I didn’t Think I’d ever agree with Dave Paulden, the Breast Whisperer, but if Trump actually invades Greenland this is the reasonable course of action, and we’d be mad not to plan for that eventuality.

If Trump isn’t even going to help Ukraine, I don’t see a reason for US troops in Europe.

>Second, he called for the UK Trident nuclear weapons system, which “relies on the USA”, to be ditched “fast”.
Trident is operationally independent. Yes, we should have our own launch system, but ditching them without a replacement is stupid.

He’s right. All the soft power the US has needs to go.

For the UK to prepare properly for that they must invest significantly in the military. How much funding would Zack Polanski give the military?

At this point we are just procrastinating….the direction of travel is clear. We would not have not survived WW2 if the Germans had troops stationed in the UK.
How to force them out is tricky though…

Genius. They can take all the intelligence and nuclear deterrence infrastructure with them. Putin wont notice because Zack will hypnotise him into believing their still there! At least Reforms leaders will surrender properly.

I don’t want to hear any military advice from the guy who thinks a world without nukes will be a safer place.

Trump is a plank but tearing up 100 years of partnership because of 1 orange silly sod is an incredibly stupid idea. The man will be out of office in 3 years tops anyway.

Says the guy who wants us to leave NATO and leave us defenceless. Does anyone take him seriously? He is the left’s answer to Farage, promoting populist left ideas with no real plan.

The same man who was in France helping migrants ONTO boats?
Remove American presence, increase destabilising migrant flows previously linked to Russian Tactics during the start of the Syrian war, remove nuclear deterrant.
I don’t think he is saying it because he is upset about Greenland and has our best interests in heart lads
but_yet-so_far on
the french were right about this one, that is to say seeking strategic autonomy when it comes to national defence
that does not mean we must cut our noses off to spite our face, if there is a US base that carries out things that we are not capable of doing , we shouldn’t just shut that base down, that’s stupid.
but long term, and im talking many years, i feel that that is the direction we need to go
that does not mean you have no allies or partnerships, France is part of NATO, they share intelligence, they take part in joint military exercises etc, and they are able to do all these things without having a single US base in their country….

This is why Zack Polanski will **never** be allowed to run UK! This is why Corbyn was **never** allowed to be a PM. UK has lost its soverenity long ago (perhaps as long ago as ’41) and will do as it is told by USA. Don’t blame Trump, he is just not very subtle about the relationship.

I agree with Zack on this. Pack up your bases and all your nuclear early warning systems that we’ve all hosted to keep your country safe for the last 60 years and fuck off back to America to enjoy your dictatorship. While you’re at it you can take those tech wankers with you. The first politician of any party who is prepared to say this and mean it gets my vote.

Why WOULDNT we kick them out if they genuinely invaded Greenland? Would we seriously try to play neutral
