No British government ever imagined an American president might finally tell the truth about the “special relationship.”

Until now.

Spare me the pearl-clutching obituary from The Economist, that decaying salon of transatlantic nostalgia where the ghost of Churchill is still being pimped out like a rent-boy for Davos subscriptions.

Your precious bunting of flags in the bin isn’t some tragic metaphor for Trump’s “betrayal.”

It’s the autopsy photo of a one-way parasitic bargain that America has carried on its back like a drunk uncle for eighty goddamn years.

And the drunk finally woke up, looked around, and said: Fuck this.

This isn’t “turning his back.”

This is a sovereign nation refusing to keep subsidizing a continent of strategic eunuchs who have spent decades castrating their own militaries, hollowing out their industrial bases, and importing the very pathologies that make them security liabilities rather than allies.

You want the special relationship?

Earn it. Reciprocate it. Stop treating the United States like an ATM with nuclear weapons.

Geopolitically and militarily, the numbers don’t lie and they never have.

The United States still shoulders roughly sixty percent of total NATO defense spending...$845 billion out of a collective $1.4 trillion last year.

Most of your European “partners” couldn’t hit the 2% GDP target even after Russia parked tanks on Ukraine’s border and started lobbing missiles at civilian infrastructure.

Britain under Starmer talks a big game about “global Britain” while quietly slashing capability, courting CCP-linked cash, and letting its own streets burn under the weight of demographic transformation and speech codes that make the old East German Stasi look libertarian.

You lecture us about values while your own government criminalizes tweets and turns Rotherham into a cautionary tale the media still refuses to fully autopsy.

Historically, the ledger is even more damning. We bled for you in 1917 and 1941 when your empires were on the ropes.

We bankrolled your reconstruction, anchored your defense for the entire Cold War, and let you punch above your weight on the world stage because sentimental Anglosphere nostalgia still meant something.

In return? Suez 1956, where you expected us to back imperial nostalgia while we were trying to contain Soviet expansion.

Vietnam, where you sat it out. Iraq, where you half-assed it and then spent the next twenty years sneering at us in your broadsheets. And every single time an American president dared put America First, your commentariat wailed like Victorian widows about the death of the alliance...as if the alliance was ever meant to be a suicide pact.

You’ve internalized a victimhood narrative so profound it borders on the clinical...projecting your own national decline, your own loss of agency, your own self-inflicted castration onto the one country that still possesses the will to act like a great power.

Trump doesn’t “deprioritize” the relationship; he simply refuses to indulge the delusion any longer.

He sees what you refuse to admit:

the United Kingdom of 2026 is no longer the reliable offshore balancer of 1945.

It’s a mid-tier European power wrestling with internal entropy, elite disconnect, and a demographic trajectory that makes long-term strategic partnership… let’s just say, complicated.

We are sick of it. Sick of the free ride. Sick of the lectures from people whose capitals are turning into no-go zones while their defense ministers beg Washington for more F-35s and more carrier groups to patrol waters they can no longer secure themselves.

Sick of the pomp, the pageantry, the royal visits, and the hand-wringing editorials that treat American self-interest as some kind of moral failing.

The special relationship isn’t dead. It’s being stress-tested by reality.

And reality, Mr. Economist, is a vicious bitch with a ledger in one hand and a mirror in the other.

Look into it.

Great, so let’s drat another right tack to play left tackle! It worked so well with Wills and Jones. Idiots.

[Zac Jackson @AkronJackson]

The Browns have had 14 different starting left tackles since Joe Thomas was injured in 2017.

[Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke]

Barack Obama did a lot of damage as president, but the most destructive act was deliberately wrecking Donald Trump’s first term by masterminding the Russia collusion hoax.

There���s a huge difference between governing poorly and actively sabotaging your successor. A bad president can mismanage and pursue bad policies, but those actions, however misguided, at least come from an electoral mandate. What Obama did went far beyond that. He set a trap designed to cripple the presidency he was handing over. He didn’t just target a political rival, he corroded the office itself.

It was an extraordinary act of political sabotage. Yet remarkably few people even realize the central role Obama played in it.

He should've signed a good kicker, it may have saved his job!

[Anthony Lima @SportsBoyTony]

In 4 years under Kwesi Adofo-Mensah the Vikings went 43-25 (.632 winning %)

In 6 years under Andrew Berry the Browns have gone 45-56 (.445 winning %)

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

ESPN Sources: the Cleveland Browns are hiring former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken as their next head coach.

[Mike Mel @MikeMel]

Berry should have been fired with Stefanski!

Watch Jimmy Haslam not like how the coaching search went and fires Berry after they end up hiring Schwartz

[Mike Mel @MikeMel]

Who remembers when Elliott Wolfe was with the Browns and Jimmy Haslam fired him to hire Andrew Berry? He drafts a QB and is going to the Super Bowl. We are still stuck with Haslam and Berry. BUt hey, like Jimmy said-Berry found us a kicker! #Browns @KenCarman @SportsBoyTony
