The security of other NATO states and European partners like Ukraine and Moldova cannot rely on continued alliance with a US whose leadership consistently put Russia first, even in relation to US interests. No amount of European diplomacy is going to change that.

I’m waiting for the joint Trump / Khomenei press conference where they both declare victory
So let me check this.
In 2008 you were doing this solo? No one to check your work or cover you? Or be trained to take over if you left?
And in the intervening 18 years that remained the case?
I’d need to try it first
I discovered I’d stopped following Ash too 🤷♂️
Thank you
Also I think you’ll find Winston Churchill doesn’t care.
Plus of course Churchill was famously a lover of nature. I don’t think he’d mind. Might even approve
The underground resistance role of badger SOE has never been recognised…until today
