@jackprandelli Another ChatGPT generated X post. It reflects the calibre of US foreign policy. In other words, shit dressed up as genius.

US just put NATO on notice "If you won't let us fly over your country to strike Iran why are we still basing troops there?" Connect the dots: 🇺🇸 US withdraws from Hormuz protection 🛢️ Oil sanction relief for Russia ✈️ Base access ultimatum to NATO allies 🇨🇳 All roads lead to Beijing This isn't chaos.... It's architecture. Washington is redrawing its alliance map around one single objective isolating China. Keep Russia close? Check Punish European freeriders? Check Control who gets US military protection? Check Europe spent 30 years assuming the US security umbrella was unconditional. Rubio just put a price tag on it. Base access and Overflight rights. No contribution, no protection. And while Europe scrambles to figure out what NATO means now the US is already playing the next game. The real is China. Have a look at my latest article I break down the deeper strategy behind all of this🔗 Link 👇 themerchantsnews.substack.com/p/what-is-the-…

@GissiSim Sounds good to me. China sells us white goods and we sell them champagne and foie gras. Inside every Chinese communist is a European aesthete trying to get out.

I hope Americans understand that Trump pulling out of NATO is the start of the Chinese world order. Europe will run to China real quick and start having heavy trade/diplo relations. There is no doubt in my mind. What does US have then? Cuba and Venezuela? Oh... and Israel.

@SpoochyM @WorldByWolf We've had to do far worse in recent times. Like accept wave after wave of refugees becomes of America's stupid fucking wars in the Middle East.

@WorldByWolf Talk to me like the European people would tolerate the tradeoffs of social welfare programs for the cost of building a working defense system.

You’re telling me Trump’s big threat is that Europe would have to reindustrialise, rearm, restore sovereignty, and end net zero to do it? Or alternatively we’d have to come to some kind of diplomatic accommodation with the Russians? Sign me up. This is Christmas come early.

@RickSanchezTV We must forgive Rick for his errors and show mercy. His only viable source of income is trash talking Europe on social media to make Americans feel better about their lack of healthcare and their rising debt levels. Aperol Spritz anyone?

The Ukraine funding pipeline is DRYING UP. Kaja Kallas came to Kiev and said uh-oh, no money, sorry… With rising energy prices and shifting global priorities, Europe may be reaching its political limits. Will it be able to act alone, without the US? Join BitChute for more DAILY updates: bitchute.com/channel/4BfnNK…

@pegobry_en Unfortunately for our friends in the US, they can't read a map. If the the US were to exit the Eurasian landmass life would probably be much better for everyone.

The irony with all this is that the reason there’s a rift between Europe and Russia is because of US policy. Europe-Russia is a much more natural alliance in many ways than Europe-US. This shit is so tiresome

@Acyn Jennings is as thick as two short planks. And that's an insult to the planks

Jennings: You have supposed friends of the US saying you can't use these bases. Phillip:Are they not right to wonder why weren't they consulted before trump decided to wage a war? It sounds like you think it's in their defense. Jennings: It is in defense of all of Europe Phillip: Shouldn’t they have been consulted? Jennings: Consulted? We decided it was in our national security interest. Phillip: So, that makes it our war.

@VividProwess We are now approaching the bottom of the barrel.

An Israeli dog is shaking in terror after hearing and feeling rocket explosions. This is what these angels go through every time there are sirens.

@MichaelAArouet @SirDeBeaujeu A large portion of European welfare spending is due to all the refugees that came our way due to successive US military failures in the Middle East. As to the US, it spent $8 trillion on these wars and has nothing to show for it. Great going guys!

@SirDeBeaujeu Large portion of US debt was caused by the US paying for Europe‘s defense for decades

This is a perfect visualization challenging the left's narrative about European “democratic socialism.” There is no such thing as “democratic socialism.” It’s capitalism with expanded welfare. Let’s see what will happen next when Europe needs to pay for its defense.

@DamianLow3 The army of clowns who retweet his X posts.

Name me someone less intelligent than Pete Hegseth?

@unherd @EuroBriefing Good grief. It is possible to design new defence alliances isn't it? It's been done in the past. What is this unending obsession with a Cold War construct past its use-by date? I don't see anyone agonising over the Warsaw Pact or the Quadruple Alliance.

