Vance dismissing the British Army as a random country that hasn't fought a war in 40 years: https://x.com/antoguerrera/status/1896827304946581995

Hundards of British troops died fighting alongside American troops after they invoked Article 5. Nasty little man.

I don't understand what we did to them that makes them treat us like this

Re: President Trump 2.0

We in the position that we need to hope Trump finishes his term because his VP really hates Britain.

It seems to get worse every day with these muppets.

Re: President Trump 2.0

Vance is behaving like a certain kind of internet forum poster from the early 2000s. He just realised he finally has a platform for his opinions, and is sharing them loudly and proudly without any awareness of the fact that people can now see and hear him and find out what a twerp he is.

Re: President Trump 2.0

The most unpredictable thing about Trump is some of these decisions make no sense for American interests. Alienating the UK and Europe doesn't serve American interests, but they're doing it because of whatever hold Putin has over Trump. Russia is not a dependable ally for the United States and their economy is quite small but he would rather cosy up to them than us.

Canada is a close ally to them and the tariffs will make America and Canada poorer but he is imposing them because they don't want to become the 51st state.

The UK is going out of its way to still try and be close to them and give Trump want he wants, but they decide to mock the British army just for trolling purposes as far as I can tell.

Re: President Trump 2.0

Trump has now suspended aid to Ukraine:

Lots of people in America, including some of his own supporters, didn't like what he said to Zelenskyy, so he decides to make matters worse by doing this!

According to US federal government sources, Congress has passed five so-called 'supplemental appropriation acts' since the 2022 invasion, allocating $174.2 billion in funds for Ukraine.

Another US government tracker - which compiles data from over 20 oversight entities from across the government - puts the headline sum slightly higher at $182.8 billion. This is because the tracker also includes smaller donations made by other government agencies, such as the U.S. Agency for Global. Media (USAGM) or the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Of this, $182.8 billion pot, only $83.4 billion has been disbursed, with the remaining $99,4 billion either not yet committed or not yet approved for payment.

Other estimates provided by the Berlin-based Kiel institute for the World Economy put the headline figure of total US assistance at 114.15 billion (119.76 billion).

This is because of the Kiel Institute's methodology, which only considers support directly given to Ukraine. It excludes things like money used to replenish US weapon stocks following donations to Kyiv, or funds spent to help neighbouring countries welcome Ukrainian refugees

Nearly 70% of the $175 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion was spent in the U.S. or on U.S. forces, according to a study by the American Enterprise Institute published in May 2024.

Here is a simple tip to work out US spending, divide everything Trump says by 3.

Re: President Trump 2.0

It's the usual MO of a bully, free speech is fine until you say something that I don't agree with or want to hear .

Re: President Trump 2.0

Shocking bully boy behaviour. Say whatever you want unless its something I don't agree with.
