That moronic speech, to the European leaders, by Vance, who on earth did he think he was addressing? 'Theres a new Sheriff" Idiot.
Trump going to sit down with Putin and sort out 3 years of aggression, by him, with thousands of Ukrainians dead.
Clowns.
The US is a hostile state.
We can’t just maintain it.
We have to quickly forge new security alliances with our closest European allies with whom we’re in the same boat.
The problem that the pro-Trump/pro-Putin Arseholes like Tice have, is that the more un-hinged and

The US is currently not to be trusted.
It is over. The US is not on our side.
🇬🇧 will not take advantage of 🇺🇸 protection without 🇺🇸 protecting 🇪🇺, with also taking advantage of 🇪🇺 trade, and above all 🇪🇺 investments in defense.
A clear choice has to be done.
This is the same US that sacked the officials in charge of the nuclear arsenal and now realises it deleted their current contact details.
My Grandad always said that the Americans were more likely to kill you if they were fighting on your side.
Only one of the relationships is realistically salvageable as of now.
Whichever choice is made, the resulting lost relationship will be remade more weakly with the remaining partner of choice.

Do you see the problem, or is the “special relationship” still meaningful?
As a US citizen 😔:
THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES AND NO LOYALTIES
Its America First and fk you if you refuse to bend to our will.
We need to end this ridiculous schizophrenia transatlantic/European. We're European.
Trump, Vance & Musk don’t realise that in military terms, Europe does not need America.
America has relied upon UK support in all its recent actions in the Middle East, hardly the act of an all powerful Military country.
