Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

US has come a long way since days of genocide, slavery, racial segregation. Trump delivering: sackings of judges, military commanders, public servants; opposition to diversity/equality; censorship of books, scholarly journals, silencing of journalists. Won't have a happy ending. What will UK do?

This is beyond fucking despicable. Threatening to shut off Starlink to Ukraine, a raped pillaged country (invaded by a dictator that this headcase and his bitch president refuses to condemn) unless they give up their natural resources is the most grim act of coercion I’ve seen.

when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

So Starmer is doing a deal with the EU to align with food standards, climate targets and accepting ECJ rulings. He has also agreed to a scheme for 18 - 30 year olds to be able to go live and work in EU countries. I keep telling you, this is how it will happen. Trust in the process

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

“The postwar era is over. The global architecture built in 1945 is being burned to ground by Trump. Europeans need to plan for, & invest in, a future where they have to defend themselves without the US.That future does not loom in the distance. It is already here” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

President Donald Trump and his defence secretary Pete Hegseth have both claimed the US has provided Ukraine with more than $300 billion in support. But it’s not clear what that’s based on. We’ve delved into the numbers 🔍

Despite Farage's supposed recent "U-turns" in the name of political expediency, he is still at CPAC cheering on Nazis performing Sieg Heils. Everyone should be clear that Nigel Farage is complicit with Russia, Trump in the attempted destruction of Europe. #UKPolitics #Europe #Ukraine #USPolitics

Something that would be fairly useful to me would be a kind of US media wrap-up giving me an indication of where the debate is at the moment ie how does Ukraine stuff go down with Joe Rogan, is there outrage on CNN? That kind of thing.
