Eve is here. Some may wonder whether Mr Trump was not responsible for Mr Starmer’s departure, but instead appeared before the announcement to make it appear as if he had played a central role. Alexander Mercouris believed Starmer’s departure was imminent, pointing to early turning points, particularly the Mandelson scandal. But questioning this issue does not invalidate the rest of Helmer’s view of the very broken state of US-UK relations.
John Helmer is Russia’s longest-serving foreign correspondent and the only Western journalist to lead his own bureau independent of any single country or commercial relationship. Helmer is also a professor of political science and an advisor to heads of government in Greece, the United States, and Asia. He is the first and only person to settle in Russia as a member of the US presidential administration (Jimmy Carter). First appearance: Dances with Bears
President Donald Trump (top image, third from left) ignored the special relationship when he announced the resignation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer (right), urging him to announce it himself without delay. He also declared that Britain’s foreign and domestic policy would become, and had already become, a colonial policy.
Nothing like this had happened for almost 2000 years in the history of the British Empire. Roman Emperor Claudius declared the island an imperial province in 43 AD with an army of 40,000, and Emperor Hadrian followed suit in 122 AD, ordering the construction of a defensive wall against the northern Picts. Today, Trump has gone even further north than the Romans. bought out the rebellious Picts. He built a golf course 330 miles north of Hadrian’s Wall.
“The special relationship is ongoing,” Starmer insisted in March. “We work together in the region, and the United States and the United Kingdom work together to protect both the United States and the United Kingdom at joint bases, where we are co-located and share information 24/7 in the usual way.”/
Trump began declaring otherwise in February when he gave Starmer his first marching orders at the Diego Garcia Island base in the Indian Ocean.
Trump tweeted: “Our relationship with the UK is strong and strong and has been for years, but Prime Minister Starmer is losing control of this important island at the insistence of a previously unknown group. In our view, they are “This is hypothetical in nature. If Iran decides not to reach a deal, the United States may need to use its airfields in Diego Garcia and Fairford to stamp out potential attacks by highly unstable and dangerous forces.” Regime – Given the potential attacks against the UK and other friendly countries, Prime Minister Starmer should not, for any reason, lose control of Diego Garcia by signing a tenuous 100-year lease at most, which, if allowed to do so, would mean letting go of a great ally. ”
A month later, in response to Starmer’s Special Relationship Pledge of Fidelity, President Trump said: “The United Kingdom, once our great ally, and perhaps the greatest of them all, is finally seriously considering sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s fine, Starmer, we don’t need any more aircraft carriers – but we won’t forget. We don’t need people going to war after we’ve already won!”
In April, Trump told Starmer that Peter Mandelson should not have been sent to Washington as British ambassador. “He ‘made a bad decision’ in choosing his ambassador to Washington. I agree. He was a really bad choice. But he has plenty of time to recover!”
Then, on the advice of the president’s ambassador in London, Warren Stevens, a banker and campaign donor, Trump decided that Starmer’s time for recovery had run out. I challenged him to walk the plank. “Keir Starmer is stepping down as Prime Minister of the UK. He has screwed up on two very important issues: immigration and energy (open up North Sea oil!). I wish him the best!”
Starmer’s successor is currently in a bidding war with politicians from all political parties in the UK looking to take over at the next election with President Trump’s support. The event must be held within three years and by August 2029.
This makes Mr Trump more popular than Labour’s Mr Starmer and the Reform Party’s Nigel Farage in polls of British voters’ preferences for their party and prime minister. In fact, Mr. Trump is -64 percentage points, less unpopular than Mr. Starmer or Mr. Farage. Negatively speaking, he is still better than former Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn. He follows in the footsteps of Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch.
According to this criterion, King Charles III would be the best candidate for the colonies. Online favorability rating is +26%. On April 30, President Trump defended the King, saying, “The King and Queen made me do things that no one else could do, with very little asking.” “In honor of the King and Queen of England who have just left the White House and will soon return to our great country, I am removing the whiskey tariffs and restrictions that relate to Scotland’s ability to work with Kentucky on whiskey and bourbon. People have wanted to do this for a long time because there is significant industry within Scotland and Kentucky, and there has been great trade between the countries, particularly as it relates to the wooden barrels used.”
A wooden barrel in 2026 conveys the same American message that the teacher conveyed in 1773.
Andrew Burnham, the former mayor of Birmingham, who is seen as Mr Starmer’s successor after following in the footsteps of Charles III, is starting at +4%. This number is so low that Imperial pollsters at the White House and the CIA calculate that Burnham will have to follow Trump’s line of increasing British defense spending on US arms procurement. Regarding participation in permanent war with Iran. and the US and Israeli defense of genocide and Gaza redevelopment plans.
Burnham has already made his mark on each of these issues. Click here, here, and here. A new podcast with Pere Neros Taylor (London) and Martin Seeff (Washington) discuss the dire Strait for the British and the Strait of Hormuz for Americans and Russians. Click to view or listen.
