@bobsal u1553115,
This is typical Hawkeye, he says something wrong because he either doesn't understand what's happening or because he's trying to show off. Then he tries to worm his way out of it by pretending he meant something else.
He said Kim Jong Un was in Switzerland when he wasn't, he said the plane crash in the Alps was an act of terrorism when it was the pilot acting on his own and he advised Britain to leave the EU because of the effect of Greece in the Eurozone. Britain is not in the Eurozone and it largely unaffected by Greece. They don't owe us money.
He never lets his profound ignorance get in the way of his pontificating.
I have asked him to give an example of something he got right, just one thing, anything. Still waiting.
