    Destroying the transatlantic alliance is probably the main goal of putin’s US regime.

    Embolden the UK’s right wing parties who are largely putinists or deliver yet another blow to transatlantic relations. Yet another example of trump delivering a win-win for putin that’s a lose-lose for the US.

    The very Un-American US President Trump and his administration are trying to Americanise the rest of the world.

    Fuck. Right. Off.

      To “un-americanise” the rest of the world. Im still salty that some people genuinely think he’s doing anything positive whatsoever.

    If a deal does not go through, it makes Labour look bad.

    No it fucking doesnt. Not giving a fuck about US demands is the most popular thing you can do right now.

      And also the correct thing, from any position of reason.

      Trying to control the way other countries are run is fucking wild, the notion of which should never even be remotely entertained.

        In happier times, we call the process “diplomacy,” and mostly limit it to things that affect us, directly or indirectly.

        But pressuring other countries to, for example, clean up their corruption so we can reliably do business with them is common. (Also hilariously hypocritical) Pressuring other countries to enact civil rights laws is fairly common, too.

        I have to admit, seeing pressure to remove civil rights is unusual, at least from countries not named UAE.

          Diplomacy is fine, but the US wanting to change something in the UK that is neither a humanitarian issue or something that affects them at all, is like your car mechanic telling you what kind of furniture you’re allowed to have in your house if you want him to work on your car.

          He could technically do it, but it’s also fucking absurd and you’d most definitely go to a different mechanic.

            I’m not saying I approve of what he’s doing. Quite the contrary.

            But it’s what he’s asking, and how he’s asking, not that he’s asking.

    Yeah they also told the UK they’d get a totally sweet trade deal if they did a Brexit, and that deal never materialized, did it?

    Don’t fall for their shit twice. That’s America’s problem - falling for it over and over again.

        The English are indeed the dumbest of all the humans on the earth, I’m hoping the UK has enough welsh and scottish influences that they can steer the ship away from calamity

    I don’t like the hate speech laws because I think they can be abused to include far too much, however NO LAW SHOULD BE CHANGED IN THE UK IN THE PERSUIT OF TRADE WITH THIS CUNT.

    He can fuck right off.

        Could you explain your perspective in a bit more detail? I can understand why the UK critically needs the US, as a very large and populous economy buying its goods – could you tell me a little more about why the US so critically needs the UK? Is it something to do with access to European markets or something?

          Right now much of the world is looking to distance themselves from American products. Traditionally the UK has imported a ton of US goods and while the UK has a lot of options on who they can buy these from the USA currently has fewer places they can sell to due to American douchebaggery.
