The latest temper tantrum is littered with falsehood and distortion.

World leaders have pledged their commitment to the Iran nuclear deal after Donald Trump withdrew his support for the landmark agreement.

I am becoming increasingly irritated by the finger glued to thumb gesture from the blonde/sand coloured hair (just about covering the grey), orange coloured skin megalomaniac who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington,  DC. 
Following reports of the most recent temper tantrum reverberating around the corridors of the White House, Donald Trump appeared on television screens around the world ranting about how evil Iran is and how they are reneging on their commitments to the Iranian Nuclear Agreement. He is wrong of course since none of the other signatories to the deal, China, Russia, Germany, United Kingdom and the European Union agree with him and have all stated that they consider that Iran is fully compliant with the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)" or Iran Nuclear Deal as it is commonly known, reached in July 2015 and which included the United States under the then President Barak Obama.  

Iran Nuclear Deal

It therefore follows that Trump is mistaken in his assertions or perhaps more accurately, he is being deliberately mischevious and provocative by stating what he knows to be untrue in pursuit of (not very well) hidden objectives. 
Moreover, he throws in other falsehoods in justification of his allegations many of which are in fact not even amongst the terms or points in the agreement. 
His rantings did however fall short, but only just, of committing the United States to "totally destroying" Iran and therein lies perhaps the real motives for Trump's astonishing outburst. He has been frustrated in his aspirations to achieve American domination in the world by spreading "peace and democracy" through regime change in other countries. For this failure of American foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East, Trump blames Iran and Russia. The twisted logic of Trump's reasoning produces the solution that by reimposing even more severe sanctions against Tehran he can bring down the Iranian government. He refuses to accept the overwhelming evidence that sanctions did not work in the past and have had little effect in other disputes. More over, if he expected that the other signatories to the agreement would blindly follow America's lead, he is very mistaken.
It appears that Trump seeks to lead the United States into another war regardless of any consequences. For the moment, the question of North Korea is on a back burner as the President stokes the rhetoric against Iran and its people. In  connection with Iran, Trump has badly miscalculated and the indications are that he is miscalculating in respect of Korea.

Donald John Trump the 45th President of the United States, is a very dangerous man.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
