He also says they need US backing. We are supposed to be the military strength the world needs to stay safe. I don't want to imagine a world where Russia is allowed to slowly take over Europe.
The UK and Europe are standing straight and up to Putin because of Trump. They must since so many idiotic Americans fell for Trump’s lies and put him back in office. They are only doing what WE did for years, block Putin’s aggression with might and unity instead of siding with him as Trump is now.
The war is here! I'm telling you I've seen the face of war before. Trump and JD Vance started WWIII with one meeting in the White House. This is how fast wars start. The UK will bomb Pyongyang with subs and from the air. This is a war and it's already in motion.
Europe I hate to break it to you, but you're not going to get any help from the Divided States. What you are doing is highly commendable, and I hope through your unity, you are able to pull off this gigantic task in front of you.
Trump is not aligned with western values. He never has been, he’s told us this for years. You are on some kind of irrational hope if you think Trump holds any animosity towards Russia, or Putin whom he emulates.
His #grandiosity is a severe and destructive condition alright - & expert flatterers may draw the attention of most. But #Trump is, has been, and always will be #Russia-friendly. This relationship is over 40 years in the making. It has served him very well - got him elected twice already.
He has however spoke of (unprompted) tariffs on the EU and Canada (Ukraine’s other allies) and make no mistake it is his allegiance to Russia that spurred this. He is a disgraceful traitor and will never for the right thing here.
I get it now. We are looking to each other to be the one. When Zelenskyy stood up to a U.S. dictator we all banded in solidarity, taking heart. That was yesterday. Today we hear stories threatening our individual way of life & we've gone dark again. Communal response is strong, individuals are weak.
The US government has dropped democracy like a bad habit. Citizens can't function unless we're part of something larger at this juncture. But there is no larger. Mass protests of the 1st Trump admin rode off the backs of the women's march & BLM. Now we anxiously await help from across the pond. Why?
Even our legislators feel alone & discombobulated. We need to find a way to UNITE as a singular mentality not live as a sole mentality waiting to unite. It's so simple yet it's implementation is almost impossible. The human mind is complex but the solution is right here, right now. LIfe is so weird.
Too many Russians and Americans living in Europe for them to nuke us. Plus we have nukes too. Couple of nukes will destroy the entire global eco system. So, no they won't.
On the bright side, Trump can't launch nukes because he's currently in the middle of un-firing everyone that maintains America's entire nuclear arsenal.
I’d rather be mildly annoyed than watch our children die or face a nuclear holocaust. We can avoid all of this by uniting in the message of treason and remove traitor Trump and his fools from our office.
Why are they beating the US drum? Is it true that Europe can't defend itself without the US, or is there some other reason they need Trump to believe they need him? Is it to keep the US bases in Europe?
Not only is the US just a huge military force alone, but the EU defence strategy is entangled so heavily with it. A significant portion of the EUs ability to wage war relies on it waging that war alongside the Americans (for intelligence etc). They're far less effective without the US's support
Even if you don’t think Trump is a Russian asset, even though former KSB agents keep saying he’s an asset. And everything he does benefits Russia, even if you don’t believe that.
Trump routinely praised Putin and insults Russia, and GOP is so anti-Ukraine they fired their own house speaker over it.
Means to me that if Russia shoots a British plane or soldier the U.S. has to respond. If not they leave NATO and also have sanctions against us.
Am I seeing it correctly?
It's about time. Make Moscow look like the bombed out areas of Ukraine and tell putin St Petersburg is next. He will pull out of Ukraine and start behaving himself. It should have happened long ago. That's the only way to deal with a bully.
The only way it’ll have 🇺🇸 backing is if 🇺🇸 has the COJONES, the COURAGE, to end this #fascist takeover of America!
THE US MILITARY NEEDS TO STORM THE WH & CONGRESS & SEIZE BACK CONTROL from these fascists who are desecrating 🇺🇸 democracy & their constitution before it’s too late. #2024WasStolen
trump isn't going to back it. Easy for me to say, but if their going to put boots on the ground they should do it now. Shock and awe. If US gets involved backing putin then trump will be responsible for WW3.
Always money for war. Funny that.
Strategically I tend to think not getting involved in conflicts is the best policy unless a real danger arises of UK invasion.
That way you don't make yourself a target by funding+grabbing the centre stage. More importantly it wouldn't make the UK public a target.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Ukraine, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in cyberspace, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight with drones in the air, we shall never surrender! 🇬🇧🇺🇦
The sooner we shut the country down and march on Washington, mar-a-Lago, and every city. The sooner we can overt WWIII! If trump gets control over the military, there will be blood and all protests will be punishable by him. Let’s hope our military upholds their commitment to the constitution.
I thought this idiot met with the imbecile that Americans chose for president TWICE. Is Starmer on crack as well then ??? Starmer hand delivered yet another invite from Chucky. So in essence here, Starmer is saying he is offering nothing without the imbecile’s support.
Thanks for the leadership UK! On behalf of America, 90% of us support Ukraine over evil Russia and we’ll do our best to get the traitor Trump out of the White House and begin to recover our credibility in four years. Until then, looks like you’re on your own against Putin. Again, we all apologize.
