O caso do roubo das joias

Over the last 24 hours, Ukrainian forces successfully targeted and destroyed a Russian Buk-M3 air defense system in the southern combat zone. The cost of the destroyed equipment is estimated to be around $25 million, dealing a significant blow to Russian military capabilities in the region.

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Under Trump the assumption is that if you’re from an ethnic minority, female, or LGBT, you cannot possibly have achieved any office through merit. And so Brown and Franchetti are sacked and the white supremacist purge gathers pace.

The fight against Franco in the Spanish Civil War, The fight against Putin in the Ukraine war. Sometimes in history there is no argument, no equivocation. You either support the forces of darkness or you’re with the resistance. ¡No pasarán! Slava Ukraini. Heroiam Slava

With Ukraine. Always with Ukraine. Never with Putin and Russia’s poodle Trump. Never with fascism. Never with bullies, bigots and hate-mongers. Slava Ukraini! Heroiam Slava! On the side of decency, democracy and truth

Through corruption, treachery, and disinformation, a Putin stooge has seized control of the USA. Farage and Reform are the vehicles for Russia to do the same in Britain.

This betrayal is unbearable. There is a massive reaction to Trump’s treachery starting to swell up across Europe and Canada. I hope our American friends will join forces. Slava Ukraini. Heroiam Slava 🇺🇦

Trump and Musk, peddlers of hate speech, own this. When bullies seize power the frailest are crushed

Trump and Musk, peddlers of hate speech, own this. Horrific. God rest Rebecca’s soul.

How can MAGA-supporting Yanks even show their faces in Europe? After Trump and his Putin-besotted bullies’ lies, threats, and insults about our democracies they won’t always be getting a warm welcome.

Trump has stopped all funding for landmine clearance in Ukraine. Little children are being mutilated daily by Putin’s landmines. All Ukrainians involved in this dangerous work have lost their jobs. Repeat this horror in Laos, Iraq, Sri Lanka and elsewhere. Nice work by a ‘Christian’ president.

Chamberlain Hitler 1938 Trump Putin 2025 History repeats itself. Shame on the USA. Slava Ukraini.

Trump, infatuated with Putin and unstable of mind, is out of control in the driver’s seat. Decent Americans hold on for dear life while Putin cheers him on. He’ll crash right into the heart of Europe, shattering our security - and US interests. For the love of God - can’t they stop him?

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

WOW: Canadians ruthlessly BOO the United States during the singing of the National Anthem before their game in the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off. Three fights then erupt between the two teams within the first 10 seconds of the game.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

He's right, the time has come for a European army to prepare for what is coming

Ukrainian Armed Forces liberate Pishchane village in Pokrovsk sector, - Viktor Tregubov, spokesman for Khortytsia operational and strategic group

The BBC’s hounding of Rachel Reeves is becoming surreal. They found evidence about a meal and a £49 handbag. If that’s the best they can come up with, the accusation it is biased against Labour passes muster.

I’m wondering if Trump is trying to wean Russia from its cosy partnership with China by dangling Ukraine as a bait. If so - and he thinks Putin is trustworthy- he’s even a bigger fool than I imagined.

The cringing irony of Capitol-rioter apologist J D Vance lecturing Western Europe on the importance of democracy.

Turned on BBC Question Time naively expecting the first question to be about the threat Trump poses to democracy and the security of Ukraine. It was about Rachel Reeve’s CV. This obsession with the agenda of Reform and Tory rags encapsulates why so many of us then just turn it off. Life’s too short.

Victoria Derbyshire on Newsnight challenging the grotesque loudmouth Sebastian Gorka. He encapsulates Trump’s foul White House.

Poor brave Ukraine, its schools and hospitals bombed every night, now shafted and abandoned by Trump. What has Putin got on him? No surprise about Quisling Farage who was never off Russia Today raking in their dirty money. The USA is no longer an ally of the West.

After the Brexit vote many British people visiting Europe signalled they’d voted Remain - invariably getting a positive response. Americans are going to have to reassure Europeans that they, like us, didn’t vote for a repulsive, corrupt, divisive asshole if they too want a warm welcome.

Bravo, Rep. Marc Pocan !

Turkeys voting for Christmas get served up. Tiniest of violins now playing.🎻 Who’s next? Workers for Trump? 🎻 Women for Trump? 🎻Latinos for Trump? 🎻 LGBT for Trump? 🎻

Dear Keith Starmer Unlike Foul Farage and Batty Badenoch You are a decent human being. In the looming struggle between right and might Please stick with our European friends and don’t be Trump’s poodle. Yours sincerely The good people of Britain. ❤️

Putin and Xi toasting each other as they watch the monstrous clown serving their interests by ripping the West apart. Putin e Xi brindam enquanto observam o palhaço monstruoso servindo seus interesses ao despedaçar o Ocidente.

Why, immediately following the horrific Washington air crash why is #BBCNewsnight giving so much airtime to this vile creep Robin Starbuck who claims that Biden had fast tracked people such as blind crippled ‘dwarves’ to fly American planes?

Vamos divulgar @padilhando.bsky.social

Trump has cut funding for all land mine removal projects around the world placing children in mortal danger or at risk of horrific mutilation. But he had his admirers.

Lethal land mine clearance in Ukraine is a humanitarian project close to our hearts. Trump has abruptly cancelled all future funding to stop children’s limbs being blown apart by Putin’s army. We won’t forget those religious leaders who stood up to him nor those who colluded with him.
