Languish was founded on opposition to the US imposing Democracy in Iraq.

Successful imposition of Democracy not guaranteed. Terms and conditions apply.

Didn't the great migration happen because most of those migrants were Pro-Invasion?

If the 1930s taught us anything, it's act early. When harm is done, it is too late to prevent harm.

If the 1930s taught Sweden anything, it was "there's a lot of money to be made selling shit to Nazis."

Feel free to punish 1930s Sweden if you feel that strongly about it.

It's been a while, but IIRC heavy-handed anti-Americanism on EUOT was a factor.  Languish was split on the question.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to halt offensive operations against Russia, according to a current official and two former officials briefed on the secret instructions.

I hear that the Trump-Putin meeting will be on soon. I suppose Trump will go to Moscow to kiss the ring?

Meh, it'll be no more of an idealogical/strategic shock than that felt by socialist following the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact*

Lavrov praised the US and said that Europe has caused all the wars. Yeah, that alliance is happening.

Well after this I certainly wouldn't be averse to Britain and France to cover their nuclear umbrella to the whole of European NATO and Ukraine.

As I mentioned elsewhere, this will require the UK to actually develop an indigenous means of delivering their weapons, as right now their entire deterrent could theoretically be neutered by the US.

How does this work?  Is there some override switch at the Pentagon?

[Zoupa]

Short answer is yes.
