  • We are taking him seriously, that’s why we’re improving our defences and strengthening our resolve to defend ourselves from military aggression.

    Would Europe and her allies “win” a war with the USA? Difficult to say, depends what the win conditions are. Maybe not.

    But she’s got enough strength to make it a many years long affair, ending in nukes if up against the wall. Europe may not win, but it’ll be a pyrrhic victory for the invaders.

    Hopefully that knowledge will persuade the USA not to wage war against us. The best outcome is peace and international cooperation through mutual trust and a strong moral center.

    We can only hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.





  • An attack on one of us is an attack on us all.

    Regardless of the outcome for us Europeans, good or bad, the USA invading a NATO nation will mean war. Hopefully a phoney war that’s resolved quickly, but regardless, war. Period.

    The question is, are they willing to burn every single alliance and friendship they have, and start a literal third world war, just to annex Greenland?

    And for what reason? If they wanted more military presence there (they already have some, don’t forget) they could just ask, Denmark is their friend and ally (not that the USA remembers this or cares about alliances any more), and would be open to discussing the details and sorting things out.

    It seems like the actions of a deranged madman, not the calculated moves of an intelligent, purposeful world power.











  • Ahh yes I see what you mean, you put it well. Starmer’s government isn’t hated (at least not significantly), but very few people like them - even the Tories generally had a lot of supporters during their various tenures.

    I wonder if the author will realise they could do with revising that somewhat misleading/hyberbolic statement, but at least I now have a better handle on what they mean. Cheers!

    Now, if only I could get a physical subscription to the Morning Star here in South Manchester, none of the newsagents stock it, and delivery from their website is too pricey :-(


  • I agree with most of these points, but this one stood out as nonsense:

    Keir Starmer’s government is now probably the most hated in living memory.

    Besides the fact that the likes of Thatcher’s government is still very much within living memory, even if we just look at just the recent past 20 years… The current Labour government are more hated than our recent Tory government, that we had for years and became so reviled that there was talk it may collapse for good? …Really?

    I don’t buy that at all. Sure, there are plenty of things to be mad at Starmer and the current lot about, I agree, but I see far less hatred for them than I did the likes of Cameron, Theresa May, and Boris Johnson, and their ilk. Faaaaar less.

    Anyway, great read besides that bizarrely inaccurate statement, thanks for sharing :-)
