@billbrowder.bsky.social is an absolute legend. Perhaps the irresponsible behaviour of Trump over the last few days will galvanise European leaders into doing something radical, like using the frozen Russian cash to say fuck you Putin and fuck you Trump

Time for the UK and Europe to end their navel-gazing and hand Russia's frozen billions to Ukraine's noble cause www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic...

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.

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

Trump has now completely humiliated his apologists in the U.K. but not one of them will be honest enough to admit it.

“Long and difficult journey to end war”. That’s strange. Trump said he would end the war on day one?

Bleakly fascinating to watch the US unilaterally blow up a global network of alliances and institutions when those have been the cornerstone of American global influence since WW2. A national act of self-sabotage, of which you'd imagine China will be the prime beneficiary.

DOGE is doing to America exactly what Musk did to Twitter.

This, from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social, is perhaps the clearest, and therefore the most chilling, summary I’ve read of what is happening today in America - namely, regime change. @iandunt.bsky.social @dorianlynskey.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Article 5 - that an attack on one Nato ally is an attack on all - has only been invoked once, after 9/11, by the United States

Hard to see why Ukrainians would lay down arms for Trump’s deal when they are getting nothing out of it, and Trump is offering them zero support
