If you want us Europeans to forcefully establish a democracy in the USA, please let us know...

The US seems to be doing its best to be everyone's enemy right now.

Not Russia.

I mean, Trump is in part Putin's creation.

It's been a couple o days already that Trump announced he will go against Russia if Ukraine pays his price...

(His price seems to be all about posturing, but he made a point of announcing it.)

A little bit of posturing to maintain his strongman image with his base doesn't change a thing.

Every word he utters is "Give me money and attention" with a different theme applied.

They loading up the nukes to take Greenland too?

I’m British. Not that I’m aware. But we aren’t really speaking against The Orange Fart and we do have a fair few right wing folk.

we do have a fair few right wing folk.

In these times... who doesn't?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Very true. It’s just the best answer I could come up with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

We’ve shat the bed in Europe so much that we’re on Team Trump by default. Starmer of course wants to have it both ways, but when push comes to shove, we’ll be trying to broker a deal over Greenland and hosting Trump Org Gaza property expos.

He actually did have a decent response when he was asked about Gaza and Trump's "plan" in parliament, specifically saying that Palestinians must be allowed back to their homes and allowed to rebuild, and also that Britain should back them in that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

He also expressed concerns about the Gaza operation, while continuing to supply weapons to the IDF, so this should probably be taken as a PR figleaf.

Europe is the good guy? Since when?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Since they starting letting the US do all the dirty work while they reap the benefits and look innocent at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

Since Einstein said everything is relative.

The force is with us... but that's about it.
