Two weeks ago, the use of the word ‘alignment’ by *critics* of the Kremlin felt bold…

Associated Press article reporting that a Kremlin spokesman has described the foreign policy alignment of Russia & the USA.

4. Remember: THEY DON'T CARE. They don't give a damn about other people's rights or lives. It's just about power and control. European unity (UK included) is essential. Ukraine is just the beginning. If we don't hold the line there, Russian/US aggression will only spread.

3. If the result of US colonial diplomacy (and appeasement by some Europeans - see Question Time this week for a classic example) is that Russia feels emboldened to expand its territorial aggression, so much the better. It'll sow chaos in Europe. Trump loves chaos because it weakens his rivals.

2. Yes, it's partly that they admire Putin, the iron dictator Trump would like to be. But it's much more important that Russia is useful weapon, whose own economic weakness means it poses no threat to US dominance.

1. Trump and his Death Eaters cannot tolerate any rival power. Europe, when united, is a major trading and diplomatic bloc. They see Russia (much less of a threat to US hegemony) as an excellent instrument for breaking up Europe, by threat or by force.🧵

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

High energy prices predicted to be 'the new normal'. Because govts don't curb profiteering. Govts can cap price, levy windfall taxes to boost the public purse, end subsidies for energy corporations, end privatisation. Govts are impotent by choice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

High gas and electricity prices likely to be the new normal, analyst says

The energy price cap is predicted to edge up by 1% from January, according to analysis by Cornwall Insight.
