Absolutely right!
Trump's U.S. carpet bagger "envoys" -Witless Witkoff and Javid Kashner - currently in the Kremlin negotiating with War Criminal Putin are there talking surrender terms and business deals, not 'peace' terms.

Good, about time. Now to convince the Belgian 'Bookkeeper' PM Bart De Wever to agree to using Russia's €200bn frozen assets for Ukraine's defence & infrastructure rebuild before Trump's carpet baggers get their grubby hands on it (now in Moscow negotiating with War Criminal Putin). Carpe diem!

The combatant realignment in its impact on the naval situation in the Mediterranean and Adriatic is also worthy of more study. The KuK & Italian navies had even conducted joint exercises pre-1914 treating France as be the 'enemy'. Hopefully you can write about that conundrum one day! 😉

Brilliant film director. He's brought so much joy and entertainment into our lives.
So many of his movies fall in to my 'favourites' category but 'Gladiator', 'Kingdom of Heaven' and 'Black Hawk Down' top my list.
Happy 88th birthday, Sir Ridley! 🎉🎈🥳

Does he have a 'proper' job yet? Or is he still grifting off his fading 'glory' days as a former Tory MP, making animal grunts in the HoC?

Trump won't be around to see it. Neither will Farage for that matter 😉
