I have mentioned I'm not a fan of two tier kier. But I do recognize that he did represent the UK in a good manner. In my opinion anyway. Even tho he did look at times to be cosying and buttering up trump at times.

Trump mentioned that starmer put up a good negotiation in terms of tariffs and trade deals. I think Trump did sound like he respected starmer for it. He may not have expected it.

As much as I don't like two tier kier. It was a nice moment when he delivered the letter from the king to Trump.

Personally, I thought it was a bit of a Paul Daniels moment - looked like he was going to show Trump he'd just lifted his wallet. On second thoughts I doubt Starmer could lift anything that heavy - such a weak man.

I stumbled on this tonight. Written almost exactly a year ago it postulates on the outcome of a Trump win, it’s affect on NATO, on us and our future. Written by a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute it’s chilling reading, because we know that so much of what it anticipated has already happened.

The world is changing pretty fast right now. There are commentators in Eastern Europe even considering the possibility of Russia joining NATO.
Im pretty sure we will see a peace deal put in place in the Ukraine Russia conflict in the coming weeks along the lines that our press have put forward. I would not be surprised to see the current Ukraine land occupied by Russian troops becoming some sort of autonomous land. This would give access to all the rare earth minerals that will become part of the settlement involving USA. If Trump pulls this one off, it will be a very good move for America, Ukraine and Russia. We may even see some meaningless peace keeping forces positioned in the zone.
The structure of leadership across the world is looking pretty shell shocked today. There are senior statesmen making comments that show they are not moving in the same direction as the global powers. Already they are totally out of touch, hanging on to the past.
Now is the time to think outside the box. Anything is possible moving forwards.
It will be very interesting to see how things unfold this year.
