Reading for the current Cabinet. The UK Rearmament between 1934 and 1939 was a jerky process that moved from constrained fiscal straight jackets from the Treasury, accelerations in response to events and then complacency and appeasement. www.geostrategy.org.uk/britains-wor... #UKPolitics

It would not come as a surprise for there to be categorical proof that Trump was a GRU agent. But we already know that he's a corrupt gangster both enabling and enriching himself on money laundering, vice and bribery and corruption.

On the list of stories that need to be film scripts and therefore films (as well as virtually anything written by CJ Cherryh), include @nameshiv.bsky.social 's epic of Rice Delivery. If anyone has suggestions for stories/books/online events, etc either add them here or use #FilmScriptWorthy

The cry that only with the security guarantee of the USA is Europe safe is pointless. There hasn't been an actual guarantee since Bosnia. When the USA gave up the perpetual stewardship of NATO it signalled the end. Institute a replacement Org with every member except the USA. #USPolitics #NATO

I love Trump's idea that Zelenskyy, who has spent three years leading his country in a war of survival, is going to be intimidated by an orange foundation-wearing real estate developer. It would be cute if it wasn't so pathetic.

The conversation about how Starmer should talk with Trump, and by extension Macron as he's also going next week though you wouldn't know it from UK media, is all about Softly, Softly, ignore the aberration. But Trump is a coward. He only respects strength. Say the word sanctions. #USPolitics

I have several pleasurable responses to Slough House books and TV. The specific individual ones are because for a while I worked out of Central House next to the Barbican and just up the road from where the Tube Station, Italian restaurant are. /1 @helenkennedy.bsky.social

The problem is not Trump alone, it's not the people who voted for him or even those that have capitulated without considering to his every whim. It's the others; the planners, the whisperers, the believers and generators of lies and deception. And once Trump has gone, they'll remain. #USPolitics
