2004 "Orange" revolution might be more appropriate; especially as that's what people are protesting against.

121 deaths and almost 2000 injuries? Yeah, a stretch.

I trust them to defend themselves, but not sure about further afield. UK has troops in Estonia.
How is everything looking around Gotland now?

Afd has pro-Russia leanings, but the UK never has. Reform could reduce support for Ukraine slightly, but it would be hugely unpopular. Most EU countries have far-right elements now.
Who do you see providing significant defense without UK, DE and FR

The EU defense force is yet to happen. JEF is led by UK. France does not yet cover the Europe with its nuclear arsenal.
Europe doesn't have the luxury of not trusting the UK, Germany or France. We're pretty screwed even with all three.

France and Germany working together is not "defense" against Russia.
You didn't answer my question. Which countries in the EU do you consider to be more reliable in European defense than the UK?

You are confusing the EU with security.
Brexit showed other EU countries what not to do, so it probably didn't weaken the west. I doubt it affected further integration in real way.
The EU is useless for security - slow, too much competition, no integration of equipment. That's what Nato does well.

You mentioned it.
Your original point was about trust in the UK. Which countries do you perceive to be more reliable in the defense of Europe? It has been through 4 PMs without changing stance on Ukraine. It is the only Europeans country to provide a nuclear umbrella to Europe.

Brexit prevented a European army? Lol.
The EU has nothing to do with European security. Brexit caused issues for the EU, but the UK remained steadfast in its commitment to European security.
The US and UK were targeted by Russian campaigns because they pose the biggest problems to Russia's goal.

Every EU country has a far right.
The UK left the EU. Norway is also outside the EU - Do you distrust Norway and Canada for being outside the EU?
What the US is doing is a huge threat to European security. The UK never changed it's role in European security.
Brexit and Trump are a world apart.

Americans in general seem very quiet when it comes to Trump's narratives. The Dems did nothing to counter his star spangled BS about the USA, so his grievance politics worked.
Americans don't want war, but taking Greenland by coercion with tariffs or forced referendum? I doubt they'll complain.

Any country would have worked for "the war on terror", but he had an excuse to invade Iraq. It was also considered "unfinished business"

Disagree with both...
Iraq was to show the Middle East that the US wasn't weak after the humiliation of Sept 11.
Greenland is about Trump's legacy (copied from Putin). US can already access their rare earths, and deploy military forces.

Lol no... Zelenskyy is hardly the same as Saddam. The situation was completely different. It was the false narrative which was the same. Everyone knew it was a reaction to Sept 11, not a liberation.

What security concerns? Chemical weapons that they'd had for years before?
Sure, Saddam was a nasty piece of work, but the parallel is that they claimed they were "liberating" the people.

Same as russians saying "Putin's war" with the intention of keeping Crimea.

ruzzia has a GDP the size of Italy, and has taken 4 years to gain about 1% of Ukraine. It's completely dependent on China. Its only export is oil - US will saturate the market. It has lost Iran, Syria, and Venezuela as allies.
The country works for Putin's legacy 100 years from now.
