"REFORM has pulled off a major political upset in Carmarthenshire, winning the Lliedi by election with over 42 percent of the vote and unseating Labour in one of its long-held strongholds."

I don't disagree when Trump says Europe needs to oay its way. it's not that which riles me. No, it's how he's palled up with Putin, how he;s treated Ukraine (though as the Oil and gas situation shows, Europe is culpable too) and now all these tariffs, Trump is a bully, he's not fit to lace many former presidents shoes, including Obama, FDR and Carter. he's a dangerous man and Europe needs to be united against danger.

Trump would sell Ukraine out (and has tried to) in the name of profit for the USA. He'd do the same to us and other Euro countries. We should stand up together and be counted now, send him the message that fine, the USa doesn't have to pay anything anymore, they can look after themselves.
The sooner the UK's armed fporces are brought back up to scratch, the better and ditto for all of Europe. Now is not the time to be weak, yet we are.


Completely concur.

We are weak however precisely because of the Presidents that have gone before him. Presidents that other NATO leaders knew would step in if needed. It's taken the Orange Buffoon for them to finally understand the situation they have left themselves in.

Ironically the French might be in the best nick. A completely independent Nuclear deterrent and arms industries capable of meeting their own needs.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Spot on.

Trump does not value or understand democratic structures, nor points of principle, nor doing the right thing.

Everything is transactional instead.
Peace in Gaza = whats in it for me ? Hotels ?
Support in Ukraine - give me your mineral wealth in exchange
Canada into the USA - protection for minerals deal
Greenland into USA - protection for strategic military bases

He sees no value in the international rules based order that has kept the peace since 1945, instead he likes to be friends instead with the likes if Xi and Putin, his ego has no limit.

Beware of the Risen People

It's basically the only area where I am, reluctantly, in agreement with Trump.

The rest of NATO have skated by for years knowing full well that the US would step in if needed and bear the largest burden of the alliance. What he's asking from them is not unreasonable, and if I was a US taxpayer I would be wondering why I'm paying to support an organisation that generally looks down on me and my country whilst also expecting it to protect me if needed.

I'm reminded of the, possibly apocryphal, but still quite on point if true exchange between Charles De Gaulle and US Secretary of State Dean Rusk. When CdG was loudly demanding that all US troops be removed from France, Rusk enquired as to whether that meant the ones buried there also, which quietened CdG down a bit.


That's ignoring the many reasons for Nato.

It wasn't just a bulwark against the soviets. It was meant to stop europe going to war against each other again. The other part of the deal was that America said that they'd underwrite the majority of Nato costs as long as europe went free trade with America... The huge trade that Europe did with America then allowed America to become the reserve currency of the world, the pre-eminent industrial nation in the world and the huge amount of money that made America covered the costs of Nato.

And trump has blown that out if the water with his traiffs, his "MAGA" actions and his dangerous bully boy approach to Ukraine whilst cosying up to Putin.

Now Euripe needs to look within itself for its own security.

NATO is finished. Everything it's given the Ukraine has been countered by the Russians. It's no longer a bulwark but a creeping edifice that has lost it's purpose. Disband it now.

Putting Trumps action aside, Russia has once again demonstrated why Nato or an equivalent is very much needed.

I've said all along that Farage is writing cheques that can't be cashed he's deluded.

A talking horse without substance.


Three posts on the bounce seems like Starmer, Farage is living rent free in your head.
