So, I was thinking about it.

Maybe Countries don’t know where to send the money.

Surely after giving so generously to the entire world.

We can expect the world to line up with donations.

Maybe they just don’t where to send it.

So, I want to provide an address for people to help:

Just One Cent
2025 Conspiracy Ave.
Springfield, Ohio

No live animals please….”Cash Preferred “

I won’t hold my breath.

We have leeches. No allies.

We have no allies. Only leeches.

Think of the above every time you hear the Media or the White House or Congress use the word "ally" in connection with some country. Ask yourself, "Is ______________ an ALLY or a LEECH?

Do you think the UK 'leeches' off the US?
We paid off our WW11 debt, and I'm unaware of any USAID packages, or loans currently running off you guys to help us survive currently?

You get a pretty good deal out of being allies with us, costs your taxpayer # all, and we've got a 'junior partner' status in any deals...heck, even extradition questions, if it's Britain asking for a US citizen, you tell us to go # ourselves!🤣

Carry on feeling the victim, being screwed by other nations, but the UK owes you # all!🤣

I personally shall stay slightly miffed at the British till you bring back Sheffield steel. That was some of the finest carbon steel on the planet. I have some tools from the 60s and they are just as good as modern Japanese steel.

Omg mate, the UK stopped being a primary steel producer last week, final blast furnaces cooled down!😢

...we can now offer a recycled steel option though, all powered by magical green energy, and only small amounts of impurities!🤣

Last coal fired power station closed as well, so we are totally relying on imported gas this winter!
Sell us some gas, we'll sell ya a recycled bridge made from old washing machines and melted down evil ICE cars!!!🤣

I build custom furniture, carvings etc and for us old hands, true Sheffield steel is a Holy Grail of woodworking tools.

It is a crying shame that it's getting hard to find and if they brought back the old ways the world would beat a path to your door.

.... or at least I would.

Then pursue your stupid policies of isolationism and tariffs and get out of NATO.

See you on the other side.

With no Allies.

Good luck with that and cheers.

When what's left of your Country is circling the drain, remember that you dissed all your Allies.

True, but Spanish steel and German Solingen steel is pretty good.

I have a Puma White Hunter knife.

It's damn good.

Without us, NATO collapses. We have the most powerful military fighting force On. The. Planet. What do you think would happen to Europe without our backing ?

It's not isolationism, it's trying to keep our country from being flooded with illegal immigrants who are a strain on our system. Case in point, FEMA. They spent billions on illegals and now are claiming they don't have money for disaster victims.

We send money, Doctors, Nurses, financial aid and food all over the world.

Where is the world when we need them ?

That you are "slightly miffed" makes you an honorary Brit.

Soon, you will be making a nice cup of tea and "Tutting" quietly to yourself.

My lord you still do not get it, Nato is US and US is NATO, get it.

Without US is not NATO, get it. United States spends more in defense than the other NATO members

How much do NATO allies really spend on defense?




Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, European allies have increased defense spending by 11%.

Although the U.S. spends the most of any NATO nation, Poland and Estonia put a greater share of their GDPs towards defense.

U.S. contributes 16% of the NATO budget, but is still the country with the largest defense spending of the alliance



www.usatoday.com...

When is a conflict that requires boots in the ground, US supplies the most arms and weapons and troops that any other country.




One in three active military personnel in NATO is an American
The United States is the largest contributor of military personnel to the alliance, with almost 1.33 million troops in 2024. Turkey, Poland, and France maintain the next largest armies, each with more than 200,000 troops. In total, NATO has more than 3 million active troops.


Again, US is NATO and NATO is US.

Well, yes, but odds are you might pull out of NATO?

So, yeah, I am concerned.

Do you think the UK doesn't send aid all over the World?

We do.

Even to China and India, bizarrely.

And Ukraine.

We are here.

US is not going to pull out of NATO any time soon, believe it or not NATO is a necessary evil to keep some resemblance of a global peace force.

OK.

Like all the other members of NATO do sod all.

Compare your GDP to other members and do the math.

Cheers.

Spanish and German steel are great for blades, but in tools carbon steel is [ in my opinion ] better because while those are very hard and take a fantastic edge, they are also brittle, so if say you're working on a piece of wood cut from a log and hit a nail, staple from an old fence etc, they will snap, leaving a chunk out of the blade, whereas carbon steel will bend and it's much easier to sharpen vs grinding the blade back to beyond that chunk that's missing.

I love my Japanese planes, but hit a nail and.........

Hand to God, for years now I've been sitting on my front porch with a cup of Earl Grey in the evening with my Wife, trying to solve the world's problems.

Does that count as tutting ?
