The leader of the free world & his deputy bullying, shouting & finger pointing at President Zelenskyy. “You haven’t said thanks”. Truly abhorrent (& embarrassing). Time for Europe to raise their game! www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/... #standwithukraine

Wow! We’re back in the dark ages - pre-the enlightenment. We’re now living in a world whereby the US is ANTI-diversity, ANTI-science, ANTI-Ukraine, and PRO-Russia. Holy smoke. Everyday it gets worse. Well done American Trump supporters! Hope it works out ok for you guys.

Not only did the US vote against the UN resolution / they filed their own which makes no reference to backing Ukraine's territorial integrity, and refers to Russia's invasion as a "conflict". #shameful www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4...

BREAKING: US voted against Ukraine's UN resolution which branded Russia the "aggressor" & demanded withdrawal of its troops. US on list of 18 nations also incl Russia, Iran and North Korea to vote against. UK & most European nations among 93 states to back Ukrainian resolution. China abstained.

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

Great piece by @lewisgoodall.com on the current global madness. And of course, there’s a reasonable number 6 to add to the list. What has Putin got on Trump? goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/were-wakin...

The very idea that Zelenskyy has to defend who started this war beggars belief - not to mention the dictator comment. We’re living in dark & unsettling times without any guard rails

We continue to live in crazy awful times. Putin illegally invades Ukraine, suppresses Russian democracy & has opposition leaders poisoned (& the rest), but yet the new US administration is happy to appease. Perhaps try reading the outstanding Navalny autobiography.
