Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Shockingly, our “brilliant” NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness. These are International Powers who only recognize STRENGTH, which is why the United States of America, under my leadership, is now, after only one year, respected like never before. The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. Denmark and its European Allies have to DO THE RIGHT THING. Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

He endorsed this only a few months ago.

Frankly I would regard putting US operations in there at risk a good thing.

The more the US needs to put into defending and protecting it's forces, the less capacity it has to be threatening to invade our allies.

Granted on the previous US signoff.

It is a stupid deal though. "We have to give the islands away because of some bullshit international court rulings, oh and also we're doing so even though we have fears that Mauritius is too close to China" is peak soyboy energy.

Trump is correct. This is the move of a decaying, weak, UK. The stench is putrid.

Yeah, but it works like this - Diego Garcia doesn't serve any UK interests, and it's a hassle getting in the way of trade deals and other foreign policy goals; and the US are being dicks and extorting us, so why do them any favours?

Trump should respond by recognizing the Falklands as Argentinian imo

Like I said, bring it.

Argentina can't act on it, and it would absolutely fuck our right wing parties and unite the country in a decisive shift away from the US towards Europe.

Varela Bardella now arguing for the ACI be invoked in retaliation and the need for European unity.

Great job, at this rate you are going to wind up with the EU being run by Euro Fascists in the middle of a 1Tr euro rearmament spree with a primary focus on the US as its main enemy.

Chapeau!

"The more the US needs to put into defending and protecting it's forces, the less capacity it has to be threatening to invade our allies."

Exactly. Same thing I said regarding Russia. Put everything everywhere at risk. And we are everywhere. Make us defend EVERYTHING. If you stretch us thin, we are cooked.

Trump could grow the army quickly through a draft, but the same can't be done with the Navy and Air Force.