The UK, The EU, Canada and their allies can hold Russia for the time being but the good people of the US need to come together on mass and take down the biggest threat you have ever faced...The Trump regime. Sort out your own house first, clean up the yard, and you will be welcomed back 🤝
Wait until you hear what Putin says. He ain't agreeing to jack. Do you still not get it. Putin needs beating militarily or the economy totally crushed. There is no other way, fillstop.
The US can’t be trusted. I’m deeply worried about everyone going back to touch the hot stove. Trump and Vance are Russian assets, stop assuming the impossible. We need to think outside the box!
Well. Looks like WW3 is closer than ever thanks to the criminals currently babysitting the white house.
There has never been a more important time than right now, to arrest Trump, Vance and the entire delegation of Russian lovers for Treason.
WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA!
The first best time we should have beat the shit out of the Russian bully was probably about when they were trying to take Crimea. The second best time I guess came and went dozens of times but we can settle for now.
Trump is a traitor and Putin lapdog. Help us unite with this narrative so that we can remove him and his fools from office. If not, millions could die. Trump and his fools are a threat to all freedom loving countries. He must face the same music as all traitors, the loss of his wealth and freedoms.
It sounds like his support is predicated on the US staying on Ukraine’s side. That’s over. Is he being disingenuous here or trying to pull the US into the light?
He’s making sure not to willfully alienate Trump any further. We still need US intelligence and we need them to sell us weapons. He’s also speaking to the rest of the US administration in the hope that they will grow back their spines
It’s all going to be a balancing act now. Same as the decisions made about information shared with the US via 5 eyes. It’s going to take time and careful steps to extricate ourselves
You're right that this has to be done carefully, but I think with a russian asset as DNI, any intelligence related to Ukraine has to be kept away from US hands.
Need to cease all information sharing with US regards Ukraine, NATO etc as it will only get passed on to Russia. On 1st March Russian missiles sank a cargo ship carrying UK weapons for Ukraine - I wonder how they knew.
In 1994, the UK, the US, and Russia guaranteed Ukraine's independence and territorial sovereignty in exchange for Ukraine relinquishing its nuclear weapons.
Now that Putin's agent, the traitor Krasnov, has desecrated the presidency, it seems like only the UK is willing to keep the promise.
All of Europe needs to rearm to peak Cold War levels and beyond, ASAP. In addition, rapid expansion of nuclear arsenals may be necessary. The fascist leaders of the US are making the world a much more dangerous place.
This is a very smart statement. Europe is doing the "heavy lifting," which means £$€. BUT for peace, the USA must be involved. He's calling out the US government: It's going to cost you nothing, but you hold the reins for making peace. The US government now has a fait accompli. Show up or shut up.
After Donald Trump and J.D. Vance’s recent diplomatic debacle with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, I thought it might be helpful to contrast the current administration’s approach with that of President Jimmy Carter:
The U.S. will likely never back it, and Europe should not rely on the U.S. to do so either. It's worth a try to see if they will but if they don't, it's all on Europe to carry out the full load.
UK calling, same here, when Thatcher met Reagan the only winners were corporations. It would have been okay, if it hadn't come at the expense of every post WW11 societal advance, which of course was the actual idea.
Absolutely true. Everytime I see a mentally ill person on the corner begging for money, I think of that bastard and his ugly wife. May they rot in Hell.
Is everybody supposed to sit back and let Ukraine get levied? You do know Poland is next? Snd on and on and on. This is what happens when this country sits on its ass and doesn’t do anything. Sometimes war is necessary.
Yeah? You want to get the nukes on your head?
No. The offensive approach was a US one, there must be other ways to lever diplomacy for Europe . We should at least try before resorting to apocalyptic solutions
You need to realize that the US Prez isn’t interested in diplomacy and until Congress drops their sacs and starts standing up to him, all countries are in peril. Diplomacy is always preferred. Unless you’re a Putin puppet in the US White House
Hey MawMaw. Putin already declared war. He’s the aggressor, he’s the occupying army, he’s the one that wants more territory. Boots on the ground will ensure he has suffers some serious consequences.
And again, you’re a US citizen not a European right? It’s not for you to define what the EU should or shouldn’t do. You’re an ocean away. I don’t want Nukes on my head thank you.
For one, not adding more weapons to the pile it only benefits weapons manufacturers and those in the business. The economy of war is insanely lucrative and is enriching Russia.
Then… deplomacy, the only road to peace. If this is what the European leaders truly want. Though half of them are fascists
The people of Cloud Cuckoo Land (and their children) will be the first to be starved, raped, tortured, and killed when the Russians roll in because their leaders never stood up to them.
Honestly, hearing Macron and Starmer, it doesn’t look like it. But I honestly pray that I’m wrong. Anyway we’re not unified in our approach so we’re probably not in a good position. But I hate and fear the war escalation propaganda. They owe it to us to review all options before making decisions.
Biden was all in to provide weapons for defense only. Europeans and UK was in trenches in WWII. They may be ready to blow the shit out of Russia to protect their own. The stakes for them is real.

