> It is often said that if you are troubled by what people say, you should just imagine what they are thinking. The publication of a messaging app group chat of senior US politicians discussing their plans to bomb Yemen demonstrates quite clearly that the Trump administration doesn’t care about European security. It also shows implicitly – although they may not realise this – that they don’t see the United States as the world’s leading superpower at all.

> Gloating over the fact that they “loathe” the “freeloading Europeans”, and seeing them trying to work out how to extort money from Europe for US security operations in the Red Sea, the ignorance and stupidity of the current Trump administration is laid bare for all to see – quite apart from the desperately amateur sharing of classified operational plans over a messaging app.

> At the time of the British Empire’s pinnacle, our economy and global power rested primarily upon British naval power enforcing freedom of navigation on the high seas for all. This – coupled with free trade – made us the most powerful Empire the world had ever seen.

> By pulling back from policing the high seas, the US is pulling back from her hegemonic role. This not only undermines her own power; it also creates a vacuum which endangers the safety of Europe and the UK.

> We should also accept that the US is an unreliable ally when it comes to our defence and security, and we must work with our European allies to deliver the collective defence of Europe – without the United States. This is a project that the UK – as a nuclear power and one of Europe’s two great military powers – should be leading on.

I’d take the article much more serious is it was not written by a liberal democrat who seem to have taken on a whole new loathing of the UK and US since Brexit.

Everything they now say is aligned with the rejoining of the EU.

You know you fucked up when you made the Telegraph publish a pro-EU article.

We will show the Americans that want us to increase our military expenditure and police our own seas by doing just that

An ally? Really ? Just a trading partner who makes fun of Europeans

Someone please tell the current British government, they don’t seem to have gotten the memo…

It’s high time that European right wingers realized that being friendly with Americans means sacrificing their precious nationalism and their own interests in favor of a bunch of foreigners looking to fuck them just as hard as the leftists they hate so much.

Another Brexit win

…

For Moscow

“The US is an unreliable ally”

…First time?

Trump is a genius diplomat, he’s united the world against him. Apart from certain countries who are rooting for his every stupid move.
