Why are you so determined to be ruled by English public school wankers who hate you rather than "take back control"?

Keir Starmer often takes 2-3 days to issue very mild criticism of US actions. This is both direct and issued fast.
I think there is a serious risk that the US miscalculated quite what a big deal the Greenland thing is to Europe (and in Europe).

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

Keep watching - Trump and his circle almost have their precious goal: invoking the Insurrection Act.
As per said before: a great deal of what is being done is simply Trump and his circle working backwards from this objective.

The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money
I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

Nadhim Zahawi. Patriot.
Who patriotically founded YouGov and patriotically didn't pay £5,000,000 in patriotic tax he patriotically owed the UK.
And all that patriotism while he was briefly made patriotic Chancellor of the Exchequer, responsible for ensuring patriotic UK tax is paid. Patriotically.

Daily Telegraph reporting Nadhim Zahawi was denied a Conservative peerage weeks before he defected to Reform, Tory sources claim
Zahawi said to have made "multiple approaches" in late 2024, asking to be on the most recent political peerages list.
"We were very clear he wasn’t going to get one.”

Nadhim Zahawi was made Chancellor by Boris Johnson, only to call for a new leader a day later.
He backed Liz Truss as PM, before being appointed Tory Chair by Rishi Sunak, only to be sacked over his tax affairs.
His defection to Reform UK is another step in an eventful political career.

Remember when we didn't bother getting involved in the first world war because we only had <250k British Expeditionary Force troops to fight the Kaiser. Or when Chamberlain refused to join WW2 because Hitler refused to tell us when he'd shoot himself in the head in a bunker and end the war?

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
