Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

STATE OF ISRAEL MINISTER OF DEFENSE Mr. Pete Hegseth Secretary of Defense United States Department of Defense United States of America Dear Mr. Hegseth, As the new administration enters into office and a new chapter begins, I would like to congratulate you on your new position as Secretary of Defense of the United States. I am certain that with your leadership our countries' ties will reach new heights. The defense alliance between our nations is marked by shared goals and values of peace, security and prosperity. The longstanding commitment and ironclad support of the United States to Israel's security and its Qualitative Military Edge, is of great value. Since the massacre on Oct 71h, Israel has being fighting a war against the multidimensional Iranian threat on 7 fronts. We have made many achievements and dramatically weakened those who seek our destruction. The support of the United States during the war highlights the strength and importance of our defense partnership, proving that when we stand together we are stronger. Iran and its partners continue to threaten the regional and global stability. The upcoming months present us with challenges that require military readiness and opportunities that allow us to further our strategic goals. I am confident that together we can succeed, creating long term stability and a better future for the region. Alongside this, Israel and the United States must work together to be at the forefront of the technological, military, and defense industrial base. The continuation of cooperation between our counties is vital to furthering our success and power across the globe. I am looking forward to advancing and deepening our bilateral ties in the future. Yours Sincerely, Israel Katz Minister of Defense

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

So is Trump really gonna annexe Greenland? 🙄 Obviously not, but the question always has to be what is he, or his team, trying to distract people from.
