By deciding to bomb Iran, Trump confirmed two facts about himself: 1) he scolds Ukraine about risking WWIII out of deep deference/sympathy for Ru, not out of caution; 2) his 2-week deadlines to Pu are a stalling tactic, again revealing deference/sympathy for Ru, not caution.

Russia released footage of its soldiers returning from captivity - well-fed and energetic, they quickly boarded buses.
In contrast, Ukrainian POWs return with significant weight loss, suffering from dystrophy, ulcers, vision loss, musculoskeletal damage, heart disease, and digestive problems.

Some local politics. Concluding his final speech in Western Australian state parliament having not been re-elected in the recent state election, Kyle McGinn partakes in the local tradition of chugging a beer from a shoe.

I've seen a couple of posts like this as if they weren't saying it they weren't thinking it.
Actions speak louder than words and Labour have done nothing progressive since coming to power.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish PM Tusk sharply responded to presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki, who suggested Poland might withdraw support for Ukraine’s NATO membership.
“By endorsing this, Nawrocki signs up for Ukraine’s capitulation and dismemberment — deadly dangerous for Poland,” he said.

🚨🚨Another lovely nugget from #brexitland (I posted yesterday on a similar story reported by Guardian): Ministers are trying to sell a 1,300-truck #Brexit border check facility in Kent that is set to be rendered redundant by this week’s EU trade pact. So much WINNING. 🧵

Brexit was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union.
The UK has left the European Union. Referendum fulfilled.
If the people bleating about "Brexit Betrayal" wanted the Referendum to enshrine their pet policy preferences, they should have included them in the question.
