A lot of Americans, even liberal ones, underestimate how much anger is building up towards Washington among those British and German social groups who were once the most fervent advocates for the alliance with the United States

Whether he invited himself or Starmer said join us doesn't really matter atm Fact is he is here and Trump won't like it. Tough

He has removed anyone wanting modest universal improvements in living standards and pandered to the rabid right because he's one of them. I continually underestimate how racist and greedy he is, I suppose that bit is right.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

A Trump adviser said a Voice of America reporter was “treasonous.” Now the reporter has been put on leave, pending an investigation. And articles have been watered down to remove criticism of the president. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/b...

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

Starmer’s moment of glory lasted less than 24 hours. It’s time to face reality. America is no longer a reliable ally. Trump is a bully. Your praise of him meant nothing. It’s time to wean ourselves off America.

Hell freezing over. WSJ, centrists, progressives, and Democrats all agree Trump and Vance are kowtowing to Putin, a tyrannical thug, and undermining the US.

Republicans are lining up to denounce Zelensky because their base was seduced by a cranky old racist with a fondness for dictators. Just wild how the whims, prejudices, and weird obsessions of a senile 78-year-old have completely supplanted the party’s priorities — and reshuffled the world order.

The way Trump and Vance treated Zelensky reminds me of the bullying techniques used by popular girls in high school: lure you in with the promise of camaraderie, corner you, and then try to make you tell them whatever they want to know by making fun of your outfit

Today wasn’t a meeting—it was an Oval Office ambush, and it was planned. Zelenskyy has thanked the U.S. and its president dozens of times. Everyone knows that—including Trump. But gratitude was never what he wanted; he wanted a spectacle. “This is going to be great television” - Donald Trump

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Edward VIII's relationship with Wallis Simpson was widely reported in the US, but UK press didn't until one Anglican priest made an ambiguously oblique allusion to it, that was taken as the establishment's signal, the floodgates opened and he abdicated a week later. I think about that sometimes.

Jeffries intoning that "we need to see some mature leadership from the Trump administration": sorry, huh? To ask for "mature leadership from the Trump administration" is like expecting militant veganism from a starving cheetah. Get real.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

“Bewildering”?? Seriously?? Perhaps the editorial writers at Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal should familiarize themselves with the propaganda broadcast on Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel.

We are going to end up with another ‘Munich Agreement’ here. History judged Chamberlain as inept and the same will happen with Trump. I’m terrified for the future of Europe and the whole world.

We are all witnessing, in real time, the wanton destruction of the world order that has, for 80 years, kept the great powers from destroying humanity. God help us all. 😭
