The full tawdry terrible story of appeasement, in all its detail, in which literally every moment is an echo of today.

The Wheel of Time deserves a Season 4 as it has just hit its stride, and is about to get spicy!

While it’s not been the best week on the global stage- it’s been the beginning of spring in London.

Byline Times, "Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename ‘Krasnov’ Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief" bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

A former Soviet intelligence officer has claimed Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov" Who would have guessed www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

So @chrischirp.bsky.social is logging Trump's actions under data categories derived from the typical behaviour of authoritarian states as part of an ongoing project. The conclusions are naturally alarming. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

A brilliant piece of diplomatic theatre today. After Russian drones again violated Moldova’s airspace & exploded close to populated areas, the Russian ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. As he entered the meeting, he was confronted with parts of the exploded drones. (🎥 IPN, Moldova)
