In a post shared to Truth Social after the meeting, the US President said: “NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN.”
Yet again Trump shows his ignorance by confusing the words need and want like many under-5’s do. He wanted the legitimacy that other NATO countries would have given him, whether he needed help in an illegal war against an opponent whose defensive capabilitis had been degraded is unlikely. Any NATO allie who signed up would be guilty of war crimes. The Israeli killing of civilians continues with 254 Lebanese men, women and children slaughtered overnight. Ceasefire talks will continue but Trump has created a weak hand in negatiatons; Iran is not bowed by expletive ridden threats to end a civilisation, it remains capable of controlling or at least disrupting the Strait of Hormuz. No doubt the rw media will treat any agreement as a victory for him.
Meanwhile latest figures reveal that over 75% of our energy needs come from fossil fuels. This reveals a need to expand alternative sources of power for both domestic and industry. And interestingly an observation that people on benefits are better off than those working. Obviously by working they are referring to those on minimum wage and zero hours contracts. Whilst not totally dismissing this argument as right wing bullshit; it should be passociated with two major points. 1. People in council houses (the few, that are left after Thatcherism) do not own their properties and therefore gain no long term financial benefit from house improvements. And 2. why are so many on benefits when working full time for comapanies making huge profits and paying bonus’s of £millions. A fucked up society where thoughts are controlled by billionnaires in control of the media.
