@boomer_ish @sussexlivi942 All i see here is the proof that EU has better resilience than UK, at every stage of the crisis' UK has been trending higher that EU

@sussexlivi942 Like the gold Brown sold 😂 But you gold tories to account for global events don’t you. Explain this. Post 24. What changed. Labour.

Labour plan all along. Wreck the economy Blame Brexit. Ignore democracy. Become a rule taker by the back door.

@RebelHQ @StephanProwell Your businesses get friction free access to the biggest trade block in the world, thats exactly how you boost your economy

@StephanProwell So tell me the EU country we want to emulate, that is doing so well economically? It's like saying if we rejoin we could be top of division 2.

Over half the country voted for Brexit. Of those that voted to remain, most accept the result. Most understand the division trying to sneak back in causes will be greater than any gain. Starmer wants an EU Commission job & pension when he gets the boot - that's what it's about.

@brave_romania How did Latvia managed to get on the top? The rest should learn from them

🇷🇺 Russia's latest Top 10 "unfriendly countries" ranking (Vzglyad outlet, points index): 1. 🇱🇻 Latvia (90) 2. 🇱🇹 Lithuania, 🇫🇮 Finland, 🇪🇪 Estonia (85) 3. 🇩🇪 Germany, 🇫🇷 France (75) 4. 🇧🇪 Belgium (70) 5. 🇳🇱 Netherlands, 🇺🇸 USA (60) 6. 🇬🇧 UK, 🇪🇸 Spain, 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇵🇹 Portugal, 🇷🇴 Romania (55) 7. 🇮🇹 Italy, 🇨🇦 Canada, 🇸🇪 Sweden (50) 8. 🇧🇬 Bulgaria (45) 9. 🇦🇺 Australia, 🇬🇷 Greece, 🇩🇰 Denmark, 🇳🇿 New Zealand (40) 10. 🇱🇺 Luxembourg, 🇳🇴 Norway, 🇲🇰 North Macedonia, 🇭🇷 Croatia, 🇨🇿 Czechia (35) The ranking reflects perceived hostility toward Russia.

@RachelD1892 I thought he was the president of peace, no more wars etc. also moral clarity? from a pedo? he doesnt even have clarity on his own thoughts, they flip with the wind direction

The difference between President Trump, his predecessors, and current western leaders, is COURAGE. He has shown the moral clarity to deal with the Islamist terror state of Iran. In stark contrast, Starmer is a moral vacuum, a weak appeaser.

@Vince_Noir77 @ianmiles @realDonaldTrump not even @realDonaldTrump is an American ally, doesnt take a lot to realize that

@ianmiles France, UK, Spain are not America ally & despise @realDonaldTrump. They using #Iran war to destroy Trumps presidency by proxy. Their ideology of mass-migration, end of the west that Democrats were pushing for is end game. Trump needs to wake up to this. This bigger than #Iran.

A realignment is happening right now and Europe is standing on the wrong side of history.

@Harrisbro777 Nice built up to bullshit. Countries already trading oil and other goods in non dollar currencies

🚨 IRAN JUST OFFERED EUROPE A HORMUZ DEAL. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨 On the surface: Iran offered the EU transit access through the Strait of Hormuz. Sounds like a small diplomatic move. Standard geopolitics. It is not. This is a goddamn financial nuclear bomb. Let that sink in. 💀 The Hormuz Strait carries 20% of ALL the world's oil consumption 💀 Europe's energy bill jumped $16.2 BILLION in just 30 days of war 💀 Natural gas in Europe is up 100%. Oil up 60%. Diesel at $200/barrel 💀 Dollar reserves have already fallen from 70% to 56.9% in 25 years 💀 Iran joined BRICS in 2024. Russia banned dollar transactions. Gold hit $5,500/oz ⚠️ If Europe takes this deal, they pay in euros — not dollars ⚠️ One major non-dollar oil deal is all it takes to show the world it CAN be done Do you understand the scale of what's happening? ⚠️ The petrodollar is the most powerful financial system ever created. Born in 1974. It forced every nation on Earth to hold dollars just to buy oil. That's the entire basis of US financial dominance. Not strength. Not trust. OIL. ⚠️ If that system cracks — BRICS accelerates, Gulf states reconsider, dollar demand collapses, and America can no longer fund its $34 trillion debt on easy terms. The US doesn't lose a battle. It loses the WAR — the financial one it's been winning since 1974. ⚠️ ECB board member Panetta said it on April 2: "Even if the Iran war ends, the damage has been done." Deutsche Bank called the Iran war a "catalyst" for yuan replacing the petrodollar. They're showing you a war about nuclear weapons and regional security. They're NOT showing you that the REAL war is over who gets to print the world's reserve currency. Here's the logic — follow it carefully: → Iran blocks Hormuz for the US. Opens it for EU with a deal. → EU, desperate and bleeding, seriously considers taking the deal. → Deal gets done in euros or yuan. Not dollars. → Every country watching — BRICS, Global South, Gulf states — sees it happen. → "If the EU can bypass the dollar, so can we." → Dollar demand falls. Reserve share collapses. US inflation rises. → You didn't just lose a trade route. You lost the dollar's 50-year monopoly on global trust. If America is so powerful and the dollar is so safe, why is the EU considering a deal with the country America is bombing? If Western unity is so solid, why did 40 countries meet to reopen Hormuz and achieve absolutely nothing? Complete silence. This is no longer just a Middle East war. This is a direct attack on the petrodollar — the system that powers the entire American empire. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 This post is being throttled. Like + RT to keep it alive. ⚠️

