@JMitchDouglas @ZoomerHistorian No only a Trump like neofascist would have allowed Hitler to grab more countries, or believed any promises Hitler would have made. Edward V111 might have been that stupid but he had been got rid of,

@ZoomerHistorian The more jaded I am by US war lies in my own time, looking back its hard not to posit that Chamberlain was the true patriot who cared about peace while Churchill was an arrogant, bellicose warpig who betrayed Europe for his ego, $ and power...sadly DJT is following suit.

Neville Chamberlain was a prudent politician who wanted to keep out of foreign squabbles that didn’t concern us, knowing full well that such a war might destroy our Empire and place in the world. Sadly there was far too much pressure on him (from paid warmongers like Churchill) to keep us out.

@Zesty_King3 @ZoomerHistorian What's he meant to do about it.? Go to war with a tiny obsolete army, and an RAF flying Gladiators and the first few Hurricanes?

But he was also a fool to believe that the dictator who broke the terms of the Treaty of Versailles was going to uphold the terms of another treaty made with the same powers. You could argue that he was just buying time, but if that's true then that means he purposefully let Hitler have the Saarland, Austria, the Sudetenland, Bohemia and Moravia, and the Memel District.

@ZoomerHistorian He also had moral values and unlike the British fascists knew right from wrong.

@PCeee63 @PolitlcsUK Except that Trump has the means to block Putin now. Chamberlain didnt have the forces even for self defence until 1940. Trump just seems to admire Putin as a role model and has no moral values.

@PolitlcsUK Ironic because it is Trump's foreign policy that is the very appeasement of dictators that Chamberlain is criticized for.

🚨 WATCH: Donald Trump appears to compare Keir Starmer to Neville Chamberlain "The UK has a long way to go. We don't want another Neville Chamberlain"

@ravimendis @PolitlcsUK Or Boris and the Brexit lies and dumb assumptions,

@PolitlcsUK Trump compares Starmer to the worst Prime Minister in British history, or the person widely regarded to be. (Perhaps we haven't considered Liz Truss, Theresa May and Rishi Sunak)?

@sib313 @PolitlcsUK Britain wasn't ready for war in 1938, Putting it off and building up our defences was necessary, and it worked - just -in 1940. Biden was just timid, and Trump seems to see Putin as his role model,..

@PolitlcsUK Not a very literate comparison. Chamberlain's worst error was giving away Czech land to Hitler without even consulting the Czechs. This is basically US policy for Ukraine.

@BermudaBat @PolitlcsUK @Keir_Starmer The Conservatives cut for 14 years & are not going to clear up their mess.Farage is our far right Orban obsessed with inventing an enemy within.The Liberals are not serious .And the Greens seem to want disarmament & no NATO -which Moscow would love. Its Starmer or nothing.

The Defence Investment Plan & the Defence Readiness Bill will be delivered late, while @Keir_Starmer talks a big game on UK defence spending outside of the UK, if anyone believes increasing defence spending by April 2027 to 2.6% will solve the issues of our armed forces, give your head a massive wobble.. Starmer, @RachelReevesMP @JohnHealey_MP & @uklabour are failing our armed forces!!

@PolitlcsUK Starmer followed international law which doesn't like preemptive wars -a claim anyone can make.When Iran stupidly attacked UK bases,troops& Sunni allies,with no excuse,Starmer let UK bases be used for defensive operations.Trump has no idea how reliant he is on that, legal,help.

@FlankedJose @TreyYingst It looks like the sort of incompetence you will get when you appoint know nothing idiots to lead the CIA, and you have a President who changes policy multiple times a day??

@TreyYingst How about afterwards!? Iranians have been waiting impatiently to take back to the streets since the massacre. Those guns could've levelled the battlefield. It's no surprise though. The separatist Kurd groups are in kahoots with the regime, and they hate Iranian Kurds.

Some Kurdish factions are responding to the remarks from President Trump. "We did not receive any weapons during the time of the demonstrations in Iran," Hejar Berenji, PDKI Representative to the USA told Fox News. Fox also reached out to additional Kurdish parties for comment.

@RpsAgainstTrump Indeed. Changing the regime leaders does nothing when the replacements think the same or are worse. They may well be worse and angry. Trump is dreaming up an argument for declaring a win and running away?

Trump: We've had total regime change. The people there now are much more reasonable than the lunatics you had in phase one…I think most people are giving us credit for that Fact check: Completely false. It’s the same regime.

@clashreport He means sorties. Multiple stages, long operation, multiple aircraft being replaced on station and specialist aircraft arriving in theatre. All that= lots of aircraft involved.All to rescue 2 crew, save them from Iranians,and deny Iran a single victory.

Trump on Iran rescue operation: The second rescue mission involved 155 aircraft: 4 bombers, 64 fighters, 48 refueling tankers, 13 rescue aircraft and more.

