In July 2024, I warned that if Trump were re-elected, "The age of multilateralism would be over, and something much worse will take its place. The UK and Europe will need to find the means of defending ourselves".
I was called "hysterical".
Well, here we are.

I never thought I’d argue for rearmament. But a looming Trump presidency changes everything | George Monbiot
A Putin-friendly president would pose a grave danger to Europe. Like it or not, this calls for greater defence, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Best way for us all to combat Trump?
1) Boycott all US goods
2) The UK rejoining the EU - which is increasingly likely, so join the national campaign 👇👇

People will say Greenland and Venezuela isn't the same, but it really is.
The USA has no claim to either.
Neither have committed any crime against the USA.
They both have Oil/Minerals the US wants.
They are both illegally threatened with invasion or have been.

Yup...
Some people really need to wake up and realise that the USA isn't going to protect anybody.
But it certainly might attack you.

Five years ago, our great American democracy was put to the test, and Donald Trump failed it.
The danger he poses was clear then, and it remains clear now. We must never forget that.

Q: Could January 6th have happened if Donald Trump had not called to assemble the mob?
Legal expert: It could not. He called the crowd knowing that they responded to his dog whistles, and when he knew there was violence, when he knew that his own vice president was in danger, he let things continue

Five years ago today, the United States Capitol was attacked in a violent insurrection incited by the President of the United States for one purpose: to overturn a free and fair election and cling to power in clear violation of the Constitution.

All because he reminded our military to stay true to their oath, his right as both a veteran and an American.
