Scapegoat 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇪🇺🇬🇱

Matt Hancock getting absolutely torn apart on #SASWhoDaresWins. He can't handle anyone trying to challenge his authority. Absolutely brilliant...

Pete Hegseth: “We negotiate with bombs.” This is the Secretary of Defense of the United States explaining American diplomacy. This guy needs to get fired next. I can't wait for his trial! Straight to the HAGUE.

Walker Smith, sacked for stopping a shoplifter who had ransacked a display of Lindt Gold Bunny Easter eggs. The shoplifter was a repeat offender. @waitrose Where is the justice? theguardian.com/business/2026/…

Waitrose employee sacked after stopping shoplifter from taking Easter eggs. Walker Smith who worked for retailer for 17 yrs was sacked after stopping a repeat offender. Come on @waitrose this doesn't seem right? Re-post to get Walker his job back! theguardian.com/business/2026/…

Absolute bombshell. Professor Jeffrey Sachs confirms that forensic psychiatrists have clinically judged Donald Trump to be a literal psychopath. He is an impulsive, paranoid megalomaniac completely incapable of rational thought, dragging America into a disastrous war.

Tony Benn would have been 101 today. His "Don't arab women weep when their children die, doesn't bombing strengthen their resolve?" Is as relevant now as it was 25 years ago.

Should the state visit of King Charles and the Queen to the United States in April proceed?

Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to. They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures. That is not how it works. Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America. Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf. Now imagine they hadn’t. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home. Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost. And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover. Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name. Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers. If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine. In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation. If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa. You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Very proud that our country 🇬🇧 is a member of this great defensive alliance.

@realaltrump2024 @Orangemanround3 Not true - use the NATO alliance in the correct way & stop blaming it for not supporting an offensive war. 457 members of the British armed forces alone died supporting the last time article 5 of the NATO treaty was invoked. It's disrespectful to suggest NATO wouldn't support.

@StuartHarriso10 @Orangemanround3 I seriously doubt any nation would assist us if we were attacked especially after hearing their comments towards us.

The French baguette Macron is challenging the U.S.? It's time for his daily bitch slap.

Please cut, paste and re-use: Start copy here ➡️ NATO IS A DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE, IT CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE CALLED UPON TO FIGHT AN OFFENSIVE WAR. ⬅️ End copy here

Macron saying exactly as it is. Be more Macron.

@realaltrump2024 @Orangemanround3 No, if the US or any other member of NATO was being attacked. Article 5 would be invoked and all members would come to the aid of the member under attack.

@StuartHarriso10 @Orangemanround3 From what ive seen recently, we are on our own. Absolutely pointless with the exception of a couple of nations, they dont give a damn about us but want our money. Thats it.

@realaltrump2024 @Orangemanround3 You do know that NATO is a defensive alliance? Last time it's action was invoked was post 9/11 - when all the European allies supported the US?

@Orangemanround3 We need to get out of NATO. This was the ultimate test and they failed for the most part. Spend our tax dollars HERE.

@ABC If the US leave NATO, can we have @springsteen please? Asking for the UK.

President Trump and his top deputies have recently threatened to pull the United States out of NATO after several allied countries refused to back the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran. abcnews.link/MPpYRXm

@stockrenter You do know that NATO is a defensive alliance? Last time it's action was invoked was post 9/11 - when all the European allies supported the US?

Pretty much sums it up what has recently gone down in NATO relations. It's not unlike a marriage gone sour and now it's time for a Divorce. It's time to cut the cord & stop carrying the dead weight. It should be crystal clear that the alliance of the unwilling has revealed itself

@BeckyCNN @EspenBarthEide NATO was not formed to help other nations out if they started a war, as in Trumps case with Iran. It's an alliance to protect its members if any one of them is attacked. Last time this was initiated was post 9/11 when members came to the aid of the US in Afganistan.

"Iran retains a lot of capacity--they are masters of asymmetry." @EspenBarthEide expands on why a military action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz may not deliver the advantage some expect: (3/3)

Norway’s Foreign Minister @EspenBarthEide tells me the appetite for confrontation by a global coalition in the Strait of Hormuz while the war rages is nonexistent in Europe: (1/3)

Just in case you needed another reason...

Says the man who supported Brexit and manufactured overseas.... thetimes.com/article/86bc1e…

Cathy Newman, "Trump smashed up the old world order, the UK and EU are wondering what to do about it" "Keir Starmer offered closer ties with the EU, why not go the whole hog and rejoin the EU, with the majority of the country in favour?" Sir Michael Morpurgo, "It was the greatest mistake this country has made since the war, I have no doubt about that at all" "I mean to turn our back on our neighbours in that way, not just in terms of trade but in terms of culture and everything" "It was a ridiculous decision" "Somehow we have to understand when we make a mistake, we admit it and make a change"
