That Bew interview really nailed the pragmatic approach London's taking with Trump. The bit about "sharp, effective diplomacy" even when it sticks in the craw shows alot more maturity than most give Starmer credit for. I've worked in similar high-stakes enviornments and that kind of calculated restraint is way harder than public grandstanding. The quiet UK-Germany planning for post-American security is probably the most consequential shift happening right now.
Thank you so much for reading. And on your last point, yes, it definitely is, although one big problem is that Greenland could accelerate it all before Europe is ready.