Can Nato survive without America? @EuroBriefing 👇 buff.ly/3d18wmt

@marcosagusstinn @NXT4EU Amen. We first have to vote out the clowns who are standing in the way.

@NXT4EU Add the UK and you’re looking at 500M+ people vs ~350M in the US. Industrial power like Germany, financial power like the UK, and military + nuclear strength like France. Europe has all the pieces, it just needs to unify, integrate its markets, and act as one.

This would be the strongest country in the world. And it will happen before 2050.

@sporazene2 @TheLongInvest She is wrecking an entire continent

@TheLongInvest she's in good company with Keir, but i think he is on a different scale as a country wrecker

How useless is Ursula?

@TheLongInvest As useless as an ashtray on a motorbike

@business @stavridisj @opinion @stavridisj is tacitly admitting the US Navy is a shell. For all its power it can't clear a tiny sea lane and it doesn't want to risk it's own assets. This isn't Europe's war. So bollocks to him and his stupid ideas. Clean up your own fucking mess.

European allies are right to question Trump's war on Iran, but NATO naval forces should clear the Strait of Hormuz anyway, @stavridisj writes (via @opinion) bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

@vonderleyen @Keir_Starmer When, oh Lord, are we going to be rid of these cretinous Israel-First / America-First German neoliberals?

Good call yesterday with @Keir_Starmer. We discussed the situation in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s actions are putting global economic stability at risk. We will work with our partners to ensure freedom of navigation can resume as soon as possible. We also discussed the upcoming EU-UK Summit. A key moment to deliver on last year’s commitments and further strengthen our partnership.

@Damo_2012 @HarrajSokhi @newstart_2024 The hypocrisy is more than I can bear.

@KnowledgeAtomic @HarrajSokhi @newstart_2024 I was confused too. Agreed with what she said and then I read this. "She argues that it is Israel who faces a genocidal threat from Islamists like Hamas, while anti-Semitism surges across a West blind to its own history" The irony!

Truth is now considered a right-wing conspiracy. That’s the chilling line from Melanie Phillips that stopped me in my tracks. She explains how we’ve reached a point where simply stating observable reality — whether it’s basic biology defining a woman or pushing back against blanket accusations that all white people are inherently bad — gets you branded as evil. Not wrong. Evil. Therefore you must be silenced, cancelled, or erased. No debate. No evidence allowed. She calls it cultural totalitarianism: a Manichean worldview where one ideology claims a monopoly on goodness, progress, and reason itself. Dissent isn’t argued with — it’s treated as a moral threat that has to be removed. The deepest irony? In an era that smugly ditched religion in the name of superior rationality, we’ve ended up rejecting reason, evidence, and open inquiry altogether. We’re so “rational” we’ve dispensed with the very tools of rationality. It doesn’t add up. Her take has me wondering how we got here — and how quickly disagreement turned into moral excommunication. Anyone else seeing this pattern play out in conversations lately? Where have you felt truth itself become off-limits?

@TrishHodkinson News flash: the country is skint, isolated and our boyfriend America is about to dump us. Are you getting the picture? Step away from GBNews and reality looks a whole lot different.

How dare he. How dare he make closer ties with the EU when 17.4 million people voted to leave those very said ties. HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!

@Chelsiepowder @CAP7201 @ericmmatheny Alas, you are right.

@KnowledgeAtomic @CAP7201 @ericmmatheny More than that, Vietnam, Korea, Somalia, Niger, Syria, Yemen , the last time the US won a war WITHOUT NATO or Europes help was 1846

If our so-called European allies won’t let us use their bases, then we need to leave NATO and stop funding them. NATO is a one-sided deal where America gets stuck with the bill. We don’t need them, they need us.

@Impatient_Brian @newstart_2024 I could give two shits what you think. But thanks for wasting your time on X this morning.

@KnowledgeAtomic @newstart_2024 You were there in Gaza and saw this with your own eyes? I think you are lying.

@Acyn Would that be Guatemala?

Graham: I would move our bases out of Spain because they are unreliable country. I would be looking at reducing the number of troops we have in Europe. I would be looking at repositioning these troops in countries that are more favorable to the United States. NATO will look different after tonight.
