Detangling the complex web of a century of cooperation is a big ask, but I really hope that moves are afoot to do so.

Really don’t think we should have hostile military forces stationed here whilst they threaten to invade our close ally just across the North Sea.

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

A new defensive alliance without the United States doesn’t seem like a bad idea now does it?
NATO appears to be increasingly redundant and we cannot rely on the American public not to continue voting for this dangerous madness.

It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it.
And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

Enjoyed reading Will Hayward’s predictions for the year ahead in Welsh politics - agree with most.

I’d just like him to acknowledge that the Trump Regime’s actions are illegal - and illegal on a consistent basis at that, on multiple fronts.
Just some backbone would be welcome rather than constantly pretending things are up for debate.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.
