The United States has threatened to oppose Britain’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands if Andy Burnham does not increase defence spending, The Telegraph can reveal.
The proposal is among measures being drawn up by senior defence officials at the Pentagon as an incentive to hit Nato’s 5 per cent spending pledge.
A senior US official told The Telegraph that Britain was likely to receive “special attention” in Washington’s review of its allies’ commitment to Nato, which will examine whether member nations have credible paths toward the target.



When are the republians underneath him going to say enough is enough? We’re a long ways into batshit crazy right now.
voters keep rewaribg his choices in primaries etc …fuck voters.
Trump is there because America is like this, he’s a symptom.
The sooner saner countries walk away from the US en masse and group together, the better
When Bibi tells them to
When he finally improves the world by dying, they MIGHT. Depends on whether or not the cult has a new leader ready by then.
When he stops being insanely profitable for them
This IS the plan. Canada Tariffs, renaming Lake Ontario are all distractions for more serious news about Iran, oil prices, Trump stealing from soldiers paychecks.
Picking fights with friendly allies who won’t continue the fight after he Taco’s is the shtick.
Right now the “correct” people are making money.
So…when the money runs out or if something stops the money.
Probably when they lose the next election because of him.
Never,they’re either too evil or too stupid or both
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
Right? That runs through my mind so often nowadays. It’s about to the point I may just actually start taking pills so I’m fucked up enough to not notice all the fucked-up shit going on around me.
That’s stupidity working as intended.
You don’t want to even try to fix it. Your solution is to leave…mentally or otherwise.
He’s got a great grift going, why would they abandon that?
They need to wait until Vance can run for two terms.
So right after January 20, 2027.
I think there is a decent chance that after the mid terms dems get lots of control, they investigate and impeach, and then president vance can start to undo lots of the crazy Trump stuff to recover image with independents and be eligible to run for a full 10 years.
I don’t think Vance would actually win the 2028 election, but I’m pretty sure nobody is doing anything until after the mid terms.
Why would Vance change anything, he’s on the crazy town express with the rest of the far right nutters
He’s a psychopath who will do literally anything the moment requires.
He lives in Trump land right now but if Trump is out I expect him to be highly unpredictable especially if he’s in charge.
The crazy town express is a circus show to divert attention from the real shifts of wealth and power that are being orchestrated. The clowns in the spotlight do whatever it takes to keep the party in power so the railroad leaving trickle-down station can proceed straight to Oligarch hell (for everyone but the Oligarchs.)
