Well Andrew Neil is getting dunked on across social media for having two articles a week apart, the first proclaiming how he is to admit to his American friends that Starmer has gone mad for not supporting Trump, the second bemoaning Trump has no plan and shouldn't have done this.

These people (not anyone on here) are just terminally incapable of thinking about anything beyond the immediate hysteria and energy of the moment. Trump has gone to war! This is about history, the world stage, statecraft of the highest level, and in this moment, their greatest ally has abandoned them! Then, a week later, Trump is a lunatic who started a war with no plan.

Social media has cooked people's brains to the extent that they have no attention span. Everything is about the takes on x/Bluesky. I remember back when Trump blew up at Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, and you had liberals on Bluesky legitimately wondering if Starmer needed to resign because he hadn't put out a statement in the hours after it happened.

Everyone has gone mad about everything. Just take a breath, step back, and wait to think for a few moments before acting or commenting.
