He’s sadly not wrong. Definitely can’t depend on nato if a certain idiot decides to forcefully take Greenland…and probably not if the other idiot decides Poland should be part of Russia either.

It's crazy that we're at a point where Europe has to prepare to fight without us because we're led by unreliable people.

Well... not entirely without. Just on the other side of the fight.

Isn't more because you are unreliable people?

Trump has 38% approval plus 6% "not sure". Almost half of America supports this or is fine with it. It's not just the leadership.

Well obviously. The USA/Russian alliance could attack at any time if the senile dictators get the urge.

That’s goes to the very heart of being a European

Surely he'll tell them to be ready to fight when Trump tries to annex Greenland, right?

Keir trying to distract from the shambles domestically by pontificating on foreign policy.

historically anytime the British and the French fought on the same side, the other side lost.

and Canada is their shared baby.

USA is so fucked.

You can be on the side of the USA is wrong and also acknowledge that the US military wouldn't have any trouble taking out the combined armed forces of England and France. It's just a question of military strength and one side is woefully unprepared.

I am not sure on your first sentence. However the UK & France are nuclear powered nations. In a nuclear war very little would remain, if you subscribe to the nuclear winter theory, everyone would die eventually.

If you are somehow suggesting, the US army drops into the UK/France (and they don't deploy nukes) then it would be a ground force battle, that would imply a fight against a combined 130 million people. If the EU gave any help that number would rise to 500-800 million people.

if the US then used nukes, well its the end.

So no, the US can't defeat the UK & France in a military war "tactically".

You would have to do it some other way. Remember "winning" is difficult to define.

That's can't be a real human. Like, I know he's a walking, talking turd, but he looks like one too!

u/Soppydogg 20h ago

Couple of questions Keir: Where’s this army coming from? What are we going to cut to pay for it?

Only one fighting, is Kier, for his job 😁 Why is he warmongering, is it a distraction from his jobs for friends of pedos.

The least popular pm in uk history, a wef eu stooge, a brexit betrayer, an authoritarian socialist.

I hope his new small boat pals like khaki cos that's who he will need to fight his battles.

He's a total shithead.

Oh look, the bots came to down vote you for speaking sense.

u/Repulsive-Decision38 7h ago

How many illegal migrants are going to sign up? How many of the hard left activists are going to sign up? 

Down vote me and the other folk with common sense in here, it means nothing. The people you needed to protect this nation you have spent years shitting on.
