How was judge Nap a “new man?” I know he’s a queer open borders POS.

[Uncle Miltie]

Good riddance to the guys who spy on us for the Democrats, support terorists, and shill for the Globalisation movement.

Of course this is a big win for China and Russia.

And a worst loss for Taiwan.

And an ominous signal for the future security of the United States.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for us to believe and, more importantly, for China to believe, that the United States will interpose kinetically against a takeover of Taiwan. Absent such a credible belief, or fear, China will inevitably move aggressively against Taiwan and the United States will be put at severe geopolitical disadvantage.

Among the disadvantages, will be a precious relationship with Australia that we have perhaps squandered for no compelling reason. We have cast off these Pacific allies and in doing so encouraged aggression by China.

Our feckless policy in Europe requires us to ask if this disassociation from the Southern Pacific is but a part of a plan to withdraw to fortress America that this administration apparently wants to create, isolation that would extend from Panama to Greenland.

Considered in parallel with our estrangement from NATO and threatened abandonment of Ukraine, one is driven to the conclusion that the administration is bent on a fortress America isolationist last stand.

We shall have to wait and see whether our relationships with Japan and Korea prosper or whether they will also be cast aside.

If this president believes the security of the United States lies in doing "deals" with Russia and China to secure their benevolence, rather than aligning the world to deter their aggressions, we will be forced into fortress Europe when our internal leftists will ultimately gain enough control to open the gates and let the barbarians in.

Isolationism is the sure path to surrender.

“..Wonder if the timing of this is related to the John Bolton raids in any way... “

Most likely. One could almost take it to the bank, but no definitive proof of it. At least, not yet anyways.

No they’re not our allies but the British people themselves are begging us , once again, to come and save them.

It’s shocking and sad to see what has happened to the UK but they did this to themselves.

I think it’s rather irresponsible at the very least to put a socialist prime minister in office and then start bitching when everything goes to ruin and on top of that beg an ‘’ally’’ to bail you out.

[Dr. Sivana]

Translation please.

“Five Eyes” (US, UK, CAN, Australia, NZ) minus one eye (US) is”Four Eyes”.
”Four Eyes” is a euphemism for someone who wears glasses.
It is an old saying that “You wouldn’t hit a guy wearing glasses.”
It was a joke on my part. Maybe lame. But that’s what it is.

[subterfuge]

Oh. Thanks.

"The governments of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom are not our allies."

All you have to do is look at how they treated their citizens during Covid.

[Mariner]

They were co-conspirators in the Russia Hoax.

That makes them enemies of the American people.

[SoConPubbie]

Of course this is a big win for China and Russia.

I doubt it.
