Any territory Ukraine withdraws from Russia will occupy, and the Trump-led US will let them.

Doesn’t matter what Putin or Trump officials say now or what Ukraine gets in writing, no promise from them is credible.

I’m pretty sure the Ukrainians know this. Anyone trying to pressure them should too.

The United States has told Ukraine that it must sign on to a peace deal with Russia in order to get U.S. security guarantees, Reuters writes.

By 'signing on to a peace deal,' they mean surrender. They suggest we surrender in exchange for *maybe* getting security guarantees...🤦‍♀️

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

The newly released video angles of ICE shooting and killing Alex Pretti show us, conclusively: They. Murdered. Him.

Cold Blooded, Decisive MURDER.

There's no "If" they did. THEY DID.

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Jack Smith’s testimony today wasn’t about politics...it was about evidence...limits...and institutional fear.
Under oath...he made clear the case was real. What followed revealed something much darker.

It was impossible to seize Russian tankers until it all of a sudden wasn't.
Yet another proof that when leaders refer to international laws and conventions, as they long did regarding the tankers, it's usually complete nonsense. What matters is political will.

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.”

So, same as Canadians.

“Take back control” and give it all to a deeply narcissistic, malignant, unreliable and corrupt American President who is dementedly destabilising the West and siding with Putin to do so.

The brilliance of Carney's "Sign in the Window" speech was that he was not attacking totalitarianism, but the hypocrisy of liberal democracies. It's about how we pretended to believe the fiction of a rules-based international order because it was convenient—and that time has come to be honest.
“The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true.”

Mark Carney explains how totalitarianism works.

The lesson couldn’t be more clear: do not obey in advance. That is how freedom erodes and dignity disappears.

Zelensky is entirely justified in speaking bluntly like this to Europeans. Too many seem willing to see Ukrainians suffer to provide Europe greater time and security, without acknowledging that Ukraine’s fight is their own.

Donald Trump spread lies and conspiracy theories to his followers to make them believe the 2020 election was rigged against him, then incited an angry mob to attack the U.S. Capitol to stop the election certification.

These are Special Counsel Jack Smith’s findings.

The President is destroying not only the United States, but also global stability.
He is so obviously acting on behalf of Putin.
America has fallen into Russian hands.

The UK is more isolated than at any point since Suez.

Brexit was always a bad idea but it’s downright dangerous now.

Labour are pursuing a failed Tory Brexit that leaves us vulnerable when even Canada is getting closer to the rest of Europe 👇
