How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops.
Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.

Halfway up the Ukrainian veterans mountain hike in La Gomera, we told the lads they could have a breather and have five minutes to put their feet up.

Trump sincerely believes Norway stole “his” Nobel Peace Prize.
That isn’t a joke. It’s the key to understanding his second presidency.
We have to drop the self-delusion, over-intellectualisation and listen to him. America is no longer Europe’s ally.

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.

I had forgotten this, but it is consistent with Trump's efforts to pressure Zelenskyy into dangerous concessions to Putin. It should be (yet another) alarm signal to European leaders - Trump's goals in Ukraine may be the opposite of Europe's.
During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Absolutely brilliant thread from @ruthdeyermond.bsky.social on Europe, Ukraine, Russia & the US (& a bit of China). Takeaways: Russia is weaker than it pretends; the US's abandonment of Europe is more lasting than we hope; & Ukraine is more crucial to European security than we realise.
It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

The outrageous sanctioning of EU lawmakers and citizens in order to pressure democratically-elected European governments to change their laws shows just how intent the US government is on controlling Europeans' lives.

This week's US sanctions against European lawmakers and privacy activists is a major escalation. And it shows the dangers of Europe relying on American economic infrastructure.

And in what may be the most troubling thing of all, it appears that the US goal is NOT to break up the Russian Federation, the clear aggressor.
Their stated goal is to break up the EUROPEAN UNION, and to interfere in the internal affairs of EU members to drive political change.

As far as I can see, this nat sec strategy is far harsher on Europe than on Russia. There is no mention of a threat from Russia or of deterrence, only that "re-establishing strategic stability" is a priority. Europe is cast as a major threat to freedom. A radical, dangerous document.
