UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It won't be the end. Even though that is what Trump, Putin and Farage are after.
We'd jump to the defense of Greenland as per our NATO contract. Even if it is an other NATO member that is doing the invading.
We'll maybe throw the US out of it, but that is about it.
Remember it's not only NATO that has an article 5. EU member states have similar obligations. To come to the defence of a member state being attacked.
If the US invades Greenland and Denmark says help.... Do you think Poland is going to go against the US when it desperately wants US protection from Russia? Or Hungary?
Nevermind the end of NATO. This could be the end of the EU!
I hope you are right, but I can see other members of nato wanting to kiss trump ass and stay out of the conflit...
