Haha… haven’t heard that one since my days in Ft. Rucker… good old army pilot humour!

More shameful evidence that Trump’s tariffs are a tool to extort governments into enriching not only the US, but also the Trump dynasty and mafia syndicate… Patrimonialism & Kleptocracy at its best!

US needs to recognise that Russia and China are tight allies. It is highly likely US will be in a conflict with Russia and/or China in the next few years. So Ukraine is doing the US a huge favour by weakening Russia. And China will be watching to see Russian success before invading Taiwan.

Russia controls 19% of Ukraine territory after 3 years and over 1500 casualties per day. And it’s suffering from stagnation: 13% inflation (25% food inflation), 21% interest rates, and declining GDP.

So Trump needs to stop emboldening Putin and EU needs to gain confidence that it can win.

Of course, I do agree that the Torys are the losers. I left the Conservatives for the Lib Dems because I’m pro-EU, pro-Ukraine, pro-increased national defence and anti-Trump/Musk/Vance.

The Torys are too busy chasing Reform votes… so have lost long standing members like me.

Self-fulfilling prophecy. While it’s right to point out the trend… we are actually adding to Reform’s momentum by giving Farage a disproportionate amount of coverage.

I don’t see coverage at on the Lib Dem’s despite their strong gains and unique messages on EU and Trump.

Dr. Fiona Hill (former U.S. national security and Davis Center alumna) and Lucian Kim, (International Crisis Group) share perspectives on resolution of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Interesting perspectives from Yevgenia Albats, who calls herself part of the “Navalny resistance” in Russia.
