    In this case he was correct,

    Don't agree with Trump, or US gunboat 'diplomacy' over the decades but it is pointless have weapons if those wielding them are perceived to be too weak to use them.

    On the other hand it could have just Trump being Trump and getting rid of someone he didn't perceive as being loyal to him personally.

    The thing is too it was the US Navy who removed him as he broke the chain of military command by "accidentally" leaking the document to the media.

    They take that **** extremely seriously, like the level of if he does that can he trusted to obey commands level. It's not something you get brought into a meeting with HR and given a warning over type of stuff.

    If it was during the Obama or Bush terms he would have got the exact same treatment.

    It was a ships Captain too, not an Admiral they don't sail ships they are higher up again.

    If Boris helped in any way to bring this on himself, it was through his apparently cavalier attitude to social distancing in the early days of the pandemic, saying he was going to keep shaking hands and that. Gave the impression he was convinced the UK PM couldn't get it and if he did it wouldn't be too bad.

    I see the same attitude from Trump, he’s a narcissist anyway, but I think he really does believe he can’t get this virus. He said so much last night when he was like I’m not going to wear the mask,

    Fake news, CNN. Fakers.

    Is this a comedy sketch.

    It's a perfectly reasonable question to ask why he a non doctor or medical professional is saying Hydroxychloroquine is a solution to the problem.

    Agreed, I will say that the US are under more spotlight as the world superpower and the UK get a lot of coverage because we're their neighbours. I bet you the very same people casting aspersions don't know the Italian or Spanish president's names.

    I'm no fan of Trump but honestly this is something to be dealt with at state level first and foremost, I don't think every state has done all they can and that Trump is the bottleneck in the US battle against covid.

    “And the world keeps turning anyways
    The flowers come up anyways
    The mountains rise up anyways”

    Absolutely nothing to do with the Virus and I’m not gone 100% hippy, but I do love them lyrics from a little band called Austra... just seems to fit the current situation for me.

    I don't recall Sweden coming out to the rest of the world with as much bollix as this fella.

    There inaction is more worrying than this loon, at least he is flapping, just no one knows what exactly it is he is flapping about.

    They have different cultures. A high number of Swedes live alone and you have very few multi generational households compared to other countries, so they distance as a norm. Also, within Sweden there is a huge debate about how they are handling things. 2000 doctors have signed a letter asking the government to reconsider it's position.

    I don’t think anyone needed to rely on expert advice to know Cheltenham was a bad idea.

    At that point everyone could see what was happening in Italy.

    Didn’t stop Cheltenham....deserves to be on a ventilator???

    Channel 4 do an interview with veterinaries who have developed a test that can be done in 20 mins.. they dance around the accuracy of it when asked but interesting interview..
