I have kept on waiting for Starmer to rise to the occasion, assuming that there must be some serious behind the scenes calculations going on about the right approach, but I increasingly fear that he actually just can’t and won’t- too hidebound by fear, caution, and lack of vision.
Here is another statement by a western leader, this time Friedrich Merz, that it is hard to imagine Keir Starmer or any other UK political leader making. Brexit has left Britain completely adrift, with nothing useful to say and no idea what to do as the old world order crumbles

All of Trump’s noise and apparent strength hides a deeper truth: rapidly diminishing American power. Trump is a manifestation of that as well as cause.

Trump in Davos, Switzerland:
"Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German".
German is the main language of Switzerland.

Sorry if this is a bit sensitive, but does Donald’s acquisitiveness (now extending to Greenland) possibly derive from a resentment at not being the eldest? Notwithstanding your father’s decision to forge his own path.

The KGB and Mossad are exceptional at getting Kompromat material to use against ‘enemies’
The Epstein files are junior league compared to what Putin and Netanyahu has on Trump.

Trump says it's "not too late" for him to name the Gulf of America the Gulf of Trump. Suggests he's joking. He isn't.
