Switching between GB news and itv news at ten,only half listening and went over to itv......story about nato and then over to interview with Biden (they'd all been going on about how great it was to have a president not berating allies over defence spending) anyway Biden says when the US was first attacked back in 1941 nato stepped up to the plate.....sure that's what was said but anyway nobody commented.
Either I'm going daft or they are,will now have to watch itv+1.....,,anyone else see it?
Not had a drink today either :P
Not seen it no. Have yet to check out GB news but I have a couple of weeks off so will get around to it.

If he did actually say that it shows a serious lack of historical knowledge. America was still largely an isolationist nation when it was attacked by the Axis powers in 1941. The USSR at the time became an immediate ally, due to having itself already been attacked by some of the same powers. NATO was not formed until 1949 and was designed to contain a very different threat, this time from the former ally, the USSR. The Axis powers who'd attacked America in 41 were long defeated by then. Biden ought to have known that.

But it is not untypical of lack of knowledge in American leaders or contenders for leadership. One former vice-presidential contender thought that the people of Latin America spoke Latin. Reagan notoriously often consulted horoscopes before making major decisions. Presidents often tend to be ignorant of the world outside America and rely heavily on their foreign policy advisors.

Grandad Earpiece has also been telling the world about Libya when he was really talking about Syria.
He's Mr Gaffe. An embarrassment, but he is being run by Kamala and the gang, so he's a bit like the figurehead, the nude in bed, while everyone looks away from the Emperor in his new 46 clothes


Yeah, but they were all over Reagan for "Princess David"


Mind you, he WAS in the thick of Alzheimer's by then. Spitting Images tribute to Genesis's Land if Confusion comes to mind.

Totally unintelligible.
They thought Trump was a danger with the big red button. This guy is probably senile.
