'If It Walks Like A Duck': Former Tory Minister Defends Claim Trump Could Be 'Russian Asset' Graham Stuart said "it's hard not to have it as a possibility" given the US president's attitude towards Ukraine www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/if-it-...

They have never been interested in a ceasefire. They are interested in destroying Ukraine

“The alignment between Trump & Russia & UK Brexiteers has always been in plain sight. It’s simply now unignorable.” Carole Cadwalladr

Unsurprisingly, these are the exact type of lies that Russia used to invade Ukraine in the first place.

🇺🇸📉 Today was the worst market day since 2022, with the S&P 500 losing $4.5 trillion in market value since February 20. ⏬ Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market has fallen $1.3 trillion in the past three months.

True facts.

Senator Kelly responds to Elon Musk

FFS!!

Trump has declared that the US will not resume military aid to Ukraine unless Zelenskyy steps down. This comes after Trump cut supplies and intelligence to Ukraine air defences and frontline troopers in an effort to aid Russia. Countless Ukrainians have been killed as a result. #StandWithUkraine

"Russia’s long-range strikes, by cruise missiles that are among the most costly weapons in its nonnuclear arsenal, are aimed using satellite imagery provided by U.S. companies"

Il pusillanime Salvini e la sua banda di delinquenti, non stanno facendo altro, in ogni frase, ogni dichiarazione, ogni post sui socials, che cercare di attrarre l’attenzione di Musk per ottenere i suoi finanziamenti (visto che dalla Russia probabilmente non arrivano più).

You can’t really understand what Musk is doing until you read this: Musk, Thiel, Vance, Sacks, Anton, Andreessen, Srinivasan, and the DOGE boys are all followers of this guy’s political philosophy www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Musk told the Polish FM, a long-standing conservative ally of the US, "be quiet small man". What I find so fascinating about Trump, Vance and Musk's verbal abuse of Ukrainians & Polish officials etc, is: can you imagine them speaking like this to a Russian or Chinese official?

“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938

JD Vance best watch this vid ‘cuz yesterday he bitched that his 3-yr-old was scared by a group of protesters shouting “Slava Ukraini.” The hypocrisy is staggering: This girl lost her leg in a Russian attack & is a symbol of the unyielding strength of the Ukrainian people who are fighting pure evil.

This is good

Any country, corp, org, or individual that uses Starlink is subject to the whims, wishes, demands and insults of The Owner. Do so at your peril.

JD Vance never once condemned Putin by name for indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets that murders children daily in Ukraine. But he’s irate at a couple grandmothers complaining to him about it.

Mexico has a Nobel Prize winning President. USA has a convicted felon as a President.

There is increasing fear in Germany that F-35 jets purchased for the German army can be "turned off" remotely by Washington. This fear is shared by defense and security specialists.

"Russia’s long-range strikes, by cruise missiles that are among the most costly weapons in its nonnuclear arsenal, are aimed using satellite imagery provided by U.S. companies"

This is good: the US right’s values are closer to those of China and Russia than to Europe’s www.ft.com/content/3046...

Just a reminder

"The United States government took some dramatic steps this week to help Russia and weaken Ukraine—the intended result of which will be more Ukrainian deaths, fewer Russian losses, and the undermining of Ukrainian democracy" from @phillipspobrien.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

WOW! The Economist’s cover: “Donald Trump’s economic delusions are already hurting America."

It’s too bad we have no defenses whatsoever against this. It’s a real mystery why society has no strategies for dealing with—or even words to describe—chronic liars, career con-artists, frauds, grifters, humbugs, mountebanks, flim-flammers, and gombeen men. One of the deepest puzzles of social life.

Trump capitulation to Russia

🇺🇸 Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton: Trump's threats of sanctions against Russia are empty. He’s merely trying to appear "balanced" between Ukraine and Russia. edition.cnn.com/2025/03/07/w...

Congratulations to the senior Tories who, having been told this for a mere 60 years, and staunchly denied it throughout, have finally twigged that it might not be a brilliant idea to have a nuclear deterrent which can be switched off by another state. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Here lies a monumental chance for European universities: recruit the best & brightest academics in America, axed by Musk - now! www.ft.com/content/64ad...

Stalin blamed the kulaks for their own starvation. Anyone who blames Zelensky for Trump's decision to cut arms and intelligence has succumbed to the same logic.
