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.

He's also helping Ukraine blow up Russia. Not as the reliable ally Biden was, but not in a "doing Putin's bidding" way either. Now he's capturing oil tankers from Russia's oil fleet.
Trump has always hated NATO.
He has always been in bed with the russian mob, that is directed by the fsb too. It's not much of a secret, denying it at this point just shows that you are susceptible to believing suits lying to your face.

Who's denying it? American criminal organizations have always had ties to criminal organizations everywhere, and the same is true of intelligence organizations. That's not even interesting, and it's not "alignment".
The president is an asset of russian intelligence. And even moreso to Israeli intelligence.
To deny that at this point is just, wow.
Yes, organized crime is vulnerable to intelligence agencies using them. The president was compromised by the Russian mob, and by extension the fsb, decades back. They are great pals.
You never answered my question, so I'll make it more pointed. Why is Trump providing Ukraine with intelligence for targeting Russian energy infrastructure? Intelligence that Biden refused to provide BTW.
You think because he didn't upend tens of billions of dollars contracts and agreements of cooperation that is proof?
Blowing up Nato is something he doesn't have the juice to do, not the least as the party is trying to use the military to ghettoize america like palestine. So he is doing the rah rah greenland to whip up a patriotic fervor to get the support to do it, which he might not get.
This president can't cross the military, or the contractors. I'm surprised you see a stated disagreement with russia and take that for evidence they are not in league despite you know, things.
OK, so you don't have an answer or can't be bothered to read the entire question. Trump has gone beyond what Biden did. I'm done with your bad faith bullshit.
As I said, the US president does not have the juice to upend everything day one. Hence greenland to pull out of nato.
As if he had the support in that community that he needs as much as any for the party's plans, to upset them like that. Your question is rather foolish to be perfectly frank.
He didn't have the juice to not do something for Ukraine that Biden didn't do either? Fuck off moron.