@GBNT1952 Many countries have nukes doesnt mean that we are going to be used in an attack. Not even NK have tried this so far... You want to pre-emptively attack a country? You ask your allies for help before you go in and fuck it up.

So, Iran was absolutely close to having a nuke (as it has been confirmed they had large amounts of 60% enriched uranium) and they had secret ICBM capabilities that could allow them to reach out to London or Paris… why hasn’t the EU and UK publicly thanked us for saving them once again?

@catturd2 - Cant pull out - Bases are not shops to just close them, they are there for a reason - Never did - Lose more money than you already do - Still waiting for the F22s... Technology is sold not shared. Lose even more money... - Fine but you have way more enemies - They already do

- Pull out of NATO. - Close all bases and remove all military personal from the UK, Germany, Spain, and France. - Never protect these countries again. - Stop all trade with these countries. ZERO. - Refuse to share any military technologies and don't allow to them to buy any military equipment. Ever. - Don't share any intelligence with them. NONE. - Tell them they have to provide 100% of weapons and money to Ukraine. - Cut them off completely.

@its_Lexieroy Putting aside the things that Trump have said for the alliance and individual countries. He literly said we dont need them

🚨 HOLY CRAP! SecWar Pete Hegseth just dropped a truth nuke on NATO “You don't have much of an ALLIANCE if you have countries that are not willing to STAND with you when you need them!” NATO is officially on notice. President Trump never forgets.

@implausibleblog I love the fact that Russia is not even part in a conversation anymore. Macron talks a good talk but needs to deliver one day

President Macron scolds the US and Israel for attacking Iran, "The day you say I don't like your regime, I consider you threatening your neighbour so I will intervene and bomb you, you open a Pandora's box" "Iran is a very bad regime, no discussion about that. I disagree with on a lot of topics" "But I don't agree we will fix the situation just by bombings or military operations" "Look at what happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya - we never delivered. Never" "You have to respect the sovereignty of people, if people want to change a regime, they can do so" "Having an agenda shared by Korea, France, the other Europeans, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil, Australia, you start having a third way" "Those who don't want to be dependent on China, or aligned by definition, on the US"

@w000369487253 @mindjitsu @DavidD_Chapman this is new level of delusion

@mindjitsu @DavidD_Chapman I don’t think they get it … if we’re out of NATO we can sell weapons and do business with Russia And when Putin wants to take the Baltics to connect Kaliningrad then… fuckem. Not our problem

I'm so tired of these Euro Trash back stabbing so-called Allies. It's time the US withdraw from NATO and let Russia just take Europe.

@MagnusE15579 @MsMelChen Ill give you same level of superficial cause as you did, Serbia. I thought the strikes last summer were succesful on stopping their nuclear program or at least that was the intel until February. Again my problem is not taking out the Iranian regime my problem is the attitude

@TheCuriousEvan @MsMelChen Gulf war was started by Iraq. Libya was a French War. Afghanistan was started by Al Qaeda. Iraq was started by the US. What if Iran was very close to having nuclear weapons? That is the intel the US has had for a long time. Who stared the war in the Balkans in the 1990s?

