AIBU to think Labour are worsening tensions at home and abroad?

Not content with making us enemy No.1 with Russia, pissing off the USA, rising tensions with Argentina … they’ve now managed to make an enemy of Isreal too.

Dont even get me started on the hostility rising within our own country!

WTF are Labour playing at??

Yabu. There's no sensible alternative to the positions we're taking on Russia and Argentina, and Trump is too unpredictable to make compliance for its own sake a good idea. The only one where we could realistically have made a different choice is the Israeli settlements, leaving aside the rights and wrongs of it for a moment, and you'd make that point better if not tying it to obvious nonsense about Russia.

All three examples should never be appeased.
Trumps a fucking nut case he needs to hear the word no more often.

You want to appease Russia? Russia? Putin? Seriously?
You're either nuts, stupid, or being paid by Russia. Or something else I can't quite put my finger on.
But it ain't nice.
Traitorous! That's it.

Russian propaganda- they go round to every Ukrainian ally in Europe saying they are about to destroy them. 5 years into the war everyone should realise that.

being firmly anti Isreal has worked out ok for the Irish.

the argentinians aren’t important

Long overdue, and each of those push backs are principled and justified.
