Donald Trump has banned UK from sharing US military intelligence with Ukraine.
US troops, weapons, listening posts are in the UK, but the govt can't share intelligence with allies.
Can't recall the UK holding a referendum to become the 51st state.

I regret to say there has been a lot of foolishness on some sections the left about #Ukraine, echoing Russian and far-right talking points. (Just as shamefully, the same people supported Assad in Syria). Now is the time to put that foolishness aside. We should all stand with Ukraine.
