I'm in agreement with that Lib Dem MP, in that draft-dodging coward President Bone Spurs can very much go fuck himself.
What an insult to all NATO personnel who gave their lives in the Afghanistan conflict.
Why are we still hosting the US in their rent-free bases? Send them back.

The EU and the UK need to have a serious conversation about kicking the US out of their rent-free military bases, now that there's zero incentive to host them. The regime there has made clear their feelings about us.
Enough is enough.

Is the US still freeloading with their rent-free UK military bases this morning, or have they done the decent thing and fucked off?
It's clear the US has no interest in assisting the UK and Europe militarily any more. It's time to stop carrying the US.

AUKUS is like the bad smell of dead prawns sewn into the curtain hem by a resentful partner.

The United States is now punishing close NATO allies because they oppose him invading and stealing Greenland. The response of the Australian Labor Party and the Coalition is silence, pretend it’s normal and build even more US bases here. They are endangering our national safety.
