Alternatives to Trump’s Russia Appeasement
This is delusional. It also didn't even figure in the frankly insulting questionnaire about defence of Ukraine which Washington sent to European capitals this week. France may control its own nuclear weapons, but the UK certainly doesn't. The Americans have already said that Ukraine won't join Nato and any EU peacekeeping force will not have Article 5 protections. As for the troops themselves, the UK rightwing press (virtually all of it nowadays) keeps highlighting the run down state of Britain's armed forces. Starmer is volunteering a largely imaginary army while fantasising about a bridging function with the Americans which Giorgia Meloni has already reserved for herself. Mandelson's finger prints are all over this nonsense.
