Keir Starmer asked if Joe Biden criticism is 'fair' | LBC

[@Hagg-o-tron]

Interviewer... "Prime minister, you've been in the job less than a week. Would you like to take a moment to slander the president of the United States? The commander in chief of the most powerful army in the world, holding the launch codes to one of the biggest nuclear arsenals on the globe and one of the UK's most important military and diplomatic allies?"
What a f#*ing clown car question!

[@ethzero]

It's valid question but realistically no head of state would, or indeed should give that kind of assessment publicly.

[@JamesMc2051]

Correct. Setting up a trap trying to get him to meddle in American domestic affairs and Democrat party matters. Part of the job is knowing what not to say.

[@DGSRizzo]

Questions like this are journalistic traps. Most journalists will lay traps like this one and once you're caught... "gotcha!" 😂😂😂 He side stepped this trap like his job depended on it. 😅

Anyone can see the mental decline of Biden in any format and in any context... except our foolish new leader. This doesn't speak well for Starmer's own mental cognition.

[@cretinousswine8234]

Starmer is extreamly academically qualified and professionally accomplished. He probably has more grey matter in one hemisphere than in your entire brain, which I don't doubt considering it completely escapes you that of course a statesman has to speak in a stately way toward another world leader and global ally. Privately Starmer obviously realizes Biden is in no shape to be president. But what do you expect Starmer to do? Point out the obvious? Go rethink your comment.

[@rmack3722]

What an absurdly silly take.

Imagine not being able to apply common sense. Biden 10 years ago and Biden today... tells you all that you need to know. Starmer needs to be careful as it seems like he doing everything to throw us into a civil revolution.
