This will only increase Trumps poll numbers. We don't give a ratz azz what the UK thinks.
Cool, and we don't care what you think either. You have your looneyracist president and we'll live our gun free lives perfectly fine! Thank you very much.
I won't really comment, since this is to be expected from Biff T. Erm, I mean Donald T.
But did someone here seriously say that Argentina's a third world country? LOL. Go somewhere where people regularly ride on the roof of trains, you see kids with machine guns, where you have to take measures to filter water and make it potable.
Then come back and say again that Argentina's a third world country.
If he gets elected, we'll be in sorry shape. He has been rejected by UK and Israel, our strongest allies, and we haven't even held the first primaries yet. The rest of the world has made clear they do not approve Trump.
Right ... and you would have me believe they approve of the current WH moslem?
The U.K. Survived Hitler, I think they will not be intimidated by Trump.
The British empire did not survive Hitler. WW2 bankrupted it.
If they do "ban" Trump, which is unlikely, and he wins the Presidency, which is also not very likely, they will find themselves in a very difficult political situation.
Somehow I think that this "ban" really originated from here, and not necessarily from the Demicratic camp.
The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese was the fault of the British?
We fought Japan AND Germany in WW II, not just Japan.
Britain and France had many opportunities to crush Hitler, and didn't do so.
First, Hitler marched into the Rhineland without firing a shot, and took it over from the French. Next, he marched into Austria. Next, he signed an agreement with British PM Neville Chamberlain promising no more aggression. And immediately thereafter he marched into the Sudetenland and then took the rest of Czechoslovakia.
The Soviets and Czechs in the meantime had lobbied the French and the British join them in doing something to stop Hitler. They got nowhere. So the Soviets decided to buy time by allying themselves with Germany -- the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Then Hitler attacked the western half of Poland, while the Soviets attacked the eastern half and marched into the Baltic states.
By the time Britain got serious, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark and Norway were taken over by Germany (with the Germans occupying northern France and setting up a puppet government in the south.) With the Luftwaffe launching attacks on London to pave the way for an invasion of England, America finally stepped in. Without America and the Soviets, Hitler would have won.
As for Japan, remember Japanese businessmen sporting British bowler hats? They saw British imperialism and the powerful British navy as a model to emulate. And they did so by setting up their own empire -- in Manchuria, the east Indies, the Korean Peninsula, the Philippines and Indochina -- chasing out the British, French, Dutch and Americans.
Japanese aggression started in 1932. And Britain and France did nothing about it. America again had to come in and save the day.

It is a Third World country. A nice one, but with plenty of instability in its past. Other Latin Americans describe Argentinians as guys wearing tuxedos who don't have a penny in their pockets.

Well actually Germany declared war on the United States BEFORE the United States declared war on Germany in WWII.
Yes, they did.
