Long ramble:
I have been mulling if I should comment on President Trump's inane comments about NATO involvement in Afghanistan. Although 35 years ago, during the US-led first Gulf War, I was lying, handcuffed & blindfolded - literally 'shoulder to shoulder' - with a US colleague on a concrete floor in an Iraqi interrogation bunker, I rather feel it should be the current generation who express any anger at the President's ludicrous, demonstrably false utterings. Which is why I earlier shared some posts from others.
But perhaps I will reflect like this - I watched Trump's press conference in the wake of the terrible tragedy when a US helicopter collided with a civilian airliner last January in disbelief. 64 people lost their lives but it seemed to be about him - his expertise, his knowledge, what he thought had happened. Much of what he said was incorrect.
So I realised back then that it was going to be pointless trying to analyse any upcoming word-salads. Everything is clearly about him; his expertise in every subject, his grasp of all situations. His need to say something, anything, to show he is the best, the cleverest, the smartest, the most knowledgeable kid on the block.
The pub-bore, the braggart, the know-it-all, pontificates on anything and everything in the hope of bolstering their own, clearly very low, self-esteem.
I wonder that, in the President's mind, that it doesn't matter if what he says is factually correct? I wonder if he knows, understands, even cares, what is true? He is saying some words, which in his mind, seems to suggest that he's important and people will admire him, laud him. The fact that everyone around him then applauds this character trait, thanking him for his 'leadership' at every turn, just amplifies his desire, his need to continue. He's got want he wants - in his mind - attention, praise, admiration.
So to sum up, trying to analyse Trump's ramblings is like trying to play chess with a pigeon. Somewhat interesting at first, but ultimately, truly pointless and rather frustrating.
To those he has hurt, insulted, vilified, I send you my deepest condolences for your loss, and gratitude for your service.

The Pistard team in Italy’s National Trophy 1000 has withdrawn from the final two rounds of the 2024 season to ensure the late Luca Salvadori is crowned champion.

An incredible gesture ❤️ https://t.co/rxDEzHWPtK

@JohnNicholRAF Will do. I just started Eject Eject which appears to be another good page turner.

@JohnNicholRAF I just finished reading Tornado down. You have probably heard this before, but your book with John Peters was brilliant, scary, inspiring, and at times a funny read. First book to make my eyes leak!
Thank you all for the service and for writing this book

To mark the #DemocraticConvention #DNC2024 #DNC we've had fun adapting @Eddy_Grant's gloriously hopeful international anti-apartheid anthem from 1988.

So here's 🎶 "Gimme Hope Kamala" - a parody twist about @KamalaHarris 💙 vs #DonaldTrump 🍊 that pulls no punches.

This is shocking. The IOC are a bloody disgrace. In effect legalising beating up females. This must stop!!!! What the hells the matter with them?

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

Shame on the @iocmedia for allowing women to be beaten up by men as a sport. RT if you agree #ShameOnTheIOC

As the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics has started, it’s only right to remember Mr. Bean’s brilliant performance at London 2012 😎👌 #OpeningCeremony #Olympics #Paris2024

[WeGotitBack 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸 @NotFarLeftAtAll]

I’m sorry … but no other country will ever do the opening of the Olympics as good as the British done in 2012

I’ve always loved John Oliver but I swear to God this is perfection 🔥🔥🔥👇👇👇👇🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

It is extraordinary that the USA gets treated to a dismantling of the Tory party orders of magnitude better than the tame efforts anyone dares attempt here.

(And no, it's not the swearing that makes the difference - it's the accuracy of the attacks.)
