I find it hard to listen to Carole because get so damn angry but I have to !! Also IMHO this is the end of the US in NATO in stark terms, Heskgeth said US no longer the guarantor of European security

brainbomb.bsky.social•10 days ago

The end of the US in NATO is effectively the end of NATO. I saw this coming. Europe must unite in a new pact outside of NATO to adjust to the US and Russia being on the same side.

Fascism invariably ends in war. A wider European war is I think inevitable.

ianrobo.bsky.social•10 days ago

Lewis Goodall posted about Heskgeth and deleted it, however NATO can easily be turned into a EU/UK force ... europe just needs the confidence to say Ukraine should not give up a piece of their land, Crimea is different

To appease Putin

bridget1965.bsky.social•10 days ago

I think you should read up on your history.
After Nazi Germany attacked the USSR on 22 June 1941, the country allied with the United Kingdom and then the United States in Dec 1941. At the end of the war, Stalin was tacitly allowed to keep land the USSR occupied. The Cold War began in 1947.

darksimz.bsky.social•9 days ago

Ah yes after they were Allied with Hitler before and changed their tune when he invaded them. Still the reason the US joined was to divvy up Europe afterwards. Which they're doing again now together with their great friends Russia. Who attacked Europe for no reason. We are at war with them.

deepundercover.bsky.social•10 days ago

If Trump had been around in WW2, he'd have had talks with Hitler and ended the war by letting Germany keep all of the countries they'd invaded.
