From what I read the UK is pretty isolated from Russian energy.

Europe Spends More on Russian Natural Gas Than Total Aid to Ukraine

2 min readThe EU is spending more money on Russian fossil fuels than on financial aid to Ukraine, a report marking the third anniversary of the invasion has found. EU member states bought €21.9bn (£18.1bn) of Russian oil and gas in the third year of the war, according to estimates from the...

You seem to be right but in a way it means almost nothing, because UK defense is tied into all those that need Russia's gas now, europe would be injured bad, take time to switch over to other source, cost bunches of money during vulnerable time.

War is a racket.

You're just going off in insane tangents ar this point. Maybe Trump is just trying to negotiate a peace agreement.

"Insane tangents"?

OK, connect the dots for me between Ukraine/Russia and Trumps desire for Ukraine to give up THEIR land, and Canada/Greenland/Panama, and Trump's desire for us to take over THEIR land.

Is he trying to negotiate the Ukraine Russia thing so that Canada Greenland Panama won't seem so crazy?
Or is he talking Canada Greenland Panama to take our focus away from the Ukraine Russian thing?

How do YOU tie it all together?

They can't run our f35's without our help in a significant capacity. Helloooooo are you there...? Wtf is confusing you? Your reply shows you don't even understand anything. You can look up individual facts but are shit for the whole picture.

You're being serious here? You think the RAF can't own/fly/maintain F-35s without us to babysit them?

Have you ever heard of a little known company named Rolls-Royce?
They are a tiny British firm that actually developed and builds the lift system for the VTOLF 35 fighter.

They made the engines for a really obscure plane known as the P 51 Mustang, another secret known as the B-52, the C-37, the E-11, and more.

Yeah, those birds really know nothing about aircraft

No need to explain, when I generally agree with what trump said. Go look it up yourself. You just want to argue. Europe takes advantage of us in trade, economically, etc., and militarily, but you just want to argue, be honest for once.

In other words, you're just repeating what Trump says, without having any understanding of what it means or whether it's even the truth.

But all that matters is AI vs humanity.

Has this ever happened in the past. We have people experiencing and participating in widespread delusion in the 10s, probably 100s of millions.

75 million voters are under the delusion that Trump is a good man, and not a ******, convicted felon, racist, misogynist, pathological liar, grifter.

Which delusion is more harmful to our country m, and our everyday lives?

Feel free to connect all those dots however you want. If you want to believe Trump, Putin & Musk have formed some sort of unholy triumvirate or whaatever other lunacy you can come up, I'm not gonna try and talk you out of it. Draw whatever connections you want.

How many billions of people live under the delusion that there's a great magnet in the sky who created us all and loves us?
How many wars were started in the name of religion, versus the number of wars started in the name of atheism?
How many crusades have the atheists gone on?
How many indigenous people from all around the world have been killed in the name of religion?

Talk about delusion on a grand scale...

Here is the thing. We elect our REPRESENTATIVES to do the work so we don't have to understand or know how they get the job done as long as it gets done legally and ethically. That's why Democrats were voted out. America wants something different. America wants TRUMP. America wants DOGE. Americans wants our tax dollars doing something productive for Americans. If you are arguing this as a bad thing then you need help that you aren't getting.

75+ Million voters know that the left did any and everything they could to prevent Trump from becoming President again. They fear him because they know he will do what he says he will do. 75+ Million voters saw through that crap. Now Trump is exposing them and doing what he said he was going to do.

Whatever you want to believe. I'm about as worried about Trump paying off a pornstar as I was about Clinton diddling the intern, but Team Blue got some felony charges out of there BS case - congrats!!! Chalk one up for Team Blue.

So you don't care about hundreds of millions of dollars of financial fraud, or violation of election law, and you acquaint those two to Trump having an affair with an intern?

Why is it OK for Trump to commit hundreds of millions of dollars of financial fraud, but everybody is cheering about musk and his minions "finding" financial fraud in appropriations already approved by Congress?

Rules for thee, but not for me?

When did you elect Musk to be Trump's boss?

If "legally and ethically" is what you're worried about, why are you cheering on Trump who is breaking laws left and right? Literally violated an ethics rule days ago when he promoted musk's Tesla business.

They fear him because they know that he is going to screw up the country yet again, just like he did in his last term.
And he already has in many ways.

The only thing he is "exposing", is his complete ineptitude, and what a piece of garbage he is. I'll find a list for you of all the illegal and unethical things he has done in just his first few weeks in office.
But I'm sure you'll find an excuse for every single one of them, because you do nothing but blindly follow.

Not one bit of this hysterical rant is anything remotely resembling an adult conversation on politics. It is literally the left continuing to be ignorant.

RELIGION. "God". The big magnet in the sky that billions of people believe created our universe. A universe that they used to think we were the absolute center of. Even to the point of believing our own solar system revolved around us.

The billions believe it without any proof whatsoever, with no proof ever being available, and with no possibility of proof ever being available. For example, Christianity is based on the tenant that there can be no proof, that you simply must believe.
That's a really convenient way to keep people under control. Put them in fear of a God that they can never be sure exists or doesn't exist, and who may get angry at them for hurting his feelings.
It's like telling a child to stay away from the pond because the monster in the water will get him.

Instead of the monster in the pond, the adult get a God in the sky who looks down on them and watches everything they do. He knows when they're sleeping, he knows when they're awake, he knows if they've been bad or good…

And billions are deluded into believing it.
