🧠 Germany's Merz unwilling to speak with Putin as he only escalates attacks post-talks

From the outside this looks like “someone else will speak up for me” mentality. Either everyone participates in civil disobedience & unrest, or you’re toast. The rapid transition to becoming an authoritarian state with no human rights is here. Imagine being ok with your kids growing up in that…

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 To Open Evil Tomb Of Batibat

Can we just fucking nuke each other already? If I have to wake up to headlines like this from now on then I’d rather wake up in an irradiated wasteland. (This is a real, article in comments)

If you’ve seen the video this image was taken from, it should be obvious that America is now a religiously radicalised nation. There are no differences between fundamentalist Christians and radical islamists. They’re just both sides of the same coin.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them theonion.com/democra...

❗️🇺🇦Zelenskyy arrived in the 🇬🇧UK to deepen defense cooperation between the two countries - Ukrainian presidential spokesman Nikiforov The president is scheduled to meet with King Charles III, Prime Minister Starmer and the speakers of both houses of parliament.

I’m not saying you should open fire on the ICE Gestapo squads, all I’m saying is that I would…

Paranoid wrecks like this mother (and all the other naive “conservatives”) will be the death of us. Belief in Conspiracy theories should’ve been treated as a mental health break, after the isolation of the pandemic some people lost their minds.

I’d actually support this preemptive strike on a radical Islamic regime obtaining enriched uranium, if it weren’t for these two significant problems: 1) Trump 2) Netanyahu

🇷🇺russian soldiers asking to Ukrainian soldiers: “If they’ll be executed or captured?” 🇺🇦Ukrainian responds: “We’re not you. You’re captured.”

❤️‍🩹A new exchange of prisoners of war has taken place! Most of the soldiers were in captivity for over 2 years, - Zelensky. Among those released are the defenders of Mariupol.

Interpreters were fucking heroes. ICE and Trump are just diet Nazis. Fuck this version of America.

Time to end imports of Russian gas - pipeline and LNG - to the EU for good. If Hungary and Slovakia don't like this, they should leave the EU. They contribute little, cost a lot, and their government's gave made it clear that they reject the values of the EU. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The hypocrisy of MAGA cultists.

Yvette Cooper ripped the mask off - Badenoch’s fake outrage is pure bollocks, just another piss-poor Tory distraction while real victims get ignored. #ukpolitics

Trump has sold the office of POTUS to a Russian dictator, and he did it by using cults such as; evangelicals, Neo-Nazis, NRA gun nuts, and his own political cult of personality.

A recent image from the US that gives me hope. One day, we might have our ally back 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

❗️🇰🇵North Korea lost over 6,000 soldiers in 🇷🇺Kursk region – 🇬🇧British intelligence

I was a troop, I’ve seen some embarrassing things happen on a parade square in my time. I’ve even seen someone fall over and put a bayonet through their foot (yes, ‘through’). But Trump’s military parade was a whole new level of humiliation. I’d have taken a month in the brig for refusing orders.

Latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine - June 15 2025. - 🇬🇧UK Ministry of Defence

UK minister admits rules banning armed forces from speaking out are unlawful

Is everything alright, America? … it’s just that the Pentagon posted a ‘flag day’ image that features Russian flags…

Admiral Radakin described the acquisition as a critical step in increasing the UK’s conventional lethality and reinforcing deterrence at a time of growing global instability. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/britain-want...

UK Ministry of Defence confirming the likely 1,000,000 casualties sustained by Russia.

In George Orwell’s 1984, the children were the most warped & sadistic people in the story. That’s because they watched the actions of adults, especially the ones with power. Expect more stories like this while Trump and ICE exist. Much, much more.

🗣️ We should be realistic about those who brought war to Europe. Russia cannot be persuaded to peace by persuasion. But there are forms of pressure that can harm those who are behind this, — Zelensky. I ask you to support a serious strengthening of sanctions against Russia.

Fuck the Whitehouse and the federal traitors facilitating this Russian/Trump coup. America will never be forgiven for abandoning a democracy under attack, or for the disinformation they peddle. The UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and many more stand firmly with Ukraine. The VICTIM of Putin. Slava 🇺🇦

Gentle reminder to white Yanks that all Americans are immigrants. Us British know that because we put most of you there; the religious nutcases, criminals, pioneers and explorers alike. French & Spanish did too. YOU - ARE - ALL - FUCKING - IMMIGRANTS. Good day 🧐

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.

Terrifying.

I’m not American, not in America, never been to California, but I’m as angry about the LAPD and Trump’s attempted power-grab as any sane American right now. Keep that video of an innocent local resident being shot with a baton round in your mind for when this is over. Investigations are needed.

🇺🇦 Wounded Ukrainian soldier rescued by unmanned ground vehicle.

Reeks of Kremlin behaviour, Trump clearly wants escalation until he can declare Marshall law. In the meantime, he’s creating a media blackout in order to just make shit up 🤷‍♂️

Had no idea who he was when I first saw the vid on Reddit, but he was concise & articulate. Highly recommend, especially if you’re American

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

Trump is using his Russian bot farm to convince America that they need Marshall law. This is how he takes power permanently, but like everything else this’ll go unnoticed until it’s too late to do anything about it.

Look, I don’t want to keep posting about America, but Jesus Christ…

A petition calling on the UK Government not to increase defence spending has attracted just 611 signatures since it was launched — a number that underscores just how little appetite there is for reversing the rearmament of Britain. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/anti%e2%80%9...

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

The Royal Air Force is set to deepen its integration with civilian aviation providers, using chartered aircraft to expand its capacity for airlift, troop transport, and even air-to-air refuelling. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/?p=60125

❗️Trump called Musk a “hard-core drug addict” after their public spat, – WP. The White House officially told the publication that the US president was worried about Musk’s addiction – and because of that they stopped communicating.

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Following on from my last post, I guess. These Neo-Nazi stories, together with ICE raids, and threatening allies, has shaken all trust in 🇺🇸 democracy.
