Is cutting undersea cables or poisoning UK citizens or funding the Brexit campaign acts of war?

An interesting, and unsettling theory (for Europeans especially): www.noahpinion.blog/p/america-is-being-sold-out-by-its

Not sure I buy this as there is no version of the future where Russia dominates Europe, even with it's leadership fragmented. It's population, economy and military are dwarfed by Europe. It's taken years to capture a segment of a dirt poor, much smaller neighbour. There is zero chance it could deal with just Poland.
Completely agree re Russia. But that doesn't rule out that this could be the Trumipian strategy regardless. Only, a Europe left to fend for itself, could soon start to see the emergence of age old disputes.
Let's hope so. One day Alba will be free.

Where is your evidence about funding the Brexit campaign ?

Don't know. Post your evidence and I will have a look. But why are you deflecting? It's almost like you don't mind a fascist dictator meddling in UK politics.

Yes , I've just watched that and all I can say is wow . I've never seen anything like it and in front of the world's camera's. I felt sorry for Zelensky because you could see the anxiety on his face . Yes , I was a Trump supporter because I thought he would be a strong leader and a leading light but I have to say I'm disappointed with him after watching that . Like I said before , I stand with Ukraine and her lion hearted people . Putin is a grade A Cnut.
Edit .I'm that disappointed in Trump this evening that I've taken my first step in regretting supporting him . I think you all might know me well enough on here to know that I don't say that lightly .

The USA has a president who is seriously unstable IMO, and a vice-president who should learn some manners. They have shown their true colours, and it’s deeply worrying.

And the only reason meeting was conducted in front of the world’s press was to bolster their failing performances.

The vail slips…

They are classic bullies and that video is all the evidence you need. I would have loved zelensky to kick off like he had every right to but he comes out of this better.

Problem is the bullies are in charge of a super power that is now all but aligned with Russia and European leaders vocalising support of Ukraine..,it’s a dangerous path. Be interesting to see what snivelling starmer says

Starmer is going to be fun to watch. Riding the wave of a "successful" trip, now seeing all the EU allies backing Zelensky. Bet he bails.

Never known these sort of talks to be held in front of the world's press. Pretty sure this ambush on Zelensky was all planned. That snake Vance was checking his script occasionally

Unfortunately without American support I don't think we can . I doubt we have the money or military strength to do it . The one thing I'm sure about is we can't put any boots on the ground in Ukraine . I believe that would be a suicidal move which could lead to WW3.

They are going to get China to join their little club soon. The 3 will carve up the rest of us and there will be nothing we can do to stop them

No it's not. Europe has to step up to the plate. Putin cannot be allowed to win.

Stupidly only just realised this is all money related. The bullying face of pure capitalism.

Trump wants to make billions from this minerals for years to come and brag to the American public about how much money he has made, probably setting some aside for himself and only then would he agree to American securities. But Zelenskyy has told him to do one so he’s set up up an ambush to try to embarrass him.

Assume it’s also the reason starmer has bent the knee and committing more money to defence, because the weapons will be coming from America?

All sickening but at least it’s being played out in front of our eyes now so we can all see what the world is about

We can take some comfort from that but any more of this so called "transparency" and there will be mass lay offs of hard working Marxists.

Looks like Zelenskyy was evicted from the White House and missed out on a luncheon in his honour. Here's what was on the menu:

Trumpkin Soup
A thick, orange hot mess.

Chicken Kiev
Stuffed by Putin, grilled by Vance, roasted by POTUS.

Orange Brulee
A rich, unstable tart, ready to ignite at any moment.

Petits Fours
And a bunch of fives.
