You have to admire the LA Latinas for standing up to the orange lunatic. No wonder they are the largest recruitment pool for the US Marines. A fact his scummy henchmen fail to mention.

Really stupid comment by Rutte about Europeans needing to learn Russian if they don’t hike defence spending. Facile and glib.

🚨🚨 @bbcnews-uk-rss.bsky.social going down the 🪠🪠 Fascinating as an external observer how much #ukpolitics and UK media seems to be governed by and largely obsessed with #nigelfarage and #reform. Tips from the coach to UK political leaders; focus on your own policies & achievements, not Farage.

Watching nearly every political party in the UK chase the same 20% of the worst people in the country, ignoring the other 80%, just to please the papers. Nothing will change in the UK until the papers are taken in hand. Not all the media, just the papers. The rest will flow from there.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Wrong. We need a party which speaks for the educated middle class majority rather than thugs and taxi drivers.

Netanyahu has created his own private militia of drug gangs and jihadists in order to make Gaza ungovernable, to perpetuate war, and to save his own rotten skin.

It’s in Europe’s interest to put sanctions on Israel (and on any ‘charities’ supporting illegal settlements.

🔥 FT calls for sanctions on Israel. “The Bank of Israel invests about a quarter of its relatively large stock of reserves in Europe, which a freeze would make unavailable for their financial stabilisation function and could in time be put towards any compensation due to Palestinians.”

What, the, hell. These guys are kitted out like they're ready to re-enact Neptune Spear. Buckets have NVG brackets with armatures, Peltor Comtacs, bro closer to the camera has a strobe up top, dude in back has a suppressed subgun with plenty of rail furniture. This is horseshit.

This guy is not a propagandist. He is a politically savvy military operator, but he does not earn his living spouting vitriol on TV. His statement about Russia taking Eastern Europe is delivered dispassionately as if stating a self-evident fact. Now he is the commander of Russia's ground forces.
