    Meekness or compliance? Taking the easy (more comfortable) way out?

    This has turned into more than just ‘doing the bare minimum’: The way our laws are being affected and freedom of speech curtailed, the way some voices are encouraged to express grievance while others are suppressed is a cause for alarm when these changes are being instigated by a foreign country.

    Countries like Spain have managed to stand up and say they will not collude despite having a US base on their soil and Trump’s threats to cut trade with them. As far as I know, Trump has not followed through. If more nations did the same we’d have a different scenario. Trump is no longer popular in his own country but I think the international community might be waiting for the mid-term elections. I believe this to be not only meek but cowardly. Thousands of people are being slaughtered.