Let’s be real here. Europe has spent decades freeloading on American security. Even now, with every NATO member finally hitting the 2% GDP target in 2025. But beyond the financial contributions, the real rupture is philosophical and the Iran crisis has shown a spotlight on it. Europe worships process. Endless committees, consultations, and “predictability.” Macron actually calls it a virtue. For Trump, this is paralysis as his style is to articulate a threat, fix a target, and act. The Americans are men of conviction and purpose. Europe on the other hand lives by bureaucratic liturgy and in high-minded abstractions. Sure, Americans might make mistakes when acting. But Europe never considers what the costs of not acting actually are. Just look at how their nations are doing on various fronts, especially on the border crisis, and you see the same cancerous rot that undergirds their foreign policy approach play out domestically. It's the same problem on a different scale. Iran is currently holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, choking 20% of global oil and spiking prices past $100 a barrel. Meanwhile, the regime is bleeding from strikes, its nuclear ambitions are still alive despite degraded capability, and its proxies are firing missiles at allies and oil tankers. If this isn’t a clear and present danger to the global economy - of which Europe is a part - then I don’t know what is. Yet when Washington asked to use European bases to finish the job - bases the US has defended for generations, the response was hesitation and hand-wringing. The US did strike from RAF Fairford, but only after warnings that British soil could become a “legitimate target.” If you cannot agree that a theocratic regime with eschatological ambitions who have shown no restraint in hitting out at Gulf countries and threatening the world’s energy jugular is an enemy worth confronting, then what, exactly, are we allies about? Europe loves to preen about being tough on Russia. They issue condemnations and speeches and slap sanctions that hardly work to cripple the Russian economy. Now here was a chance to do something concrete: let the Americans use the bases they already pay for, help clear the Strait, and actually degrade the Iranian war machine that arms Moscow’s proxies. Turmp didn’t ask for boots on the ground or any kind of more offensive action. All he wanted was permission to operate from the infrastructure America has underwritten for decades. They couldn’t even manage that. So can you blame the Americans for seeing NATO for what it is? A paper-tiger alliance that expects Washington to bleed and pay while Brussels and London convenes and deliberates. If Europe refuses to treat Iran as the threat it is while happily letting American power keep the Strait open and the lights on, then the alliance is already dead. Trump is simply stating the obvious and the Americans are becoming very reluctant to subsidize the European delusion any longer.

@TIMCumm88602720 @Dulloldguy @realMAG1775 So you agree that Europe should be applying the same principle on US wars right? No hard feelings for not helping with Iran

@Dulloldguy @realMAG1775 I'm a firm believer in cutting off all support to Ukraine. That's proven to be a very expensive waste of money. It's time to stop supporting Europe in every way. It's not our concern.

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

@TIMCumm88602720 @Dulloldguy @realMAG1775 Im not sure which of the sentences could be focused on you, not even replying to a comment of yours. I am clearly talking about your administration

@TheCuriousEvan @Dulloldguy @realMAG1775 If you're trying to upset me you're not. I was in the military when I had a need to know I knew. I don't have a need to know so I don't know. As for everything else you're just throwing insults that won't affect me whatsoever.

@ThinkPrague @18Wiltonrow @RasmusJarlov thanks, these are correctly calculated projections on assumed fixed variables. The reality is that we are closer on the modest scenario. From there you will have to define at which level religion affects the local culture, muslim is a very wide category from modest to fanatics

@TheCuriousEvan @18Wiltonrow @RasmusJarlov pewresearch.org/religion/2017/…

In the future, there will be three major powers in the world: China, USA, EU. Neutral countries will move as much as possible towards the EU as their preferred partner because both China and the USA treat other countries disrespectfully and try to extort them. Europe will be the only great power and market to turn to if you want to have an equal and fair relationship. Canada is already moving towards Europe for this exact reason. India and Japan will also form a closer relationship with Europe. This is what soft power means. MAGA replies in the comment section will prove the point.

@dailybritainonx It's common sense that Brexit was a ploy to tear down Britain and the EU. Now we’re living the same experience with NATO. It's Groundhog Day all over again and Putin is rubbing his hands again

Keir Starmer is pushing for deeper EU ties again amid global instability - is this common sense or a Brexit betrayal? 🇬🇧🇪🇺

@Dulloldguy @realMAG1775 They dont respect allies, 3rd countries, their own miliary personel, some dont even respect their underage girls in that goverment...

@realMAG1775 Troops require their government to move, they are not toys of american government. You move yours and we will choose when to move ours.

@justdanieljames @realMAG1775 they cry just to cry and polarize

@realMAG1775 I don't understand why thumbs is hard. Stop crying & bring the troops home. Conservatives act like these other countries are holding our troops hostage.

@Real_Politik101 You are kind of contradicting yourself and follow a thought path that makes no sense. Russia would be lucky to take 20% of Ukraine off but then would easily run the rest of Europe? Maga i guess... just for a reality check, Poland alone is better armed than UKR

The fear in Europe is that Ukraine has the strongest, most battle-tested military in the continent. So if they lose, then Russia can easily run over the entire continent. I mean…then spend more on defense? Why rest the fate of the continent (its not true but that’s what they think) on one country?
