www.tickaroo.com/e/FKcG7dUtMx... German MP: "Transatlantic relations are over“…Trump’s statements on Ukraine are “pure Putin-speak”, echoing long-term Russian propaganda campaigns. That they are being spread by the US government, so Roth, is a “worst-case disaster.”

There really are no words for the contempt Trump has for Ukraine. He's a morally bankrupt shell of humanity. ##SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 BBC News - 'You could have made a deal': Trump blames Ukraine after US-Russia talks www.bbc.com/news/article...

Euractiv reports that Commission top brass recently held crisis talks on Trump’s new trade war in a ‘secure room’ – an isolated faraday cage that no phone signals can penetrate.

4-5 March 2025, EU ministers for telecommunication will meet in Warsaw, Poland, for an informal meeting. The meeting will be chaired by Krzysztof Gawkowski, deputy prime minister and minister of digital affairs

Prior to Brexit, the earnings of UK shares were in line with those in other trading centres. Today UK shares trade 40% behind US shares and, on average, 20% behind the rest of the world Brexit as “a done deal”. I would say that it is either gross stupidity or political cowardice to take that line
