Will "Sleepy Don" Trump now have to give his personalised FIFA fake "peace prize" back? No peace in Ukraine. None in Thailand/Cambodia. And all the others Trump claimed he'd fixed actually still bubbling along just beneath the surface. Turns out Trump's cheap, off the shelf peace deals are shite

I'll add a caveat, Intuit: male poor and working class Russians have been decimated. Not the likes of the sons of wealthy Russians, or members of the Duma, or anyone working in the Kremlin, or indeed any of those propaganda merchants that work for RT or other "media" organisations. They're safe.

"Birds of a feather flock together" - as the saying goes. So what do we have here? Two corrupt individuals who both avoid any kind of transparency or accountability. The one wants to be leader of the world, thanks to being King of the USA. And the other rules world football. And both are egomaniacs.

Ukraine protest. Trump has been well briefed by Putin (and his US based fans) on how to weather the protests - as Putin did - and by stealth or force undermine the US, such that Trump can take his place in the "Dictator's Club". That's the goal, and Europe better wake up and recognise that too.

Intuit, we have a old saying in the UK: "Birds of a feather flock together." It applies 100% to Trump's attraction to authoritarians and dictators. Putin's clearly his favourite - why doesn't really matter. What matters is this attraction has been evident since Trump's first term and yet it seems

And those of us who support Ukraine (and Europe) should point this out very clearly and LOUDLY to every pro Russian, MAGA, Trumpist, that continues to spout about how much they help Ukraine. Sadly, we are still locked into buying US weapons, which helps Trump keep the US economy healthy.

In the UK we have an expression for someone whose loosing their mind (due to age or illness), or even by getting so angry they can't control themselves: "They've gone round the bend.". Based on his constant nonsense about delivering peace in Ukraine, this seems to be an accurate description of Trump

This isn't simply an issue that relates to cost, or anything technological. The US is no longer a trustworthy and reliable ally. All policy is now made - or unmade - at the whim of Trump, or, worse, a minion acting on Trump's behalf. That's not the basis for any type of alliance or co-dependence.

Sometimes in trying to be "balanced" the media are just shite. Putin has never "feared" Trump. Even if he doesn't control him through kompromat he runs rings round Trump by playing to his egomania. And does anyone honestly think Witkoff isn't an agent of Russia? It's why he was given his job.

I seriously hope that Euro leaders realised this months ago and all we're seeing now is reiteration. If they didn't then their advisers/intelligence agencies are rather pathetic, as many of us who follow Noel have known this since at least Alaska. They're dealing with corrupt charlatans. Led by one

Well said for naming and shaming, Garland, wayons. if he'd actually done his job - instead of being too frightened to move on anything - we'd never have a Trump 2.0, as he'd have been found guilty of various crimes. Instead Trump gets to play king and the US will be sorely fucked by the end of 2026.

I thought the video was going to end with "our hero" getting to his new apartment and it had stairs and no lift. But this is even better. I've said it before, and I'll repeat: even when this war ends Russia will never have the money to rebuild these cities and towns. But may Trump + Witkoff would?

Troubling news, Intuit, but it was inevitable. I'm sure most of us knew that. But I'm assuming holding on for so long has allowed Ukraine to put in a strong defensive line further west. Is that your view?

I'm assuming they all know that Putin understands English, and can speak it. Do Witless or Kushner speak Russian? If not then they're at a disadvantage. That said, this isn't a negotiation is it. This is simply to agree what they think they can get away with in terms of Ukraine's capitulation.

At least there's no pretence any more that Trump was interested in supporting Ukraine. He had to go through the motions to keep those dumb Europeans happy, and deflect from the reality (following Putin's advice always). But money talks and deals can be done. Including turning the US into Russia 2.0

That was a signal to Rubio that Trump couldn't give a fuck about what he says, and that the only reason he's in the government is: a. He's controlled and can't be a critic of King Donald. And, b. That he's tarred with the stains of this administration, which signals the end of his political career.

Of course, diplomacy has nothing to do with US foreign policy any more. Not for Russia, Ukraine, Gaza, Argentina, Venezuela, or anywhere else. It's all about the money, via grift, extortion, corrupt deals, etc for a president with checked power, whose only interest is his own aggrandisement.

Question for you, Intuit. Would it be possible to programme the shahed to respond to being fired at, and then autonomously track onto the point of fire? Wouldn't that be more effective than having someone constantly watching a video feed, which may end up spotting no AD anyway?

It's such an obvious false flag op that I hope nobody (apart from Russian bots and propagandists) buys into this nonsense. They couldn't even get the type of strike right (because they don't have the kit) so someone flew a drone into the bridge. It looks like scrap anyway. Hence not much of a loss.

Despite this being a Russkie I found the clip pitiful to watch - and that's saying something after years of watching drone strikes on men and materiel. I suppose it's because the whole exercise is simply doomed, so we just wait for the inevitable outcome. Meanwhile his officers are having a laugh.
