This was a good listen ahead of tomorrow’s summit in London.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Easy to miss this sort of news because of what happened in the Oval Office today, but the US is also unilaterally disarming vs Russia in cyberspace. I’m sure that Putin will reciprocate…

Am I getting the wrong impression, or is right that on domestic side there is a clear plan to redirect and take control of the instruments of the state, and on foreign policy side it’s like “we have a radio station?!”

"Trump and Vance have revealed to Americans and to America’s allies their alignment with Russia, and their animosity toward Ukraine in general and its president in particular...The national-security system of the West is led by 2 men...who deeply sympathize with the world’s most aggressive dictator"

This has to be right. Starmer's summit on Sunday has become a potentially decisive moment. If Europeans don't throw their weight behind Ukraine and behind a massive and immediate increase in their defence efforts (& damn the deficits), Europe will find itself at the mercy of Putin & Trump.

This last question is really critical - we know it will take time for Europe to ramp up supplies - what is available to buy in the meantime from elswhere?

The reason Vance and Trump can't stand Zelensky is he has leverage over them - they need him for the deal they want - and they cannot cope with that.

No-one could imagine Trump speaking to Putin like that. Which is one of the reasons that just happened.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

This is 100% right. America is now willingly aligned with Russia. Until it removes Trump, Vance and Musk that is its choice.

The full exchange between Trump, Zelenskiy and Vance is like nothing I've ever seen before. For that to happen at all is shocking. For it to happen in front of the cameras leaves every diplomatic norm in shreds. Starmer's meeting yesterday might as well have come from another century
