The hate of men will pass, and dictators die.

85 years ago, Charlie Chaplin delivered his famous speech at the end of his first film with dialogue - The Great Dictator.

He spoke these timeless words as Nazis rose to power, and the drums of war beat in Europe, echoing across the world.

As relevant, and necessary to hear, today as ever

Worth considering in the context below:

Most of America's major lenders are currently being aggressively attacked, in various ways, by the president.

All while he rapidly increases US government borrowing needs in chaotic fashion.

It really is mind-blowingly stupid... Historic idiocy. 🤦‍♂️

💡 After four massive Russian strikes since 2026, Kyiv is living through severe blackouts: many homes get just 1.5-2 hours of electricity a day, while most streets remain completely dark.

Lovers exchanging gifts?

Switzerland's Foreign Min Ignazio Cassis gave his opposite number, Lavrov, a music box playing Tchaikovsky "to remind you Russia is part of Europe"

How quaint, rewarding genocide; it's -16c (real feel -27c) in Chernihiv, as Russia freezes civilians.

Well, now it turns out that it’s no longer enough for Russia for Ukraine to hand over what remains of Donbas without a fight, its strongest fortified region, so that “the war can end.”

They do not want peace.

And Ukraine has no “simple” or “easy” choice of giving up Donbas to end the war. Russia will fight for as long as it is physically and economically able. And amid this farce staged to fool no one but Donald Trump -- Russia is openly preparing for a spring–summer campaign.

According to Russian sources, around 50 drones were reported; however, these estimates, along with the routes, are extremely approximate.

Everyone in the country remembers who was in the White House when insurrectionists stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to keep Donald Trump in power.

Except this man. He is simply too stupid.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

From railway conductor to lifesaver at war. This is service. This is strength.

Oh, here comes another wave of insanity.

Ukraine is now supposed to surrender in a war it has not lost and willingly ensure its own destruction by Russia because Trump needs to avert a midterm disaster.

Oh, the irony… Solovyov argues over whether Ukraine even needs denazification, all while claiming that Europe, all the way to Lisbon, should belong to Russia.
