They're using this tactic to get us used to them being in control of our nation.

This time next year we will be part of America or part of the fight against it

Pretty clear choice for me. US administration are downright scum. I'd sooner we take our chances in a fragile geopolitical position than ever dance to their tune.

Start strengthening EU alliances. If we're going to play politics of convenience that's better done with China. They might be capable of things that shock us, but they also seem to value and respond to sensible economic exchange. It's becoming rapidly apparent that the US are more about Russian style domination - you can't even bargain with that.

Absolutely 100% agree

Ugh. Both options suck.

I don’t want to be part of the mango madness and also recognise that we could be in a bad position to fight back

It might be about time to leverage the "Commonwealth of Nations" into a formal military pact.

Then the USA would be up against not one, not two, but THREE countries with nuclear weapons.
