Popok: I don’t want to live in a country where I wake up and the president and his henchmen are sending other human beings—and they are outsourcing them for cash. Paying cash to third-world countries that don’t respect our values.

Friday 30 May 2025, which is also Day 1192 of Russia's illegal war. This is THE daily thread with everything you need to know about Putin's "special operation" which is just 1,189 days late in taking Kyiv. Another early start before I get some at least a little sleep!

🇫🇷🇰🇵🇨🇳 Macron: "North Korean soldiers in Ukraine is a big issue for all of us. If China does not want NATO to be involved in Southeast Asian affairs, it must prevent North Korea from interfering in European territory."

Can any big company invest in the US when Trump persistently destabilizes their conditions with wild decisions about trade & immigration? Trump is making it nearly impossible to invest in the US. If the republicans in Congress had any sense of responsibility they would stop him.

🇺🇸🤔 Trump: "I saw things that really surprised me: missiles being launched at cities like Kyiv during negotiations that I thought were very close to being concluded. We were going to solve the problem, and then suddenly the missiles started coming in... I'm very disappointed."

What Trump says is meaningless because he it’s ignorant and weak. Totally unfit to lead. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/u...

Good thing for Putin he has such a good friend in WH to run cover for him while he continues to bomb civilians.

Trump is admitting two things here. The first is that he has been serving Russian interests by protecting Putin on numerous occasions. The second is that Trump is feeling pressure to be harder on Russia, which he really doesn’t want to do. Response: keep up the pressure!

The fact that Merz is visiting Finland so soon after taking office, to meet also the other Nordic prime ministers, is a sign that he understands the importance of engaging with Northern Europe in a different way that Scholz did. Would be very happy to see Germany making an effort to win back trust
