“We’re not kids playing with Putin in a park. He’s a killer who came to murder children,” Zelenskyy said, rebuking Trump’s remarks about him and the Russian dictator. Ukraine’s pain, he added, is hard for any non-Ukrainian, including the U.S. President, to fully grasp.

UK-EU deal 👍👍
Tories should take this opportunity, embrace the deal, push for strengthening relationship, and put the Brexit nonsense behind them. Continuing Brexit ideology is nonsensical now.

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

Well, this didn't age particularly well.
Also depends if Trump can be trusted, and if he follows through on the threats.

This is exactly how I thought India might interpret the Pakistani suspension of the Simla Agreement.
"In effect, Pakistan is saying that LoC does not exist anymore. So now, India can also cross it."
The second part is, well, nuts.

This will lead to war, no doubt. Pakistan will suffer massive drought.
India Water Resources Minister C. R. Patil: “The government is working on measures so that not even a drop of water goes to Pakistan.
“Soon, desilting of rivers will be done to stop the water and divert it.”

🚫 On January 5, 2023, Putin announced a 36-hour Christmas ceasefire. There was no ceasefire, the assaults continued as before. Moreover, Russia was then regrouping near Bakhmut and exactly by the morning of January 6 began an assault on Soledar, which was occupied by the end of the following week.

There is not a single area where Ukrainian soldiers are even remotely in danger of being encircled.
Instead, there is one combat area where an encirclement is happening and this in Toretsk, where Russian forces are about to be cut off in the West of the town, if they didn't have left already.
