I’m sure this will go down enormously well with the US armed forces.

Graham isn’t an impressive human being, is he?
Often feels like one way rival factions can talk Trump into military action is if they can promise him decapitation strikes that can top Obama watching the killing of Osama bin Laden

I see this man is once again being distracted from his true calling in life by the need to find a new Celtic manager.
I was aware of Dermot Desmond the majority shareholder at Celtic as a name, but I was unaware he looked quite so much like he should be tying damsels in distress onto railway lines.

Is not going to happen. US is in a death spiral. Whatever is left/comes out the other end will be very different.
"Vassal" talk is a bit much, but those Starmer (and other EU leaders tbf) statements read like all these people still believe, if we can just hold our breath for three more years, this nightmare will be over and we'll be back to singing Atlantic Kumbaya

Nothing about these people provides an impression of competence. They are well on the way to crashing the US economy and society in general. i doubt they have anything like a plan for Venezuela.
Lets see how it goes from here.

Trump must be very happy with the elite media coverage, which has by and large been breathless. For shame.

Yeah, he'll be gone by Easter.
Starmer effectively gives the US the UK’s backing over Venezuela.

He will.
I’d suggest Mexico is a hole different enchilada to Venezuela.
Next stop on the War Tour:
Trump to Fox: “Claudia Sheinbaum is a good woman, but the cartels are running Mexico.
“She’s not running Mexico — the cartels are running Mexico.
“Something’s going to have to be done with Mexico.”

Of course it is.
The fun part here is that people who don’t like migrants largely believe this because they’re constantly screamed at about menacing immigrants from every TV, radio and news stand, and the whole reason that’s done is to discourage people from noticing who it is that gets most of the money, and how.

Personal opinion:
If KS does agree to this, then he & every Labour MP who DOESN’T openly oppose I will consider to be traitors to the UK and its population.

“Everyone needs to pay but me”
I often think back to a Greek taxi driver who once told me: "Too many people want the harshest laws they can imagine - for everyone except themselves."
This thinking is rife on the right, but it is also prevalent in a significant minority on the left. And that last part always takes me by surprise.
