Netanyahu and trump to meet mid feb i think. Watch illegal israeli settlements start building at fast pace. This will start more turmoil in Palestine.

I'm not so sure, Amazing. It may depend on relations at the time with his son in law.

I think the Queen is going to get the Duke of Edinburgh on the case. We all know what he is alleged to have organised for Diana. Trump couldn't be that difficult.

40% of Americans now want Trump impeached, up from 35% last week!

Just read this on Twitter:

As a Jew I never really understood the execution of Nazi Fascism until now. As an American I never really understood Watergate until now.

To be fair, Iran was under sanctions previously and has been disputing the interpretation of the deal and pushing it.
Not sure Obama would do anything much different. Except that he wouldn't tweet any threats or thoughts about it.

A close friend was apparently sitting in her Politics class when the (American) lecturer came in wearing a black arm band and announced 'We will now have 2 minutes silence for the death of American democracy.' The date was November 7, 1972.

She laughed.

There was always going to be sabre rattling, Lweji. This all goes a little further, I think?

cozietoesie · 02/02/2017 23:49

Poor Belgium. Have you ever noticed how they are constantly chosen as an example?

'Blah, Blah, Blah...........about the size of Belgium for example......'

You have to feel for them. Grin

Destinysdaughter · 02/02/2017 23:49

Haha Rory Bremner just did a brilliant Trump impersonation on This Week!

Lweji · 02/02/2017 23:50

Obama and the other four leaders wouldn't want to ruin the deal so fast, whereas Trump is happy to get rid of it.
But Iran isn't helping much either.

Still, it should never be a US unilateral decision. There are other signatories on the deal and it should have been a joint decision through proper channels.

This week is interesting, he was right about people who voted Brexit not wanting trump. I've know some adamant Brexit voters completely against trump. It's not one or the other, trump is bad for us all. It's interesting that our hatred of trump may help to reunite the country after BrexitShock
