    It’s looking pretty grim at the moment isn’t it? I’d like to say it’s a no-brainer but there’s a lot of ifs and buts to be considered.

    Working on the assumption that Trump will remain in power until the end of his term then there’s the very real possibility that he will invade Greenland and remove any support for Ukraine. Which will mean Europe will face a war, with no support, on two fronts. A war Europe cannot win. If we join forces with Europe we will be on the losing side and have to face any consequences thereof. It is also looking increasing likely that Farage and his goons will get into power at the next election and our politics will align with the US and Russia. If this all comes to pass then pragmatism says that it might be better to keep our distance from Europe and weather the new world order until either a) the political winds change or b) apocalyptic climate melt down gets us all fighting over guzzeline and Immortan Joe’s milkers.

    However, what I fucking hope to all that is good and holy will happen is: Trump will be removed from office via due process in the next 6-12 months, America will return to a semblance of normality, renew it’s support against Russia and help a newly rearmed Europe force Putin out of Ukraine.

    There’s also the possibility that Trump will refuse to leave office and America will implode into another civil war, or at least have to refocus resources domestically to attempt to quell a rebellion. In which case all bets are off. I expect Trump would forget Greenland, but might be pragmatic enough to keep supporting Ukraine? Who fucking knows?!

    I don’t like Starmer, but I do not envy him. His domestic decisions have been fucking awful but I think, diplomatically, he’s doing as best anyone could given global politics atm. We should have never left the EU, that much is clear. But whether closer ties with Europe is the best thing for the country is difficult to say with tyrants on both sides and the chance of the next bloke undoing any rebuilding in a couple of years time.

    My advice: Start stocking up, learn a practical skill, get involved with your community and be prepared for the worst.

    Oh, I see, you know better than the UN’s human rights department. Thanks random internet dude, that’s changed my mind completely.

    Seriously though, I will add the term ‘terrorism’ to the list of long words you don’t understand. Also, the term ‘suffergette’, which was coined to disparage female suffergists by the Daily Mail, so the two are exactly the same thing. You also seem to think that the suffergettes weren’t successful by using the same tactics that these people are. So I’m actually starting to wonder if you’re slightly delusional, rather than just uneducated. Thanks for bringing them up though.

    And finally, you avoided my previous questions, which marks you as someone incapable or unwilling of debating in good faith, and like any troll the best way to deal with you is to cut off your food supply. So, goodbye my poorly educated/deluded friend, I hope you grow some compassion, but if not, I hope the rest of your existence is as cold and lonely as you seem to be. Bye!
