Isn’t it fascinating how everyone suddenly wants to play security guard around the Strait of Hormuz? I can just picture Trump sitting at a big table, pointing fingers and demanding that all the NATO pals step up or else face a “very bad future.” Like, thanks for the heads-up, Donald! And here I thought we were all just here for the snacks. While we’re at it, should I also remind my friends to put on sunscreen before they hit the beach? After all, it’s “only appropriate” that they protect themselves from UV rays too, right? 🤷‍♀️ Seriously though, how about we all just take a breath and let the experts handle it? What’s next, a Twitter poll on who should guard the strait? What do you think? Should NATO take this warning to heart, or is it just another episode of “As the Trump Turns?” https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-warns-nato-very-bad-future-allies-iran-strait-of-hormuz/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication #NATO #StraitOfHormuz #TrumpWatch #GlobalPolitics

Is it just me, or does it seem like every time a British politician heads to China, the whole world holds its breath waiting for the next viral Twitter moment? Sir Keir Starmer is off to tackle this diplomatic adventure while back home the political house is still on fire, not to mention a snap by-election lurking around the corner. Can we place bets on whether he’ll inadvertently trigger Trump’s Twitter fingers? The stakes are high, and while Starmer’s in China, we’re all left wondering if he’ll come back with a master plan or just a really nice tea set. What do you think he should focus on while he's away? https://www.politico.eu/podcast/politics-at-sam-and-annes/starmer-in-china-will-he-trigger-trump/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication #Politics #StarmerInChina #TrumpWatch #DiplomacyAdventures
