‘At what point do we conclude that by sharing intelligence with the US, the UK might as well be sharing it with Russia?’ #FiveEyes

One thing not mentioned is that the US Air force has nearly 10,000 personnel in Britain. Imagine asking them to leave and them saying no.

After Trump’s big red reveal yesterday, his attack on Zelensky, it’s clear he’s a Russian agent, clinching what we suspected before as his every action is intended to destroy the U.S. So it will be Russia, and it’s ally the U.S., y’all will be fighting.
(I’m in the U.S. resistance rooting for y’all)

Yes. Unfortunately what calmer perle would have described as hysteria is proving increasingly to be true. We are watching the US slide into fascism and we are caught unable to defend our values without them. We must change.

And then there’s Farage.

And British media giving him a platform.

And a lot of people supporting Reform.

Probably saying if Farage had been there, there wouldn’t have been yesterday’s shock dispute.

lila7.bsky.social•1 day ago

Any word from Farage since Zelenskyy’s visit?

I hate to say this, but if the US is now aligning with Russia, for Europe’s survival we need to think about a strategic partnership with China. I’m serious

goryumbrella.bsky.social•1 day ago

China playing the role of the Soviet Union in WW2? Plenty of land and resources north of them they may be interested in?

jackouapuk.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don’t think there’s a historic parallel to this dire situation, given we live in an age of nuclear weapons. If the US are going to let Russia do as they please, Europe is fucked. A big player is needed on Europe’s side

goryumbrella.bsky.social•1 day ago

If we learn anything from history it is that there is always a historic parallel.

Absolutely. What if

Prescient, if only by a day or two.

Fact may copy fiction. Star Wars Clone Wars. The clones are fighting with the Jedi against the trade federation ran by a Sith Lord . The Lord is actually the president who orders the Clones to turn and attack the Jedi. Jedi stood no chance and were almost wiped out

Hopefully this is just a bump in the road, unless the orange one succeeds in transforming the democratic republic into an imperial with a dictatorial executive possibly even an hereditary one... That happens hopefully the UK can start to disentangle itself from the USA and rejoin the EU!

You should check our movement out. The link to our website is in our profile.

Yes I have often thought about that lately.

Oh god, I completely forgot about the defense-industrial aspect of this. You'd have to be an idiot to buy a high-tech US weapons system after seeing this administration in action.

Lockheed-Martin had got to be *pissed* now that he's killed their overseas sales dead for the foreseeable future.
