Dear EU

LOL.
Don’t believe this is going to fly. US is not the world’s policeman.
**Chortle**
Sure, we guarantee that if UK doesn’t like it they can commit their own troops and funds to fight Russia.
Send your muzzies.
Demand might be strong word but he essentially said “there HAS to be” ... So I inferred
Uh....no.
They can’t demand anything.
Western Europe has sucked on American tax payer teats for over 80 years.
Time for them to take care of themselves.
Dear former Colonial Power

‘There must be a US backstop’, says Starmer
Breaking
We can now bring you further comments from Keir Starmer who says there must be a “US backstop” after peace is secured in Ukraine.
Starmer says this is because a “US security guarantee is the only way to effectively deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again”.
Starmer says he will go to Washington next week to meet Trump and discuss “what we see as the key elements of a lasting peace”.
He says “we envisage a further meeting with European colleagues when I return from the US”, and he will speak to Zelensky in the coming days.
“We have to recognise the new era that we are in, not cling hopelessly to the comforts of the past. It’s time for us to take responsibility for our security, for our continent,” he says, adding he’s made it clear Britain will take a “leading responsibility”.
On Ukraine “we’re at the very early stage of the process”, he says, adding “Europe must play its role”, reiterating he’s willing to consider committing UK forces on the ground alongside others if there is a lasting peace agreement.
F___ off, Limey!
See the link at my reply #11. :-)
When it comes to influencing the Russia-Ukraine War and the peace agreement that will follow.
The British Dog has a lot of ‘bark’ but not much of a ‘bite.’
“It wasn’t always so.”
Wow. I paraphrased that quite well and we beat the BBC Website
Pleased with that effort
As for his comments.. He’s deluded..
The UK should be worried about its own borders.
He’s the UK’s POTATUS.
No Deep State on the planet hires the front office appearance types for brains or competence.
