The one that is successfully fighting the one that has attacked us.
We are not doing so.
Our disgraceful Prime Minister held a vote in order to split the Official Opposition, and a third of its MPs shamefully played along.
But nothing has come of that. Nothing was ever intended to come of it.
Meanwhile, Palmyra has been liberated.
By the people whom that same Prime Minister had previously wanted to bomb.
Backed by the power against which we are told that we have to retain Trident.
And backed by an organisation that Jeremy Corbyn is castigated for ever having met.
Even though David Cameron was that organisation's honoured guest later than Corbyn became the Leader of the Labour Party.
Not in a London committee room. In the Beqaa Valley that Hezbollah controls.
The rest of the time, though, Cameron is the obedient servant of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is the global centre of Islamist terrorism.
The Islamist terrorism from which Palmyra has been liberated.
Let us say loudly and proudly that Palymra has been liberated by our side in this war.

You'll be delighted to know Oliver Kamm agrees with you on Donald Trump-and is critiquing his rightwing isolationist anti-NATO foreign policy.

Donald Trump wants America to withdraw from the world. Thomas Wright considers Donald trump's foreign policy.

All the more reason for Americans to vote Trump.
The anti-NATO vote.
No one with Walid Phares as an advisor holds views remotely like that. The American Conservative has already called the presence of Phares "disqualifying", repeating its previous term for the foreign policy advisors of Ted Cruz. Its Editor has already voted for Bernie Sanders.
DeleteOliver Kamm is now being written by an electronic device, and it needs someone to change its batteries. Or just throw it in the bin.
The neocon ex-Marxists are after Trump because of his rightwing "isolationist" foreign policy.

""Donald Trump wants America to withdraw from the world.
A Trump administration would pose the greatest shock to international peace and stability since the 1930s. This is not because Mr. Trump would invade other countries but because he would unilaterally liquidate the liberal international order that presidents have built and defended since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
If the word “isolationist” has any meaning, he qualifies as one.
Mr. Trump has a coherent and consistent worldview that dates back almost 30 years when he spent $95,000 on a full-page advertisement in the New York Times to publish an open letter to the American people on U.S. foreign policy.
It was this worldview that he described to the Washington Post editorial board on Monday. It appears in virtually every interview and speech he has given about world affairs since the 1980s.
Simply put, Mr. Trump thinks America’s allies and partners are ripping it off and he wants out of America’s leadership role in the international order.
Over and over again, Mr. Trump has questioned why the Unites States. defends Japan, South Korea, Germany and other nations without being paid for it. Just this week, he promised to significantly diminish U.S. involvement in NATO and when asked if America “gained anything” from having bases in east Asia he replied “personally I don’t think so”.

The interventionist Left is after Trump now.
All the more reason he is the only game in town.
