@SocialMike @campbellclaret If you research more, youll know that the Bush neocons are aligned with the London financial system. Trump is not Bush. Or Carter. Or any of the other Presidents that sold us out for personal gain. Although he is doing other things for personal gain. Im not defending that.

The US pulling out of NATO was part of the plan all along ... Putin’s plan that is. He just got lucky with who he helped to make US president. It really is time for Europe to get serious about the withdrawal of the US from credible global leadership or reliable alliance

American forces didn't help British troops in the Falkland Isles, Northern Ireland or Sierra Leone. British forces didn't support the USA in the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia or Loas. Neither country has any divine right to expect support from the other. Trump is off his rocker.

@DuceLopez2 @campbellclaret Well, you're forgetting the Falklands war, which the US didn't join. But the UK didn't hold any gripes, It the first to join the war in Afghanistan, oh, and the fake war in Iraq, which cost lots of lives. Had this been an attack on the US, the UK woulda been there, trust

@SocialMike @campbellclaret No ego. Just aware of the facts. Our country has been living under the thumb of the British rule for too long. Thanks to the greed of our politicians. I don't give a free pass to the US. Nor do I blame the citizens of Europe. But that wasn't this President. He's doing whats right

@campbellclaret The US is the global leader. We just tossed all the wanna be kings. Now the UK is just a little island. Wasn't Putins fault the Monarchy used our country for years. If the US and Russia didnt save Europe, Hitler would have been in charge. Ungrateful so called allies.

No, Putin doesn't get credit. We (as Americans) just see it for what it is: an alliance with cowards that won't pay their fair share ... to protect their own countries. The only real ally is Poland, and we'll set them up as the LNG hub for those of you in need. We have plenty of everything. No worries. Now go make something of value.

@RomanianUSA @Topstep The more convoluted it is, the more difficult to make money. And 6-months in the RTP?! I'd like to see the stats that show more profitable traders because of all these "helpful" rules

Nobody is picking this up because @Topstep doesn’t do affiliates anymore so there’s nothing to gain for them. If you read through it, it’s actually meant to help traders and not limit them. Some people truly just need consistency limits and daily loss limits to advance and that’s okay. I do like this change from them, great work @MichaelPatak, it does feel like you’ve listened to the feedback! 🫶🤝

@_InfoGram_ The EU decline to help because they are in range of attack and weak. I understand their position and why they decline but if one country in the EU is attacked I don't think they can rely on the other EU countries they will need the US. The EU are playing poker with a pair of 2's!

🚨 Not "absolute cinema" or metal spine — it's a risky cave to domestic pressure and short-term politics. 🔥 Giorgia Meloni, once hailed as Europe's strongest conservative voice and a Trump ally, has drawn a hard line: Italy will not join or directly support the US-Israel military campaign against Iran. She has publicly stated Italy "does not take part and does not intend to take part" in the war, criticized the strikes as operating "outside the scope of international law," and her government recently denied permission for US military aircraft to land at Sigonella air base in Sicily when flight plans linked them to Middle East operations. When Trump pointed out the obvious — NATO is zero without America — the viral clapback attributed to her ("Cool… so should we shut down your bases, cut trade, or just storm McDonald’s?") plays well on social media, but the real policy is more measured: Italy says it will honor existing bilateral agreements for US bases (logistics only, not offensive strikes) and hasn't received a formal request for combat use. Any major shift would need parliamentary approval. The bigger picture Meloni and the "spine" crowd ignore: - Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, racing toward nuclear breakout, arming Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and attacking shipping. The campaign targets nuclear sites, missile capabilities, and terror infrastructure after years of proxies launching Oct 7-style barbarism and threats to close the Strait of Hormuz. - US bases in Italy (Sigonella, Aviano, etc.) exist because America has shouldered the heavy lifting for European security for decades — including against Soviet threats and now radical Islamism. Threatening to restrict them mid-conflict while Europe still relies on US deterrence sends the wrong signal to adversaries like Iran, Russia, and China. - Meloni is also providing some defensive air assets to Gulf states hit by Iranian retaliation and protecting Italian citizens/troops in the region. That's prudent self-interest, but refusing transit/logistics help for the side actually degrading the threat weakens collective leverage. Trump's "NATO is zero without America" isn't an insult — it's a fact. The US spends far more on defense, provides the nuclear umbrella, and projects power that keeps sea lanes open and Europe safe. Expecting Washington to handle Iran (which threatens global energy and European economies too) while allies block bases, overflights, and burden-sharing is the real freeloading. True leadership confronts existential threats head-on instead of hedging for UN applause, domestic polls, or fear of escalation. Israel and the US are dismantling a regime that chants "Death to America/Israel" and funds global jihad. Weakening that effort with procedural blocks or "international law" lectures (while Iran violates every norm) doesn't bring peace — it invites more chaos. Meloni's shift risks turning a reliable partner into just another European voice prioritizing optics over outcomes. America First means no more blank checks: allies who benefit from US power should contribute when it counts, not complicate operations against a shared threat. Alliances work both ways. Strength deters. Freeloading and selective outrage embolden enemies. What do you think — principled restraint or dangerous signal to Iran that the West is divided and hesitant? Drop facts and real analysis below. Reality over viral memes. 🇺🇸🇮🇱💪 #Meloni #Trump #Iran #NATO #Sigonella

@bhoyian @RidgeandFrost @AnnaJonesSky @WilfredFrost Well whomever said that was right. But there was a load of BS spurted about oil in that campaign. There's still oil down there, will be for decades, but it's difficult oil and can't be extracted at a sufficient rate to make a real sustainable dent.

@RidgeandFrost @AnnaJonesSky @WilfredFrost I don't believe his number but don't have space to explain why. That aside, even if right, what he deliberately avoided saying is the price at which it's economically-viable to extract needs to remain high.

@atrupar The Strait of Hormuz accounts for 20% of the world's oil. The US cannot afford to pay for the entire navy forever. Britain, Japan, France, and China send ships and share the load. Stop taking free rides.

@SkyNews Businesses want tax cuts. It’s the only way they will grow and the only way people will spend money but this Labour government is so ideologically driven it will never happen. They would rather see the country burn than give hard-working people their money back.

@SkyNews starmer telling uk business chiefs economic response to iran war needs "joint effort" is admission government can't handle it alone. if uk leadership is asking private sector to bail out economy, institutional money knows fiscal crisis is spreading to allies. contagion is real.
