Cut the US out of the equation. Accept that we have lost a percentage of our exports forever but, strike deals with the EU/ASIA and the " good " BRIC's. Other than armaments almost everything we need can be sourced elsewhere....and, we can step up our own armaments to replace.
Its one f***ing idiot, riddled with hatred and spite, who has been put in a position way over his ability. No one in his party can stand against him or appear " disloyal ' and be sacked and ridiculed. Decent Republicans have to try and stand up and end the madness or the World economy will go...
Markets are tumbling badly again....I have 150 odd Santander shares from years past and they are currently down 52 p today alone, 10% of value ! ....this is Orange Friday and capitalisim is mortally wounded..
Shows how bad things have gotten that there are opwn discussions about Unlawful Orders. I said in a post a little while back that we would quite probably be relying on conscientious objectors within the CIA/FBI and US armed forces to save the day in order to make America come to its senses.
It seems james david vance has ramped up the rhetoric overnight. Some respected US experts on X pointing out that there might genuinely be attacks on Greenland's patrol boats....some are questioning how ordinary US citizens will feel to see the US killing former European allies...this is insane.
Sadly, I think you are correct. I don't think there is anybody, or any institution of state or law that can do anything. He's still threatening to take a fellow NATO country " By any means necessary " FFS !
We in Europe really need to start the process of decoupling from the US now.
Wind...
Sadly, you have hit the nail on the head there. There is an old saying.. " The more things change, the more they stay the same ".. so, I think we can almost juxtapose Hitler and Trump on current form. Trump is aggressively targeting those who disagree with him and those who displease his...
I'm wondering how hard Trump is going to come down on Israel now they have started the bombing again...fully expect NO condemnation from him despite it destroying his real estate.
Hail Trump ! ... never thought someone so unsuitable for high office would ever end up there. When the history of this time is written up( maybe on the bunker walls with sharpies by slowly starving people) what will our descendants, if any, make of this time ?
Sadly, no. There seems to be a blanket acceptance of Trump's idiocy and ignorance throughout the ruling classes. Not one of the living ex Presidents has said a word. I'm hoping someone finds their balls soon and actually stands up and says something ...but, I'm not optimistic. It seems he has...
The UK 's Nuclear " Deterrent " ceased a few years back. There was a test firing of an unarmed Trident missile by the RN...A few seconds after launch it disintegrated much to the confusion of observers. ...word came shortly that the US was monitoring the launch, detected an anomaly that was...
So with the charge sheet of Trumps stupid, indifferent and hostile actions growing lengthier every day, ill there be a point when a current senior Republican actually stands up and say " No More " ? Are they ever going to wake up or will they all just follow Trump to hell ?
Not seen anything to suggest we unite to " Fight " Russia, the uniting is being done to stand against Russia.
It's important to remember why this war started, although it should not need repeating, it sadly does more and more frequently..it was started by a sad little man who could not cope...
