Farage btw. The Brexit part of their destabilisation strategy appears to be progressing nicely.

When NATO or the West do it, Phil, it's called 'imperialism'.
When Putin gets invited into Syria by Assad, it's 'keeping the peace'.

Also, has Bloomberg been branded fake news by Trump yet or not? Think

It's like a Who's Who of the biggest demagogues on the planet. I feel like I've entered an alternative universe, one felt unthinkable only a few years ago.

Yep, all we need is a photo-op with FatBoy Kim to break the boggle barrier.

Yeh pretty much.

My only hope is that progressive-minded people find a way to bind together and kick-back.

  I can hear your snorts of derision already, but that's exactly whats driving politics in Scotland at the moment.

I'll grant that it is more benign than forces driving Brexit and Trump.

Is it though? I'm not completely convinced by that. It definitely has a whiff of Brexit about it.

Edit: though largely without the same racist overtones.
