Politicians React as Trump Claims NATO Troops Avoided Front Lines | BBC Question Time

Jan 23, 2026 | Following a tense week for European nations over Donald Trump’s threats to Greenland, fresh outrage has been sparked as the US President claimed NATO troops avoided Afghanistan's front line.

Trump told Fox News on Thursday: "They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan... and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.”

The UK was among several allies to join the US in Afghanistan from 2001, and a total of 457 British service personnel were killed in the conflict.

WE CAN DO BETTER / WIR KÖNNEN ES BESSER MACHEN / NOUS POUVONS FAIRE MIEUX

The world is full of unnecessary suffering and deaths. Let us at least try to understand each other better and minimise the suffering and tragic deaths. One death is one death too many! Can’t we do better than this? / Die Welt ist voller unnötigem Leid und Tod. Versuchen wir wenigstens, einander besser zu verstehen und das Leid und die tragischen Todesfälle zu minimieren. Ein Tod ist ein Tod zu viel! Können wir es nicht besser machen? / Le monde est rempli de souffrances et de morts inutiles. Essayons au moins de mieux nous comprendre et de minimiser les souffrances et les morts tragiques. Un décès est un décès de trop ! Ne pouvons-nous pas faire mieux que cela ? – © Mark Alexander

FIRST KISS

I am placing this link here because Trump and his cronies are trying hard to take gays’ rights away from them. Moreover, Islam is growing in the West too, and if it gets too strong here, it will certainly take gays’ hard-fought-for, hard-won rights away from them. So here, you can enjoy two gay men kissing each other. What could possibly be offensive about that? If you are so narrow-minded that it upsets you, just click over. Remember: This website is dedicated to furthering the rights of ALL honest, law-abiding citizens. — Mark
