Doesn’t matter.
Starmer is either in China’s pocket or someone else’s.


Why? Other countries have domestic politics, too.

We've created a situation where the U.S. is unpopular in Europe. Which makes it more painful in their domestic politics to be helpful to the U.S. It's not a binary - European nations won't be telling us to pound sand at every turn - but at the margins it just imposes a domestic political cost to be cooperating with the U.S. on things.

Weird how if you stop treating Europe like allies, and more like rivals, then they start treating us less like allies and more like rivals.
