Grumpier by the day. Grew up in the cold war. Capitalism, democracy, liberty. Brexit. Russia (and Starmer - pound shop Mao) must be defeated.

Nice words, but the time for talk has long since passed. You're a senior member of the United States Senate. Do something about it.

I usually avoid politics here, and I’m an independent voter, but I’ve had enough. This is the most reckless and unacceptable behavior I have ever seen from a U.S. president in my whole life. Undermining NATO, coercing allies with tariffs, floating territorial grabs, and even

France refers to "intimidation or threat", comparing US behaviour in Greenland to Russia's approach to Ukraine. Sweden's PM says: "We will not allow ourselves to be blackmailed". Much, tougher language from Europeans than we have seen before, responding to the US escalation.

Trying to write this without getting frustrated is very difficult… What Trump is doing, it’s insanity. Putting tariffs on your primary allies because they moved troops to your other ally, in order to demonstrate they’re serious about security of Greenland? And to demand they

Commission president is fast out of the blocks. Emergency meetings of European leaders likely tomorrow. ECB also needs to ready to intervene in markets. This is moving from crisis to emergency territory.

With European leaders consulting by phone/video tonight and tomorrow, details of the response will be formulated in person in Brussels tomorrow. Nobody should underestimate how big this is. Europe will go to economic war to defend its territory.

We (including me) should have pushed CANZUK much harder in the years we had the chance. If it had got properly established there would have been at least one (over-matched,yes, but credible) counterweight to American aggression. Now we face tyrannical demands untrammelled.

We essentially had veto power over the Diego Garcia issue, and both Biden and Trump waived it, saying they had no problem with the UK's imbecility in this matter.

Its critical now that the UK and Europe hold onto their values and think about how history will judge us. We are the good guys and we need to stay that way, even if the short-term cost is high, the long term costs of not doing so are much worse, for oursevles and for humanity.

CovfefeConnoisseur Nonsense - Europe has opposed Maduro and Iran for decades, and led sanctions and and other measures - including preventing Iran getting a nuclear capability. British jets are operational in Syria, Qatar, Oman and Saudi as I write and ground forces. Do your homework.
