Starmer needs to forget about the USA in the context of UK/European support for Ukraine. He needs to work with Europe on how to help Ukraine without the USA.
Europe and the World have to look at the US now in the same way they do about measuring. The World uses metric measurements. In the US, they stumble on with the difficult and outmoded imperial system.
Just count the US out....of pretty much everything.
And just let the rest of us get on with it
Starmer can be either the Chamberlain of appeasememt or the Churchill of defiance. Until the maga madness is ended the US should be kept at arms length.
I can’t see the logic in your analogy. That was WWII where we were fighting and at war - this is different. Very different. We simply cannot do this alone and Europe is not the Europe of WWII. Different times.
Stop pandering to the Orange Felon. He has no interest in Ukraine or Europe. The US is no longer a reliable security partner. Europe united can fill the void of the USs impending withdrawal from its Security commitments and its betrayal of every European Nation, especially Ukraine.
Is he saying he wants some assurance from the US that it won't support any further invasion of Ukraine by Russia? No harm in asking, but I don't think Trump will oblige.
US backstop is gone. The only things we can be sure Trump will do is lie and aggrandise himself. A Ukraine protected by Trump will be sold for a Trump-branded resort in Crimea or evaporate under the threat of a piss-tape reveal.
Starmer can't be this gullible can he? Does he think we are?
I am quite proud of the initial skill shown by UK PM. He pivots to recognise Trump in highlighting Europe's failures (respecting US, & ergo Trump, is needed 4 any relationship) & also shows humility / accountability for Europe's inaction, as should be expressed. I think he is quietly powerful here.
Despite the inexcusable manner in which this has been handled (isolating 🇺🇦 from talks, emboldening Putin etc), US's actions force Europe to step (as we have failed to). Starmer also sets out a red line to 🇺🇸 in terms of security guarantee (perfectly arranging content for upcoming visit to DC).
If that's the worst that happens, consider yourselves ucky.
My fear for the UK is that the Farage & Tory welcome mats will allow the Muskians to subvert the UK as well.
Things are very bad here, despite our written Constitution.
IN DISTRESS...
We know.
"The govt" including national security & military is controlled by the Muskian/Trump admin.
Their immediate goal is an uneducated, unhealthy, weakened population: Easier to control.
Yeah, saw that one. You guys, like us, have a lot of legacy stuff that needs taking care of. And it's not just nuclear weapons. Things are going to start breaking.
Aircraft bumping into each other will be the good old days.
Got to be prepared that the us wont be that backstop. A united Europe on the other hand could very much be just that. Trump reneges on deals he signed 4 years ago. No one would put all their national security eggs in the one basket in the hands of that felon

Feel for you guys. I think you're about to find out what the actual deep state was. The ordinary Jacks and Jills who make your country work.
Meanwhile, Musk's rent boys are installing ransomeware in everything.

At some point...The USA may not exist as it once was.
This is happening now:

We have no legal means to shut him down at this point.
But make sure you cut out the whole infection.
Maybe you're too young to remember the effects off Thatcherism in the UK. This is 100X that.
