It’s time for the free world to isolate America until the Trump regime collapses.

Department For Infrastructure win their appeal to the A5 legal challenge
The A5 is back on track after DFI won a sweeping Court of Appeal victory. But the ruling goes much further than one road: it strongly reaffirms the limits of judicial review, making clear that cour…

The strangest thing is that, unlike many historical powers, America’s rapid decline as a world power appears to have been by choice.

If he was working for China or Russia he’d do nothing differently. He should be impeached for treason. America’s decline is spectacular and horrifying.

Speaking as a European, America’s reputation is in tatters and will never be trusted in Europe again. Our governments are now turning to China as a more reliable partner, and that’s saying something.

He doesn't get it. Ukraine did not agree to anything in Anchorage. They weren't even there. Whatever they talked about there is irrelevant.

That’s a different question, i.e how exactly God grounds morality. My point was driving at the question of whether objective moral duties exist at all. If they do, they need an objective ground. Christianity locates that ground in God’s character.

Wesley Johnston 🇺🇦 @niroads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
I share your aversion to Johnson’s actions as they are out of step with what he says he believes. Christianity doesn’t teach “might makes right.” It teaches that God is good by nature, not merely powerful. If power alone made something right, Christians would have no basis to say a tyrant is evil.

Wesley Johnston 🇺🇦 @niroads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
I don’t dispute that cooperation benefits our species. I’m asking a different question: why does that fact create an objective moral obligation? “Helps us survive” and “is morally right” aren’t obviously the same thing.

Wesley Johnston 🇺🇦 @niroads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
I explained it further down that discussion.

Wesley Johnston 🇺🇦 @niroads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
That sounds like a very interesting thought experiment.
100
Wesley Johnston 🇺🇦 @niroads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
My point is about logic: without a higher standard, a cruel person can just say, 'I don't care about cooperation.' We can call them a sociopath, but we can't prove they are breaking a universal rule, only a humam one. That’s all I meant by 'no objective reason.'
100
Wesley Johnston 🇺🇦 @niroads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
You're explaining why empathy works for our species, which is true. If a stronger alien species arrived and thrived by enslaving us, the 'cooperative species' logic would justify harming us. If morality is just what helps a group survive, then 'might makes right' becomes valid for whoever is on top.

Wesley Johnston 🇺🇦 @niroads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
No, I said the opposite. I said that you absolutely can have strong morality without belief in God. What I did say was that you have to acknowledge that there’s no objective reason to think that a decision to embrace empathy and kindness is any “better” than someone who embraces a life of cruelty.

MAGA is absolutely not an example of good morality, Christian or otherwise.
010
Wesley Johnston 🇺🇦 @niroads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
I agree that you don’t have to believe in God to have strong morality. There’s plenty of very moral atheists. But if there’s no source for morality outside our own brains then there’s no logical reason to conclude that a life of empathy is “better” than a life of brutal cruelty.

Most of the founding fathers were Deists, not Christians specifically.

Wesley Johnston 🇺🇦 @niroads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
The New Testament agrees with your valid critique of fear-motivated morality. It doesn’t teach, “Be good or else.” In fact, it teaches the exact opposite. Eg It says, “Perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment” (1 John 4:18).
010
Wesley Johnston 🇺🇦 @niroads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
I agree with that. But nor does atheism give you any compelling reason to believe that is true. It’s an idea that is at odds with the rest of the natural world, which operates on the principle that the strong survive and the weak perish.
