Mrs Trump is as bad as him

That’s because he essentially bought her.

These warmongers all have wife's. Are they unable to have any influence on them at all? I could not live with myself, if I was married to any of these Men.

Yup - silly women should be stopping their husbands (sarcasm!).

You know that adults make their own decisions, right? The trope of the nagging wife is rather old now

Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh (wife of Iran's last Supreme Leader) might or might not have shared all of his political and philosophical views and goals. She might or might not have wanted to leave. But whatever she wanted, it's too late now since was assassinated in the same US-Israeli airstrike that killed her husband. It just took her an extra 48 hours to die.

Melania T is as bad as him because she stays, it’s that simple, ‘you are judged by the company you keep’

I'm not sure that's necessarily the case. There's no evidence to prove that she's just as bad. The mind just simply boggles as to how she can possibly remain married to the big orange wotsit.

Not in any of the many many countries where women are viewed as second class and lesser, no.

Men. We give them their lives. In return all they seem to want to be is big poo-flinging monkeys.

Big poo-flinging monkeys! 🤣🤣🤣 What an absolutely brilliant description of these awful world leaders.

Are you for real? Do you have any idea how oppressive to women a lot of these regimes are? You think they have a voice and any sway in what these men are doing?

Human kind has been bashing eachother's brains in since pre-history. There will never be an end to war or killing. Another tribe will always have something we need or want. We are part of the animal kingdom and this is how it works.

Goldfsh · 05/03/2026 15:59

No YANBU. What I find depressing at the moment is that it is the US just bombing the shit BECAUSE IT CAN. It genuinely feels like that. Maybe it is driven by religious/end times Christian fundamentalism. But it makes me despair of humanity. We are awful and a plague upon the planet.

There have been wars throughout human history. Of course, we don't like them but, after all these thousands of years, we do need to accept that they are completely normal.

MoodyMargaret11 · 05/03/2026 15:51

I hate it too. Incomprehensible and senseless, with no sight of change. There'll always be new tyrants and terrorists swallowing up entire countries and governments. I wish we didn't have to worry about wars or violence, and instead could put all our focus and resources on helping each other and creating a beautiful planet.

I agree it’s very depressing
all these war and power hungry men

and various women in history have also been war focused

and humanity's seeming inability to live in peace

it seems part of our dna is trying to control others then when that fails its war etc

I read only the headlines - I cannot absorb the horror of al, that is going on - and yes it is heartbreaking.

Nothing changes: greed, misogyny, war-mongering, inhumanity, religious bigotry - I fear for my GC.

I try and concentrate on the wonderful view from my window of the rolling Welsh hills in order to inject some sanity and peace into my life.

If you can stop watching the news..

pocketpairs · 05/03/2026 13:35

Sadly the human species has an affinity for evil. History is littered with atrocity after atrocity (mongal empire, crusades, slave trade, Cambodian killing fields, king Leopards empire in Congo, Rwanda, srebrenica, etc, etc). All in the name of greed and power. It'll continue until we as a species cease to exist.

There have always been wars -apart from the obvious , the Spanish civil war, the Korean War, the Biafran. Ongoing African wars.
Sadly Britain decided to put money into social care and not the army so when nutters decide to bomb somewhere we can only sit on the sidelines clutching our pearls, when with arms and army we might have had a stabling influence or any influence.

Britain decided to put money into rich men’s pockets

It’s not new it’s just easier to find out, there have been brutal wars and conflicts forever. My baby aunt died when my family were escaping the Japanese and suffered under communism in mainland China. DH Grandfather was scarred for life having landed on the beaches at D Day. I know DH ancestors were Huguenots that fled France when they were persecuted.

Apart from the occasional Angela Merkel and Margaret Thatchers of this world men have run the world forever.

Many of the regimes with issues are run by misogynistic men who believe woman’s place is shackled to the kitchen sink and certainly won’t listen to them.