We cannot abandon the EU.

If Trump rallied America against Putin, western values would win.
That’s the pressure we’re discussing.
But Trump will 100% fold under pressure.
We betrayed Ukraine over and over again.
Squid game for Biden.
Proud to be UK born!
I think NATO should kick US the fuck out
🇬🇧🇪🇺
Hey, maybe they can join the EU with Ukraine
+1🇬🇧 get!
+1🇺🇦 get!
Okay I’m British but that wasn’t excellent roast of us.
Also I voted remain and would love it if we got our star back.
Nous sommes désolés. 😞

If not they will be accused of negligence as trades relations start to fall through the floor
Krasnov = Putin
What doesn’t the UK PM get?
He wants Putin’s puppet to help put an end to Russia’s war?
Trump routinely praised Putin and insults Russia, and GOP is so anti-Ukraine they fired their own house speaker over it.
Why in the world would Europe or UK be waiting for Trump to help Ukraine?
Have they not seen everything going on the past 8 years in America?
Am I seeing it correctly?

In 2022, Ukraine asked for a NATO enforced no fly zone over all of Ukraine. It is way overdue.
Strategically I tend to think not getting involved in conflicts is the best policy unless a real danger arises of UK invasion.
That way you don't make yourself a target by funding+grabbing the centre stage. More importantly it wouldn't make the UK public a target.
"But to support peace in our continent, and to succeed, this effort must have strong US backing" is a huge risky proviso to the group's plan.
I'm sorry, but egotistical deal maker Trump surely wants HIS plan with full control & exclusive credit for any 'peace'?

I'm all for being less dependable on a nation that can swing political views overnight.
Many MAGA voters are not buying the take down of President Zelenskyy and the firing of Veterans!
let's see them spin it 🌪
Now that Putin's agent, the traitor Krasnov, has desecrated the presidency, it seems like only the UK is willing to keep the promise.
USA is compromised!
Vance went skiing.
Zelenskyy went fighting.
Make your voice heard
