A cross party committee of MPs has warned that the UK and our allies need to prepare to defend Europe without the US.

It's time to face up to the threats that we're facing - and we urgently need to end our reliance on the US.

UK and NATO allies need to prepare to defend Europe without US, MPs say

The increased unpredictability of the White House's security priorities is upending NATO assumptions on the defence of Europe - which has always been built around a belief that the US armed forces would be the dominant power on the side of the allies in a war.

@ZackPolanski That means staying in #NATO, Zack - &, as for your argument that #Trump means we should get out of it, he isn't going to stay #POTUS forever, thank goodness. Indeed, come 20th January 2029, he's out, no matter that he wants an unconstitutional third term.

Why? Take the US out of NATO and NATO in its current, US-centric state ceases to exist anyway.

@ReggieHere @ZackPolanski Nobody is talking of taking the #US out of #NATO - I was talking of taking #Trump & the #Republicans out of the #Government of the US. Hopefully, the mid-term #elections this year will begin that process, provided they are allowed to proceed without the kind of #VoterSuppression the #GOP want to impose.

I heard this very often in the last weeks, the mid-terms will be a showdown for Krasnov, hopefully. To me it sounds like whisteling in the dark. I wouldn't count on the mid- term elections in November after all we have seen so far. We are talking about the man who is in charge for the storming of the capitol in 2021. He knows the mid-terms could be his waterloo and he will do anything to avoid this.
