Perhaps Nigel Farage would like to explain to the families of British soldiers killed in Iraq why he’s such a good pal of Donald ‘bonespurs’ Trump?
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Donald Trump’s Greenland ambitions – softened seemingly at Davos – have transformed attitudes in the EU and compressed timelines for decoupling from the United States.

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan.
Trump avoided military service 5 times.
How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

JD #Vance talking about the Titanic not to be turned around over night is the most accurate description of the current state of America. We all just watch it stearing right towards the iceberg (somewhere south of Greenland) - an noone feels ready to get the captain off the bridge and turn the wheel.

Trump schrikt Nederlandse toeristen nog meer af dan voorheen
De reisorganisaties zien interesse in Amerika afnemen sinds de inauguratie van Trump. Dit heeft vooral invloed op de langere rondreizen.

The EU is correctly reading this as a lane change, not a U-turn.
The extraordinary EU summit will go ahead as planned on Thursday evening, regardless of Trump’s Greenland U-turn.
The topic on the agenda remains “latest developments in the transatlantic relations and its implications for the EU.”

Trump shenanigans contributing to Iceland decision to hold a referendum on joining the European Union.
It will be the 11th non-EU country to apply to join.
If this continues, Britain will be almost alone in Europe in being outside the EU, isolated, poorer and weaker.
