"And it’s not as if Russia has any track record of clandestine foreign engagement. Next people will be suggesting Russia paid Reform’s former leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, at least £30,000 to make helpful speeches in the European parliament and recruit other MEPs" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Trump saying Ukraine needs a new leader because Zelenskyy “cannot make a deal” is outrageous. Ukraine is sovereign, not Washington’s puppet. Ukrainians decide who leads their country. Russia started this war, and that fact does not change because Trump finds it inconvenient. Get lost. Idiot.

Kellogg turns against Trump. Former US special envoy for Ukraine, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, says Ukraine should continue striking Russian oil refineries. “This is war. They are attacking correctly,” he said, backing Kyiv’s continued campaign against Russian refining infrastructure. #Ukraine

It’s cool, and not incredibly demoralizing, that the last ~25 years (? more?) have been an increasingly flagrant demonstration that The Rules, as we were brought up to understand them, just do not apply to a lot of people

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

A Ukrainian MiG-29 shoots down a Russian Geran-4 attack drone in the skies of Kyiv Oblast with two short bursts from its 30mm GSh-301 autocannon. With only 150 rounds in its magazine, the autocannon can fire for at most 5-6 seconds (maybe 10-15 bursts?). Superb piloting skills.

Restore Britain's Cllr Kieran Mishchuk of Sittingbourne, Sheppey is so determined to see "men on boats" everywhere that he mistook 2 minibuses full of agricultural labourers in an Asda capark for "illegal immigrants"
Last night, I made a post about 2 buses full of
foreign men & women parked in Asda. I have
been reliably informed that these buses are
agricultural workers.


hold my hands up for this genuine mistake
and accusation that wasn't fair. However, I
still don't understand why we need imported
foreign labour when we have plenty of people
from my generation who are unemployed and
would like a job

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.
