@ianbetteridge if only there were some sort of congress representing people that could be responsible for enacting or withdrawing from treaties.

@Finitum

Alas, per the U.S.A. Constitution, the President does indeed have the treaty power, with the advice and consent of the Senate, and things have already changed since the 18th century.

So if it were ever tested in court, this Supreme Court, the most judicially activist in history, would probably strike down that law about not withdrawing from NATO without consent as unconstitutional.

He doesn't even need to leave NATO, having cut western Europe oil supplies all he needs to do now is go home and leave everyone else to sort out the mess he made.

Where next ? With a second front opened by Trump in the middle east in these opening days of WW3, does the UK and EU join China / India? Russia?

The Yanks, by electing the Orange Baby have F***ed the world

@cockneylaurie

It's actually the third. The number of nuclear powers involved in war was 1 on 2026-02-27, and 4 by 2026-03-01.

The people who encouraged the #FIFAWorldWar by awarding the #FIFAPeacePrize deserve to be excoriated by history for their appeasement activities. But the 77 millions who agreed with #DonaldJTrump ahead of time are, as you say, not to be discounted.

TLDR News EU — Is the US Stealing from Europe?

With the war in Iran imposing substantial material cost on the US Army, recent reports suggest that the US have been redirecting European money into rebuilding its own stockpiles.
