@DrInsensitive The real absurdity is if you travel through Geneva or Zurich, the security bins are full of tweezers and scissors… only so you can buy one of these in duty free…. This is not a joke aeliadutyfree.ch/geneva/en/bran…

@raihan_farhad @Mylovanov US cash… used to pay Ukrainian salaries, now it’s European cash
English

@Mylovanov US cash pays Ukrainian salaries, and everything Ukrainians makes. US should get everything for free from Ukraine, along of with lots of Ukrainian mail-order-brides, who are in bigger supply now.

@MissLauraMarcus Starmer is an idealist, a naive one at that who believes on that that the right course of action is the right one. He fails to grasp that other people and nations don’t fit this narrative.

@WarMonitor3 Thought the point of the deal trump made was that it was open?!

@b_gimpl1234 @woolyback39 Maybe we didn’t notice as there were literally only 14% the number of flights as today……

@bayrakmedya Bir değil birkaç tane mantık hatası var. Rüzgarın yönü ağaçlara farklı dumana farklı, yaz günü soba yakılması, Evin konumuna göre yolun yanlış olması ya da tam tersi. Arkada çorak arazide yeşil ağaçların olması vs. vs. Bir de şu evin duvarında ağaç dalı gibi bir şekil var ?

This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen.
From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation.
Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days.
More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine!
The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace.
Additionally, President Trump got
the Strait of Hormuz reopened.
Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace.

@chilternrailway thanks for comms… change to timetable, and a replacement bus service that leaves 6minutes before the scheduled departure and 10min walk away (kings Sutton).

🇮🇷🇺🇸👀 CNN: Satellite images show about 28 craters blasted into roads in Iran’s Esfahan province near where a downed US airman was rescued.
The craters, each about 9 meters wide, appear placed in a line to deliberately cut off road access.
They’re located roughly 20 km from a remote airstrip where US forces destroyed their damaged aircraft.
The strikes were likely carried out to block Iranian forces from reaching the area during the rescue operation.

@Mylovanov @SpencerGuard Trump clearly said he thought it would be a 3 day special operation
English

@bungarsargon @TrentTelenko You’ve totally missed the background…. Trump spent the last 2yrs insulting its allies, threatening to invade them, & cosying up with its enemy.
He then attacks Iran , no consultation with them (to organise defence) and is complaining they didn’t jump right in.

The chutzpah is staggering: Europe is whining about not being able to rely on the US at the exact moment Europe is demonstrating that the US can’t rely on them, depriving us of even minimal assistance in a battle against a global enemy of the West—which includes Europe, though they seem to have forgotten it.

@BenGrahamUK I’ve cut back on steak a lot (health reasons) over the last two years , looked to purchase one the other day and swear it’s double since then

@AriFleischer Apparently it’s entirely Europe’s fault for not sending troops to the Middle East. Maybe they are unexpectedly stationed in Greenland?!! nbcnews.com/world/greenlan…

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.

@esrtweet I agree with you, but… “you’ve” threatened to invade European territory, put tariffs on them, insulted them. didn’t consult them before this debarcle (even if just to arrange defence), said they weren’t needed as you’d won, then not won, then won, then insulted them again.

Hello, Europeans. The first thing you need to understand about the rant I'm about to utter is that I'm not MAGA, not a Trumpite, but a libertarian who has in the past nevertheless been strongly supportive of US military presence overseas. Because I want the wars that defend this country to be fought in somebody else's country, as far away from me as possible with a nice big ocean in the way.
Also relevant: I have a history of having lived in Europe and traveled there extensively. I was at one time bilingual in English and Spanish, and have been passably fluent in Italian and French as well. I could probably still find my way around London and Rome and central Paris reasonably well. So if you're tempted to tell yourselves that I'm some kind of parochial American hick, abandon that hope.
All that was set-up. So that, when I tell you that almost the entirety of the US electorate, not just Trump supporters, is increasingly fed up with your shit, take me seriously.
We've been cleaning up your messes and keeping the sea lanes open since 1917. And that was for you, not us - we, being very close to resource self-sufficient, don't need that investment so much. We've spent enormous amounts of blood and treasure on keeping you safe. We risked nuclear hellfire on our own cities for nearly 50 years to keep Soviet tanks from rolling through the Fulda Gap.
Even since the Cold War ended, we've subsidized your socialist-playpen welfare states and disastrous immigration policies by taking the need to maintain militaries more effective than a sack of wet farts off the table.
Now we've come looking for help keeping a bunch of rabid Islamic fanatics from getting nuclear weapons that are a clear and present danger to all of you even more than they are to us, and what do we hear?
"Waah! It's another Republican president we don't like, just like the last half dozen of them! So we're going to sulk in a corner, except when we're biting at your ankles with crap like airspace restrictions."
No. No, we're not going to take this anymore. It's not just conservatives who have had enough, it's moderates and people who used to be strong supporters of liberal internationalism.
Our citizen's willingness to pay higher taxes to protect you was upward-bounded by your gratitude. Now that we know your gratitude has effectively gone to zero, so does our willingness.
Don't expect this to change if the Democrats take power here. They are much less liberal-internationalist than Republicans now. While they might make mouth noises that soothe you, their overriding concern is the gaping, insatiable maw of their income transfer programs. They'll sacrifice subsidizing Europe's playpen socialism to feed their domestic version in a heartbeat. And there is no longer any significant Democratic constituency to argue against that.
In truth, three decades after the Cold War ended there is no American constituency at all for the massive subsidies you get. It frankly surprises me they lasted this long, that we were this patient with your cowardice and your bitchy whining.
This moment has been a long time coming. It's not Donald Trump sinking the transatlantic alliance, it is absolutely you.
