London is ready to send its troops to Ukraine to secure a “good deal” on ending Russia’s full-scale war, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said at a press conference with U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House on Feb. 27.

    If the UK and Europe all rally behind Ukraine as a massive fuck you to Trump, it would be absolutely magnificent.

    Trump is an absolute embarrassment. How he treated Zelensky was beyond shameful.

      So much of what is publicly known about the UK’s intelligence capability (presumably military too) is tied up with the US. Based on this alone I’d bet that we (as in the UK) are simply not in any position to turn around and defy the US.

      Remaining trapped in this position moving forwards is another matter. Europe has no choice but to develop capabilities that do not rely on the US. Only an idiot would think this is good for the US.

      I haven’t even been able to watch the video of them honestly, it’s a major source of depression as an American.

        It’s just a draft dodger and a couch fucker sitting there bullying the shit out of a person who has spent the last 2 odd years leading his country though a violent invasion.
