Why would anyone believe that the US will do now re a security guarantee for Ukraine that it failed to do after MInsk. Particulalry with a Putin owned POTUS in charge.
Ukraine is expected to surrender its most fortified region in exchange for a promise of security from a man who believes putin’s residence was attacked simply because putin told him so.
He accepts any absurd story putin feeds him without even bothering to verify it with his own intelligence.

Politicians are terrified of an electorate they think is far more authoritarian and angry and right wing than it actually is, because they are out of touch because the literal media - the thing that mediates between public and polity - is corrupted

Farage’s links extend from Bannon and mentor Epstein. Brexit and a weakened UK/EU were aims shared by Trump and Putin. Remember - Farage didn’t “accidentally” end up on RT: he was deliberately recruited by a Kremlin-funded broadcaster that specialises in amplifying Western division. They succeeded.

It is an odd one. Citizenship is a function of sovereign states. I hate Brexit and in theory would love to keep some EU citizenship, but the vote went how it went and EU citizenship outside a member state simply isn’t a thing. People are delaying being able to move on and/or campaign to rejoin.
