Fukuyama: Trump is a bully who wants to dominate everyone around him. Trying to placate him with concessions is a fool’s errand. He despises weakness.

As an American, I say to my European friends: do not back down. Appeasing Trump with flattery has failed and must stop.

A presidential letter that will go down in infamy, with an equally infamous US electorate, dumbed down to the point of amoeba, voted in a Kremlin-backed stooge to paralyze western democracy.

If I were the Lib Dems press team. I would also do this but splice it with all the times Starmer has looked ridiculous by praising Trump.
Anyway, if I were the Labour press team I would be digging up absolutely every single positive thing Nigel has said about Donald, every photo of the two of them hanging out etc etc and I would be preparing to dump it like a bucket of cold sick over his head.

Is Starmer’s caution playing into Trump's hands?

The recent US National Security Strategy made it clear that tge Trump regime seeks to divide Europe, continuing the work of Brexit.

By not committing to join the EU's retaliatory tariffs, Starmer signals weaknes & division when unity is needed.

Donald Trump has been asked on NBC whether he would use force to seize Greenland

“No comment”, the President replied

The UK is facing this and Starmer is saying 'the US continues to be our closest friend and ally and I'm focused on what's good for working people and the cost of living'. As though both left parties either side of the Atlantic have contracted the reactionary centrist consultants to do the messaging
The US is collapsing into fascism and going to war with Europe and the opposition party is like “I’m here to talk about the important thing: how your average grocery bill has risen by two dollars over the last year, which I also have no plan or ability to fix”

For Europe to even considering participating in the World Cup Football propaganda event would be crazy. A boycott should be reflexive.
It might sound silly, but I mean it: The easiest and most potent way for Europe to hurt Trump this year is to once again use its cultural soft power and to threaten a boycott of the World Cup. It would become a completely meaningless event and would hurt him where he is most vulnerable - his vanity.

Never again wonder why Russia was willing to spend billions getting Trump into office.

Sadly, the Brits STILL don't understand it's all happening again with Farage.

Maybe Bernie should speak up against the United States threatening Greenland, Denmark, and Europe as a whole too, instead of making stupid jokes?
i feel like Americans don't get the level of eye-rolling this is getting from Europe

Weak, weak, weak. This appeasement must end.

Starmer should be uniting with our allies against Trump's threats, not splitting off to suck up to him.

Americans elected an idiot for president. They own that problem.
Americans fail to oust the idiot from office. They own that problem.
Americans have a constitution that fails to provide basic rights and freedoms to its citizens. They own that problem.
So, Americans, get your house in order. Please.

The German military personnel stationed in Greenland have unexpectedly received an order from Berlin to urgently leave the island, according to Bild.

15 soldiers and officers led by Admiral Stefan Pauli are already at Nuuk Airport and are due to leave on an Icelandair airliner.

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.

Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

Once again, Europe can't force the US President to be sane, so the question should be what is best for the continent, and that is to be the predictable good place to live and do business.

And not to follow him.

Emergency situation in the energy sector.
Since last night, the curfew has been eased so people can reach the Points of Invincibility (public warming and charging shelters) anytime.

We hold on.
But let’s not forget: we’re made of flesh and blood, just like you.

It's the United States threatening Greenland, not only Trump. The American people elected Trump, their rubber-stamp Congress is meant to control him. But they don't so they are part of the problem.
Americans are threatening Europe. Europeans who support the U.S. are traitors.
