Rinse & Repeat

'Since' Suez?

Brexit has arguably been far more damaging than Suez with the damage looking set to continue for a long time yet.

9 years on there is still a ludicrous Brexit omertà being indulged in by large swathes of the UK media and establishment.

Brexit was, is, and will always be nuts.

If they got everything they could ever dream of they'd still whinge for Britain. They're addicted to whinging.

The real pity is that they've driven Britain down the toilet... in large part because they've been allowed to.

How did Jon Culshaw end up being your LBC profile pic?

Kick them out already FFS...

MAGA are so captured by the BS that there's nothing Trump could do that they wouldn't turn themselves inside out to excuse/justify.

They think they're 'in' on the grift whereas Trump wouldn't p!ss on any of them if they were on fire.

They'll never see it either because they don't want to.

Reform voters don't care about this stuff.

They care about the short lived dopamine hits they get from the occasional opportunities they get to give two fingers to the 'establishment/system'.

Siding with tyrants and bullies and basically telling those who are attacked and bullied to suck it up... that isn't working hard for anything.

Post globalisation no country is too big to fail... not even the US.

Trying to roll back the clock to some bygone pre-globalisation era is like trying to un-invent something.

It doesn't work and the global economy will simply recalibrate around those doing the dumb stuff.

Brexit was the same.

The best thing for Tesla would be for Musk to divest and then for Tesla to rebrand themselves.

Musk 'refocusing' on Tesla will only make things worse for Tesla.

Brexit has long tentacles that will go on for decades...

The only thing Russia can be trusted on is to be untrustworthy.

Bingo...

They're on a loser with this case and Trump knows it.

The Trump administration will soon be moaning about the growing imbalance between foreign tourists visiting the U.S. and U.S. tourists traveling abroad.

A campaign for Americans to vacation at home will follow and then growing restrictions on U.S. citizens traveling abroad.

U.S. media will avoid any negative coverage which is really all that counts for Trump and his administration.

They won't care about any protests etc. as long as the protests are kept out of the news back home and away from Trump's base.

It's not Zelenskyy's fault.

It's Putin's fault.

Anyone who loses track of that is lost and is choosing to allow the BS to win. End of.

Only in America would the Dems be considered left wing.

Large parts of the U.S. media have very effectively gaslit large swathes of America into believing it.

In 10 years time there will be MAGA remnants claiming Trump's antics were great, just as there are still some Brexit zealot remnants claiming Brexit was great despite all of the evidence to the contrary.

Whether both nations will still be treading on eggshells around the zealots is anyone's guess.

They'll be back, prodding, looking for other ways, testing boundaries.

They're exactly like the Brexit zealots... as in they're zealots.

This is all very reminiscent of Brexit.

They never give up. They're like children constantly prodding, poking, testing boundaries.

No doubt more chaos to come.

The wheels seem to be coming off Trump's tariff idiocy.

Russia doesn't thrive in 'normality'.

There are no global Russian brands worth talking about, other than some fossil fuels, a few luxury items and vodka.

Russia's wealth was plundered and squandered.

Post-globalisation, isolation is difficult if not impossible to achieve unless you want to be North Korea

Trying to roll back to a pre-globalisation time is like trying to uninvent something. It's not possible and it doesn't work.

The global economy will reconfigure just as Europe did with Brexit.

They're not interested in a level playing field.

It's all nonsense.

Trump wants trade rigged in favor of the US, to extort from countries around the world and for the world that has higher standards in various sectors to drop them and to accept American standards.

Isn't the entire tariffs on the Far East thing partly about bringing 'making little cell phones and things' back to America?

Self sufficiency and all that crap?

He's all over the place and contradicts himself constantly... 🙄

He's just a distraction puppet in the Project 25 end game.

The peacemaker... 🙄

Up is down. Black is white. Night is day.

Blah blah blah...

Does America ever tire if this idiocy and the endless grievances uttered ad nauseum from the richest country on Earth?

Cos the rest of the world is bored shitless with this tedious and infantile BS.

Very reminiscent of Brexit.

Those closest to these acts of madness cannot see the wood for the trees, whereas those observing from outside can see the lunacy and the repercussions in all of their 'glorious' and tragic detail.

There is a large swathe of the American populace that wouldn't be able to handle a black woman POTUS.

They could barely handle Obama.

So there is every chance there would have been chaos if Harris had won... just not the same type of chaos that Trump has unleashed.

Yeah... trying to straddle both sides is going to fail bigly for Labour if they persist with it...

Probably partly down to how feeble the response has been from the majority of Dems and from 'ordinary' Americans to the provocative idiocracy now in office.

It's now not hard to imagine the current administration running amok around the world while Americans shrug and go along with it all.

Allies... 🙄

Because despite the evidence, people are still looking for even the slightest smidgen of redeeming qualities in this administration when there are None. Nada. Zilch.

They are unaccountable and therefore they will do whatever they like.
