@OliLondonTV Who??? 😂😂

Actress Laura Benanti says she’s shocked that not a single person recognized her on a plane. “Not a single one of them recognized me and I could not tolerate that obviously.”

More than 1,000 international law experts (myself included) warn that U.S. strikes on Iran violate the U.N. Charter (no evidence that Iran posed an imminent threat that could justify a self-defense claim) and may be war crimes (attacks on civilian sites). trib.al/lyTCOJB

@DKSmyth1 @BrandonStraka Sooooooo… This is the problem??

The UN has been The national Town square since the end of World War II. Almost all countries on the planet are represented there. The UN is ground zero for solving world problems peacefully and assisting Nations in war or chaos. But their financial support should be equitably shared among all member nations. It is not. America should not be held responsible for the core financing of the UN. HOWEVER, I don't think UN funding is the real point of contention. The point of contention is that most member countries do not support the aggressive and International illegal policies and actions of the country of Israel, excepting only America. So is it wise to destroy the organization by defunding over the single issue of American support for The Zionist Israel?

UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns the organization faces collapse without continued U.S. funding, which contributes roughly $2.2 billion to its core budget. "the United Nations is on the brink of total collapse"

@BrandonStraka You don’t say…. 🤔

@Microinteracti1 TLDR

Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to. They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures. That is not how it works. Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America. Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf. Now imagine they hadn’t. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home. Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost. And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover. Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name. Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers. If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine. In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation. If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa. You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@PastorMarvy The UN??

Spain rejected the US UK rejected the US Austria rejected the US Germany rejected the US France rejected the US Poland rejected the US Canada rejected the US We are witnessing the collapse of a World Superpower!

@MAGAVoice They obviously don’t GAF about us or this Republic.

BREAKING 🚨 Senate Leader John Thune is finally back from vacation. Hes sending a DHS funding bill back to the House WITHOUT ICE Funding John Thune is a RINO TRAITOR FIRE THUNE

@D_Melissa2 Blame your government for not having reserves.

For all the Americans on here re petrol ⛽️ prices. Because of Trump, Australians are paying the equivalency of $8.50 à gallon!!! Your petrol price is $4.00 a gallon. This isn’t our war. Imagine how pissed off we are. We blame Trump.

@JimmyThomist You are OBVIOUSLY ignorant.

NATO’s European armies are more than twice the size of the US Army & Marines. Europe has about 1.5x the artillery, AFVs and Tanks, and out produces the US in artillery shells. Europe outnumbers Russia in every ground power category by about 2x. Europe will be fine.

In the next decade, over 1M Chinese communists will be able to vote in American elections. You heard me. Thanks to birth tourism, Chinese billionaires are paying surrogates to birth their children on U.S. soil so the babies are American citizens. The children are taken back to China after birth, raised as communists, then when they’re 18, they’re allowed to vote in U.S. elections. THAT is why birthright citizenship must end. 1M votes swings any election. Soon the Chinese communists will “legally” control our elections. Unless we end birthright citizenship.

Trump watches those spineless Euro cucks block our bases, deny airspace, and drag their feet like the gutless parasites they are… and drops one savage line: “Go get your own f*cking oil.” Within HOURS the rats scatter: - UK suddenly launches the grooming gangs probe they buried for years to shield their sacred migrants - UK torches “Non-Crime Hate Incidents” (RIP, you fascist thought-police scum) - Germany finally admits mass immigration is a catastrophe and their green cult nuclear shutdown was brain-dead suicide - Australia screams “FUEL EMERGENCY” in full panic mode Lmao. Amazing what happens when Daddy America yanks the safety net and these welfare queens finally feel the pavement. (article below)

@cmdibley At least you won’t catch a rogue nuke in six months.

Hey Americans on here chiding us in other countries for criticising Trump: he is our business. Petrol in Australia is in short supply & currently costs $2.48 p/l (that’s $9.37 p/gallon.) We didn’t bomb Iran. We are all suffering because of your stupid President.

@bluelivesmtr I’d we don’t fight this ideology, we are lost.

