      Look at all that free speech the USA has, where people are being disappeared to an overseas concentration camp for saying genocide is wrong, or having the FBI investigate them for speaking critically about Trump, or imprisoned at the border for criticizing him online. Whereas in the UK, these days you get arrested and thrown in jail if you say you’re English, don’t you?

      “No free speech, no deal. It is as simple as that,”

      So he’s going to push this condition onto everyone that they deal with right? Saudi Arabia and Israel for example.

        Israel is USA, and SA can do whatever the fuck they want as long as they pay up (i.e. produce oil, buy weapons, whatever).

        This is the point of Trump dealing with the UK over the EU. They’re more isolated since Brexit and therefore more easily intimidated.

        Saudi Arabia and Israel both already have the type of freeze peach this fascist desires.

        Putin needs Saudi Arabia to not start an oil price war, which Russia would loose.

        The US support of Israel is making the US less popular around the world.
