Notable how the UK under Starmer sometimes, if you squint & mainline some hopium, can look briefly advantaged by being unhitched to the EU but then reality/Trump bites & you realise that Brexit, always an act of unutterable stupidity, has made an already awful situation immeasurably worse for us.

Why do media organisations allow this man airtime to spread around misinformation, especially when there is so much being floated around by various people with ulterior motives. We need to limit people like him, he peddles in lies and fake news. Stop feeding the trolls.

Tomorrow marks the 3rd anniversary of Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. His forces bombed cities like Mariupol into rubble. Raped, tortured & murdered civilians. Targeted maternity & children's hospitals. I took this photo of one the mass graves - it contained 445 bodies in Izium (1/2)

The origin of the obsession matters. From Giuliani to Musk, the Trump circle is obsessed with slandering and attacking Ukraine. Why? And instead of making a real case for abandoning it to Russia, it’s just one bullshit Kremlin propaganda tale after another.

Russian nationalist blogger Roman Antonovsky thinks Russia "should by no means commit any crimes against civilians". Instead, he suggests Russia focus on "sabotage operations" in the West. He seems to have missed the memo that Russia has been doing both of these things for years.
