Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, March 10, 2026

Senior foreign affairs editor and former White House correspondent for The Guardian Simon Tisdall: "The first lesson of war is know your enemy,' and Britain's enemy now is Donald Trump. As the Iran disaster escalates, UK PM Keir Starmer should treat the US president as someone whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhere."

FAFO for the British Monarchy

"It's long been obvious Dummkopf Trumpf is no friend to Britain. But this latest act of lethal hubris, of which the UK received no advance warning, shows he and his sinister junta must now be considered an enemy.

Israel's prime minister, the revolting Benjamin Netanyahu, already charged with war crimes in Gaza, and idiotic Dummkopf Trumpf must now face prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for atrocities perpetrated in Iran, notably the appalling 28 February bombing of a school in Minab.

Trumpf and Netanyahu should both be sanctioned by the UK and all other governments that still respect the UN charter, human rights, and the rule of law.

And their countries should be sanctioned, too. Many Americans and Israelis deplore their leaders' crazed behavior. Yet these two thugs act in their name. Concerned citizens, failed by an emasculated US Congress and Israeli Knesset, must demand a halt to the mayhem."

Is there anybody on the planet that does not know Dummkopf Trumpf only serves two masters besides himself, ICC-indicted war criminals Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Russia President Vladimir Putin, and that NATO and the international rule of law is meaningless to the geriatric morbidly obese warmongering pedophile?

President Netanyahu's war, or Bibi and Trump calls him, is a disaster for America.

America has never been weaker.

Mission Accomplished.

Putin is Thrilled!

"The first lesson of war is know your enemy' ...

If the only book he's ever reported to have read is Hitler's My New Order, for sure that dotard hasn't read Sun Tzu LOL

An image of Donald Trump with his arm raised in a salute has been included on the cover of a collection of Adolf Hitler's speeches.

Publisher Ishi Press International has illustrated the back cover of Hitler's collected speeches My New Order: volume one and the front cover of volume two with photographs of the presidential candidate. It declares in the book's blurb that: "There are clear similarities between the speeches of Trump and the speeches of Hitler", citing everything from repetition to name calling and a lack of logical justification for views held.

Back cover of volume one of My New Order by Adolf Hitler, which has the 10 December front page of the Philadelphia News printed on the back.

"They never admit they have made a mistake nor do they ever take anything back," Ishi Press writes on both volumes. "To any criticism, they respond by insults and name calling. They use a low form of language, with simple sentences even a person with the lowest level of education or no education at all can understand."

PS C0I0LANUS

I started the book you recommended. Thought I'd be reading about Kurdistan, tribes, Peshmerga, etc., so surprised at the subject matter. I'm up to the middle of the ocean in a boat on it's way to Australia, packed like sardines ...

Enjoy your journey, AU. I hope the book doesn't disappoint.

China looks to be moving in, trying to push the United State out of the "world-order" paradigm.

OpEd: Seeing China's stability against the backdrop of global turmoil
www.globaltimes.cn

... On Sunday, two new Type 055 guided-missile destroyers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy, Dongguan and Anqing, made their official debut. The number of China's publicly known 10,000-ton-class destroyers has increased to 10, achieving balanced deployment across the three major theater commands. This development has inspired countless Chinese citizens. In the current complex and challenging international environment, this piece of news provides a tangible sense of reassurance. Attention to military development reflects an expectation for a strong defense safeguarding national progress, while behind the 10,000-ton-class destroyers lies China's steadfast pursuit of national stability and the well-being of its people.

From the industrial system to technological innovation, and from infrastructure to national defense and military modernization, China's rising comprehensive national strength has enhanced its strategic resilience in a complicated international landscape. ...

As a major country with a population of over 1.4 billion and contributing around 30 percent to global economic growth, how China defines "peace" and how it pursues "development" are crucial. Will it seek peace through hegemonic means, engaging in beggar-thy-neighbor practices and bullying smaller states to secure exclusive development? Or will it follow a path of peaceful development based on mutual respect and win-win cooperation? For the world, these choices lead to vastly different outcomes. China's answer is evident in a series of concrete actions ...

It won't disappoint, but I wasn't expecting such a dark story and the anecdotes of his tribulations to come. I'm going to continue reading if for nothing else to honor the monumental efforts he made to bring the horrors he experienced to the written page. Guess I'll find out how he managed to keep a cell phone ... and keep it charged.

The British Empire had its time. And the American Empire has had its time. We are now, slowly, watching the growth of the Chinese Empire. To everything turn turn turn. There is a season. Turn turn turn.

I was talking about the first dozen pages of the book where he's on a boat headed to Australia.

"Britain's enemy now is Donald Trump"
-Starmer supporter

Jan 19, 2026 " Three quarters of Britons now see Keir Starmer unfavourably.

I'd say Britain's enemy is in the house, so maybe they should worry less about someone else's problem.
+ remove all American bases from enemy countries e.g. Britain

Hmmm... Idea!
Since Americans hate DJT, and Brits hate Starmer...
I get: Britain's immigra-vasion advocate who's hated at home
You get: American wallbuilder who's hated at home
swap!
