As an American yourself, you must become totally unconscious from laughter, then, when the least-informed non-Americans keep telling US what's going-on in our country.

Meeting and talking with them in person, I manage to contain myself. There are indeed better and worse informed people everywhere. I don't feel quite as ashamed on their behalf, though, as I do with my fellow Americans. We have every opportunity to become well-informed.

Look it up on the internet. They must have brought in special forces. I would like to hear more about this "out thinking them" approach. :roll:

I've know that Bobbys are unarmed for years.I don't need to see that online.Sure did see plenty of armed British cops on the news.
Do you think we will defeat them by stupidity? :lol: Hell,with thinking like that we've already lost the war.

Only special police forces are armed in the UK. There are some positioned permanently at various sensitive places around the country but otherwise something big needs to be going down for them to arrive somewhere. Met Police are slightly different as they are run separately.

I live very close to a special place of interest (AWE in Aldermaston) where police guard it with machine guns. As kids we cycled past giving them the finger and then claiming to other it had resulted in guns being pointed at us. :lol:

If only Pope Francis treated dictators with the disdain he showed for President Trump.

The pope just plain sucks, imo. I wouldn't have spent even 1 second of my time visiting that doofus.

I think it's amusing and fascinating watching the world leaders trying to stay serious when Donald Trump is making a speech. They understand how he is, how he's personality works and his lack of intelligence. That's why this is working so far, they know how to deal with him :mrgreen:

Trump's visit is good news for one person, at least. Boris Johnson will come across as lucid by comparison.

Didn't Trump was accusing Saudi Arabia of spreading terrorism by the way? Didn't his fan said that Trump would end US military intervention in foreign countries politic? And now he seem to prepare a war against Iran, with Saudi Arabia as a allies and joining them in their Sunni jihad against Shias while he should certainly not imply his country in such religious wars.


Trump has a lot of business dealings with Sunni Arab countries.
