@ItsChuck66@gnuseibeh US loses access to all NATO and allied bases, including Ascension, Diego Garcia, Akrotiri. US industrial defence base contracts over next 20 years, like minded middle powers from Can to S Kor, Eur to Oz, ally, sharing trade and defence production. Yep, we certainly got this.
@ItsChuck66@gnuseibeh This is the same Russia that has taken 1.5 million casualties 4 years into a 3 day special military operation. But to be fair to Trumpy, hes right, our politicians have run our military down, which has now led to a long awaited wake up, and re-industrialisation. So all good ๐ค
@ItsChuck66@gnuseibeh Yep, if we get sick, we go to the doctors and we don't go bankrupt. I hear your defence budget is now going to $1.5 Trillion, that'll fix everything. Can't even sort out a bunch of mad mullahs๐คก
@ItsChuck66@gnuseibeh Was that the one where the Strait of Hormuz was already open, then the Orange Womble and his $1 Trillion war machine moved in?
What a masterclass in military strategy, rest of the world has run out of popcorn watching Iranian lego movies.
PETRAEUS: Britain's response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine provides particularly powerful example. From late 2021 onward, UK demonstrated strategic clarity.
Your leaders publicly recognized the nature of Russian threat earlier than most, provided military assistance before and after the invasion, expanded intelligence support, imposed sanctions, trained Ukrainian forces, and consistently demonstrated leadership, even as others, including my country [the US] at times, hesitated.
Your Prime Minister was also the first major Western leader to visit Kyiv after the invasion, and despite changes of government and significant challenges at home, Britain has maintained remarkable continuity in recognizing both the threat posed by Russia and the imperative of sustained support for Ukraine.
Your new Prime Minister rightly made his first trip overseas to Kyiv to be there to help celebrate Ukraine's 35th anniversary of independence.
That deserves recognition, not merely because Britain stood with a country attacked by a common adversary, but because it demonstrated the quality that matters most in periods of strategic change: the ability to recognize reality clearly and act decisively before others do so.
@WhiteHouse President CockWomble, we with our Canadian, Aussie, NZ and the rest of the sensible world are all laughing you. USA, stay insular, and keep looking inward. We've already moved on...
