If President Trump believes Ukraine started the war with Russia, then presumably he holds the USA responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor?

To judge by the recent news coverage, you would think that the lives of the Los Angeles fire victims warrant far, far more attention than those of the earthquake victims in Tibet.

Happy New 2025 everyone.
I have tried to be a good UK citizen but have lapsed into wickedness a few times, and now it is time to unburden myself and confess:
1. In 1979 I voted Conservative;
2. Between 2018-22 I owned a Tesla.
I'm sorry.
Never again.
