It is very interesting that Ukraine has now chosen to target oil tankers at sea. They are way to target, hard to defend, targets that Ukraine could have targeted earlier.
The fact that they were not targeted earlier probably had something to do with environmental consequences …

Trump may well file suit against the BBC. That costs little and gives him his talking point.
However if filed such suit will not be pursued and will stay in limbo, just like the WSJ suit. Trump cannot afford to be examined under oath either about Epstein or the coup attempt, and he knows it.

According to multiple sources, the US ambassador to Canada launched an expletive laden tirade against an Ontario government official in respect of the Ontario/Reagan ad. This took place at a formal dinner with multiple government and industry leaders in attendance.

Trump claims his tariffs are legal because they are in response to one of many emergencies. Does not imposing tariffs on Canada because he is miffed about a TV advert show that argument to be an outright lie.
If Trump can invoke emergency powers every time his feelings are hurt, then you are lost.

Amongst all of the other craziness emanating from the Trumpists yesterday, it is understandable that being missed is that Trump again repeated his 51st state threat against Canada.
We would prefer you as friends, but if you are going to be an enemy, we can deal with that too.

Trump has discussed relocating World Cup games out of certain US cities in order to protect the safety of fans. For once I agree with Trump, although he has not gone far enough. The World Cup should be moved out of the US entirely in order to ensure that players and fans are not arbitrarily arrested

Jimmy Kimmel said nothing at all about Charlie Kirk. What he did say is that Republicans are politicizing his death in the hope of justifying further repression. Which of course they are.
Anyone who does not stand with Jimmy Kimmel richly deserved the darkness the Republicans are peddling.

Pete Hoekstra is disappointed that not enough Canadians are enthusiastic about Canada’s relationship with the US and that the last federal election featured elbows up and anti-American rhetoric.
For my part I am disappointed that Pete Hoekstra represents a fascist state and has not been expelled.

Trump has just written “it is Biden’s and Zelensky’s war”, and is calling upon all NATO members to impose 50 to 100 % tariffs on China as a condition precedent to him imposing tariffs on Russia.
Every time you think you have seen “ peak” Trump, he finds a new level of evil and betrayal.

The Guardian is reporting that organizers of the US Open are asking broadcasters not to televise the expected booing of Trump when he is announced.
I know how broadcasters in the UK, Canada and Australia would respond to that request. Let’s see whether American broadcasters have any backbone left.

There seems to be something happening in the front lines in Ukraine that we do not fully understand.
Much has been said about the under-manning of the Ukrainian front lines. It is suggested that it is evidence of a Ukrainian manpower shortage.
However, what if drones have become so pervasive …

The US Government has sanctioned citizens of Canada and France for the sins of being a member of the International Criminal Court and, in that capacity, authorizing an investigation of Israeli actions in Gaza.
Time for Canada to stand up for its citizens.

Pete Hoekstra just criticized Canadian politicians for “personal attacks” on Trump and stated that Canada, by retaliating against US tariffs, has pulled the rug out from under the CUSMA free trade agreement.
I am lost for words other than “persona non grata”. Expel him for warping reality.

The NYT says that now Harvard is about to do a deal with Trump.
Truly the “home of the brave” has become the land of the cave. Is there no institution in the US not prepared to cravenly submit.
Perhaps now the French should speak of “American surrender monkeys”.

What is wrong with CNN. Dana Bash interviewed the US NATO Ambassador who spoke of Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia as having been “earned by Russia on the battlefield”. He thereby abandoned a century of US policy. Rather than challenging him she let him prattle on about Trump as peacemaker.

Just out of curiosity is there anyone out there who does not think that Trump will get played and will disgrace the formerly good name of the US.
Perhaps someone should tell him that Chamberlain did not get the Nobel Peace Prize.
