Japan has decided to start sharing satellite intelligence with the Ukrainian military. It’s the first time Japan will provide direct intelligence-sharing to a country at war. Ukraine will receive SAR imagery from 5 satellites operated by iQPS.

Surely it is incompatible for the #Roman-Catholic Church to elect a #Pope who can support a person found guilty of sexual assault. Or someone who is cruel to people in need. We'll see.

The Malzard pub in Stonyford, Kilkenny, ROI is a real treat. Friendly staff and locals. A 5 generation owned pub, quality. Fantastic selection of Irish Whiskey.

Trump is treating Ukraine the way Chamberlain treated Czechoslovakia. Trying to give parts of it away to appease a dictator. Aren't we meant to learn from History.

Trump says his 25 percent tariffs on all Canadian and Mexican goods will begin next week. Reminder: tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the checkout line.

A set of countries hates us; another is bewildered/dismayed/horrified; a third group is laughing at us; and the last group is working the angles to fleece us by flattering the weak-minded senile dope who occasionally shows up at the White House to sign stuff. NOBODY respects us.

Desperate to stay in Trump’s favour, Farage grovels before extremists, refusing to back Ukraine and selling out Britain in the process. He’s a fool, a traitor, pledging allegiance to a foreign demagogue while pretending to care about sovereignty. Pathetic, spineless, and utterly disgraceful.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

There it is, MAGA. Your deranged, dilapidated dullard Donald trump won't receive ANY prison time, but he's now officially a CONVICTED FELON. He's the ONLY so-called President to enter office as an adjudicated rapist and a convicted felon. Congratulations.

One of the coolest things about publishing a book in Norway is that the gov will automatically buy 1k copies, 1.5K if its a children's book, these will then be distributed to all the libraries.
