@Heccles94 If The top 10% pay 60% of all income tax, who is going to pay it when they are all gone?

@TomLondon6 Hmmmm the UK holds most of the world’s dark money on its shores and intelligent people never discuss it. So depends if we are talking organ grinder or monkey.
Would go:
MI6
Mossad
CIA
If you think it’s upside down, that’s exactly what they wanted, call me crazy 🤪

@OlenaRohoza Trident is leased from the US, it may only be France medium to long term
English

MAGA believes that Europe cannot defend itself without America. Here’s what they don’t understand:
First. France and the United Kingdom possess 515 nuclear warheads and 8 nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines.
Second. Europe’s defense spending has reached €481 billion this year — more than Russia and China combined. The EU’s ReArm Europe plan will mobilize another €800 billion.
Third. European countries have more than 1.7 million active military personnel. Russia has 1.3 million.
Fourth. The air forces of the EU and the UK operate over 1,400 combat aircraft. Their navies include five aircraft carriers, more than 60 submarines, and over 120 frigates and destroyers.
Fifth. Europe has more than 6,000 artillery systems — even before the largest rearmament wave since the Cold War. Poland alone is adding 212 new howitzers.
Sixth. Britain’s SAS pioneered modern special forces. The U.S. later modeled its Delta Force on it. From the French Foreign Legion to Poland’s GROM — Europe’s elite units are among the most formidable in the world.
Seventh. Europe already has joint military commands ready for action. The UK leads rapid response forces from 10 countries in Northern Europe and the Arctic. Finland alone can mobilize 900,000 trained reservists, all prepared for Arctic warfare.
Eighth. Europe has its own satellite navigation system (Galileo), its own defense programs (75 active projects), and is building its own rapid deployment forces.
The narrative of a “helpless Europe” was never really about defense.
It was about keeping Europe dependent — buying American weapons, relying on U.S. intelligence, and following American foreign policy.
Thanks to Donald Trump, that era may now be coming to an end.

@MarioNawfal Didn’t NETANYAHU recently admit to funding Hamas?
Agree with what you are saying but I think you are being cautious, and missing out some important geopolitical fuckery that has caused a massacre

@nic_carter @gummibear737 Pirates? It’s in the Maritime waters of Iran and Oman.
You may have a historical point with Panama and Zuez but the locals wouldn’t be the pirates.
Would hate to be your partner, power = ownership?
English

yes, the brainrotted TDS crowd not thinking anything through at all.
"international piracy is ok if you can threaten a chokepoint"
... ok? so we're just going to accept a 95% decline in maritime trade if everyone follows suit? fine. the entire world will starve aside from the US in that case.
English

The issue of the Strait of Hormuz is a global problem
Using the Iran precedent, any 3rd world country on the planet can become a "superpower" by using cheap drones to target commercial shipments
I don't think people with TDS understand the greater ramifications of allowing this
Gummi@gummibear737
Iran doesn't get to collect tolls on the Strait of Hormuz They don't even control it...they just get a veto because they are targeting commercial shipping Do you know who else can target commercial shipping? Every country on the planet That's why terrorists must be destroyed
English

I think anything has to be possible with a mad man calling the shots (Netanyahu), that might just be the reality.
The UK will really struggle medium term with Trident if the US is punitive.
The US doesn’t fare too well in Isolation against a joint Russia / China either though.
Hopefully budgets and commitments are increased.
The Iran stance is utter bollocks though. They did the same to the UK with Suez which was their right.
English

@maxbergmann What does an isolated US do against a joint Russia/China?
It loses full stop as per the Heritage Foundation’s 2026 Index.
English

What's the plan, Europe? NATO has nothing. All the eggs are in the Trump basket. So what do you do when its 2028, 200k Russian troops are moved to the border of Baltic states, and Trump/US isn't going to lift a finger. What do you do?
The White House@WhiteHouse
“NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!” - President Donald J. Trump
English

The US has shouldered the overwhelming share of NATO's actual military capability for decades: nuclear umbrella, highend air/naval power projection, intelligence, logistics, and the bulk of the spending. US defence spending is 3.5%+ of GDP (with much of it benefiting Europe), while many allies historically lagged badly below 2%.
Threatening to gut or exit NATO over a non-Article 5 Middle East issue risks real damage. The US in Isolation loses against a joint Russia/China as per Heritage 2026.
Iran is a strawman argument, the US heavily damaged the UK by saying no to Suez and sparked the end of the British Empire and a decline that is still ongoing. They were in their right to say no, as it is a defence agreement and not an offensive pact .
Everyone should pay their equal share, but the Iran argument is bollocks.
English

🚨 EVERY NATO ALLY DEFIED THE US ON IRAN. HERE'S THE FULL LIST.
The last 5 weeks broke something that took 75 years to build.
🇫🇷 France: BLOCKED U.S. weapons flights. Threatening UN veto. Status: AGAINST
🇮🇹 Italy: Denied U.S. bombers at Sigonella. Planes turned around MID-AIR. Status: AGAINST
🇪🇸 Spain: Closed airspace. Blocked 2 joint U.S. military bases. Status: AGAINST
🇵🇱 Poland: Refused to send Patriot systems to the Middle East. Status: AGAINST
🇨🇭 Switzerland: Rejected 6 of 11 U.S. flight requests. Froze weapons exports. Status: "NEUTRAL" (AGAINST)
🇬🇧 UK: "This is not our war." Closest ally, and refused. No functioning Navy. Status: OUT
🇩🇪 Germany: Called the war illegal. Hosts Ramstein. Under pressure to CLOSE IT. Status: AGAINST
This is the entire Western alliance telling America: you're on your own.

Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal
🚨🇺🇸 NATO's chief Rutte: "Nearly without exception, allies are doing everything the United States has asked." Strange thing to say when Spain closed its airspace, France blocked weapons flights, Italy denied Sigonella, and Austria denied overflights. x.com/clashreport/st…

@johnredwood Pretty sure we don't honey pot and extort the worlds largest super power and arms dealer. Call me crazy, but I think there is a good chance they are getting discount 🤪

@nic_carter @no_itsmyturn @biancoresearch Civilians trying to protect civilian infrastructure under duress or not, is something that they shouldn’t need to do as their foe is a signee of the Geneva Convention.
English

@no_itsmyturn @biancoresearch This was always going to end with Iran going the Gaza route. When you lose conventionally, play to the emotions of western liberals by intentionally putting your civilians at risk

@FeelYouHappy I wonder where they hire the room and outfits to do this fake shit, surely AI would be better than this acting

@PeterMcCormack State Pensions aren’t that, people are forced to contribute and do not even know about PAYG, they just think they are owed.
I don’t disagrees, the system is a con, like tax.

@Emaza___ @BishtSaheen Yes, and standing on the shoulders of giants
English

@jamie_generic @BishtSaheen The funny thing is Israel is always there

@teleron471879 @PeterMcCormack @sophielouisecc Definitely a broken system, but my question still stands for those your point doesn’t apply to. It would be beyond criminal to be overlook it
English

@jamie_generic @PeterMcCormack @sophielouisecc the question is not whether people should get something for their contributions, but whether they should be able to take out far more than they ever put in, as most pensioners do
English

@PeterMcCormack @sophielouisecc The system needs to change, but there needs to be a provision for those retiring that have paid their contributions their entire working life. What does that look like?
English

@sophielouisecc Nobody deserves to live off the productive capacity of others.
Those who believe they do are welcome to give up their wealth for it.
Collectivism is morally wrong.
