People in the intelligence community call Witkoff Dim Philby - both for his level of intelligence and because he’s working for the Russians.

Brexit won't happen. Trump won't win reelection. Truss would never do that ...

(But if those polls were repeated at an election, we'd have a real crisis of legitimacy, whoever won it)

And that's just one way the West and the media has failed the Ukranian people

Russia's drone and missile attacks are too often lazily presented as 'air war' when they are often simply attacks aimed at civilan infrastructure with no military justification. It's as evil as the Blitz, Dresden, Tokyo.

All that anticipation ...

I'm not sure that's correct. I had to manually uncheck the Smart Features tickbox

Surely 'insider capitalism' is an oxymoron?
