President Trump

Falklands we asked to use some yanks bases, and for some support.
Thatcher had a strong personal friendship with Reagan. She asked for his help and he gave it. U.S. intelligence and technological support were vital to the fleet that sailed to retake the islands.

You are correct in your larger point, though, that GB Is the minor party in this "special relationship." We've been like a dinghy towed by an aircraft carrier at times. Or as some Yanks have mockingly called Britain "runway number 4."
 
At this point I’ve pretty much given up. Whatever the events forthcoming in the next few weeks, months and years as long as this man is President, I and we are powerless to stop it. Those that are — the GOP in the House and Senate — have abandoned their posts and their duties to act in the best interest of the nation and instead have chosen sycophantic fealty to an overlord. His unelected Cabinet, hand-chosen for slavish devotion, will never cross nor leave him of course.

There is nothing that could happen that would surprise me now. No catastrophe is off the table. Not one.

But I tried. We tried. Over and over and over we sounded the alarm about this man — this particular man. “TDS” they said. “Libtard” they said. “You’re overreacting” they said. “What about . . .?” they said. “Clinton/Biden/Harris would be worse” they said.

And all I can think about is this scene from one of my favo(u)rite war films “Tora Tora Tora”, about Pearl Harbor. How ironic that is. All of us who sounded the alarm are Kaminsky now.

“You wanted confirmation, Captain? Take a look. There’s your confirmation.”



God help us all.

Can’t tell you the exhortations I put on here leading up to the election, with full throated warnings of what was to come. Detailed Project 2025, too, but most people were oblivious…and happily so!

To be honest, the most cynical of us would have seemed like a loon if we had mentioned even half of the stuff that is actually happening right now!
