By “us” I of course mean not only the UK but the UK and all of its allies in Europe.
So America is on the side of Russia. And Russia is at war with us. No one is saying it but it means America is at war with us.

This is something I was thinking about wrt Nick Robinson’s hectoring of Polanski. Polling has shifted so drastically on Israel in the US in three years that if the next Dem Presidential candidate is even pro-Israel, they will be the last. The UK is on a similar trajectory, and will follow the US.
We will look back in the future on Israel's domestic political and media allies in the same way we look back on those sycophantic supporters of Rhodesia and Apartheid South Africa today: as creeps, losers and deniers. It's only a matter of time.
