@ColonelTowner It'll be fine, NATO would help because we would be getting "attacked" lol

The UK can say goodbye to the Falklands. Reminder: The UK can’t do any search and rescue. Period. They contracted the entire capability out to a Houston company. If you’re in the UK military, be advised that your rescue depends on the US bc your government doesn’t give a rat’s ass about you.

@EricLDaugh Who cares when you're threatening to nuke them

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Iranian state TV is now calling on Iranian children to surge to power plants so they can be HUMAN SHIELDS against President Trump Students, youth, and almost everyone is invited to shield key infrastructure tomorrow DISGUSTING ANIMALS.

@BasedMikeLee Well that was a bloody waste of money wasn't it, I bet you feel silly now.

We’ve spent $300 billion a year defending Europe Making it easier for Europe to afford socialism When Europe refuses to back up the U.S., it’s time to leave NATO

@LokiJulianus Yo, I'm just gonna borrow your car to do a drive-by, i'll park it back outside your house after though, don't worry.

The relationship between America & Europe is not reducible to NATO: the reason the UK should have backed us up has very little to do w/ some stupid treaty.

@ivan_8848 I reckon I could intercept one, not for free though. Say a few billion quid and i'll have a crack at it.

Former UK Defence Secretary Wallace stated that the country would not be able to intercept Iranian ballistic missiles if they were to strike. "The Iranians took two rocket stages from their space program, added them to existing missiles, and have now succeeded in creating missiles with a range that could allow them to reach the UK in the future. And even if we're not talking about Iran, the point is that range-increasing technologies are advancing, and missile ranges are increasing." "If such a missile were launched at us, would we be able to intercept it?" "No, we wouldn't be able to—at least not yet."

@BiankaB12 The problem is... They're French.

I find it amusing at just how much hatred there is towards France, because when you think about it, they ought to be the allies MAGA pretends they want: 1) they have and fund their own military, including their own nuclear weapons and defence industry/ production. 2) they share intel with the U.S. 3) they don’t have American bases on their soil that are supposedly draining the American taxpayer. 4) they opposed the war in Iraq, which is something that JD Vance - they current sitting Vice President of the United States of America said that ALL Europeans should have done. So what’s the problem?

Given this has me down as ‘right-leaning’, I question its accuracy or relevance….

@SStricklandMMA @SStricklandMMA Remember that time I came to your training session and submitted you in front of everyone? Now you know what they're trying to accomplish.

The only way Trump will get his way in Iran is if he puts a bullet in the head of every Iranian. Stop making missiles. They won't. Stop funding proxies. They won't. Stop enrichment. They wont At this point what are you trying to accomplish?

@models_by_Russ Israel is the UK's closest ally? I really need to leave the house more. I cant believe I didn't know that, everything lately makes so much more sense now.

The UK had a choice when things kicked off. Stand properly with our closest ally… or hang back and pretend that sitting on the fence somehow looks like strength. And we chose the awkward middle ground — not quite in, not quite out, just… there. Now people will say that’s “measured” or “responsible.” But to anyone paying attention, it just looks like hesitation. Because the US isn’t just another country we occasionally agree with. It’s the backbone of NATO, the partner we lean on for intelligence, deterrence, and the kind of military weight that makes other nations think twice before doing anything stupid. Which is why this isn’t really about Iran at all. It’s about what happens if that backbone decides it’s had enough. Take the US out of NATO and what are you left with? A handful of capable countries, yes — but nothing like the same level of reach, power or deterrence. Certainly not enough to make the world’s bad actors lose sleep. And the UK? We’re good… but we’re not “replace the United States” good. Nobody in Europe is. So if Washington starts looking across the table and seeing allies who hedge, hesitate and only show up when it’s convenient, you can’t blame them for eventually asking what they’re getting out of it. That’s the bit people don’t like saying out loud. And here’s another question people dodge — if this had been any other US president, would we have been straight in, shoulder to shoulder without all the hesitation? It’s hard not to think a lot of this comes down to the fact that Western governments simply don’t like Trump. He’s not one of their usual, predictable operators, and that makes them nervous. Whether you rate him or not, that discomfort clearly plays into how willing they are to be seen standing alongside him. Instead, they reach for the Falklands. “Ah, but the Americans didn’t help us then.” Except they did — just not in the way people imagine. No Hollywood carrier group charging in, but plenty of the things that actually matter. Intelligence, logistics, weapons, and support through Ascension Island — which, yes, is British, but at the time was being run as a joint UK-US staging base. They could have made that operation far harder than it already was. They didn’t. They helped make it work. In other words, they showed up like real allies do — not for the headlines, but in ways that actually count. Which brings us back to now. Nobody’s saying we needed to blindly charge in. That’s not the point. But there’s a difference between acting independently and looking like you’re trying to keep everyone happy while committing to nothing. Alliances don’t survive on technicalities. They survive on trust. And if we start looking like the sort of country that wants the protection of NATO without ever really sticking its neck out when it matters, we shouldn’t be surprised if one day that protection starts to feel a bit… optional. Because without the US, NATO isn’t some iron shield. It’s a polite conversation. And that’s not much comfort when the world stops being polite.

@GBNEWS The Seals are eating Dolphin's because they're worried for my safety in coastal areas?

Killer seals have started eating dolphins off UK coast amid fears predators could hunt swimmers next gbnews.com/news/seals-att…

@cainpaul464 @catturd2 The bases are the only reason USA is even in NATO.

@catturd2 I don't think we should pull out of NATO but I think we should pull about half our bases out of these European countries that didn't let us fly over or use our bases! We also should drop our contributions from the 900 billion we now spend to about half of that!

They better hope they never need us.

@RealAlexJones So if the US use them Israel can say, wasn't me, while they have their own nukes and have been doing whatever they want up to this point.

Top Israeli officials are now openly calling for the use of nuclear weapons against IRAN!!

@CleansedTweets If you go there, skip the flat lands, head North West, its Incredible in the Highlands.

The Scottish border is just 4.5 hours & 272 miles away from my village in England & I have never been. I have never been to Scotland🤦‍♀️. I need to change this. But I am not alone. Brits see any journey over an hour to be unnecessary & hardship (and expensive in petrol terms).

@thinkdefence If we glass Argentina, ramp up oil production in the Sea Lion oil field, and elect Rupert Lowe, we'll almost be back on track, sounds like a plan.

Next time, we will be on our own, with zero help from the USA.

@Sargon_of_Akkad @AriFleischer @philthatremains If we glass Argentina, ramp up oil production in the sea lion field and elect rupert lowe, we'll almost be back on track, sounds like a plan.

@AriFleischer @philthatremains >we started a war >we didn't do any planning >we didn't build a coalition >we didn’t even warn our allies we were going to war >they didn't join us in the war They've sold us out!!!!

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.

@AriFleischer Is this guy off his head on crack, I need to get a copy of the history book he's been reading, i love a good fantasy.

@thinkdefence Is it finally time to field test these shoddy american nukes.

@matthewpoteet @realstewpeters Think what you want. I live here, Id be much more inclined to fight to defend a culture with shared values over a war in a desert shithole over oil or Israel.

@Dando2200 @realstewpeters There is no Anglosphere- UK is taken over by Indians and Muslims and America by Latin Americans.

Trump went out of his way to destroy our relationship with the United Kingdom, our longest-standing and most natural ally in American history.
