When the bloke is currently sh***ing on us ( & others), anything remotely connected with him is an instant rejection.

He says alliances are "built on respect" when the reality is that the man the other side of the pond is "sh***Ing on us.

Quite apart from the obvious narcissistic derangement, a) the Norwegian government does not award the peace prize; and b) there is a written document - the US agreed with Denmark not to pursue territorial claims to Greenland

Good question 🎯 "Mr. Farage, you say you're a new reforming force in politics. How can you claim that if - by your own definition - you're bringing in so many people that cause the mess you're trying to clear up?" Vote for Reform UK and get the very worst of the Tories...

A very valuable & insightful study. National border changes can have big consequences on the ethnic make-up of populations (& cultures) which inhabit these "unique" regions. Much recommended.

Spectacular mountains (a lot of them) are arguably Montenegro’s greatest asset. These peaks- part of the Prokleitje range – border Albania. Their beauty has facilitated this area being designated a National Park.

“ Could—or should—the EU expel Hungary?” This is a highly relevant issue in the context of the ongoing Ukraine/Russia peace talks. @jameskerlindsay.bsky.social provides another valuable session to aid our understanding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFRP...

I think Trump fears the strength & power of the current ( & growing) Russo-Chinese pact; by befriending Putin, perhaps a longer term hope is to drive a wedge between them.

…“markets are starting to doubt whether Mr Trump can govern the US competently or consistently”.. Plenty of evidence to date suggests that is the case.

Action needed on this as well - Report aired this week on Channel 4 news - flea treatments for animals (often available over the counter) found to contain neonicotinoids which are banned in agricultural practices.. This is an alarming report. www.channel4.com/news/scienti...

Scientists warn chemicals in pet flea treatments are killing wildlife
The government says it's time to look again at the sale of pet flea treatments after scientists warned the chemicals in them kill wildlife including songbirds.

Trump can't ignore the Bond market peril. Investors can't make their feelings about his economic shambles any clearer.
