@GadSaad @TheFive I've recently joined your side on this.

Someone whom I usually respect said on @TheFive today that Islam is very different from Islamism. He was very keen on highlighting the fact that he was speaking only about Islamism because ostensibly Islam is beautiful. Agreed. Cancer is fine. It's Cancerism that we have to worry about.

@ImBreckWorsham @Squill_Mama I cant handle someone this dumb. Im not even a follower and dipshit here just popped up on my feed. The United States of America hasn't givin Iran a single dollar for access to the strait and never will.

America is now being forced to pay a $2 million dollar toll to Iran for EACH and EVERY one of our oil tankers that pass through the Strait of Hormuz due to Trump's "deal." Know what it was before he ATTACKED them? ZERO. "Art of the Deal," my ass. No WONDER the guy kept going bankrupt.

@VeryBrexitProbs All those bases are there for European protection. This is something you dont seem to realize.

Trump thinks Europe needs NATO more than America does. His generals know better. Here’s what the US loses without it. 1. Its European base network Over 50 US military bases across Europe housing 84,000 troops. Ramstein in Germany is the largest US air base outside America and the hub for every US operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia. RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk is home to the only US F-35 wing in Europe, the same base the F-15 shot down over Iran last week flew from. These aren’t gifts to Europe. They are America’s front door to the rest of the world. 2. The geography it can never replace The US sits thousands of miles from every major conflict zone on earth. Europe puts American forces within striking distance of the Middle East, North Africa, the Sahel, the Arctic and Russia’s western border. No aircraft carrier replaces an entire continent. Without European bases America is projecting power across two oceans from a single landmass. That is not a superpower posture, it is an island. 3. Its intelligence network GCHQ, MI6 and European intelligence agencies feed directly into US operations. Five Eyes gives America more global surveillance reach than any other arrangement in history. Lose NATO and that pipeline closes. 4. Two allied nuclear powers The UK and France have independent nuclear arsenals. Outside NATO those weapons are no longer guaranteed to be on America’s side. That is two fewer nuclear powers in your corner. 5. Its arms export market European NATO members are America’s biggest weapons customers. F-35s, Apaches and Patriot missiles, hundreds of billions in contracts. If Europe goes it alone they buy European. Lockheed Martin and Boeing lose their biggest export market overnight. 6. The dollar’s global dominance NATO helps underpins the security order that keeps allies trading in dollars and holding dollar reserves. Collapse that alliance and the shift to alternative currencies accelerates. No single advantage matters more to American prosperity. 7. A trillion-dollar insurance policy 31 other countries have a legal obligation to fight for America if attacked. The only time Article 5 was ever triggered was to defend the US after 9/11. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan answering that call. No other country on earth has anything close to this. 8. Its seat at the head of the table NATO makes America the leader of the free world. Without it the US is just another big country with a big army stranded between two oceans with no allies. China and Russia would celebrate for a decade.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Without NATO, America doesn’t gain independence. It loses an empire.

@BBCWorld Work by who? Certainly the Brits aren't involved in any way. They cant even defend the channel anymore.

Starmer says much work remains to make US-Iran ceasefire hold bbc.in/4dwjkRX

@theblaze He's not wrong.

Trump: “NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN.”

@mikedoerfler @BritishBastardX @Keir_Starmer Never.

@BritishBastardX @Keir_Starmer So, when you going to stop electing those leaders?

🚨 Putin has sent a warship to escort sanctioned Russian vessels through the English Channel after Keir Starmer threatened to seize them. Do you understand how weak we look right now? @Keir_Starmer

@BritishBastardX @Keir_Starmer When the Russians invade Europe, I just want the Europeans to know that America will be wishing them the best of luck.

@TheInsiderPaper Not his business, right?

BREAKING 🚨 France President Macron tells Trump, Iran president ceasefire must include Lebanon

@isaacrrr7 Not letting America to even fly out of the bases that Americans pay for was a terrible move. You didn't have to participate, but damn not even letting America fly over your country was just a dick move.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 ÚLTIMA HORA: Donald Trump evalúa trasladar tropas de Italia, Francia, España y Alemania hacia Rumanía, Polonia, Lituania y Grecia porque considera que los primeros no apoyaron lo suficiente el esfuerzo militar de EE.UU. en la guerra con Irán. - WSJ

@RepMariaSalazar How about no?

