Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Trump’s framing of these talks is so wrong. 1) Why does Russia have any right to any sovereign Ukrainian territory? 2) Why’s the US “mediating”? Have both parties asked it to? 3) How can the US be a mediator when it’s seeking its own material gain from at least one party? 4) Why exclude Europe?

1. Trump and his Death Eaters cannot tolerate any rival power. Europe, when united, is a major trading and diplomatic bloc. They see Russia (much less of a threat to US hegemony) as an excellent instrument for breaking up Europe, by threat or by force.🧵

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Fun fact - the "roman salute" is a myth. There is no mention anywhere in Roman literature or iconography of such actions. We think otherwise because of films and 19th-century art ... oh yes and the Italian fascists and Nazis who pretended it was a thing. One might even call it "Fake history".

Brexit was always inherently a bad idea. But several factors that could not have been fully predicted before the 2016 referendum made it a bigger disaster: - Election of Donald Trump x2 - Pandemic - Russia's war on Ukraine All 3 made European unity more important, and our status as outsider worse.
