Watching JD Vance since he entered politics has really made me understand the kind of person that led Dante to write about someone so monstrously amoral and treacherous that his soul could fall straight to Hell while still walking around alive and well.

Pitiful show from the EU as per usual.
European weakness on full display by these horribly contorted responses from Merz, Macron and Starmer - neither condoning nor condemning US actions in Venezuela
Such weakness only risks making the Europeans more vulnerable (ie Greenland)

Unpopular opinion: the obsession with whether Nigel Farage is taking Russian money is obscuring us from the far more troubling reality of where he's actually taking money from.
Yes, Russians have used Tether to launder money. So does everyone.
