@Rick_G_Warrior @Microinteracti1 40,000 Americans killed each other with guns last year. You even realise how stupid your words are?

@Microinteracti1 Wait, Europeans can't even defend their own women on the streets, being harassed & raped by illegal immigrants. Now, they want to pretend they are strong enough to defend Europe? 😆 You can't make this stuff up...

I am not sure the American military establishment has fully grasped what Trump has actually done here. So let me spell it out in language even a Pentagon procurement officer can understand. Europe has been buying American weapons at a staggering rate. In 2024 alone, US foreign military sales notifications to European countries hit $76 billion. Four times the European average since 2008.  F-35s, missile systems, air defence, ammunition. All of it American. All of it coming with decades of service contracts, maintenance agreements, spare parts, software updates and training programmes worth hundreds of billions more over their operational lifetimes. Between 2020 and 2024, the United States supplied 64 percent of all European weapons imports.  That is now over. Europe has an $860 billion defence plan, and American contractors are being frozen out. The goal is 80 percent of all military purchases from European factories by 2030.  Airbus. Rheinmetall. KNDS. Saab. Leonardo. BAE Systems. They are about to receive the largest order book in the history of European defence industry. Because Trump made it politically impossible for any European government to keep writing cheques to Washington. Some European governments have discussed worries that the Pentagon could remotely disable American F-35 fighters or impose restrictions on how US weapons can be used.  When your supplier is also threatening to annex your allies, that is not paranoia. That is basic procurement logic. Trump set out to make America great again. He has succeeded magnificently. For Rheinmetall. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@CrashOf47 @TheAthleticFC

@TheAthleticFC People mocking him as if he wasn’t proven right about the vaccines and the whole Covid farce 🤦‍♂️ Easier than admitting you were hoodwinked I guess.

Matt Le Tissier has returned to Southampton in an advisory role which will support the club’s board. Le Tissier is expected to work with the club’s football department and contribute to decision-making. The 57-year-old, one of Southampton’s most celebrated players, previously stepped down from his role as club ambassador in 2022 following criticism of his social media activity.

@stevemaybury @C_ENicolson Spot on. Football means everything, and nothing, at the same time.

@C_ENicolson But football is a panto. Cheer the good guys, boo the bad guys. Ridiculous? Yes. Funny? Also yes. Polite applause for a rival boss in a relegation battle would be woke nonsense.

If Stephen Robinson gets booed by St Mirren fans it’ll be a new low in a season of ridiculous overreactions.

@C_ENicolson Hey Eric, don't ever go to a pantomime. You won't like it.

@Record_Sport FFS 😅 He makes Cyril Dessers look like peak Ronaldo.

@chris_croslin1 @DanCollins2011

@DanCollins2011 Better to know now than when it really counts. We're finally moving to an American Empire and they don't like it. The EU thinks it runs the world...they don't! Alberta, Greenland, now moving on South America. That's an entire hemisphere waking up to a new American Empire...

This feels like the first war in my lifetime where literally the whole world wants the U.S to lose. Do we have any friends left?

🚨 JUST IN: French President Emmanuel Macron goes full COWARD MODE, says he wishes President Trump didn't bomb Iran's world-threatening regime "I disagree with them...but I don't believe we fix it by bombing!" "Respect the sovereignty of people." What a clueless clown 🤡🤡

@ClydeSSB Changed days from when big fat DJ told the squad they were a shower of useless bas**rds a couple of months ago.

🔊 LISTEN: “We have the quality to win the league”. 🔵 Rangers head coach Danny Röhl has full belief in his squad as they head into the final seven matches of the Premiership title race ⬇️

@RadioFreeTom There are hundreds of qualified replacements that can step in with about a days worth of transition.

Firing the Army chief of staff in the middle of a war is always a sign that things are going great

@USofStephen @JaCisar Who elected Pete Hesgeth?

@JaCisar He's in power after winning his election, unlike your friend Zelenskyy.

@BillRupp8 @SpecialSitsNews

@RadioFreeTom @SpecialSitsNews Biden Appointed and Not Willing to Accept Decisions from the Commander and Chief. If everyone in the boat aren’t rowing in the same direction, time to change the rowers!

@Strummer1964 @_JamieMcIntyre

@_JamieMcIntyre CMAL is full of DEI hires. The old experienced Captains don’t make decisions now - its all centralised due to ‘Elf and Safety’

The Central Belt defenders of CalMac have been quick to argue that the current woes are simply the result of unfortunate breakdowns coinciding with scheduled maintenance. They haven't explained why you would sensibly schedule maintenance *at the busiest time of year* (Easter).

@PLZSoccer @PeterMsport Always liked Steven Pressley, the coach, from his Falkirk days. His positivity, enthusiasm and desire to succeed. It would please me greatly if he were to win a major trophy.

🗣️'The opposite here. I never criticise my players for trying to be creative and do something.' Dundee manager Steven Pressley loves seeing his team take risks and play with freedom, and wants to see more flair in the Scottish game.

@PatrioticDee @FoxNews

@FoxNews There must be a good reason and I trust Pete.

BREAKING: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has asked the Army Chief of Staff, General Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, a senior U.S. Army official and senior Department of War official confirm to Fox News.

@stopwastingfud @CBSNews

@CBSNews NOW THIS IS WHAT I VOTED FOR ,TRUE LEADERSHIP IF CANT DELIVER STEP ASIDE,IF YOU CANT ALIGN WITH YOUR EMPLOYERS POLICY STEP ASIDE

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, sources familiar with the decision told CBS News. One of the sources said Hegseth wants someone in the role who will implement President Trump and Hegseth's vision for the Army.

@MatthewStadlen @stuart211147 That's obvious.

@stuart211147 Depends where I’m stating it.

Stating the bloody obvious. Do you get paid for stating the obvious?

@LarryBMurrayJr1 @mehdirhasan Pity you see the need to be abusive. Oh well, I guess that's the American way these days.

@therealijn @mehdirhasan You just stay in Scotland and continue to keep the blinders on, while all of you in the EU are getting overrun by Muslims and getting their ideologies and their beliefs shoved down your throats (probably something else shoved down your throat too)!

I feel embarrassed for a lot of Christians in this country.

@LarryBMurrayJr1 @mehdirhasan You're desperately trying to justify Trump's lunacy. Iran does not fund Isis, despite your claims. They are in fact enemies. This conflict has done nothing other than create more animosity towards America. All Trump's own idiotic work.

@therealijn @mehdirhasan I agree, but when they spend almost half a century crying for the death of our nation, while trying to get nuclear weapons, and killing our people, and paying for terrorists groups to go after our people and our allies, so we have to do something other than give them money!

@LarryBMurrayJr1 @mehdirhasan I'm afraid heinous civilizations have been around for thousands of years through history. It doesn't mean we should ignore this, but the solution to inflict violence upon innocents should never be justified. America, for example, has been drawn to fascism in its past.

@therealijn @mehdirhasan Just think if Iran allowed their people to have freedom instead of fear, or from living under the boot of a tyrannical cult that keeps people in fear of severe punishments or death for things such as deciding to no longer believe in the Islamic cult beliefs.

@LarryBMurrayJr1 @mehdirhasan Incredible. America defence spend $900 billions. Iran $15 billions. Just think if 1/3 of that was spent on healthcare of US citizens. But no. Unelected billionaires scare the shit out of Americans, to keep themselves rich, and the rest poor.

@therealijn @mehdirhasan Funny how you're either too ignorant, or blindly just simping for a country that has constantly cried "death to America" for the past 47 years, all while trying to obtain nuclear weapons. Enriching uranium to 60% and trying to go further to build bombs is bad for us all.
