Putin is losing in Ukraine. His army has not advanced at all in four years. That’s the definition of losing a war of imperial conquest.

Let me be precise about what is happening here. Trump keeps saying “NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.” He says it like a grievance. He will keep saying it. Expect it at every rally between now and 2028. Understand what he is actually doing. He is not venting. He is building a case. Because he knows what Russia is planning for the Baltic states, and he is pre-loading the public argument for why Article 5 does not apply when that moment arrives. “We asked, they refused.” That is the exit ramp. Simple. Memorable. Wrong, but effective. Article 5 covers armed attacks against members in Europe or North America. It was never designed to cover offensive wars the United States chooses to launch in the Middle East. Article 6 makes this explicit. The Americans insisted on that language in 1949 precisely so they could not be dragged into Europe’s colonial wars. Trump is now furious at a clause his predecessors wrote.  He called allies cowards. He told the United Kingdom to “build up some delayed courage.” He threatened France after Paris refused airspace for weapons bound for Israel.  None of this is anger. It is choreography. NATO allies had no legal or treaty obligation to join this war. The United States was not the victim of an attack. It was the instigator.  What Trump is calling betrayal is allies reading the actual document. Now to the harder question: can NATO hold without Washington? Yes. European members have every incentive to maintain the alliance, even in radically different form. Germany’s chief of defence has already ordered the military to be fully equipped by 2029, when Russian forces may have reconstituted sufficiently to test the eastern flank. That clock is running regardless of what happens in Washington. European leaders have been forced to confront the need for a security architecture that can stand without the American pillar. That conversation was theoretical eighteen months ago. Iran made it operational. The alliance survived the Suez crisis, when the United States humiliated Britain and France. It will survive this.

@chefsevenn I can never understand these pretentious people who think that just because a dish has potatoes, there’s no need for rice. They’re usually overweight themselves and have just picked up something from some so-called nutrition expert on Instagram 😑

ARGENTINA MAKES A BOLD MOVE ON THE FALKLANDS Just hours after the United States reaffirmed its neutrality in the Falklands dispute, the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz has arrived in Argentine territorial waters at the personal request of President Milei. Milei has now issued an emergency decree for joint naval exercises with the US right off the Falklands coast. This has left the British government visibly rattled. Starmer continues to destroy our once great nation one idiotic decision at a time.

Ian Collard - head of security when Peter Mandelson was vetted - will NOT appear in person to give evidence to parliament, but will only do so in writing. And Emily Thornberry’s first words in this letter are that it was “the foreign secretary’s decision”. First sign of resistance from the government…
Emily Thornberry@EmilyThornberry

Ian Collard will be giving evidence to the Foreign Affairs Committee in writing. I have written to the interim Permanent Under Secretary at the Foreign Office setting out the questions we wish Mr Collard to answer. committees.parliament.uk/publications/5…

@PaulVick138203 No. It because he appointed close friend of arch paedophile Epstein to US ambassador and sought diplomatic post for nonce defender Doyle.

Do you think the reason some people in the media are so Hell-bent on getting rid of Sir Keir Starmer is because they blame him for the phone hacking scandal which closed down the News of the World and over 200 journalists and staff lost there jobs?🤔 Repost after voting please.

Car Parking Charges: • NHS Staff: £70,500,000 per year. • MPs: £0.00 per year. Egregious, in the extreme.

@ImpactSRLLC @Jacob_A_Webb C18th. It is a superb movie and deserves a sequel. It is not an adaptation, however, it borrows from a number of POB's books.

@Jacob_A_Webb OMG: it is the best book adaptation to film. Historians rave on it's 17th century accuracy. Waste of a life not seeing that movie.

NEWS — European intelligence warns Russia could attack NATO within a year. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is drafting revenge plans against NATO for disloyalty to Trump. The alliance has two enemies now. One of them is us.

There are lists of missing documents all the way through Starmer's career. Funny that.

@The_A_Disruptor And, yet, by her own admission she can't find the minute wherein Starmer appoints Mandelson. Funny that.

Help me out - the media believe Ollie Robbins even tho he appeared to have no paper trail to back up his claims. Cat Little offers up a conflicting narrative WITH a paper trail and she’s disbelieved. WTAF??
