I’m sorry to see England behaving as this twat nation that supports all the US foreign policy adventures however disastrous simply because we wish to have a ring-side seat at the top tables. This doesn’t in fact give the UK any influence: you can only be part of the game if you agree to support the US unconditionally, which we shouldn’t.

Donald Trump is not America First. As a businessman, he saw a gap in the market: people who wanted an end to immigration and an end to foreign wars were being underserved in the US political market. He could become president by claiming an interest in those causes. He has ended illegal immigration, but now wants large-scale Chinese legal migration and is unlikely to reverse the Biden wave of illegals. His clampdown on condemnation of Israel in US universities shows that Israel First is his main motivation. Some migrants may be deported if they’re anti-Israel. Those migrants won’t actually be missed. America doesn’t need people who support EITHER SIDE of the conflict in the Middle East, but the justification is rather Israel First than America First.

We see that Trump has not ended the war in the Ukraine, but continues to provide intelligence and targeting information to Zelensky. He has backed Netanyahu in Gaza and boasted in the Knesset that he is personally controlled by Israeli foreign agents and funded the genocide in Gaza. If Russiagate was a hoax, Israelgate is not, although Democrat support for Israel is such that I don’t think he will be impeached for genocide (maybe for something else after the mid-terms).

Trump has bombed Iran on Israel’s behalf and we are gearing up for Round Two. His minions in the White House were caught in a Signal chat laughing that they had actually killed innocent civilians in Yemen in an airstrike. Trump has bombed Somalia a couple of hundred times, but this has gone largely unreported. He has bombed Nigeria too. He has installed al-Qaeda terrorists at the government of Syria. He has threatened Greenland, Panama, Canada. He apparently has little time for America as such.

The Venezuela thing is nonsense too. He might have a point only if Venezuela refused to take its migrants back or allowed China or Russia to set up military bases there, relatively close to the US. Maduro made clear he would agree to anything the US asked for, and so there was no reason for the US military operation in Venezuela. But it seems this is about a vain man (with nothing to be vain about) who wanted a little war against a defenceless country to make himself feel good about himself.

If countries can simply march in and seize presidents, then we are n for a real free-for-all in geopolitics. International Law isn’t law in the original sense of the word “law”, but there is logic to having a very basic agreed system. The toppling of Maduro was illegal, and doesn’t actually match any identifiable US interest.

Most importantly, the UK should condemn this, leave NATO and expel US troops in the UK. The US is in a headlong decline, but is determined to take the whole world down with it. We shouldn’t join them for the ride. Why are we even allied with this country? The original reason was that they were white Anglo-Saxons—our “cousins”—but in fact the US pursues explicitly anti-white policies at home that will see the white majority come to an end in less than 20 years’ time. We will find ourselves doing the bidding of a country that is no longer peopled in the main by our cousins. It is time to stop riding this particular tiger.
