@thejointstaff So that’s it after 37 years of service and leadership you get a tweet because a failed Fox News weekend anchor wanting to play Call of Duty with real soldiers lives, decides your time is up.. This is what it’s come to

Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to. They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures. That is not how it works. Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America. Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf. Now imagine they hadn’t. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home. Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost. And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover. Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name. Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers. If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine. In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation. If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa. You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@Harrisbro777 Europe is sinking and it will pay a heavy price for turning its back on the US, the same US that saved it for the last 80 years. And all this for the votes of Muslim immigrants who conquered Europe.

🚨 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. ⚠️

He is the Defender of the Faith THE faith - our Church of England If he is not willing to do his duty, then he should go.

@CatharineHoey @RoyalFamily

Is it true that the King is not delivering a message for Easter. ? If this is true why is he not ? We need to have a reason. If he can give messages to Muslims on their special religious days surely he must send a message to Christians. @RoyalFamily

🚨BREAKING: British citizens are calling upon King Charles to ABDICATE amid huge backlash following the announcement that he will not be giving an Easter message this year. Should Charles hand over the throne?

@IsabelOakeshott You obviously don't know much about English traditions.

THE King is head of the Church of England. He issued Ramadan and Eid messages, but apparently isn’t bothering with Easter this year. What the holy f***? Not ok.

@PeteHegseth You never left it.

Back to the Stone Age.

@Wescott464348 Puts a spoke in Putins grand plan, which Trump is hell bent on promoting.

🚨BREAKING: Poland has refused a US request to send a Patriot missile battery to the Middle East. Poland’s defense minister says the batteries are needed to protect Polish airspace and NATO’s eastern flank, with no plans to relocate them. What would you like to say about this?

@Acyn Also Paula White 👇🏼

@Acyn @MichaelRosenYes

White: You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. You will be victorious in all you put your hand to because God is using you.

Just so we're clear, Israel is now the first state to have an ethnicity-based death penalty since Nazi Germany.

@LFC_ThomasK @0hour1 How to survive mass shootings and be a dickhead.

@0hour1 What do they teach in schools over there in America?

Everyone in the UK would be speaking German if not for the United States.

@flintaeroinc @0hour1

@0hour1 Now y'all better brush up on your Russian. We are pretty much done with you ungrateful bitches. We will save trillions leaving y'all to defend for yourselves.

@0hour1 If Germany had won the whole world would be speaking English now...proper English, not the moronic bastardised version you spew out in the USA.

Hey Americans, I might be a know-nothing Brit, but I can't help thinking that arresting your president for raping kids might be a better idea than letting him collapse the global economy and possibly end the world. Just a suggestion.

@TaffyTezla @WayneSmyth6 @Jojosdojo Don't you bother with brakes, tyres, etc? How much is insurance?

@WayneSmyth6 @Jojosdojo Yeh true, 3p a mile from 2028 apparently- even with that I’ll still save £3k a year plus I have no servicing costs at all. I don’t really care what other people drive , it’s just a no brainer for me

Horrific conversation in a Skoda dealership just now about electric cars: Me: so how long does the battery last? Rep: about 100k / 8yrs Me: then you swap the battery? Rep: nope. Swap the car. The battery is built into the floor.

@sophiefindlay_ It literally is a cup final. Adam Watene R.I.P. A fine player for both teams.

Not sure why Wakefield fans are convinced our game against them is our cup final.. did they forget the 17 game winning streak we had against them?! 🐯 Always been in our shadow.
