@brontyman Don’t expect any Yank to get this but outside of the USA, no one considered the USA as leaders of the free world. America has long been the dominant, muscular but thick school bully on the world stage, meaning political leaders had to be deferential. Trump’s ended that illusion.
@SharrellAnne2 Presumably the $2K tariff dividend or $5K DOGE refund would have been equally useful? But of course the tangerine twat didn’t deliver either of those fantasies, as I’m certain he never intended to. How fucking stupid do you have to be to keep believing the gargantuan shitstain?
@Gary04317416 Von, realise there’s a significant chance you’re a fecking idiot as you seem to be American, but do you honestly think the gargantuan orange shit stain has any intention of trying to enact his patently illegal bribe? Just in case you are that dumb (with a b), he really hasn’t.
@Mark_AE_Wilson Wonder no more Mark, the answer’s simpler than you think …
The reason they don’t step in is because a significant fraction of them fundamentally, unwaveringly and fairly muscularly agree with him.
He’s not an aberration, he’s the manifestation of the American dream!
@oelma__ U S A!
For maximum effect, has to be chanted by lobotomised Yanks just before one of their redneck golfing heroes tees off at a 600yd par five.
Fucking twats!
@NicholasLissack Big news. Entitled British Jew (his own description) intentionally conflates UK Gov’s stance against the rabidly bloodthirsty Israeli government with antisemitism. Classic deflection and wholly inaccurate characterisation. What a twat!
@RealRichardBail You OK Dick?
First time on the interweb perhaps?
Just grab the little doofer by your bed, press the big red button and nursey will get your meds to you soon.
Be brave Dick, help’s coming!
@archer_rs Or if you can’t get there, just watch the news and see what’s really going on … oh no, hang on, can’t do that because the oh-so reasonable Israeli government won’t allow any journalists into Gaza for fear of what they’d see and then say!
@ianrich15813274 Rubbish as you probably know.
NATO, sadly underwritten by US $s, is the reason for peace in Europe since WWII.
W/o that alliance the squabbling tribes of Europe would be at each others’ throats again in no time. The EU is a grotesque technocracy & we’re still better off out!
@HoyasFan07 Nope. Even structural linkages, which previously seemed unbreakable, are breaking down. UK, CA, EU etc are all rewiring their economies & defence alliances w/o the US. Trump’s the instigator but the long term issue is there’s nothing to stop you voting in another cretin like him.
@MorEdge_Insight Can you really not see, through those antisemitism-seeking goggles, that the changing of political discourse in the UK re Israel is in any way linked to the Israeli government’s brutal treatment of Palestinians? Are you utterly incapable of seeing the wider truth?
@RossKempsell Nope.
Lifelong conservative and previous critic of Miliband but today he and our government got it spot on. Israel - the state not the religion, which are not the same thing - is monstrous and gets away with being monstrous by conflating political criticism with antisemitism.