STOP EVERYTHING and watch this. This is the Palestinian Islamic scholar in Chicago, Ill. Mohammad Nusairat: “We did not come here to coexist. We are superior to everyone else and will not be surpassed. No one is above us. If other religions want to live with us, they have to worship Allah!” America is under attack... and they're already here. REPOST this URGENTLY. #thinblueline #lawenforcement

@EraOccidental @SariArhoHavren Which makes you a complete cuck.

@DPintheBoro @SariArhoHavren I'm American, you simp.

It is interesting how NATO's possible collapse is presented as solely Europe's problem, thereby justifying American pressure and threats on allies. In reality, a breakdown of NATO, an alliance of 32 members, would be a major strategic loss for the United States. The damage would not be limited to losing allies in Europe; as NATO gives Washington a large, institutionalised bloc of advanced economies and militaries that amplifies US power. If that structure unravelled, the US would lose a force multiplier at least across five main dimensions and would face : 1) harder military problems: The US would lose military access (the current situation with Spain, Italy and Poland gives a taste of what that would be like), and would lose interoperability and command advantages 2) higher budgetary burdens over time: removing the alliance architecture would force Washington to compensate for lost allied capability and lost access; allies would, in time, buy weapons from elsewhere; (it would be cheaper to repair the current rupture) 3) reduced geopolitical influence: US global credibility would be damaged far beyond Europe 4) greater economic exposure to European instability 5) weaker global deterrence against revisionist powers, which would not make the US homeland any safer The overall strategic impact would be severe, making the US considerably weaker diplomatically.

@yarotrof Good luck with your fuel crisis.

European nations will not go to war to open the Strait of Hormuz that has fallen under Iranian control because of a war that Trump launched without asking them for their opinion. A war that has dramatically damaged their own economies and security. If the SoH remains under Iranian rule after the war, the Europeans will conclude that America lost and Iran won, and will try to accommodate the winner to get access to the Gulf’s oil and gas. Japan, Korea etc will have the same incentives. And yes, for many Europeans, this is also about Memento Groenlandiae.

@joni_askola Maybe for the Czech Republic but definitely not for the United States.

Trump has been an absolute catastrophe. The damage is so undeniable that, in a few years, most of his current supporters will simply deny they ever backed him. The widespread pivot away from his legacy is going to be spectacular to watch

@EraOccidental @SariArhoHavren You don’t seem to understand that we don’t need your “defensive alliance.” You ignore us when we ask for compliance while we prevent a rogue nation for acquiring a nuke. Europe is weak and feckless. Use your own defense.

@DPintheBoro @SariArhoHavren You don't seem to understand what a defensive alliance is for.

@ArmchairAdml What, exactly do we “rely” on the UK for? You have overplayed your hand and forsaken your allies. Good luck protecting yourself. You’re weak. Not peaceful.

This is not the answer. Reminding them how much they rely on us, yes, but evicting the United States from RAF bases is a terrible idea. This administration won’t last forever.

@PeterHRatcliffe Liberal mindset. Protect yourself. The world isn’t peaceful.

If the average US citizen really understood Canada, really looked at how and why we are so different, they would want more of what Canada 🇨🇦 does for our people in their US. You don’t build great simply by calling yourself great. You build great quietly and politely together.

@XDex91 @HanShawnity Weak and entitled.

@HanShawnity The only meaningful contribution from NATO is basing and overflight permissions. The UK, with one of the most capable militaries in Europe, is smaller and less capable than the US Marine Corps. WE are their defense. And they criticize the manner in which we provide it.

NATO is a defunct alliance. It no longer serves our interests. These arrogant European countries take us for granted and think the alliance is supposed to be one sided. We are pouring in massive amounts of money while they refuse to live up to their spending commitments, and when we need their help, they'll actively put obstacles in our way. They'll micromanage our base operations and deny us airspace access. But then we're expected to immediately come to their defense when Communist countries like Spain and Muslim countries like the UK, France, and Turkey need us. It's just not worth it anymore. Let them fend for themselves.
