Why Trump is going for Zelenskyy’s jugular

No matter how much America’s allies urge the president to back Ukraine, he cannot forgive its leader for showing up his dealmaking impotence

🇺🇸 Trump's apparent strategy now is to help Ukraine hit targets in Russia, at least with intelligence, while not stopping Russian strikes on Ukraine – hoping heavier losses push both sides toward a deal. The problem is that that logic is unlikely to work.

In my 20s I asked a mate how will I know if a girl I'm dating is the one to marry. He said I should meet her friends, that if I can't bear them then she's not the one. Took me 15 years to realise he was paraphrasing Spice Girls' Wannabe as life advice.

Not exactly scientific, but every liberal I know went to the polls reluctantly, irritably, and without hope. So it's not exactly surprising to me that differential turnout favours Reform.

I keep saying it, but the Tories are headed for UUPification. They won’t die altogether, but—absent a Reform collapse—they’ll persist as a centre-right rump that returns only a handful of seats.

At this point, Starmer's biggest use to Labour is probably being the one in charge when the global economy officially melts down, so the replacement can (potentially) be the face of the recovery.

Many think Ru may attack NATO after recovering post-ceasefire in Ukr. I disagree. For Ru, an attack on NATO may seem a path to victory in Ukr. Ru’d aim to destroy NATO by showing the countries further away would rush to compromise at the expense of Ukr and the newly attacked to avoid a bigger war.

It is absolutely clear that the US blockade of Hormuz is targeted at Europe and Asia rather than Iran. Basically they are trying to leverage us into cleaning up their mess. And this will then suck us in for good.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.
