No idea what kind of fantasy deal the EU thinks they can magic up. They've ducked or failed every crisis ever thrown at them. The EU has almost no military capability and is run by unelected nonentities. I'm just hoping the UK can somehow stay out of the mess.

Stay out? 🤣 The UK is the most mendacious and Russophobic of all involved..if anything, expect UK to keep pushing for a war with Russia that they can't even credibly show up for if it starts.

I'm clinging to my hope that Starmer is too incompetent to get what he wants.

Britain surely deserves better, you've had terrible luck in PMs for too long.

The most frustrating development of politics and news over the last decade is this condescending attitude that any opinion held by an individual was directly placed there by a person or organization. They can't seem to grasp that there are some people who simply observe things around themselves and make a judgement based on what they see. Instead every opinion has to have been placed in their head by Rogan, Musk, Trump, Putin etc.

I could imagine that journalists and politicians actually do function like this and they project this onto everyone else, but It is incredibly irritating.

Exactly. Just because they traffic in spinning narratives all day, Journos and Pols believe that the rest of us do as well. Re Rogan, the only two episodes I think I've completely watched were the ones with Trump and Daryl Cooper. Yet MSM weaves a tale as if the JRE was the sole reason for the outcome of the 2024 election.

I think that is what scares them the most. Those two episodes that you watched is an example of why. The chance that Rogan can air a guest that goes viral outside of his normal sphere of influence without warning is a major problem for "management"

And how many of the previous 27,567 meetings have resulted in a lasting peace? None.

It's easy to have a meeting and come to an agreement, actually keeping the agreements is the hard part. Ask Zelensky.

Our biggest mistake was the repercussions from winning World War II leaving the massive MIC in place; spawned off as a result of this were the IA’s - largely recruited from so-called “Ivy League” colleges - who were considered smarter than the average American who would form in essence “elite” opinion. The ripples began to form out from that quickly; a botched,bloody stalemate in Korea then the disaster of the Vietnam War overseen largely by “whiz kid” Robert Strange McNamara.

The so-called “elites” haven’t learned a damn thing only to how better game the system in their favor.

The problem with all the alphabet- IAs is that they were all seeded with Nazis like Gehlen, Muller, et al. What happens to a nation when its internal and external intelligence agencies are headed by Nazis? Let's also remember that hundreds of thousands of American Bund Nazis didn't just vanish in 1939, they simply took their beliefs and schemes underground. Fourth Reich, indeed.
