#TheGreatGame

“We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy”

Yay!

Of course, children should not be allowed their own phones. But to what age? I'd say 16. ?

Profound…

"jumping"? Really?

"A coup via elder abuse." ? Then in the comments that Trump doesn't care, he just wants to grift off the title.

🍊🤡 is quoting Napoleon FFS!

Isolationist US is very dangerous for the rest of the world. #TheGreatGame

Trump hates EU. But everything Trump does plays into China's hand. #TheGreatGame

#PsycopathicCapitalism Terrifying.

Haha! Has Trump ever noticed this?!

1. A common mistake is to look for ideological consistency on the far right, and to become confused when some of the things it claims to stand for sound positive and even progressive. Here’s a thread on how to understand this. 🧵

How on Earth has their political situation not driven them all to drink?!!

Yep. They failed to learn the lesson of criticising Hillary in 2016.

From my Quaker upbringing, rearmament goes completely against the grain, and looking at history rearmament is a very scary prospect, but right now I think it's essential. #TheGreatGame

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Merging or not, can they work together to be a rival for Chinese electric car production? #TheGreatGame

The state of my teeth/gums are testament to the appalling state of dentistry in the UK but even so, if I were at the Treasury, I would be putting a very long list of other things higher up the priority list. 😞

Hmm. I'm not convinced yet. The US is certainly going behind Ukraine's back #TheGreatGame

Autocrats carving up the world. Very scary. #TheGrestGame

URGENT: Stop Trump's invasion of Gaza and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Tell Arab leaders to RESIST: action.eko.org/a/arab-leade...

Cutting of a nose to spite the face. US losing at #TheGreatGame

Well, it's up there with the Iraq War.

This has been apparent for a long time!

Drones are not the only thing that we need to be concerned about China dominating the supply chain. Electric cars, for example, is another. I want to boycott Tesla, but that will totally play into China's hand. (Mind you Tesla's supply chain is totally dependant on China too!) #TheGreatGame

Good grief. Is this really how he tries to represent his state?!
