Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

He build and expand to the U.S. and make the United States north Korea since I'm only in North korea this country has imposed a process on that everyone the planet has/had to go to which is beyond discrimination and prejudiced victimizing in the process on the process and I don't even get any respect for what has been taken for me this country doesn't seem to have accountability for the harm they done in my life and ripped apart my "family" committing high capital offenses and treasonous crimes so absoulty not this country is nothing but criminals and high treasonous crimes.

Every dictatorship that backed down on nuclear power has been overthrown so I don't think they can back down, and with close affiliations with China nobody could attack or effectively sanction them. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a power struggle if China tried to put a puppet figureheads in place which would put a Chinese puppet state right next door to a US one

understand this North Korea been in power for a long time and the leaders of Kim Jong-un understand their situation and I know who ever be the next leader will be a puppet. with that much power they will have someone keep up what Kim Jong-Un was doing. It just a thought that they will produce a puppet like President Bush jr.

@pickleonions4277
December 28, 2023 at 1:42 pm
North Korea may not have a future because the Chinese have moved an army to the frontier to commence an invasion at the first sign of instability so they can blame someone else for their need to come to NK's aid but then will never leave and make it a Chinese province, so all this ti.e NK has been worried about western world and their real worry has been hiding in plain sight.
Ask all other countries that surround China what happens when they let their guard down.
Look out India, Mongolia, Vietnam and Russia, you all may be looking in the wrong direction for threats.

Slightly disappointed in TLDR about the addition of the last comments about Trump. A reporter with an accent was asking Trump about Kim Jung Un and, in setting up her question, mentioned that Sen. Lindsay Graham had been on Fox News on Saturday. Trump then seemed to mishear the question, answered with the comments mentioned by TLDR, and moved on before allowing her to clarify her question.
