In Hitler's last will and testament, dictating hours before he committed suicide, 80 years ago in April 1945, he insisted that no one had wanted war in 1939. It had been forced on him by 'international Jewry and its helpers.'
Trump has fully turned on Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."

A study by Bertelsmann Stiftung found that immigrants in Germany contributed €22bn more in taxes and social security than they received in benefits in 2012.
More recent data from the DIW suggests EU migrants tend to be net contributors, while non-EU migrants contribute more over time.

The US president has scrapped paper straws because they allegedly ‘explode’ – a bit like the PM’s reputation if he keeps refusing to confront him on the big issues
