“[The people] should know that we have sustained a defeat without a war, the consequences of which will travel far with us along our road; they should know that we have passed an awful milestone in our history, when the whole equilibrium of Europe has been deranged, and that the terrible words have for the time being been pronounced against the Western democracies:

"Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting."

And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time”.

Trump is vastly worse than Chamberlain who genuinely thought peace was attainable (but was still rapidly rearming in case it wasn't). He didn't actively ally with Hitler and fought him when no alternative was left.

Trump is so far up Putin's arse, you'll have trouble seeing where he ends and Putin begins

I don't care about the Chagos. I don't care about a trade deal. And frankly, after that spectacle, I don't care about "The Special Relationship" anymore. The invite from the King should be rescinded immediately. It's time to take a proper stand against Trump and his thugs."

Zelensky is going to need every European leader at Sunday’s meeting to metaphorically put an arm around his shoulder.

In that clip you can see he is soooo close to telling Trump to shove it.

Vance is where the real danger lies. We can last four years (two really until the Dems take some power back). Even Ukraine can if we help it. But eight or twelve?

omg, what a pair of bastards.
Not Zelensky
Totally, I meant Trump and Vance

Very shocked that the press pack didn't intervene somehow.

I've sent an email to Downing Street demanding they withdraw the invite.

@SwedishPM

Sweden stands with Ukraine. You are not only fighting for your freedom but also for all of Europe’s. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

John Bolton
@AmbJohnBolton
Trump and Vance have declared themselves to be on Russia's side in the Russo-Ukraine war. This is a catastrophic mistake for America's national security. And let's be clear: Trump and Vance now personally own that policy. It is not the view of a majority of Americans of either or no political party.

Cancel the visit. People won't stand for this. I don't blame Starmer for giving diplomacy a go but...

The c-word rule is being pushed to the limit here.
