Just now at CPAC, Trump said on hostages "It's just as important to get a hostage back if they are dead, just as if they are still alive".
Another example of empathy. I've never heard anybody say anything like that before.
Good speech. Massive praise for Farage. Starmer must squirm hearing this speech, it's everything the British PM isn't but what most sensible people think.
Trump's statement is simply incorrect.
Live hostages obviously have priority. |

Fact: Donald Trump has been harsher on Ukraine, Taiwan, the UK, the EU, Canada, South Korea, and Mexico than he’s ever been on China, Russia, North Korea, or the vile Taliban.
I do believe if he says the exact opposite tomorrow re any world matter his devoted followers will applaud him.
He has the undying support that a cult leader like Sun Myung Moon or a dictator like Vladimir Putin (although a goodly section of Russians do like a "strong man" dictator) can only dream of.
It's really quite bizarre !
There is a lot of truth in this I agree with you.
There should be no slavish sucking up to Putin by Trump, this is not like 40 years ago when Mrs Thacher famously said that the soon to be Soviet leader was "a man we could do business with" and Reagan and Gorbachev met up on friendly terms soon after.
Soviet leaders kept dying frequently between late 1982 and early 1985, their deeply sombre funerals memorably on TV in short succession. I'm sure I remember watching them all before going off to school. They stick in the mind. They were all about Putin's age now. I wish this Russian leader would oblige soon too. Although people know Brezhnev, hardly anyone seems to remember Andropov and Chernenko nowadays do they, who came before Gorbachev.
I shook hands with Gorbechev once at the Russian embassy at a press event. Russians always thought I was Russian. His hand was large as was his body frame like so many older Russian leaders. Not that tall but very wide shoulders.
He was the last great Russian leader. Yeltsin was a disaster and handed over to Putin who was underestimated by everyone.
Putin's biography is well worth a read to see how he rose up the ranks from a fairly minor KGB agent. |
