So he might have to unwind deals that haven't been signed anyway? Tough break for TACO.

When are people going to realize that there’s no point in negotiating with Trump? He is a fake. Loud but ultimately a fake. Walk away. Let him raise prices for everyday Americans. It will be years before alternative sources are available, if ever. He’ll cave if you stand up.

The bit that says "in September unless Israel holds to ceasefire" should be superfluous.

Such a waste. An outstanding prospect and the funds not being used to invest but just to shore up shortfalls caused by poor management of the club.

From what I understand this kid loves the club. And he looks a real prospect. And we have to let him go because we're owned by a fool out of his depth and out of time.

It feels as if my 55-year journey following the club is ending. It's tough because it's in the blood. But I'm disillusioned with the game in general that's now just a plaything for international billionaires. And following a club so consistently incompetent and uncompetitive in that world.

And he should retaliate! By withdrawing troops back to behind the borders agreed to and signed by his predecessor in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994. And then by continuing to respect Ukraine sovereignty.

Worked hard and were the unluckier of the two sides, but 8 defeats against the top 4 and only one goal scored is a clear indication that overall we're the mid-table side that the table suggests we are. Just need better players!

Pleased for Paterson. Has worked his way back in and has really earned it.

I can’t get over the number of people pointing out Europe can no longer rely on the US. Do you think these guys don’t get that? But what’s the point in saying it publicly? It could create panic. Europe has been idiotic in not pursuing its own deferents and now it needs to buy time. But it gets it.

I agree. No point in burning bridges publicly even if you think privately that the bridge is no longer there.

And in truth, now most people have experienced the impacts of Brexit, I suspect most people would realize that the UK is culturally and commercially more aligned with Europe, whatever the headbangers might say.

UK person living in the US 30 years. Most here ignorant of non-US matters but generally sympathetic to Europe. However, this administration is not, and faces only laughable opposition. US is lost unless Trump tanks the economy, He might but it's not certain. UK needs to focus on Europe asap.

Zelenskyy understands the situation far better than I, but I really he hope he signs nothing with the US. Trump cannot be trusted under any circumstances. Europe needs to give him an alternate path.

A wonderful, articulate explanation of why the west has a moral responsibility towards Ukraine. Also a wonderful example of the complete hypocrisy and spinelessness of the fools surrounding Trump. How desperate for relevance do you need to be to sell your soul like this?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I get that. I am from the UK, but live in NH, close to Canada of course. One senses trust from most Canadians has gone, something not widely understood here. Nevertheless, many in the US also despise Trump, and that's why you keep the door to discussions open. No one knows yet how this plays out.

I have no doubt that Starmer sees that this is a Europe-led mission. But diplomacy is also critically important. There’s a path to be followed here and I think France and the UK both get it. This is a time for steps to be taken but by people with cool heads.

I totally agree. I have no doubts that the European leaders in general understand their obligations to Ukraine will need to be on a go-it-alone basis for now. But you don’t sever historic links lightly. Anything could happen in the US.

I’m not an expert in this area at all. I’m not sure we have much choice but to ramp up as quickly as possible.

Reasonable view and he’s certainly susceptible to it. I don’t think we can wait though, and hope it makes a difference. It won’t. Although from the UK, I live in the US and he’s not on Europe’s team. He holds strong resentment with Zelenskyy for not lying for him during his impeachment trials.

Trump, and therefore the US, has gone. We need to accept that now. There is no time for handwringing. Europe must move on. Steady and decisive leadership from Starmer and Macron - leaders of Europe’s nuclear powers - is vital now. This is either Europe’s time or it could all end terribly.

Plan will not get anything other than lukewarm US backing at most. But it shouldn’t matter. Europe must step up here. Even if Trump is not compromised he’s backing Putin. He apparently just ended all cyber preparations against Russia. The US must be considers lost. No purchases from the US either!!
