Just had an unthinkable thought over the rare minerals strop- what is the US threat to Zelensky? They’ve already said they won’t help, they insist he gives up land and can’t join nato. It isn’t possible Trump threatens to help Russia militarily is it?

If Europe is unable to stand up, Ukraine will be forced to rely on itself and a smaller group of allies that continue to give support. Threats to European security will grow immensely. Putin will get braver, meaning more war in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and beyond.🧵10/17

Also he has no idea what a deal is. He just unilaterally agreed to remove any leverage Ukraine had in return for nothing.

He just capitulates and calls it a deal.

Depressing populist agenda. And the AI “national interest” refusal to sign up to international AI position is non-sensical. They should be forced to specify what advantage we get from not following rules which China is prepared to agree to.

Hope this is right or is he being played? Don’t criticise me and support international aid agencies, the UN or Trudeau or Denmark or I might treat you as badly as the EU. Isn’t Trump siphoning the UK off with this tactic (worst case scenario).

When do snap out of denial? He is ignoring congress, senate, the law. Leaving no functioning services (inc secret service), no independent legal system. He wants complete corrupt reign, he prefers our enemies and he appears to have territorial ambitions. And we think he will leave in 2028?

This is an excellent listen and I must say I was just left with the overwhelming impression that Trump has an extremely serious personality order. Hard and troubling to try to understand how a great democracy could elect him twice.

A welcome rant I must say. The problem of Brexit which is the central problem of our economy (I know there’s productivity etc but the trade barriers we’ve erected are crippling) will continue to be a threat to our welfare and even our democracy until we tackle it properly.