Amnesty is a free pass. It is what exists now. With the DIGNITY Act, you come forward, you face the law, you pass background checks, you pay what you owe, and you earn your place or you get deported. Criminals? Gone. 
American workers? Protected. Our national security depends on it. Our economy demands it. Our communities need it. And yes, our faith calls us to do this the right way, with order and accountability. That’s enforcement. That’s DIGNITY. Calling this amnesty is a lie that keeps a broken system alive and Americans paying the price.

@IranArmyMedia We know. Ain't it awesome😆

Dear Americans, Your president is a madman.

@JimFergusonUK I wish the the good people of the UK nothing but the best. However, its time to part ways.

🚨 STAND WITH AMERICA — BUT STOP THE DOUBLE GAME Let’s be clear: Britain should stand with the United States. Our closest ally. Our strongest partner. When they act— we don’t sit on the fence. But right now? Starmer is trying to play both sides. First blocking base access— then quietly allowing it under “defensive” language. That’s not strength. That’s hesitation. Because once British bases are used— We are in. Fully. So stop the legal wordplay. Stop the political balancing act. If we stand with America— Then stand properly. Decisively. Openly. Without apology. Because in moments like this— Half-measures don’t work. They just make you look weak.

@White_Crayon_00 @planefag Fuck off and pay for your own defense. I hope your grandchildren are speaking Russian.

@planefag Jeez you guys are so dramatic. They really hurt your feelings didn't they? Here you are making scenarios for their demise and all we did was boo you at a hockey game. You'll get over it.

During the Falklands war, the US was prepared to "loan" the USS Iwo Jima to England, complete with a "merchant marine" crew. Ask us how willing we are to loan them a carrier now. I didn't want it to come to this point either but, man.

@planefag Fuck the Brits. Im with Argentina. Bet Trump is too.

@agusantonetti Brilliant🤣

🇨🇴🇸🇻 AHORA — El presidente de El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, le ofrece enviar el 100% de toda su población carcelería a Colombia, luego de que Gustavo Petro dijera que son “presos políticos inocentes” y están siendo maltratados en sus cárceles. Al momento no hay respuesta de Petro.

@sarobertsonca This is why nobody will remember your name.

PM Carney on Emmanuel Macron's comments about Trump's approach to the Iran war: "I support President Macron's statement in the sense that this is a serious situation that affects the lives of families and children, the lives of civilians, war and peace."

@SandyofCthulhu Trump is looking for a 51st state. I hear the Falklands are nice, especially this time of year.

1) the Falklands were originally illegally seized from Argentina in 1833. BUT they have been British ever since. 2) throughout the 1960s and 70s, Argentina negotiated in good faith to trade ownership. They offered concessions, such as “Falklanders won’t have to serve in rhe army.” The British teams all recommended the transfer. Each UK government punted it to the next. Was Argentina right to invade? Of course not. The Falklanders’ opinion should be taken into account! Plus the major reason for the attack was because the junta was looking for distractions. But I can’t help but think that it would be cheapest for Argentina to pay each Falklander a million dollars (costing about 3.5 billion) to move away.

@JustElliot2 Let's hope

I think the United States is headed for an ugly divorce from Europe and I have to say, I think it’s long overdue.

@Real_Politik101 Chances are Trump backs Argentina. The Monroe doctrine applies here.

If NATO is gone, Argentina is definitely invading to retake the Falkland Islands. With Chagos, Starmer completely torched the deterrence Thatcher built with the last war. And Milei could easily take it. Britain can’t do anything. No ships. Now all of LATAM now recognizes Malvinas as Argentina’s. With them also becoming one of America’s most loyal ally, chances are high the U.S. stays out and lets it happen

@WarMonitor3 Monroe doctrine applies. America backs Argentina.

Chile has just backed Argentinas renewed claims on the British Falkland Islands. Good luck with that...
