“A breakthrough in talks,” they say.

For the third day in a row, Russia is striking the Port of Pivdennyi. Ukraine’s largest port is burning for the second day straight.

Day 2142 of #Brexit: ‘The new threat is so dizzyingly bizarre that Europe, and especially Britain, is slow to believe it. The US declares itself our enemy. Europe emerges as its main adversary in the US national security strategy. Russia is its friend, not us.’ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

USA is now an adversary, no longer an ally.
