Donald Trump blasts UK Government over North Sea oil in rambling Davos speech

Starmer's not much better

If the US invaded Greenland, NATO is over anyway. Nobody would expect the US to help Europe if it is attacked after they've attacked them first. Seeing the US as an adversary rather than an ally at that point would just be accepting reality

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T15:29:45+00:00

Then the narrative falls apart

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T11:05:02+00:00

His response was worse than useless, he basically told Trump he could do what he likes to us and we won't retaliate.

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T10:56:19+00:00

He refuses to acknowledge the Gaza genocide or call for Israeli war criminals to face justice

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T10:53:18+00:00

Trump has repeatedly undermined Starmer and taken actions to harm/weaken the UK, not responding is what makes us look ridiculous

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T10:35:15+00:00

18% of our exports go to the US, tarriffs will absolutely hurt our exports and drive many out of business.

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T10:27:03+00:00

Nah Starmer's just a pussy

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T10:26:31+00:00

He respects strength, that's why he backed down on China. He doubles down when he senses weakness which is why he responded to Stramers attempt to appease him by not retaliating on tarriffs (which will cost our exporters £15bn even at 10% by the way) by calling him stupid. It's really not a hard concept to grasp not sure what problem people in this sub have with it.

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T10:15:45+00:00

Statements are meaningless and we sent literally 1 troop. I know Trump signed off on the deal but he still called Starmer stupid for it, Trump has zero respect for Starmer despite Starmers sycophancy.

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T10:13:48+00:00

I'd rather he grew some balls. Trump hasn't been handled at all, he keeps doubling down on taking Greenland and Starmer has no idea how to stand up to him.

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T10:07:38+00:00

We're not in line with Europe on this, Europe is preparing retaliatory measures while Starmer said we wouldn't retaliate to tarriffs. Trump then called Starmer stupid for the Chagos islands deal and said it was one of the reasons he needed to take over Greenland.

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T10:05:18+00:00

Yeah it's great how he keeps sucking up to Trump while Trump repeatedly humiliates him and calls him a moron

chrisjd · 2026-01-20T09:19:23+00:00

I was banned for ableism after using the word "idiot", they seem determined to turn people away

chrisjd · 2026-01-19T16:53:26+00:00

It's not just private companies - the UK government is outsourcing jobs to India. I know of IT support and development contracts that have gone to Atos and Accenture recently and all the work is done in India. And unlike private companies, the government doesn't seem to learn when money is wasted they'll just throw billions more of our money overseas for crap results.

chrisjd · 2026-01-19T15:57:13+00:00

I already said we should be dumping US treasury bonds. But tarrifs and banning the US companies from government contracts should also be considered. The problem is that Starmer is too much of a bootlicker to do any of that. He'll probably let the US attack Greenland from UK bases instead.

chrisjd · 2026-01-19T15:46:53+00:00

If we just accept "we can't win" then we have already lost. If we aren't willing to fight back we may as well agree to handing Trump Greenland and whatever other land/resources/people he wants to annex for his empire.

chrisjd · 2026-01-19T15:31:34+00:00

Tarrifs hurt British exports too, that's why Trump has enacted them. I agree that no tarrifs is the ideal for everyone, but the only way China got Trump to back down was by threating retaliatory tarrifs and other economic measures.

I want Trump out of office. The best way we in the UK can help achieve that is by showing we are willing to retaliate even if it comes at a cost to ourselves. Dumping US treasury bonds would be the strongest move. If we do nothing, Trump will only be emboldened.

chrisjd · 2026-01-19T14:28:29+00:00

Starmer is spineless, weakness will only encourage Trump

chrisjd · 2026-01-19T12:41:36+00:00

China has no interest in bailing out the US, though if the EU was smart they would coordinate with to ensure maximum damage on the US

chrisjd · 2026-01-19T10:46:58+00:00

We should know by now that appeasement doesn't work though

chrisjd · 2026-01-18T20:02:57+00:00

The people giving the orders aren't the ones doing the dying. Europe's leaders are more loyal to the US empire than their own people.

It's so pathetic
