Well, it looks like the leaders of other countries have finally decided that they have had enough and said 'We ain't backing this little war of yours'. Trump has no clue as to why they would do this of course, despite months of insults, threats, saying he doesn't need them, calling them losers etc.
Of course, this will play into his little mind of 'See, we must take Greenland' so that he can say he now has proof that Europe will not support America in its 'defence' efforts, therefore, it must now invade and own Greenland. He will probably leave NATO as well.
Again, Starmer continues to increase his standing and credibility in my mind.

Prepare for lots of of nasty Truth Social screeds - unless they've already been posted in the middle of the night.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Edited for spelling.

He shouldn't need anyone's help, as they already won it, right?
Maybe he could free up some naval power by stopping his blockade of Cuba, or I suppose that might stop his next imperial conquest.

So, I've heard things... crazy getting crazier...
"We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country, we have 50 states, all these people, we're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things." - Trump last night.
ALSO - At 9:00 AM today he stated, “We don’t have to be there. We don’t need their oil. War is over.”
At 9:02 AM flipped the script with “We are going to hit Iran extremely hard in the next 2 weeks and bring them back to the Stone Ages.”
Two minutes apart, two completely contradictory statements.
That’s not leadership, that’s chaos... and the world is watching this spectacle unfold.
-C!

I'm sure I've mentioned somewhere over the course of the goddamn eternity that we've been dealing with this guy and his governing style, but Trump's slavish devotion to stochasitc speech and action as a business tool is his (our) downfall. You can maybe win in a 1-to-1 scenario, or maybe come out on top in a scrum if there's a clear target in mind that all involved parties want (such as a Presidential election). But you can't leverage random shit-stirring into a multi-front, international, and ever-evolving geopolitical 'win', especially when you haven't defined the terms of winning.
He's of course far too old to change his working strategy, and his ego has left him with a Cabinet and infrastructure that has no ability or desire to even try to mitigate the damage.
I'm not saying an effective and properly machiavellian leader couldn't take some real advantage by keeping things chaotic - Putin and Netanyahu have done so for a long time - but Trump lacks that capacity entirely, and their goals are also limited to their respective backyards. They also both have the benefit of HAVING clear goals. Whatever Trump's ultimate goals are I certainly couldn't say, and I'm not sure he can, at this point, beyond some vague idea of control.

All I know is this:
It's not like the voting public DID NOT KNOW that this was the direction that this administration was heading.
The White Brains Grifter laid it out for all to see.
Getting what was voted for.

In case anyone across the pond doesn’t keep up with UK and European news. We are now actively debating whether we should classify Trump as an energy of the UK\Europe. Serious debates in numerous news programmes across lots of differing channels.

Presumably non-renewable?

Definitely non-renewable, with large amounts of highly toxic pollutants.;)
