I'm no fan of Donald Trump, but..

I'm no fan of Trump but imagine if Biden or Harris had won the 2024 election:

Maduro would still be destroying Venezuela

The Ayatollah would still be killing his own people in Iran

Iran would still have nuclear weapons

There would probably still be Israeli hostages in Gaza

India and Pakistan could be at war

As could Armenia and Azerbaijan; Rwanda and DRC; Egypt and Ethiopia; and Cambodia and Thailand

Russia would be in a much stronger position in Ukraine

Other NATO countries would be spending less on defence.

He's not very good domestically but that's an incredible record on foreign affairs. Let's face it: The world would be on fire if Biden or Harris had won. Trump is seen as a strong man around the world and, outside of the west, that's probably respected.

You must be joking.

cautiouslyOptimisticAgain · 01/03/2026 10:36

Fully agree with you about Venezuela and Iran. As much as I despise Trump, these are good things for the nationals of those countries and respective regions.

No, she has just swallowed the Whitehouse propaganda.

Mumsnet is rife with it these days.

I’m assuming you’re joking? Trump hasn’t brought peace to any region he has meddled with. Every day there are still reports of atrocities in Ukraine and Gaza let along the uncertainty in the world now due to the Iran situation. You think it’s right Jim threatening to take over Greenland and turn Canada into the 51st state?

🙄🥱

FaintingGoats · 01/03/2026 10:41

Sounds like you are a fan of Donald Trump, to be fair.

Branleuse · 01/03/2026 10:42

What a fucking stupid post.

LilyBunch25 · 01/03/2026 10:44

Yes, and Hitler restored economic stability to Germany.......but.......

i was actually reading on Reddit this morning how nothing has changed for the Venezuelan people yet, it’s just the same regime under someone new.

this was written by a Venezuelan national.

only 45% of political prisoners released and zero plans for a democratic election.

i guess you’ll say it’s early days, but there seems to be a sense of zero urgency to make any changes (other than access to oil of course), that has already started.

Which bits do you disagree with and why?

"India and Pakistan could be at war

No - I'm not 'joking'.

I just saw footage of Jews and Muslims celebrating together in London from last night and thought - could anyone else have brought that about?

And that made you think the world is now a safer place?

chequeredcushion · 01/03/2026 10:49

I agree with you. But the influx of orange man bad posters are about to descend.

Papayatropics · 01/03/2026 10:49

Agree @TheFilliesWillRiseAgain

Indianajet · 01/03/2026 10:50

I despair. That is all.

No, she has just swallowed the Whitehouse propaganda.

And you haven’t swallowed any other propaganda I suppose.

This is the stupidest thing I've seen this month. Iran had literally just agreed to not stockpiling enriches materials, the meditators have confirmed a deal was reached. There was absolutely no cause to bomb them.
In addition to that, they bombed a SCHOOL. They killed CHILDREN. They didn't bomb a factory or arms depo, they targeted CHILDREN.

DestinedToBeOutlived · 01/03/2026 10:52

The world would be on fire if Biden or Harris had won.

You don't think the world is on fire now?

For someone who's not a fan, you really do seem to be exhibiting a lot of fan behaviour.
