Hegseth: "We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective ... the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement."
The USA is no longer a reliable ally for Europe. We must build a European defence capability which is totally independent of the Americans. It will cost European taxpayers to do so, but we must stop fooling ourselves that Trump would ever honour the NATO article 5 commitment.

Love that the media still feels obliged to insert a quote (but not, of course, an apology) from the Independent Schools Council at the same time as calling bullshit on its scare-mongering claims about the impact of VAT before it was introduced.

What an unlucky coincidence that so many of the Brexit champions appear to be grossly dishonest conmen with a massive dose of raging prejudice where their sense of shame should be.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

🤡 Meanwhile, Putin ordered the Dnipro and Vostok groups to continue their offensive on Zaporizhzhia.
And the Russian General Staff reported to the Russian dictator that Russian Armed Forces are 15 km from the southern outskirts of Zaporizhzhia.
