They're absolutely right, but he won't.

He wants to be Tony Blair and the "special relationship" enabling of war crimes and other atrocities is no exception.

The "labor" parties of 5 eyes are more like counterintelligence operations. They're manufactured opposition. At the end of the day, their leadership is groomed and financed by the same oligarchs and corporations as the "conservative" parties.

They will never offer anything other than corporate-whore lite with a hope of change™️, but there actions — for decades — speak louder than their rhetoric ever could.
