Compare that to Zelensky's meeting with Starmer.
Surely, the US will get fed up with Trump's approach quicker than this country did with Johnson. Unfortunately it will likely take longer than Truss did. |  |

Criticise Trump all you like, but it has focussed Europe re security. It was warned in the last Trump tenure, that Europe needed to stand up more within the NATO framework rather than be so dependant on the US. Nobody listened. They are now. And lo and behold, UK and France are putting a package to help safeguard Ukraine as part of a peace treaty. A triple entente if you like. So we will end up carrying the risks associated with Ukraine security and Trump will get some sort of mineral deal. He's no fool. And does not care too much what he is perceived as. | | | |

If Trump doesn't care how he is perceived then why does he hold grudges so strongly and pursue them so mordantly ? |  |

No mention of the UK.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has thanked world leaders for their support after his meeting with Donald Trump, which devolved into a shouting match and the cancellation of a joint press conference scheduled for this afternoon.
Zelenskyy has taken to X, formerly Twitter, to thank leaders who have posted their support on the social media platform.
They include the leaders of Germany, Spain, France, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Moldova, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Czech Republic, Finland, Portugal, Croatia, the European Parliament, the European Commission and European Council. |

Yes, that post didn't age well, although I didn't know at the time that Starmer had been on the phone to both Trump and Zelensky that evening.
As it is, I think Starmer's intelligence and lawyerly calm makes him a good person to have as PM in moments of crisis. [Post edited 2 Mar 17:42]

It was a good day yesterday for our government, our diplomatic standing and, well, just decency in general. I assume we build on that today with the meeting with the King, but Iâve ignored the news today. |  |

I think the Norway thing was a social media made up story wasnât it?
But is it too much to hope or too mean to hope that Vance breaks his leg on the Trails in Vermont? |  | | |

He seems to be very in control, very composed - refused to criticised Trump and the US but showed with the way he greeted VZ yesterday where his feelings lay.
When you look at the shower of sh1t over the last decade, we are very fortunate to have him as leader currently when Europe desperately needs a strong UK to take the lead |  |

Agree with nearly all of that, but why do you think the it's the UK that needs to take the lead? - cos of the 'special relationship'? | |

Because we've always been a world leader in defence, and are trusted across the globe as such. In Europe it is only us and France that can do it, and it can't be left to the cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys*

As Joe alludes to in his joke, Britain and France will likely take the lead in Europe because they have the most significant armed forces (even with their glaring problems). The next go to country would be Germany who are in the midst of deciding a new government and if we think our military procurement is bad, wait till you get a load of Germany's! Dark horse is Poland, but I don't think they have the size to be the lead, plus they do have some tricky interactions with Ukraine still. Additionally I think Starmer has some strategic advantages beyond military.
Firstly he can adopt a more diplomatic approach to Trump, even if the sack of sh1t doesn't deserve it. France must take heed of EU sentiment in a way that the UK can ignore when necessary. The UK has greater flexibility diplomatically and politically because Trump views us as seperate, so use that to our advantage. Plus while I don't think the relationship is special, the enormous intertwining of the intelligence and military communities helps us behind the scenes. No other country in Europe has such links to such depth.
Secondly he can count on the most fervent public support of Ukraine of any European country. Opinion polls across Europe show UK support for Ukraine is higher than all other countries. As such even those who should be naturally close to Trump are not aligning with his views on Ukraine (or at least not doing so out loud right now). Some Tories even tweeted in support of Kier with regards the summit. Ukraine is the one issue where the only time there is partisan bickering, is to complain about not doing enough. |  | | |

And as if my magic, I've now discovered that the frog faced fascist Farage couldn't help himself:

Nigel Farage on LBC repeatedly refusing to criticise Trump and Vance's attack on Zelensky. Accuses the Ukrainian President of being "rude" and showing "no respect" to Trump.

Obviously politics isn't the most important thing, but Labour and KS have a massive opportunity here to really cement the popularity to set up a second term.
Reform are the ones making the running, the Tories are lost, but British people will not put up with Farage and his cosiness with Trump who is hugely unpopular here and taking against Ukraine in this war. It's just an online right view and not one of any form of majority.
Once Farage has to do longer interviews and gets pressed on things, his views will be shown to be very out of step with the average Reform voter on topics like this and the NHS | |

I guess it's natural culture, plus we've never suffered a land war so that will always change perceptions.
We are very proud of our role in WW2 as stopping fascism in Europe, and that bleeds into national conscience so we will always take the right side | |

Russia and the US are brothers in arms now. Best mates. Ticker tape parades, maybe a speech in congress for Putin, furry hat and 25 mins applause in the Kremlin and a vodka. All besties for Comrade Trumpov.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2025/03/02/russia-says-trumps-foreign-
In this Forbes article Peskov confirms US aligns with Russiaâs vision. And Fridays ambush confirmed it. Over 1000 bombs and 1000 drones fell on Ukraine last week too. I presume the congratulatory messages will be flooding in from the US. Retaliation for Ukraines disgraceful act of not surrendering three years ago. How dare they.
Since America is only interested in plunder and lies, they and Russia make good bedfellows. As for Farage, that sht stain on humanity can and has joined them. Come on Farageski, show us a copy of the grovelling messages youâve sent to Putin and Trump this weekend. Do it over a pint. Pity you are nothing but a skidmark who anyone with a brain cell would take the other door out of any room you slithered in.
Oh, and while we are doling out praise, well done. Youâve just torpedoed your appalling protest group Reform. Even the witless losers and cretins that think theyâre going to eke out their misbegotten careers through Reform will be slamming their empty heads against a door.
You are right. As soon as that tool has to do any sort of interview his ignorance, bigotry and lies shine through.
Edit: US and Russia are completely aligned. Russia = power, theft of other countries and their resources dressed up in lies. America = exactly the same. Ukraine wealth, Greenland, Panama, Canada all in the gunsights. Perfect alignment. [Post edited 3 Mar 13:47]
