There is a strange misconception in the U.S. government that the war in Ukraine is about the territory of Donbas. They believe it because... putin said so? They just cant stop repeating nonsense about giving up Donbas, right?

It is not a war for Donbas. It is a war to destroy Ukraine as a state,

Just stop and think about this for a moment. A double strike. After the first attack, rescuers arrive to save people — firefighters, medics, volunteers. And then russia strikes again, targeting them.
This is a deliberate, cynical war crime.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

I feel like we should all take a moment to remember that Ukrainians are still dying and this guy is just spitting bilge about fucking Greenland being "unprotected" from Russia.

OTD in 1932 the Soviet Union signed a non aggression pact with Finland. We preferred one with the Nazis that had a secret clause cos 7 years later we invaded Finland.

But please trust us over treaties now. We've honored them all since then, just ask Ukraine, Georgia & Moldova.

Look at this and reconsider Trump’s claim that Putin wouldn’t have dared to invade if Trump were president.

He clearly would have.

Putin isn’t afraid of Trump because Trump is weak and compromised

There is no off-ramp with him. The only off-ramp is to remove him. Europe spent a year trying to appease him, and it only made things worse. At this I believe that the average American citizen who is also sick of this crap will also appreciate it if we start to be more confrontational.
Donald Trump's upcoming address to the World Economic Forum in Davos will help determine the tone of Europe's response to the U.S. president's tariff threats as leaders desperately search for an off-ramp from the standoff
EU clings to hope it can defuse Trump at Davos
European leaders are in watch-and-wait mode ahead of the U.S. president’s visit to the continent this week.

What makes this so much worse of a betrayal is that there is a war raging in Europe. Trump looked at this and decided that this war made us Europeans weak enough to take advantage of. We should never forget that.

Reform's opponents need to keep punching this bruise.

It's a real problem for a would-be nationalist leader when they start looking like the lapdog of a hostile power.

This did a lot of damage to Oswald Mosley in the 1930s, and it could become a serious issue for Farage.
It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.

Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

The idea that Russia - a state that has spent almost four years throwing everything it has at conquering its neighbour, and failing - is remotely capable of invading Greenland, or is going to be in the foreseeable future, is ludicrous.
