Hegseth: "We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective ... the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement."
The USA is no longer a reliable ally for Europe. We must build a European defence capability which is totally independent of the Americans. It will cost European taxpayers to do so, but we must stop fooling ourselves that Trump would ever honour the NATO article 5 commitment.

Never mind what happened in 2016, nowadays highly regarded as a military historian (not) Farage goes on GB News reiterating a pet belief that Britain should “never have agreed to an armistice on 11 November”

THE EPSTEIN LATEST: a question for DOJ DAG Todd Blanche: did he know about the Epstein-Maxwell exchanges before his Maxwell interview? (The FBI had gone through the files after all.) And if not, why not? And is she going to enjoy the spoils of a prison "camp" and other benefits, after all this?

Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) is the 218th signature on the bipartisan discharge petition demanding the release of the Epstein files. Under House rules, the House must act in 7 legislative days.

Trump lured Lauren Boebert to an in-person meeting in the Situation Room, instead of calling her on the phone, because he knew all her electronic devices would be confiscated before entry, so she couldn't record anything embarrassing or incriminating.

This sums up how narrowminded UK Treasury penny-pinching and Home Office paranoia are sabotaging efforts by UK negotiators to make gains in areas where there is less EU unity like SPS and SAFE which also happen to involve far more money.
Another sign of Downing Street indecision.

So Pakistan is *paying* Qatar to *not* deliver LNG because even including this penalty payment their solar PV and battery spending is much better value for money and saves them billions.
