Correction, Jonathan Harmsworth or Viscount Rothermere. Actually, 4th Viscount Rothermere - I mean, we wouldn’t want to confuse him with his pro-Nazi ancestors now would we

America is just a banana republic at this point. More corrupt than Mugabe’s Zimbabwe. A sad decline that’s taken less than a year.

Presumably the idea being that the presence of US troops makes an attack less likely. Doubtful with a president that thinks his own war dead are “suckers and losers”

Any guarantee given by a felon and a serial proven liar isn’t worth the paper it may be written on. History will not forgive you if you force Ukraine to accept a “deal” they do not want. Do you want your name indelibly tied to Trump, given what we’re learning about him?

No need to guess, it’s in their annual report
Property, Plant & Equipment is worth approx $35bn + $12bn of inventory, making $47bn
# shares is approx 3.5 bn
So about $13 per share if sold at going rate, half this if in a fire sale

Influence out of all proportion to its size. The company Games Workshop generates more in revenue than the untrue UK fishing industry combined. Painting model elves is more lucrative than fishing!!

Except Trump is too fat to be able to get his club head up that high. He has the worst golf swing I’ve ever seen in someone that plays as regularly as he does.

Come to Europe, or Australia, or Canada, or any of a whole host of other places. We will gladly take your brightest and best to let them flourish where science is still respected. Americas loss is our gain.

Not just IT procurement, IMO this also applies to defence and infrastructure too. Decision makers too often bamboozled by shiny new things or a slick sales presentation.

Not exactly why I pay a quite expensive subscription, to give know-nothing numpty’s space and publicity. Nothing of value in his piece, everyone already knew the nonsense he was going to try and perpetrate.

He reportedly now has to wear a nappy now (diaper for our US friends), so has no use for toilets anymore, 24 carat or otherwise. Even Fox News puts a towel down on their white sofa when he’s on. Why would they need to do that?

Except the whole world isn’t moving to be protectionist. It’s moving to protect itself from the US. That’s a key difference. 75% of global GDP is non-US. Decoupling will hurt but it’s not necessarily existential if free trade rules continue outside of the US

You can’t measure intelligence by how much money someone has. Your bank balance is merely an indicator of luck or who your parents are
