Was he holding a copy of today's newspaper?

Terrible story from the US, it just keeps happening, sometimes I think that country is a failed state

That is terrible but their fascination with guns is probably getting out of hand

I don't think the rest of the western world looks to the U.S. to bring peace. I think that's just their own self delusion that they are the righteous good guys who can do no wrong, always the heroes with god almighty on their side blah blah blah.

Doesn't the U.S. top surveys where the question is along the lines "who is the biggest threat to world peace ?" etc

Can't really disagree either, with the amount of attempted coups, successful coups, interfering in elections, bombings, selling of arms to despots, illegal sanctions, supporting apartheid states, supporting some dictators but overthrowing other dictators. The list goes on and on.

Not exactly the actions of "the good guys who bring peace"
Think most of the rest of the West is aware of this and would agree, they just wouldn't say it aloud

And I would say a USA with a idiot at it's helm is dangerous enough...

Hackers have carried out a "highly sophisticated attack" on EasyJet and accessed the email and travel details of around nine million customers and the credit card details of 2,000 more.

Boris isn't going to be investigated by the police over his intimates relations with American business woman Jennifer Arcuri.
