What I’m talking about is Trump’s efforts to agree a ceasefire. He’s been blackmailing Zelenskyy and offering Putin whatever he want’s. If Trump wasn’...
Where do you live? Under a stone? I may be wrong, it’s difficult to read with how unpredictable Trump is. But he’s seems to be so crazy that he will l...
Very interesting. I would add the observation that in large populations with a small political elite(which seems unavoidable in the modern world). Cer...
You’ve just parroted Trump talking points. It’s all in his head, he’s been saying the same thing for 40 years. It was wrong then and it’s wrong now. A...
Looks like the U.S. is one step closer to civil war. The Democrats caved, but is it because they are washing their hands of Trump, so he can crash and...
The Europeans advised Zelenskyy following the pile on in the Oval Office. They helped him draft the letter which helped mend the relationship between ...
Yes, the signs were there. But what I think is a surprise is that they were now to become supporters of Putin. They were voting to make America great ...
Yes, Putin will play the idiot Trump like a fiddle. He knows that come the next election and Trump leaves office, that the U.S. might be back to busin...
No I don’t deny it, but getting into bed with Russia doesn’t reduce overstretch. It increases it. If the U.S. really doesn’t want overstretch, all she...
Thanks for laying it out ssu, I don’t really have the time to go through all this with neomac right now. It certainly does seem that the U.S. has got ...
That article is behind a paywall, I don’t need to read it though. The Reform party is Nigel Farage, this is what Musk doesn’t understand. Just like th...
Broadcast on Russian TV last night. Solovyov saying that there is no need for a ceasefire now, JD Vance is their man. https://youtu.be/5QyOiYAkWPM?fea...
Insane it is then. Will this mean all the U.S. military bases in Europe being put under wraps. We’ll Tesla stock is tanking, he’ll have to keep his St...
Trump would blackmail the Ukrainians into capitulation. All Trump needs to do is say if Russia doesn’t compromise, U.S. support for Ukraine would be d...
Yes, but Ukraine’s autonomy has effectively been given away before the negotiations have begun. And Russia will not soften her line that Ukraine must ...
Yes, it’s a long way off for Europe, but the forces against this outcome have taken a knock. This is not about enthusiasms for outcomes, but rather lo...
There will be many people who think Putin can be trusted, but the only person who can answer the question is Putin. All we can do is judge him from hi...
Already Reform in the U.K. is split and in disarray. Established rightwing political commentators, such as Andrew Neil are washing their hands of Trum...
These are details, Putin is still at the top of the pyramid. There is nothing else to be said. Unless you would like to demonstrate that Putin can be ...
And Putin wouldn’t invade if an agreement had been signed? It doesn’t matter what argument is put forward, everything goes back to Putin. Someone who ...
SSU has covered this. The small Baltic states and Poland would by now have been invaded, subjected to brutal abuse and assimilated into Russia by forc...
Correct, but Europe must re-arm quickly, this is why many people are shouting about the Russian threat. It takes a lot of effort to overcome the inert...
It’s a myth that “we” said we wouldn’t expand NATO to the east. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/did-nato-promise-not-to-enlarge-gorbachev-says-no/ ...
Canada might not be a good example, here as she may soon be annexed by an autocrat. She missed her chance to join USSR. Anyway that moves away from th...
Yes, I agree, apart from the bit where we have managed our relations with Russia badly. But I return to my initial point that the root of the problem ...
I agree that the U.S. over reacted to the communist threat following WW2. But this wasn’t the root of the problem, it was a symptom. The root lies in ...
If Trump is a genius and is playing a blinder in ending this war. We will see him turn the screw big time on Putin in the coming days. Perhaps after Z...
Yes, paradoxically I think many Europeans do welcome it. That Europe is taking care of her own security. While regretting the cause of it and the poli...
To become Rocket Man. Or is it Icarus. I’ve just heard an interview with general Sir Richard Sherriff (ex chief of the European arm of NATO). Who has ...
Things are moving fast.. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/statement_25_673 Trump has just banned all protest on college campuses,...
Yes, makes sense. There was a similar thing happening in the U.K. with the Tory party. Particularly Boris Johnson, who pushed the Brexit vote over the...
There is a dichotomy here, nationalism pulls together for the fight in a war. If the libertarians want to create division in Europe to weaken the EU. ...
Now Norway is going to enable access to her €1.5trillion sovereign fund for aid to Ukraine. I wonder if the Nobel prize representatives are following ...
The Trump administration has fxcked up big time. By cutting USAID they have fallen at the first hurdle. The biggest threat from China over the last fe...
It might be quite simple really. That Trump wants to be a dictator like Trump, Xi, Kim Jong-un. That his administration is following the Orbanisation ...
Yes, maybe. The way I read it is that Putin has something disgusting on Trump and when he realised that he was going to have to push harder against Pu...
I’m not going to labour the point, but is Putin so strong that he has ended up dug in, in eastern Ukraine. With Ukraine troops picking off his troops....
This is the bit where you tell me why the President during a heated row in the Oval Office in front of the worlds media, starts rambling on about dodg...
Yes the pragmatic solution is a ceasefire with the line drawn where the current frontline lies. With a new iron curtain erected. But we are a long way...
Yes, I agree, I suspect there is Kompromat on Trump which is being leveraged to pull his strings. Indeed there did seem to be a tell (when responding ...
Ouch, did I poke a bear, or something? Look, I’m well aware of the points you raise. But I wasn’t addressing them, I was saying what the big story is,...
