US Vice President J D Vance attacked Europe yesterday. His charge was, in essence, that we are not as fascist as he would like. The political battle lines have been drawn. We have to now stand up and fight against the tyranny he and Trump are unleashing. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... - ThreadSky

We should have stayed out of this in the first place. There was a peace deal on the table that both Putin and Zelenskyy were on board with. Biden and Johnson scuppered that. It's time someone took charge before more people - on both sides - lose their lives. There's no place for NATO in Ukraine!

Russia has already agreed former Soviet states can join NATO under the Russia NATO founding act of 97. Russia invaded because Ukraine was negotiating eu membership in 21. You know those resources the US is going on about? They are worth 12 x Russias gdp. They invaded for the resources.

No actually that’s false. Apr 1 Bucha was discovered. Apr 5 the UN met over it and Ukraine got no action from them. Apr 9 Ukraine withdrew citing Bucha as one of the main reasons. The west had nothing to do with it. As well NAT was never the reason Russia invaded.

The last time Europe failed to close down the voices of fascism it did not end well. It’s that simple. Never again.

Does this censorship he speaks of mean I can’t call him a nyaff?

With current U.K. leadership, I can see them siding with USA to the likely terminal risk to U.K. democracy

US diplomacy looks to have officially shifted into full on protection racketeering mode.

Spot on take! Glad others see this. J D Vance is a puppet of American Tech oligarchs and is the creation of Peter Theil

Latest move of #TrumpCensorship: banning #AssociatePress from briefings because they refuse to use Trump invented term #GulfOfAmerica

The problem is that there is probably around 25-30% of the population who will fall for their toxic shit and the fascist rags will broadcast it far and wide covering everything in their shit. We are going to need very very strong guard rails to protect our democracy. I'm not sure we yet have them.

In fact I'm not sure you can apply 'values' to total destruction of everything. Not a single good or half decent aspect. Hell has truly emptied - this is the new Pandemonium.

I hope David Lammy reads your post. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

The bottom line is Vice President Vance & President Musk ENDORSE AfD.

@onestpress.bsky.social kindly shared this English language version of what AfD leaders say.

Trump will string Starmer along to get what he can & then dump him.

President Moron and his cabal of half-wits are making America a laughing stock...but a dangerous one. Trump features in the book Putin's People by Catherine Belton. Who knows where this will lead?

I don’t often agree with Mr. Murphy but he’s bang on the money here. If we don’t fight now there will only be a larger cost to pay in future. Many will have differing views but there are values that all can agree on & we should fight together to protect those values.

Diplomacy isn’t going to work this time round 😢

guyp16.bsky.social•7 days ago

The rest of the world hates trumps America this is going to unify Europe way more.
I don’t honestly think the USA realises how isolated they’re going to feel.
It will feel like Brexit on steroids for them.
I pity the vulnerable and those who didn’t vote for this shit show.

mkvjack.bsky.social•7 days ago

Starmer needs to stop pandering to trump. Let's get back with European neighbors. The English tribe is not big enough to combat usa, Russia, China tribes on its own

It was bad enough with Nazi Germany & Co, can you imagine the US & Russia in concert.

ditto sadly Farage, Tice, Anderson & their cohort if Reform win next GE re "their definition of freedom is that right to threaten should be permitted"

nmimunro.bsky.social•7 days ago

All this nativist conservative stuff is bad cover for what they are really about, which is going after your pension. They want to create a world in which they will be able to fleece people without the hindrance of law, never mind democracy. They are doing it already in the US, quite systematically.

rcamatrix.bsky.social•7 days ago

Whether Starmer realises it or not Vance just blew up a key part of UK foreign policy. Starmer has tied himself in knots trying to be neutral between the US and EU but now he must choose, if not now then very soon. Does he have the backbone to do it? I fear not, there are dark days ahead.

Tyranny? Are you really such an idiot or are you paid for it?

They’re gangsters. The U.S. Congressional delegation presented Zelensky with a piece of paper they wanted him to sign which would grant the U.S. rights to 50% of Ukraine's future mineral reserves.
Zelensky politely declined to sign it.
