www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn.... Once again Trump talks out of his arse. I lost a major chunk of my business due to sanctions on Russia. So that one example alone shows he hasn’t got a clue.

A bit like DK getting us promoted and then demanding half of our net equity on top of the season ticket fee. I hope that’s not given him an idea.

#Ukraine Someone please explain why no country except the USA is benefitting from the minerals deal? Together other countries have put in as much investment to defend Ukraine. Strange? Is this just part of a Russian and USA carve up of the Northern Hemisphere?

Fact-checking Trump claims about war in Ukraine

I think we all know where Trump stands. And it isn’t behind Ukraine or Europe or the U.K. And Trump doing a deal is all about what he and his pals can make out of it - not the parties. With the rate earth proposals we know he doesn’t give a fig about the U.K. or Europe. Sanctions please.

news.sky.com/story/starme.... The US and Russia guaranteed Ukraine’s security when it was persuaded to give up its nuclear arms. That worked well. Frankly I can’t see how we can trust the USA.

They voted to lose their jobs They voted for a laughingstock They voted for corporate welfare They voted to cut Social Security They voted to raise their own taxes They voted to deport their neighbor They voted to defund public schools They voted to lose their food assistance

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

An important point to keep in mind.

#UKCitizens. Look who’s been censoring things in the USA. Vance and Musk have a lot to answer for already.

#UKDEFENCEGBP. #LOTO tries to cover up why the Tories in power failed to pay the full NATO defence contribution. But it wasn’t the whole truth. That truth included duff contracts, fraud based in poor controls, payments to pals etc. I can’t understand why the press just report the lies (lie - I do).

I don’t understand why we are having all these negotiations with proxies in Saudi Arabia in mid-Feb when Trump said he was going to get Putin & Z in a room and have a deal done in 24 hours. It’s almost like he’s a bullshitter?

Well he’s back as Lord Haw Haw. If he’s such a great friend of Putin, let’s send him to Moscow minus thermal underwear.

news.sky.com/story/israel.... Why is the US giving Israel heavy bombs? The US, to my mind, is fuelling the fire in the Middle East.

Trump must just do as Putin says. How else could he do something so stupid?

Bloody hell. They’ve got brain worm.
