I would like to hear the basis for anyone believing that trump will simply step down in the event that any form of election is held in the future.

I honestly don’t think he thinks in terms of ‘terms’. Does it look to anyone like he’ll simply walk away at some point? Are we still in that naïve space?
More of: I can do whatever I want because I’m President. He is daring someone to challenge him. How far off can, “and I’m sticking around for a third term”, be?

Even though it’s the second lowest rating of all at this stage of any presidency, it’s still far higher than it should be for the things he’s doing.
It’s not what he does that’s the most worrying thing, it’s the proportion of the US that supports it.

What I omit to say in my posts is that I’m genuinely quite optimistic of the outcome of the US’s thrashing about, especially what it could mean for the UK & EU, but I need to sit & write a good bit to explain my perspective, and the short term isn’t going to be great for anyone. I’ll get writing.

Promising if true, and I hear that Canada are possibly stopping further purchases in favour of the Gripen.
Unfortunately I do not think the UK is able to follow suit.

Military chiefs from most NATO and EU countries met in Paris yesterday to discuss new security arrangements. The US wasn’t invited.
It was a closed door meeting and there’s been no announcement of outcome but with both Australia and Japan in attendance we seem to be seeing a new alliance forming.

One of the greatest regrets dying people have is that they wished they'd been truer to themselves rather than living the lives people/society asked of them.
I think about that a whole lot, especially in this current situation.
It's not fame or money or work. It's self-acceptance.

There is increasing fear in Germany that F-35 jets purchased for the German army can be "turned off" remotely by Washington. This fear is shared by defense and security specialists.

The UK makes a most vulnerable partner. All it takes is a few verbal assurances that it’ll be okay and it’s in our best interests to do as we’re told and we remain loyal, hoping we can change the other, or that they’re not normally like this, it’s just the pressure; things’ll be okay in time.

I hear rumour that the US will no longer carry out any military exercises with Europe. That would be significant. Can anyone confirm this?

It’s a realistic consideration for a number of states, but the response would likely be quite Soviet-esque.

And let’s not forget the shared status of most of the RAF’s aircraft.
Congratulations to the senior Tories who, having been told this for a mere 60 years, and staunchly denied it throughout, have finally twigged that it might not be a brilliant idea to have a nuclear deterrent which can be switched off by another state.
