He was a major irritant when I lived there 15 years and had been for years before. Probably helped by the fact not much happens in NZ and he's always good for a story.

Nobody Interesting Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Farage interviewing tRump! OMFGG. and then some journalist says tRump would be great as he is 'a nutter' as so other leaders would be scared as they would not know what he will do. Yeh, cos nutters have a great track record of not causing huge problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, cos nutters have a great track record of not causing huge problems. One of my friends watched this and said you could see in Farage's face that he thought Trump was far too nutty and right-wing. I'm taking his word for it, but if so... wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that will change it is if the USA stops arming Israel. Other UN Resolutions that Israel are in breach of had US support.

Anyway, this is a signal from US. Previously they have vetoed any UN ceasefire votes...but now they have their own. Soon enough Israel will be isolated...but as NobodyInteresting says the main thing will be arms supplies, because then it starts to become existential for Israel (although they have plenty of their own arms which everyone seems to forget, big export market for them too).

steviewevie Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Anyway, as I keep saying..there needs to be an intervention...to preserve borders and rebuild Gaza and provide security. This can't carry on like this. Israeli leadership needs to change, as does Palestinian leadership...there needs to be a whole load of compromises that both sides won't like...and then go from there.
