Wow. Not surprising given everything that is going on. But a *huge* drop in favourability views towards the US in Western Europe. Strongest drop in Denmark (-28 percentage points since last poll before US election). Smallest drop in Italy (-6 p.p.)

I think we already knew this.

Trudeau: "Every country is very aware that if the American government is willing to do this to their own closest ally, neighbor, and friend, everyone is vulnerable to a trade war."

Does Zelensky need to give in… www.instagram.com/reel/DGpEzV6...

What a diplomacy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

A baseball cap and a toddler is ok at ‘the highest level’ .

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Until a child shouts that the King is naked.

Will these 6 steps be realistic? www.postalley.org/2025/02/21/h...

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

CORRUPTION: Musk is abusing his position to block investigations into his own corporations⬇️

Macron reacts the Zelensky, Trump and Vance meeting. “You must respect those who fight,” adding that Trump must remember who is the “aggressor and victim.”

Germany's incoming Chancellor Friedrich Merz stands with Zelensky and Ukraine.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to Zelensky: "You are never alone, Dear President"

Alarmed by President Trump's moves, a renowned German violinist, Christian Tetzlaff, canceled an upcoming tour of the United States that would have brought him to Carnegie Hall

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

Admiring his dignity!

It is not Zelensky and Ukraine that should be thanking the West. It is the West that should be thanking Zelensky and Ukraine.

Give us your resources but we won’t safe guard you; give Russia (your) territory where they claim theirs - that’s what he means by ‘peace’.

A true leader.

A minute's silence for each of the children murdered by Israel in Gaza would extend to over 300 hours. Powerful speech to the UN from Daniel Levy, a former Israeli government adviser.

Unthinkable 10 years ago.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

The way we're already pricing in authoritarianism is very, very bad. Trump is using his power as president to openly retaliate against a law firm for representing Jack Smith and it's barely news. The signal this sends is chilling to anyone who would oppose him. What else will he do to his opponents?

All those billions and Jeff Bezos still can't afford dignity

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Trump’s US Making money out of Ukraine. Shameless. "We've been able to make a deal where we're going to get our money back, and we're going to get a lot of money in the future," Trump says. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

Rep Tom Suozzi: “Very simple. Putin is a dictator. Zelenskyy is not.” What’s so hard to understand about that?

Is the legacy media going to do anything? Or is this it?

Dictatorship deepening. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/b...

Hmmm... what do we just say we call it what it is: "The Russian States of America"? @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/o...

I think the clearest thing you can say about Dan Bongino is that he makes Kash Patel look moderately well qualified.

This does rapidly minimise the space for any UK bridgebuilding exercises with the US from tomorrow. Will be interesting how this now further evolves.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

How can this be the reason to fire? “Pete Hegseth had previously said that Gen Brown should be fired because of his "woke" focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programmes in the military.” Trump fires top US general CQ Brown in shake-up at Pentagon www.bbc.com/news/article...

Half of the American population does not support the current policies under Musk and Trump. I believe that the resilience of the people such as this and grassroots-level resistance will pave the way for a more democratic future in the US. www.newsweek.com/nationwide-e...

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.
