Statistics of today, compare after Trump first year

@cicerone imposter,

The Queen is the head of state, and she's not said anything, as is expected of her.

Theresa May's response has been muted at best, she's being compared with Tony Blair coming back from Washington having "successfully" stopped the Iraq war.

MPs will debate whether US President Trump should be granted a UK state visit, as a petition against the idea nears 1.7 million signatures.

The debate, on 20 February, will also take in a second petition calling for the visit to go ahead, signed by more than 100,000 people.

Mr Trump has imposed a temporary US travel ban on people from seven mainly Muslim countries.

This prompted demonstrations across the UK on Monday.

And, on Tuesday, Home Secretary Amber Rudd called the ban "divisive", adding that so-called Islamic State could exploit it as a "propaganda opportunity".

@izzythepush,

I'm beginning to think that's what Trump et al actually want.

Authoritarian regimes need perpetual war, and another 9/11 would give him the opportunity to launch a Patriot Act mk2. Criticism of Trump becomes criticism of America.

I wonder how long until one is manufactured for us. It would do wonders for the nationalistic momentum.

Well there is Mexico and their blatant refusal to pay for the wall.

@RABEL222,

I was thinking of Mexico. It would have to be a country that was big enough to give us a fight but small enough that it wouldn't be too big a drain on the economy. Mexico is close (convenient) and there is already a hostile sentiment towards them in the US. Also, I doubt that a whole lot of other countries would come running to Mexico's aid and risk war with the USA. Of course we would have to make it look like Mexico started it.

What would we do with it if we won?

@roger,

The idea isn't to win, it's to have an ongoing conflict, a constant enemy. This is an excuse for authoritarian rule, maybe even martial law. The war uses up resources (Make America Work Again) and keeps the nationalists enthusiastic.

Aha! Good thing I'm not in charge of strategy.

Concentration camps for our own Latinos and their decedents?

@roger,

OK, hadn't thought of that. Too many Latinos to incarcerate. Scrap Mexico, we'll have to think of another target.

He just said that every nation in the world has been taking advantage of America so he's casting his net pretty wide. Not everyone can piss off China, Iran and Australia all in one day.

I'm thinking Nauru, it's pretty small, and the centre of a row between US and Oz about what to do with a load of refugees.

Trump thinks BIG. He's not gunna settle for mere countries, he's lookin for continents, like South America (and the rest of north america, of course).

@izzythepush,

That's it! Australia. It's big, so it will take time. And we won't have to put anyone into camps (at least not here).
