To the extent he has a ‘policy’ vis-a-vis NATO, it largely mirrors the statements made by German chancellor Merz earlier in the year; that the US is no longer a reliable partner for European security and that Europe needs to begin pursuing an alternative arrangement. Which is just realism.

I’m sympathetic to concerns about European security but the cold hard reality is that if NATO was the catch-all guarantee of security it’s sold as, we wouldn’t have just had eight European leaders flying to Washington to sit opposite their largest partner while he slunk off to check in with Vlad!

It sounds like the pro-Russian Corbynists have found a new home in the Green Party.

Yes, I thought at first it was more 'Stop the war nonsense' but it is more looking towards a Europe version of NATO. The Ukrainians think the last country to leave NATO will be 🇬🇧, due to the 🇺🇸 relationship. Meanwhile, Europe has nothing, 🇺🇸 is not reliable and Putin is going to test Article 5. 🫣

europe has plenty though, look at all the arms manufacturers here and ramping up daily why talk us down ... US under trump is more than unreliable but a traitor BTW

I hope that's the case, but he has turned up to STW rallies, apparently.

I hope that is the case aswell. 🤞🫣 The MOD think Putin will test Article 5 in the next five years, probably via Svalbard island or Estonia and nobody trusts the Yanks. 🙁

All the more reason to crush Putin in Ukraine.

I got all of this information from the daily Telegraph podcast on Ukraine. It is really stange how The Telegraph are batshit crazy on most things but very good on Ukraine. 🙃🤷‍♂️ Ukraine: The Latest podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/u...

Surprised, as I always thought that they were Russia boosters (business-wise, at least).

There never were any pro-Russian Corbyn supporters; that's just how centrists chose to describe left-wingers who dared to mention that the war in Ukraine was a proxy war brought on by decades of American interference. I've got news about the centrists' antisemitism claims too if you're interested?
