This is a masterpiece with so many layers. 1. Complete lack of responsibility, obviously. 2. STILL somehow manages to sanewash blatant racism as "issues raised" 3. Pivots immediately to, "but what does this mean for Farage?" lobby horserace bullshit.

Is this surprising? It's how and why bullying works. I will be extremely disappointed if: 1. Zelensky gives in to the US on this; 2. The EU doesn't offer Ukraine a much better and much more just deal, without the threats.

To be fair - we should probably put NATO into administration and drive Europe to fill the defence space... ...a complete reversal of the previous dynamic, I am fully aware, but actually a huge opportunity for Europe (manufacturing, R&D, hard power, cybersecurity, procurement cohesion, etc, etc).

It’s simple really: if X wants to operate within EU jurisdiction, it will have to comply with EU rules. If it doesn’t like the rules, it should leave.

💯 “(Trump) parades as a strongman but in fact is weak, weak, weak. His capitulation to Putin over Ukraine reveals a pattern. He’s the patsy: giving everything away, getting little in return”

The surveys for tomorrow's German election seem rather stable - the main issue seems this one: can CDU+SPD govern in a coalition of two or does it take CDU+SPD+Greens. This depends on how many of the three smaller parties Linke, FDP, BSW will enter Parliament (it takes 5% to do so)

I want to tell you a story. In 2015, I was in the small Lithuanian city of Panevežys, standing with the locals, watching a military parade. But this was no ordinary parade, because marching alongside the Lithuanian troops were our American allies.🧵1/17

Yes, this is definitely the first case in human history that a nation bleeding out under attack has a knife by its throat from yesterday’s biggest friend in need that went bonkers and switched to Al Capone-style racketeering amid war.

As the world fixates on U.S. President Donald Trump and his alignment with Moscow’s narrative, a desperate struggle to stabilize the Donetsk Oblast front line continues. The Kyiv Independent spent two weeks on the front line speaking to infantry and artillery commanders, medics, and drone pilots.

There are many disturbing clips from Musk's CPAC event. But the DUMBEST thing he said is actually this. He demeans Ukrainians' sacrifice because "the line of enagagement hasn't moved". This 'genius' doesn't even get what a heroic feat it is to HOLD THE LINE against the immense Russian war machine.

There’s some mad thinking going on among UK conservative figures right now. They’re cherry-picking the parts of the Trump agenda that they really, really like - the racism, the misogyny, the anti-trans stuff, the breaking the state so it can’t operate and calling it a return to democracy. 1/2
