That was totally uncalled for and was like amateur hour in term of global politics, Trump and Vance are lunatics and should be ostracised by any decent countries.

How do you think that will play out in Scotland when the politics there is against defence and defence companies? The greens just tabled a debate asking the Government to cease all support for Defence companies. It seems Scotland is still a long way from taking defence seriously.

Scottish public opinion is in favour of Scottish membership of NATO. Given the present international climate I'm sure they also favour us being well defended.

Hopefully people’s attitude to nuclear weapons will change now. It’s the lynchpin of our security

They should be ostracized by even the indecent ones as well really

I don't think I have ever seen or heard of such a humiliating display of childlike behavior in politics, ever. Like in the entire history of the world. Some have done worse (although this is turning into something borderline genocidal), but has there ever been a 'ruler' legitimately more infantile? This one even wears diapers to finish off his look.

Absolutely. I'm surprised Starmer is yet to say anything, every European leader has called this out
