@TimesRadio @afneil Another Brit degrading Americans and America.
It’s time to sever relations with the UK.
They root for our failure.
They are the allies of Iran not the US.

“I don’t think they’re rushing to the peace table just yet.”
Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz is “more powerful” than a nuclear bomb, so it’s unlikely they will want to negotiate, especially as Trump continues “floundering”, says Times Radio presenter @afneil.
English

@esaagar It's where we are. Fuck NATO. They sit back and expect us to do all their dirty work. South Korea and Japan have been sucking US defense dry for 50 years as well and have done nothing to help when they depend on the Strait being open for their oil.

@MBurnsHWA @esaagar The United States of America 'is' globalism, numbnuts. You been living in a cave?
English

@esaagar Europe and Australia r a complete joke. We should without a doubt get out of NATO as the globalist objectives don't serve the US at any level and we foot the bill. Not sure why he trashed S.Korea and Japan, but the others good riddance. Let's c how he deals w/China

@GrahamSpiers The best of it was, nobody gave a shit about your updates then and unsurprisingly your 90% discounted pod casts now.

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

@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.

100,000 troops in Europe. Zero help on Hormuz. Bring them home now. No more free rides.

@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.
English

@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.

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

@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...

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

@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.

Stating the bloody obvious. Do you get paid for stating the obvious?
Matthew Stadlen@MatthewStadlen
Just catching up with the disgraceful scenes in Clapham this week. There obviously need to be serious consequences for this sort of outrageous and criminal behaviour. The police should make a lot of arrests and send out the message loud and clear that thuggery won’t be tolerated.