@SZTH264 They want to hear bombs blowing up the regime leaders and the internal security force that's killing Iranians. They don't mind if the regime nuclear sites get blown up too. They don't want what Trump rants about -bombing power supplies, bridges or them and now can't trust him

🇺🇸⚡️🇮🇷 Trump: When the Iranian people don’t hear bombs, they get upset. They want to hear the bombs, because they want to be free

@looking4poetry @Regulator_40000 @TheFl0orIsLaVa As is UK. The issue is when defending the Sunni, and western troops assisting Sunni states against terrorists, requires dealing with the Iranian Shia fundamentalists attacking them. Supporting the US with its ever changing motivation and threats is another more difficult step.

@Regulator_40000 @TheFl0orIsLaVa Nato is not related to Israel nor Middle-East nor USofA's intents of conquering Ormuz or Kharg Island. You accuse us to be cherry-picking, but France has security deals with a few countries of the Middle-East and is currently fighting against the Iranian drone attacks for them.

@CensoredHumans Question is why he wants more money for defence.Its not to defend allies.Or contain his buddy Putin.Or to change awful regimes in Iran.He seems to see China as a threat?He loves his Golden Dome -an impossible boondoggle. So does he think he can get nuclear supremacy & become God?

🇺🇸Marco Rubio on Monday: “Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military” 🇺🇸Trump on Wednesday: “We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military” 🇮🇷 Iran has made them lose their minds.

@Melbana222 @Beefeater_Fella & its using RAF Mildenhall for tankers & its UK base at Lakenheath- that's where the crashed F15E redeployed from. Even Spain's far left government hasn't stopped the US sending destroyers from there to defend Israel. & US KC135 refuelers have used several other European bases.

@Beefeater_Fella Rubio is doing what he has a natural aptitude to do - lie. The US is using bases in Europe in its war against Iran including Ramstein Air Base (Germany), RAF Fairford (UK), RAF Akrotiri (Cyprus) and Sigonella Naval Air Station (Italy). Also Indian Ocean island Diego Garcia (UK).

The son of illegal Cuban immigrants and spineless trump sycophant opines on NATO: "If Russia attacks them, we can discuss whether we have time to help," said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, discussing NATO, which does not help Washington in the war with Iran. According to him, if the EU does not allow the use of bases that the US maintains and finances for their defense when needed, they will close them and withdraw their troops from Europe. Want to know why you shouldn’t believe a word this creep utters? See the next tweet. 1/2

@Beefeater_Fella Why is he backing Trump?Trump is now doomed. Does he think theres enough dumb Americans who will blame Europe even though most allies helped in some way? Or vote for a Trump 2? Better to shut up & watch Trump humiliate himself &;take the Vance's,Millers and Hegseths down with him

@DrBMCzentovic @neyikaybettik Trump has effectively put up a sign on America saying idiots in charge, do not feed -trade, or intelligence. Never trust .Don't let it out to do more damage. So don't let it use its current forward allied bases to go anywhere.Trump doesn't know who helped or not, so just say no.

@neyikaybettik Trump ABD'nin tek başına bütün dünyayı yenebileceğini düşünerek herkesi birden karşısına aldı ve ABD'nin kabadayı imajını yok etti. Sadece istihbarat yardımı alan İran'ı bile kolayca dize getiremeyerek bütün büyüyü bozdu.

🚨 İTALYA BAŞBAKANI MELONİ’DEN, TRUMP’A BÜYÜK KAPAK! Donald Trump: “— NATO, Amerika olmadan sıfırdır!” İtalyan Başbakanı Meloni: “—Harika!.. O zaman üslerinizi mi kapatalım, ticareti mi keselim yoksa McDonald's'a mı baskın yapalım?” Donald Trump tüm dünyaya rezil olmaya devam ediyor! Ve böyle devam ederse iyice batacak! Helal olsun Meloni! 👏🏻

@neyikaybettik She has smarts.America has a leader who thinks the US can manage without allies, shared intelligence and intelligence gathering bases, trading partners, military bases it can use when it does have a case, and others that enable it to get anywhere. Italy provides all of those.

@_InfoGram_ Idiocy from Trump. The nuclear deterrent deters anyone trying to kill millions of Americans, Trump has intention of deterring attacks on allies. So he wants to kill millions by cutting Medicaid. And spend it on ?? A Golden Dome that wont work,causes an arms race & isn't needed

BREAKING🚨: Trump is EXPOSED 🔥 🇺🇸Trump YESTERDAY: "We cannot afford Medicaid for every American. We don't have that much money" 🇺🇸Trump TODAY: Trump Asks Congress whopping $1.5 Trillion for War😭 Imagine the priority. No one exposes him better than himself🔥

@nicholadrummond Useless without a substrategic nuclear deterrent unless you rely on France to deter everything. No one sane uses our few Tridents & exposes the sub to fire back if Russia hits our troops in Estonia some airbase in the fields.Thats why ALL nuclear powers have substrategic forces,

20 UK DEFENCE INVESTMENT PRIORITIES 1. Rebuild munition stockpiles across all three services 2. Ensure that the Dreadnought SSBN programme is delivered on schedule 3.
