In stuk van Politico stond dit staatje over tariffs. Wat is het tweede product, net onder Soja, en ruim boven plastics, machines en staal? Echt? Kunst? En ‘pastels’? Misschien moet politico zijn vertaalprogramma’s nog even checken.

I seriously doubt that Ukraine will sign it and have the parliament approve.

The USA doesnt have anywhere near as much leverage as they think they so - especially when Trump and people around him are hostile to any new military aid packages, security guarantees, etc.

Trump envoy Witkoff parrots Russian propaganda, falsely claiming illegal referendums in occupied Ukrainian regions showed a desire to join Russia.

He calls recognizing Russia's land grab Ukraine's "elephant in the room" and claims Moscow never wanted more.

Reality: Russia's war crimes continue.

Good news. Comics creator Rebecca Burke has finally been released by ICE after two horrific weeks in one of their gulags and is on a flight back to the UK.

Don't come here. Not for awhile, maybe years and years.

Russische olieprijzen vallen. Bedenk dat bij een prijs van $70 er $35-40 als belasting naar het Kremlin gaat (heel grof: alles boven een barrelprijs $40-45 wordt als belasting geïnd). Bij $54 is dat nog maar $9-14. Zelfs kleine daling van de olieprijs heeft groot effect.
🛢️📉 Russian oil prices continue to fall, — Reuters

Urals fell to $54 per barrel. Compared with mid-January, when Urals was shipped to the Baltic at $70 and more, Russian oil has fallen by 23%.
