King Charles issues coded challenge to Trump over NATO and Ukraine
POLITICO ^ | April 28, 2026 | Jack Blanchard

British monarchs deliver their political messages in code — and the reference we just heard Charles make to 9/11 is worth unpacking. “In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time … we answered the call together, as our people have done so for more than a century, shoulder to shoulder,” the king said.

Make no mistake — this is a carefully targeted rebuff to Trump and his allies in Congress that, contrary to the president’s repeated claims over recent weeks, NATO was in fact there to help in America’s hour of need. Charles will visit the 9/11 memorial in New York City tomorrow, so the attacks there almost 25 years ago are very much top of mind.

The king went further still, linking that seminal moment in 2001 to the need to maintain Western unity in support of Ukraine as the war continues. “Today,” Charles said, “that same, unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people — in order to secure a truly just and lasting peace.”

The king can’t handle his own brother, his own son, his own Deep State..

KCIII’s mouth is writing checks his butt can’t cash.

Irrelevant because it happened in the past. What matters is what they do now support wise and it’s nothing.

The American, and British citizens of today are quite different from their counterparts a century ago, as are their governments.

What a disgrace that this man who has been allowed to play monarch, this man who has embraced his Country’s mortal enemies’ religion, subjugated his Country to those enemies that would destroy it, is given room on the international stage and his insane mumblings parsed as though relevant.

Almost as disgraceful as Biden tottering around in the fog of senility. May Britain find her way back to the light past this decayed and profoundly treasonous king and his son who seems equally bent on destroying the British heritage and way of life.

They all come here and want the US to go fight and pay for all their wars.

Sorry Charlie.

Yes and when we explain to them that Greenland is not secure they reacted like children. When we took on Iran which is more of a threat to them, they acted like cowards and traitors.

The Europeans are morons who have led the world into destruction many times over throughout history. Now they seem to think history ended with 9/1 and they get a free pass for everything since.

Bull💩 - The EU used NATO for non-NATO actions to serve itself and then turned its back on us when we went after the bigger threat.

Tell us about your close friend Jimmy Savile the child rapist. This prick isn’t elected and supposedly has no power in governance. Why do we allow him to hone assaholic lectures to Congress? We used not to bow to royalty.

A Brit monarch has zero business speaking to Congress.

The joint response to 9/11 was to pivot the West to a surveillance state in which each of the 5 Eyes Anglosphere countries spied on the others’ citizens so the could pretend they weren’t spying on their own people.

The intelligence community thus runs the country; the modern deep state.

Since the people don’t want this, the apparatus is against us not for us, regardless of public acronyms used.

Tl;dr Chuck came over and told the deep state he’s with them. Glad that’s cleared up …
