US Election & Presidency

More people voted for Clement Attlee and Labour in the 1951 General Election than Winston Churchill and the Conservatives. But nobody ran about pretending the Russians had rigged the result because they couldn't accept the system that caused it.

Kim Jong Loon's latest missile test just failed so the bombers can stand down for now.

The only way I believe we can ever stop N Korea's nuclear programme is to hack it I think

Different technology, lost ballot boxes, all sorts of excuses.

Will we ever see the report on the US election and what proof they have of Russia hacking it?

Hacked and lost are two issues, but what they can be is checked, hence recounts.

I understood the issues in America were that some computer machines couldn't be verified (or that might have only been the Democratic nomination thing). It's easy to blame "hostile hacking" when you can't check the truth.

I saw that idiot Malcolm Rifkind today suggesting the Nth Korea missile failure was maybe down to American hacking. Is now really a good time to suggest that?

I wonder how big "Trump's Armada" really is compared to what the Russkies and Chinese are apparently sending but it is still amazing that there is still a state of war existing even after all these years between North & South Korea

Turkey have an election with some very dubious voting iregulalities But President Trump had called President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to congratulate him on a controversial referendum win that will grant him sweeping powers.
