Now we know what they think of us. Time to strengthen our ties with Europe, even though those Idiots claim that Europe is dying.
Meanwhile, on the West Bank, that 0scar winning film producer has been assaulted and then 'taken away' by Israeli security.

This CNN report really gives all the details in full:

Very revealing as to the state of affairs given the growing occupation of the West Bank

I don't think Trump has "nudged" Europe, he has completely undermined the alliances that have maintained some sort of stability in the world. He's playing to his MAGA maniacs, who will love his bullying tactics, rather than being a responsible POTUS with huge power at his fingertips
Well said.
Unfortunately, American politics has been reduced to alternative facts, name calling, bullying and picking fights with former allies. Russia and China will be the only winners from Trump's presidency.

Netanyahu is a disgusting human being.

Jewish people have in the past always supported oppressed people - as they did, most bravely, in South Africa. There are still many who oppose Israel's actions but their voices are being drowned out.

Now we know what they think of us. Time to strengthen our ties with Europe, even though those Idiots claim that Europe is dying.
Meanwhile, on the West Bank, that 0scar winning film producer has been assaulted and then 'taken away' by Israeli security.

It's all starting to fall apart at the seams

Oh dear 😁

I don't think Trump was at the meeting as Vance said he disagreed with Trump on some things.
I think this will have angered Trump and Vance had to meet him in his office. Apparently all is well now between them.

Trump has complete amateurs in highly sensitive positions. It probably means they won't question his decisions, even when they should, which is why they are where they are!

FGT I don't think Trump has "nudged" Europe, he has completely undermined the alliances that have maintained some sort of stability in the world. He's playing to his MAGA maniacs, who will love his bullying tactics, rather than being a responsible POTUS with huge power at his fingertips. There were many more diplomatic ways of ensuring European countries step up to defend themselves IMHO he's a complete fool and I actually think he's showing signs of some sort of dementia.

Well it wasn't kept very secret, the channel they were using could have easily been intercepted and they accidentally included a journalist in the group. Honestly, what incompetence!

One of the contributors to the discussion was in the Kremlin at the time waiting to see Putin. Signal is reasonably secure for personal communication but should never be used for top secret communication. The Kremlin are clever enough to have followed this communication.

Trump has managed to nudge Europe into doing the right thing. Not before time. Some countries in the EU were definitely taking America for a ride.

Not just incompetence, but so very revealing - so much for secret - the worlds eyes are on the area and any actions taken by US.

Well it wasn't kept very secret, the channel they were using could have easily been intercepted and they accidentally included a journalist in the group. Honestly, what incompetence!

But surely in that case it should have been internationally discussed, not a secret mission by US only? I don't understand how are Europe "freeloaders? Are only the US paying?

GG13 I agree but it shows how unfriendly the US are to Europe now.
We have to pay our way.

What was said in the meeting (BBC) was that the US want to open the shipping lanes and charge the freeloaders meaning Europe for doing it.

I do not agree with the language used, but they have a point.

If the west is relying on the USA to police these shipping lanes and keep them safe for all to use, then it is right that all contribute either financially or militarily…

What was said in the meeting (BBC) was that the US want to open the shipping lanes and charge the freeloaders meaning Europe for doing it.

Houthi’s are funded by Iran.

Houthi’s (who are a terrorist organisation) began attacking shipping soon after the atrocities of 7/10/2023 and have continued to do so, this makes them a legitimate target.

And we know that the Houthis are attacking ships so not some random US assault?

Yes I heard on the news a few minutes ago, thank you

Yes the USA, we didn’t have several threads on the go on Biden

Trump is very much more volatile than Biden and causing unrest in many other countries.
The latest problem they've caused is inadvertently allowing a journalist into a top secret meeting about an attack on the Houthis. Vance was the most senior at the meeting as well as Hesgarth.
So the US are attacking in the Houthis in the Yemen.

Yes the USA, we didn’t have several threads on the go on Biden

The USA back Israel so of course they're important.

I don’t think Trump is of any importance in it , he only came to power January 2025,.

Yes that's what Netanyahu wants. If Gaza was part of Israel it would be called ethnic cleansing. But Gaza is Palestinian territory. Not that Trump knows or cares.
