UK Member of Parliament Ed Davey does not mince words when characterizing Trump after his move to take Greenland.

@jwcph Or even if we do get hurt - how is that different from the hurt he's already doing to the world.

At least one person benefits his policy

Trump's estimated net worth in billions of dollars

@jwcph @randahl

It will be interesting to see what happens at Davos. It's sure that he will be confronted.

[jwcph@helvede.net]

@Remittancegirl @randahl @hadon That as well - even if we do get hurt, we have a plan for ending it, while the hurt he inflicts never stops, it only gets worse.

@randahl @hadon

Why has it taken so long to start saying this? It's been obvious for many many years.

@randahl

Watch this one, even his niece ... :

Ed Davey is absolutely right.
It's decision time: Bow or live as slave, or stand up and push back while you still can. I have faith in the Brits not to bow...we are all Europeans, after all.

[thierry_van_kerm@mastodon.social]

@randahl @hadon yeah!

[ilka4you@mastodon.social]

@randahl on point! Exactly my thoughts on both - The felon 47 and Starmer. @hadon

[badco@mastodon.world]

@randahl @hadon well spoken

[jmyarlett@mastodon.world]

@randahl @hadon so true

[petealexharris@mastodon.scot]

@gsymon @randahl @hadon

It's not a normal situation. British politics is not set up to handle the situation where that's a thing that has to be said out loud about a powerful ex-ally without any diplomatic sugar coating, so they take a bit of time to work up to it.

[hadon@mastodon.social]

@petealexharris @gsymon @randahl
Diplomacy is the art of dealing with others with politeness, but under Trump it's no longer an art, it's become a combat sport.

[pepperbike@mastodon.social]

@jwcph @Remittancegirl @randahl @hadon Agreed. In the long run it hurts more to let the bully continue rather than standing up and fighting the bully.

@randahl USA dans le monde =>

[dsg@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@randahl @hadon See, I'd be more inclined to trust the establishment-class if I hadn't just watched them all give a warm welcome to the most smug chisto-fascist that has ever walked the planet.

Hoyle nodding along to what was essentially a declaration of a push towards tyranny.

I'm sure the neolibs will put up a good fight, though. Just like they did in the US.

The pretense that we live in a functioning democracy is pretty insulting tbh.

[gsymon@mstdn.social]

@petealexharris @randahl @hadon

And the price is being paid.

[petealexharris@mastodon.scot]

@hadon @gsymon @randahl
Oh even when it's polite that doesn't mean it's not a combat sport. Maybe especially when it's a particular kind of polite.

[trifolium@c.im]

@randahl @hadon

Corrupt, or even worse, but what should at the same time be thought about the people which elected him, even twice?

[hadon@mastodon.social]

@Trifolium @randahl

That's a different topic, I wouldn't say voters were corrupt, there are other adjectives more suitable to describe them
