With every passing day Brexit looks more stupid (didn’t think that was possible tbh)
It was obvious to many of us where our economic, security, cultural ties lay, let alone the fact we’re not a Superpower, no matter how much people want us to be.
Please God let this be sinking in to everyone now.

The UK was better off in the EU and Europe was better off with the UK in it.
All of this Trump driven chaos underlines that and you can practically hear Putin rubbing his hands in Moscow.
WE have deliberately weakened ourselves, our security and our region for absolutely no good purpose at all.

Zack is absolutely correct here.
Europe is at the point where it cannot trust the USA, either towards Europe itself or other nations. Even when Trump is no longer president, his hencemen like Vance will still be in power so we need to see this as a long term shift

Anyone else getting the same vibes from Trump as the Little Britain character who said, "I want that..." about everything, only to reject it saying "Don't like it" once he got it.
Spoilt toddler vibe. He's been able to have anything he wants, never accepted "No", and never felt any consequences.

I really don't like to say it, but it's time for all American allies to force close ALL American military bases in their respective countries. Maybe that would send a powerful enough message to the Felon in chief.

The algorithm isn't a problem if the content being pushed isn't harmful.
If the content is harmful then it has no place being on social media in the first place.
If platforms refuse to moderate then they should be facing consequences for their actions or lack thereof.

Show them how to use it safety, how to spot fakes and scams, how to avoid dangerous content.

It concerns me to say it, but the US should not be hosting the World Cup or Oly/Ply Games. The country is not safe or welcoming to other nations, or even its own citizens. These global events should be relocated.

Sums up how rubbish Badenoch is that she has been forced into a “You’re dumping me? I’m dumping you!” rather than just sacking and disbarring Jenrick over the many, many things that would have kept him out of any Tory Cabinet since 1968.

What too many people refuse to admit is while they search around frantically for signs that Trump will help Ukraine, what has really happened is that Trump has protected Putin while the Russians have criminally attacked Ukrainian civilian life. This foolishness must stop now.

Could the US not get Hollywood-types together to build a realistic set and move Trump into it; a sort of Truman Show, where Trump believes that he's "King of the World", and various dignitaries call to pander to him, whilst the grown ups get on with actually doing sensible leadership?
