opinion The first episode of my new interview show is now live! I was joined by Harry Page to talk the state of the Tory Party, NATO, Afghanistan and Anglos in Space! Check it out!

opinion Laughable. The Europeans are fat and lazy and would have been embarrassed in Afghanistan if the Americans hadn't been there. The only thing their militaries are good at is running in after the Americans, exiting first and then grumbling about how the US did everything wrong.

opinion Because Trump NEVER tried to break NATO right?

opinion So NOW you care abt our allies but you didnt give a shit abt them for the last 5yrs..

opinion I have one doubt: why the hell us made a peace agreement with talibans? They are not an organisation or govt or anything. it might be the reason how talibans entered into Afghanistan without any fear of U.S.

opinion Please investigate for more than five minutes before practicing journalism. This is embarrassing.

opinion I watched parliament in England.They are anxious and pissed.This bigly damaged not only our allies but also whatever was left of the USA reputation around the world.Our enemies point to this botched adventure&disastrous withdrawal as total complete failure of USA. PropegandaFuel

opinion

opinion America is a joke.

opinion When 2020 and the virus hit, and more degradation of America in some eyes started, people in other countries mentioned the country was 'fragile' and not truly the model country to seek after as one thought. America needs to lead with heart and love. God Bless, John German
