From defence to trade, the incoming US president is upending the old order – and standing apart from our neighbours leaves us dangerously exposed, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland
Honestly, IMO Britain needs to just let go of this ‘special relationship’ nonsense with the US that we seem to think we have. It only applies when the US wants us to join in one of their wars, or hassle Europe about something which we can’t even do properly anymore since we left the EU. Otherwise the US really doesn’t give two shits about what we’re doing.
We’re a European country, not an American state. We should act as such and move closer to being part of Europe, instead of trying to suck up to an isolationist powder-keg on the other side of the world. (Which I’m assuming will be the case once the MAGAs are in charge.)
It only applies when the US wants us to join in one of their wars,
bwahahaha…
not when the UK is begging the US to save them in a war, it’s when the US wants to JOIN the UK in one of their wars… pffft… .goddamn… that is the funniest, dumbest shit I’ve read in ages.
The world needs to just shun him and his appointees. I wish the world leaders would just completely divest themselves from the US involvement. Just let us stew in it all.
Time to ween. It is going to hurt, but we need to grow apart if we are unwilling to act with any maturity and forethought. It’ll hurt the US as well. There need to be consequences.

Europe is DEEPLY dependent on the US though. That would be suicide and economic ruin.

You’re right, you’re not an American state. Shit, you’re not even an American commonwealth. You’re a vassal state lmao.
