Basically Trump is threatening to sanction NATO unless NATO commits suicide.
And people still think he might sanction Russia. He is doing Putin’s work.

⚡️ Trump floats tariffs on countries opposing his Greenland ambitions.
"I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security. So I may do that," Trump said.

The single biggest thing (in cost terms) I’ve changed my mind about is UK tuition fees. Dreadful system, need to scrap it.
This is clearly depressing and radicalising in a way a tax wouldn't have been.

The Greens appear to be the only party who consistently point out that privatisation is a scam.
These utilities were sold off with no debt, are monopolies, yet strangely they're now saddled with debt but those who run them have become incredibly wealthy at the detriment to everyone else.

Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike.
Privatised water is a scam.
I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

The russians are just deranged. No sense of what they do to others, it's always about them. The whole country is a narcissistic state.
The UK’s chargé d’affaires in Moscow arrived at russia’s Foreign Ministry. Outside the building, a crowd gathered holding placards reading: “Your weapons kill children,” “London spreads death,” and “Britain is a terrorist state” 🤡
Russians say to brits "your weapons kill children" lol the audacity!

What too many people refuse to admit is while they search around frantically for signs that Trump will help Ukraine, what has really happened is that Trump has protected Putin while the Russians have criminally attacked Ukrainian civilian life. This foolishness must stop now.

"The abduction of Maduro was not about naming his crimes, but about ignoring them. The worst thing Maduro did is what Trump is beginning to do: killing civilians and blaming them for their own deaths. After Minneapolis, Maduro’s lies are being repeated: in American English, by American authorities."
The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear.
