NEW: US refuses to call Russia the aggressor & blocks G7 statement on anniversary of Ukraine war. (FT)

The US’s role as an advocate of democracy & freedom is over. There is now NO clear difference between the foreign policies of The White House and the Kremlin.
Financial Times headline which reads: US objects to calling out ‘Russian aggression’ in G7 statement on Ukraine Trump administration splits with allies on holding Moscow responsible for war Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles.

The US envoys have objected to the phrase “Russian aggression” and similar descriptions that have been used by G7 leaders since 2022 to describe the conflict, the western officials said. The world’s leading economies have traditionally issued a statement of support on February 24, the day on which the full-scale invasion started three years ago. “We are adamant that there must be a distinction made between Russia and Ukraine. They are not the same,” an official briefed on the matter told the Financial Times. “The Americans are blocking that language, but we are still working on it and hopeful of an agreement,” the official added. The US embassy in Kyiv declined to comment.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.

I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

US readers! The entire catalog of Charlie Parker novels — including the latest, THE INSTRUMENTS OF DARKNESS — is on sale in Kindle format for $1.99 apiece, for all of February. www.amazon.com/dp/B09F8YKB3...
The logo for the fictional Charlie Parker Investigations shows the Archangel Michael defeating a winged demon in battle, his foot on the demon's bald head. The image appears in a circular border that says PARKER PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS.

Happy Winter Solstice - and Happy #NationalRobinDay!

What better bird to cheer up the shortest day? Reply with your favourite snaps of these beloved garden friends...

Let's fill our feeds with Robins. 😍
A Robin perches proudly on a snow-dusted wooden post, its bright orange-red breast glowing like a beacon of warmth against the frosty, pale winter backdrop. With its feathers fluffed against the cold and beak open in song, this little garden friend perfectly captures the timeless winter cheer of Robins on #NationalRobinDay.

This is unsustainable, especially now that billionaires are taking over our government.
A tweet from Americans For Tax Fairness announces that the combined wealth of four wealthy Americans has reached $1 trillion. It names Musk, Bezos, Ellison, and Zuckerberg, noting their wealth was $74 billion twelve years ago.
