Trump and his administration continue to escalate against British, Canadian and European interests, values, and security. By attacking the ICC, he is attacking *our* shared court and our structures of international law. By buying Russian diesel, he is giving Putin more capacity to kill Ukrainian civilians and threaten the security of all Europe, the UK included. A YouGov poll this week asked “which country do you think poses the biggest threat to the UK today?” It showed Brits regard Russia (46%) as the greatest perceived threat, followed by the US (12%) - ahead of Iran, Israel and China. It is becoming increasingly clear that Trump’s intentions towards us (in Canada, UK and Europe) are hostile. As America’s financial and moral positions in the world tumble, his policies towards the rest of the West look increasingly kamikaze. We need to increasingly take up antagonistic positions towards the US administration and the Big Tech companies that are undoubtedly becoming an extension of US executive power. Not a pleasant prospect, but absolutely necessary for our security.
