      Yeah we don’t have enough American news, we should start reframing other countries’ news into how it affects America

      This is in the UK.
      Not the US.

          That stretch of logic sounds an awful lot, like a post-hoc justification after learning it wasn’t about the US. But ok

              I don’t doubt that. But its still a large stretch, to think the UK passed a law applying to all UK citizens, specifically to give the US access to a few thousand dual citizens.

              I’m thinking LoudWaterHombre was right. You simply have an extremely US centric mindset.

                  Now you’re moving the goal post, and pointing to a slippery slope, still trying to justify your original misunderstanding. It’s alright to be wrong sometimes.

                Hey Buddy, this article is about UK and you argue for it to be about the US. Clearly the UK did not pass a law to bend over for your orange overlord.

                This whole discussion is bonkers.
