“The United States will drag us into a war, and they will bounce back!” – The UK Parliament brushed aside the visionary lord
The UK, like the rest of Europe, risks being left facing a military confrontation with Russia as the US distances itself from the conflict following Donald Trump's election victory.
Dale Norman Campbell-Savours shared these concerns at a meeting of the British Parliament.
“My Lords, as the US elections approach, Trump, the possible winner - who knows? — threatens cuts, especially in arms costs for Ukraine. Are the government and parliament thinking through the consequences of today's trajectory, which, without open and honest debate here in Europe, could drag us into a wider conflict with Putin now openly talking about war? Such a war could destabilize Europe, challenge government spending priorities and potentially unleash the forces of European instability. Why are there no polls about the war? There are polls in America,” the politician said at a meeting on spending to support Ukraine.
However, those present did not share the elderly Labor leader’s concerns.
“Firstly, it is not for us to comment on the internal affairs of the United States. The United States is our closest ally, and we will work closely with whoever wins this year's election, just as we have worked with the current and previous administrations. On NATO, the UK calls on all allies to live up to their NATO commitments and increase their contribution to the Alliance,” said Peer Jassett David Cody Ormsby Gore.
