I wonder what fascist Russia was “retaliating” for this time?

Proves that a minerals deal provides zero security.

trump must have put one hell of a threat out there, but some are falling over suspiciouly quickly! If they pull out of pride they might well also pull out of Ireland!! A quarter of major US corporate backers pull out of Dublin Pride over Trump fears www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

Russia uses chemical weapons. There is nothing to report. It's totally not something that Western countries will take action to stop. Russia has eternal impunity.

Iran has been attacked by a nuclear power. It should disarm, pledge neutrality and cede land for peace in case Israel lashes out. Apparently that's how this works.

They only think about the profit they can make now because that is what determines their pay.

My parade sucks cos Ukrainians blew up all my tanks. What's Donald's excuse?

This is the saddest, most pathetic thing I've ever seen. Trump has made the US look small.

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

Putin's collection of failed dictators might get another addition.

Head scratcher: EPA emissions projections show Ag will miss its legally binding targets by a country mile BUT … All the tech needed to get the job done exists in the real world. So why isn’t it being used? 🧵1/4 www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

🤣

This didn't age well! In an environment where spin matters it is useful not to believe everything one is told!

The whole negotiations circus was just there to satisfy trump. It was never going to yield anything. Maybe Ukraine got a few more weapons deliveries by going along with this but the US was out on the day trump was inaugurated, and pandering to trump is only going to weaken Ukraine.
