We all know how valuable democracy is, and how important it is to respect another country’s sovereignty; but surely there comes a point at which other countries are forced to interfere in the political affairs of another. When a state is putting another in jeopardy, or when a government is unfairly persecuting an ethnic or social minority, for example. This is especially the case when the country in question happens to hold a significant amount of power.

I now firmly believe that we have reached that point with regard to the United States. Donald Trump is now tearing up decades of policy and progress in the Middle East, based on nothing but his vast ignorance. Every day it seems I am met with another report of his utter stupidity: he is now putting the peace of the world in danger, openly advocating the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. How can we stand back and let this Luddite, who knows as much about geopolitics as a turd, run roughshod over values like having equal respect for a people’s links to an area, irrespective of who they are? Surely  it is time that the wider world puts whatever pressure it can on America to replace Trump with someone who knows what they are doing.
