So Donald has set a deadline for other people to clean up the mess he made?

@dioscuri Not sure I agree. I live in London and spend about 4 weeks a year in Los Angeles. I eat plenty of tasty food in LA but no better than what I have in London.

Europeans like to scoff at American gluttony, but an underrated factor in the US obesity crisis is that American food is just unreasonably good. Not fine dining specifically, but the average sports bar or taqueria or diner food is just much tastier than typical Euro equivalents

No exclusions presumably except for Russia?

@MFishwreck @JamesKanag @focaldataHQ Trumps a disaster. Dems don’t need to follow that up by being equally disastrous but in different ways.

@JamesKanag @focaldataHQ ‘Damaging’?! What worse than the greatest humiliation and downgrade of US hegemony in history?

MURDER PROBE LAUNCHED AFTER PRIMROSE HILL STABBING
A 21 year old man was stabbed and pronounced dead at the scene and a second man was found nearby with injuries, not said to be life-threatening.
No arrests have been made.
Police say the investigation is “unfolding at pace” and are urging witnesses to come forward.
Another day in lawless London.

@KurtVon565729 @KieraDiss Check out how many more homicides there are per capita in the US than in the UK.

Trump: do as I say, or I will bomb you back to the stone ages
Iran: best I can do is this 10 point plan where you give us everything we want
Trump: deal!

Any ending of the Iran/USA conflict that leaves Iran charging large tolls to pass through the straits of Hormuz will be a huge US defeat.

@VinnieSull1van I live near and visit the area regularly. This is nonsense.

@ThatboygM57297 Giovanni, you seem to be talking about yourself. I’m sure you are better than that.

Your a fucking useless sack of shit

Am going to have to write an article on US support to the UK in 1982 now.

The whole point of the Atlantic alliance is that it would be operative regardless of which politicians were elected in member nations. That's why we have treaties.
If the US-Europe partnership is wholly dependent on the outcome of our elections, it's essentially already dead.
Gerard Baker@gerardtbaker
The casuistry here is remarkable. This is the simple reality: Like most Americans, most Europeans think this war is a bad idea.Their governments are being asked to take a huge risk by a man who has proved unreliable, volatile and intemperate over and over. Who would do that?

My money is on the straight being still pretty much closed in month’s time.

This is true in as far as it goes. But on a cold windless day in January you may really, really want to have some of those fossil fuels.

This post is bang right on one thing - you buy a wind turbine or solar panel and you have power for 20 years. No one can hold you hostage and you don’t have to keep paying. If you buy a barrel of oil or a cubic meter of gas it’s gone the moment you use it. Renewable energy is there for decades. Fossil fuel is disposable. It’s a subscription product from very unreliable providers.

Trump and his acolytes have spent the last year insulting, sanctioning and threatening the US’s allies. Is it any wonder they aren’t rushing to join in his very risky and poorly planned war against Iran?
Ari Fleischer@AriFleischer
When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.
