The President of the United States of America and leader of the Republican party. This is total nonsense. Yet, he can say nonsense to his supporters and be believed. Tragedy for America.

🇺🇸 A second major U.S. newspaper is now urging #Trump to increase pressure on Russia – this time The Washington Post. Its editorial board says de-escalation requires strength, not concessions, and that every Russian escalation should make Moscow’s position worse.

Opinion | ‘Take it easy’ on Russia? Trump’s words signal weakness.
Only counterpressure, not concessions, will lead Russia to lay off Ukraine and NATO.

Russia threatens NATO countries. NATO countries strengthen their defences.   Russia points to those defences and says: ‘See? NATO is threatening us’.   A remarkably efficient way to turn the consequences of your own behaviour into evidence for your narrative.

Chair Nigel Topping said: “This summer’s extreme weather has brought the impacts of climate change into sharp focus. Every tonne of greenhouse gas emissions makes those impacts worse. That’s why it’s so important the right policies are put in place now to fully address aviation emissions."

The only way expansion could be considered consistent with the UK's carbon budgets and Net Zero is if Government legislate policies that require the aviation industry to fully address its emissions by 2050. This must happen before the development consent order is granted.

Why should aviation get a bigger share of the carbon budget? Other sectors are decarbonising, but aviation is projected to become the UK’s largest emitting sector by 2040. Is this fair?

Is Jet Zero failing? 🛫 The Jet Zero Strategy was meant to keep aviation within our carbon budgets. It's falling short, which means the benchmark that Heathrow expansion could be judged against isn't good enough. Watch @chadceleste.bsky.social explain why 👇

Ch.4 got played by Russia propaganda types today. 4 picked up on a nuclear threat by Putin against Europe, telling the story as a response to non existing European threats against Russian territory. Seems being duped into (falsely) framing an issue by someone is called 'reflexive control.'
