Sometimes he just doesn't choose his words very well.....

@nudistsueaz I suppose you could frame saying something which is opposite to the truth as not choosing words carefully, or you could just characterise it as not telling the truth.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has sharply condemned U.S. President Donald Trump after remarks suggesting British and NATO troops avoided the front line in Afghanistan. Speaking from Downing Street, Starmer called the comments “insulting” and “appalling,” paying tribute to the 457 British service members who died fighting alongside U.S. forces after the September 11 attacks. "If I had misspoken in that way or said those words, I would certainly apologise," he said. The remarks have sparked anger across the UK, with Starmer stressing that British troops fought and bled on the front line for shared values, freedom, and alliance solidarity — warning that such statements risk wounding families, veterans, and the foundations of the transatlantic partnership.
My comments:
Demented Donnie had his chance to be a WAR HERO and what did HE DO?
He chickened out, broke the law by falsifying his official medical record, and DODGED THE DRAFT out of personal COWARDICE!

@KunsanVeteran Dodged the draft and has been cheating his nation ever since.

@SunshineGirl The only question is how much was bred into him vs how much resulted from his demented view of the world.
But, as a principle of logic, it doesn’t matter because: a difference that makes no difference is no difference.

He is insulting many western nations who stood by America in her hour of need, often disregarding the will of their electorates in order to fulfil their international obligations. Not least of all Denmark, who lost more soldiers per capita than any other NATO member.

I don't know of a Western nation, that Trump hasn't insulted. And a few others on top of that. Including the USA itself.
Trump has been rated by historians as the 43rd worst president out of 45 in USA history. And Trump refuses to even list the last four terms because of that on a government site. The first being Obama being ranked at 11th (real figure).
Any questions why he would exclude Obama? 🤣

@KunsanVeteran appreciated
Royrogers · 61-69, M
Bit like Starmer, comes all how dare trump say that then pushes a law through removing legal immunity for uk soldiers that have served and veterans can be prosecuted for doing thier duty while NI terrorists go fee
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@Royrogers That is your interpretation of the sutuation. There were genuine war criminals among the British special forces in Afghanistan who abused and murdered unarmed citizens. Some of their superiors showed deplorable leadership in convering up or not reporting their crimes. This created a human rights nightmare and is the context i which the current legislation has become necessary. In my opinion, blanket immunity from prosecution should be used very sparingly. Dividing people into "goodies" and "baddies" perpetuated The Troubles for far too long. The current peace process is based around truth and reconciliation.
Royrogers · 61-69, M
@SunshineGirl interesting use of the term reconciliation when known terrorists are walking free and those sent to maintain peace were shot at by terrorists among civilians
ArishMell · 70-79, M
He has now, sort of, tried to reverse his allegation; but he did not apologise, he did praise UK troops but not those of other NATO countries involved, and still finished with "...are second to none, except Americans".

He has even insulted American military
His grandfather fled Germany because he didn’t want to do his military service
It runs in the family

@sunsporter1649 Keep repeating yourself. I have no idea what you’re trying to say here.
He has repeatedly insulted American servicemen and war dead

@sunsporter1649 Especially for the intellectually challenged - is what I would add

Given it was the US's war to begin with. Afghanistan did not attack the USA. There is no evidence that any terrorists were based out of there. The whole war was a hoax and the US running away as it did leaving all their gear behind is even more unintelligible. Does the US have any competent military minds left or are they all as deluded as Trump appears to be.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@hippyjoe1955 Like destroying mushroom factories?
Alexander18 · 18-21, M
What can one expect of a US President who even insults American war heroes like John McCain.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Alexander18 Yeah McCain wasn't much of a war hero. Sorry to inform you.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@hippyjoe1955 He was seriously injured, imprisoned for nearly 6 years, and tortured in service of his country. That is exceptional by any standard in any era. Don't do Trump's work for him.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@SunshineGirl he willfully disobeyed orders and as a result was shot down.

Trump insulting someone? He knows no other way. It’s because of his small di—-hands.
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@trollslayer But he makes up for that with bone spurs.
