Well this is New America for you. Or should that be Новая Америка?

I can't make my mind up. Is it Islamophobia? Is it racism? Is it misogyny? Or is it all three?

The normalisation of things that lead to bad outcomes....

Like I say, dump PURL, accept the compromises and focus on core European defense industrial base support (and I use the term European as opposed to EU on purpose).

Just ensure Witkoff and Trump can't build golf courses with it.
December 3, 2025 at 3:45 PM
I think it's time to knock PURL on the head and accept that access to exquisite US systems and some production capacity will be lost but the trade off can be investing in capacity of genuine allies of Ukraine as well as supporting them more directly.

American's look very happy meeting Russian's here. That is very clear.
December 3, 2025 at 10:36 AM
Yep America come to heel in Muscovy and take your orders.
December 3, 2025 at 8:43 AM
He thinks his Russian dressing joke is very funny I am sure. American's meanwhile stand by and basically agree with him or don't but put up with this (with the exception of 'campaigning by social media post' and having a nice day out at the park during summer aka 'No Kings').
December 3, 2025 at 8:41 AM
Indeed. No matter how hard they try there is no satisfying the bloodlust of Muscovy. I imagine what actually happened was that they were forced to sit through another lecture of revisionist history from the genocidal bunker grandpa for 5 hours.
December 2, 2025 at 11:07 PM
America doesn't realise what an utter joke it's become. Dribbling grandpa here with his carer while two grifters are off playing State Department in Moscow tying to sell an entire nation down the drain. Pathetic.

They are mostly passing about Roubles in a spreadsheet....worthless on both counts
December 2, 2025 at 1:40 PM
Thieving junta? He's talking about himself of course.
December 2, 2025 at 12:13 PM
Why do Christians in this administration smirk when justifying what appears to be murder?
December 1, 2025 at 7:57 PM
It's becoming.....confusing. The OBR should be disbanded. The Government should produce it's own FC, release the model and assumptions alongside the budget and let people decide whether the FC, assumptions and budget is reasonable (and even if the model is 'correct').
December 1, 2025 at 12:01 PM
Well don't bank on that given the allegations now bubbling around Hegseth.
December 1, 2025 at 11:55 AM
Providence....

The stateless and self interested.
December 1, 2025 at 9:51 AM
To be honest this will be up there with Trump saying release the files. I'd like to be proven wrong though.
November 30, 2025 at 9:43 PM
I think that's a fair qualification. Although it also begs another question related to Putin's particular ability to judge risk and understand the full range of uncertainty in possible outcomes attached to his decisions. His decision to invade Ukraine would seem to be a case in point.
November 30, 2025 at 6:18 PM
Of course. Witkoff gave the US' key ally the wink.
November 30, 2025 at 6:03 PM
It won't be.
November 30, 2025 at 4:54 PM
Always interesting. Although I can't help feeling there is an unresolved dilemma and contradiction in your comment about Russia's (and Putin's) sense of the necessity for preemption...when I think you have previously dismissed the notion Putin and therefore Ru will strike at NATO next....
November 30, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Hilarious that he thinks getting a pardon is the solution to a bitterly divided nation.
