Sounds a lot like the EU Defence Union that the UK spent decades blocking while it was a member of the union. Rearmament would be a lot cheaper with such a union and would actually give Europe the capacity for autonomous defence, which the current NATO spending plans do not.

Sheesh the full-res version of Trump's Board of Peace logo somehow looks even worse. Mixing a clip-art wreath with a pseudo-realistic, geo-textured map is a graphic design atrocity. Big Microsoft Paint energy.

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all. They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America. They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

It's clear that EU SM+CU is essential to get growth started. If Labour ignores this, the deepening recession and increasing tax burden will make everyone noticeably poorer, a fact that Farage will ruthlessly exploit. Please get Labour to wake up before it's too late!
