I’m wondering if it’s anything to do with us not being in the mean and nasty EU.
Starmer kissing the pinkie ring paid off I guess, well done to him for navigating that
Being a slimy weasel seems to come naturally to him

This really just sounds like dictator bullshit... No logic to it other than "I am the leader and I like them so they get a pass." Ffs...

I'm sure previous Presidents were just as entitled as Trump but they had more decorum and at least pretended to be in an alliance of equals.
Trump has shown how the "West" is really just the US and it's client states.
Lol
