Struggling to think of a precedent for pulling the plug on intel sharing in this manner. Only cases that come to mind involve a U.S. partner using U.S. intel to commit serious crimes and that obviously isn’t the situation here.

Trudeau: "Now I want to speak directly to one specific American. Donald...it's not in my habit to agree with the WSJ, but Donald, they point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. We friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see."

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau: "Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense."

Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

I don’t think I have a clear grasp of what Canada is expected to do in order for Trump to end the tariffs. Agree to be 51st State? Tokenistic announcement of crack down on the tiny amounts of fentanyl precursor chemicals smuggled over the border? Lose at Ice Hockey? Give Mounties US-bred horses?

Anyone claiming Zelenskyy doesn't want peace is either an idiot or a paid propagandist. Anyone claiming Zelenskyy should accept Trump's terms for peace is also an idiot or a paid propagandist.

Zelensky looks overwhelmed with emotion, hearing Starmer’s warm words. Zelensky must be absolutely shattered and traumatized, yet retains his dignity. Thank you, Keir, for standing by Ukraine 🇺🇦!

I’ve been emotionally tweeting similar myself the past 24 hours. My cooler head says Starmer should simply set terms for the visit - that it can take place when there’s a genuine, just, sustainable peace settlement in Ukraine. Before then, UK will just be “too busy” to host Trump.

Perfect! Definitely a contender for “word of the year.” Another would be a “Lindsay Graham” - describing an opportunistic turncoat who coasts on his reputation as John McCain’s best pal, whilst betraying everything McCain stood for.

This was one of the worst foreign policy speeches I’ve ever heard a British politician deliver. Vacuous and unconvincing; full of cliches, half-truths, false choices, evasions, double standards and opportunism. Read my full takedown here ⬇️

It's extortion. And also against the Budapest Memorandum, in which the USA guaranteed it would not use economic coercion against Ukraine. And also in which the USA gave assurances to protect Ukrainian independence. A price was paid then, in 1994.

The pace and breadth Trump/Musk have chosen is a huge strategic error. Their resources are finite, esp after decimating federal depts. Doing it all in Month 1, means all legal challenge/breakdown/protest washes back in Month 4. At that point it is THEY who'll have to choose what fights to ditch. 1/2
