Amazing to now be alive in a world where the vice president of the U.S. is publicly saying there's a chance France and the UK would nuke the U.S. that the U.S. must take seriously and that it should act accordingly and intervene in their affairs

Britain’s ‘finest hour’ - standing ‘alone’ against the Nazi tyranny (and read one of Churchill’s speeches before you accuse me of revisionism) was actually a moment where it mobilised diversity across the planet to hold on. Why do these ‘patriots’ hate what the rest of the world sees as greatness?
"Read the bloody room" tweets Mr Braverman, who opposes the King's message of togetherness, but strongly approves of President Trump!

This is actually a really interesting phenomenon well worth in-depth reporting:(1) What is the idea of diversity and identity of the incredibly diverse, migrant-origin elite that seems to embrace nativism? and(2) How do they feel about so many in their movement regarding THEM as part of the problem?
The attacks on diversity in the U.K. come from quite surprising people. Ms Braverman is a Buddhist with two Indian parents, Mr Braverman is a migrant from South Africa. They are a model example of U.K. diversity.

Russia just bombed the main highway leading into Kharkiv - heavy traffic with families returning home after Christmas - cars are burning with people in them.

I somehow doubt that many will come out with the excuse that Russia celebrates Christmas on a different day.
❗️Nine bipartisan U.S. senators (from both Democrats and Republicans) issued a joint statement sharply condemning Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities on Christmas. They called Vladimir Putin a "ruthless killer who is not interested in peace and cannot be trusted,"
