@t_blom 3. -> Leaving NATO isn’t simple. A bipartisan provision in the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act mandates that any decision to leave NATO must be supported by 60 senators or through specific legislation passed by Congress. Plus abandoning allies weakens U.S. security

[Alminas Plungė @alplunge]

8/🧵 Some argue NATO is too costly for the U.S., but the reality? It’s a bargain. America’s NATO contribution is a fraction of its defense budget (just ~0.07%), far cheaper than the cost of major wars.

7/🧵 Moscow & Beijing would celebrate a U.S. withdrawal. Without NATO’s deterrence, they would expand influence while America’s allies scramble to fill the void. The balance of power would shift, and not in the U.S.’s favor.

@Nigel_Farage The UK has always had strong transatlantic ties, but Brexit didn’t make it the sole ‘link’ between Europe and the U.S. Being in the EU never blocked leadership - just look at @EmmanuelMacron. Security in Europe needs real cooperation, not just a ‘coalition of the willing.’

[Alminas Plungė @alplunge]

@Blader_98 @PM_ViktorOrban You’re conflating the EU with Europe. Security in Europe isn’t just an EU issue - it affects the entire continent, including the UK. Starmer engaging with European security doesn’t require EU membership. Brexit didn’t mean the UK stopped caring about stability in Europe.

@AlexTaylorNews I’m very curious to see real actions after this summit 🤔. How will this change our lives? Will it change at all? If not, perhaps it’s also good, as there are no further escalations, and we can all get back to our boring daily routines.

Brexit divided us, but crises remind us: security, stability, and solidarity don’t care about borders. 🇪🇺💙💛🇬🇧

The end of the Brexit era👇

This is about peace in Europe and the best outcome for Ukraine.

That’s what I’m focused on.

@piersmorgan Diplomacy requires mutual respect, but it’s challenging to achieve when one side is under relentless attack. 3/3

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

The only winner from today’s Oval Office debacle is Vladimir Putin… and anyone who thinks that is a good thing for the world is stunningly deluded.

@nikolajht @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan The situation at the pink line was extremely disorganized. We traveled all the way from Lithuania 🇱🇹 to London for the New Year’s fireworks. Our investment in this show extended beyond the £20 per person ticket price. We found ourselves stuck in a queue, unable to enter.@BBCNews
