La fine dell’alleanza occidentale significa che il Regno Unito deve essere più coraggioso, afferma il direttore di Chatham House

Bronwyn Maddox described Trump’s impulsiveness, taste for military action and rejection of international law as amounting to a revolution. She said US allies “must now contemplate what was unthinkable: to defend themselves against the US, in both trade and security”.

“It is not grandiose to call this the end of the western alliance,” she said, in the sense of countries “sharing principles of individual liberty, intellectual and religious freedom, constitutional democracy and free trade at their heart”. Maddox said these principles “have been the engine of their prosperity as well as the rationale for their global influence”.

She said in recent months we had seen “the rejection of principles of international law that the US helped forge – even if it often declined to apply those to itself”.

The UK and the EU must forget Brexit and try to mend ties anew, disregarding the messy Brexit years.

We need closer alignment, NOW.

Based on what I’ve read, the head of Chatham House is urging Britain to maintain a hardline policy against Russia and China, to distance itself from the US, and to forge closer ties with Europe.

Huge development, considering their close ties with the government. Starmer will pay attention to this. It’s almost like it’s giving cover for him to diverge more

Yes, let’s restore our empire and become the global superpower again.

The UK should be back in the EU and spear-heading a joint defence force, NATO or otherwise.

Hear me out, let’s start but not paying 100 million a year to give away the most strategic base in the Indian Ocean to a country that has never owned it and is very closely allied with China.
