Wait, so Robert said that EU had no defense plan and not spending enough towards defense per NATO agreement and then he has nerve to complaining that US abandoning EU? 2nd, the reason why EU had not seen war was because they were backed by US military complex, let’s not fool ourselves. All these speakers talking circle. EU Politicians were too concern to build new world order that they forgot about defense of their own country. 3rd, since EU helped so many migrants maybe it is time for those migrants to stand with EU military to defend their new country. These people sound like whiny extended family who were under uncle’s protection and when uncle said, that’s enough, I need to take care of my own children now instead of babysitting, they having a fit.
Because the baltic states are next
There's only one good thing I can think of that may come from America's right-wing downfall, and that it that Europe makes sure what happened to America doesn't also happen there. Right wing politics, and Fox/Murdoch propaganda, led normal right-wing voters in America to abandon democracy and the rule of law. Oligarchs and the wealthy in every nation have determined that democracy itself is their enemy, because only government can reel in the excesses of unfettered capitalism, which is the goal of the wealthy. And basically, only truly democratic governments ever regulate capitalism.
STOP – buying US arms !!!
How I read it is – Starmer is joining forces with Europe to defend Ukraine. We are NOT in the EU for starters. Trump wants peace and is asking for an end to the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Starmer backs Ukraine no matter what the outcome to UK citizens. Italy wants nothing to do with it and I am with them. This to me sounds like an unbelievable concoction from the Labour government to stir up WW3. Correct me if I am wrong. We should have learnt from our forefathers what suffering incurrs from war and we should be taking every possible step to avoid it UK. I DO NOT WANT MY CHILDREN NOR MY GRANDCHILDREN TO EXPERIENCE WAR! Life is short as it is, we are here for a nano second in timescale of planet earth
Robert has a great point about “impartiality” in British journalism. On the one hand it’s how we prevent polarised news channels like newsmax but on the other, you’re giving free airtime to radicals on binary issues where the radicals are on the fringes of the ethical debate and maybe only represented a few percent of the general public’s opinion. The problem is that authoritarianism is founded on stupidity and impartiality is like giving demagogues and populism a free pass. Furthermore TV news and newspapers have got to compete with social media platforms full of radicals
I have long had respect for these Broadcasters….but obviously now very Left Wing and are crying about the necessary changes going on with President Trump…of course who knows Where it will all lead to…although the EU and Pinocchio Starmer are actually the War Mongers…
…true…look to this man, who is an criminal idiot and you know, run, cos solong this political joke is spreading fear over amerika, is the worldorder away…but the amerikans will stand up…more as befor…to finish this courios presedenty with trump the moron…
You have been teasing the sleeping bear for way too long and this is the outcome
Social liberalism is undermining our society. J D Vance had a point.
Oh no, perhaps we will have to cut the size of government!
The rules have not delivered for Western industrial workers, the 'deplorables', the people now on benefits because of deindustrialization. It's ok if you have capital and can invest globally, but not ok otherwise. Why should those who are not ok accept that if they can elect Trump? Re-shoring the industrial base appears attractive to them. Why would it not?
Agent krasnov is in the white house
Really what’s going on is for decades the United States was looked upon as the cash cow of fund wars. Well, everyone else likes to talk to talk. But now the United States is saying why are we the one funding the most money and Germany is giving 800 helmets. The United States has closed its bank and it’s gonna focus more on fixing the United States and everybody’s mad about it. Let’s see how long Europe can fund this war by themselves since they have no plans on ending this war.
Your days are numbered guys. Sadly Farage isn’t as ballsy as Trump but I live in hope.
Yeah. Send French and German troops to Ukraine soil. You could call them the Hitler/Napoleon Brigade.
Its a shame we gave America independence, they really just don’t have the brains to govern themselves!
I’d just like to say I’m not wearing a suit
Its gonna be a long four years! 🤦♂️
UK making a mistake blaming President Trump, please realize his attention is pulled to the Indo-Pacific and of course Europe is busy making it all about them!
I went to the Jewish museum in Warsaw and found out Russia has been trying to take over Europe for 900 years. The WHOLE of Europe.
European countries need to increase their defense spending but they also need to try and build bridges with Russia otherwise we will end up in a state of permanent tension/war. I'm not sure how easily that can happen because I imagined Putin would be gone when this war came to it's conclusion but good relations is better than the alternative.
The world just saw what happened to Panama Canal. When Trump says something, there is an executable plan behind it. So the world should listen carefully and take it seriously.
It’s wild how much energy we spend on politics and world events, yet so few people focus on their own inner peace. At the end of the day the real battle is within, in 2023 l read Mind Decoding by Keezano and it completely shifted my perspective. It breaks down how the subconscious mind is programmed and how to break free from cycles that keep us stuck. I never realized how much my own thoughts were shaping my reality until I applied what this book teaches🙏
Effectively at war? Are you mad
why do we still have a diplomatic representation with the US. or allow their forces to remain here?
Robert looks like he has minutes to live
If only these politicians and so called experts spend as much time and effort on securing our own borders from unknown fighting age men
Please no war…….the Country is in no fit state.
TRUMP PUTIN ORCHESTRATING A NEW WORLD DIS ORDER…NO ORDER,,DEMOCARCY HAD A GRIP ON THAT ,AND IT WAS FAIRLY NORMAL AND KEPT THE PEACE GLOBALLY EXCEPT FOR SOME BAD ACTORS… BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE MUCH MUCH WORST..TRUMP IS STIRRING THE POT WITH PUTIN,,MORE EUROPEAN NORTH AMERICA DEVIDE WITH CANADA TRADE AND MILITARY WARS!
Wake Up Before It’s Too Late
History has shown us that when leaders ignore reality, disaster follows. Yet, once again, we are watching politicians sleepwalk into a crisis they refuse to acknowledge. Western leaders—especially those who claim to fight for national identity, strong borders, and traditional values—are dangerously naive about Vladimir Putin’s true ambitions.
Many on the right, including Trump, Le Pen, and AfD, believe that Putin is an ally in the fight against globalism, progressivism, and uncontrolled migration. They see him as a leader defending sovereignty and national interests. But they fail to see the bigger picture—Putin is not interested in saving Europe or America. He is only interested in expanding Russian power, controlling neighboring nations, and, ultimately, dominating those who were too blind to stop him.
Western nationalists claim to fight for their people, their borders, and their sovereignty. But what will they say when Putin’s expansion reaches their doorstep? When he has already taken back parts of the former USSR and looks to impose his will on Europe, will they finally wake up? By then, it will be too late.
Europe and America are already in crisis—failing immigration policies, collapsing national identity, and progressive ideologies that weaken society. The solution is not to trade one bad system for another. Strengthening Western nations should not mean handing influence to a leader like Putin, who is just as much an enemy of national sovereignty as the globalists they claim to oppose.
The world is heading toward a moment of reckoning. Those who refuse to learn from history will suffer its consequences. Putin is not your ally—he is a strategist, waiting for you to let your guard down. If leaders do not wake up now, they will learn the hard way through painful experience.
The question is: Will they open their eyes before it’s too late, or will they continue down the path of self-destruction?
The norms are perpetual war, thank god the rule book has been torn up. Sorry war mongers, your dreams have been shattered
Don't exaggerate. The Ukraine us not in NATO. Brutal but true that no amount of aid has expelled the Russians. Trump is trying to broker a peace deal. He doesn't even have to do that. Zelensky needs to be more realistic. We dont live in a dream world.
