trump had choices on oil. Immediately agree terms with Iran similar to those outlined (Obama) Pressure Russia/aid Ukraine to end the war. Subsidise fuel costs with taxes on wealth and mega-corps or tariff income 😉 Buy from Russia, helping Putin and his war with Ukraine Decisions, decisions.

If Ukraine steps up its attacks on Russian oil facilities, and trump wants to buy Russian oil, doesn't that mean an effective proxy conflict between the US and Ukraine?

So, in today's news, trump sanctions the International Criminal Court and lifts sanctions on Russian oil. Does anyone in MAGA land see the problem?

Bessent asks: where has socialism worked? Hard to say because most places that try it are attacked and sanctioned by the West. Cuba might be doing OK if not blockaded for decades for no good reason.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

An enlightening but deeply disappointing moment when I ventured a couple of opinions, not controversial but you could certainly argue with them. Then found within 5 mins that the 'nice' left-leaning (as am I) bluesky community was as rabid, unreasonable, and abusive as the right-wing a**holes on X.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

How humiliating that, after claiming victory so often, trump is now turning to economics to try and eventually defeat Iran. All he's shown is the limit of military power. Look at conflicts around the world and how they get bogged down. Why is there always an appetite by some for war.

trump's admin takes a stake in 30 companies. Isn't government ownership an element of socialism? In history I was taught that politics is a circle and ultimately extreme right and left policies meet. Maybe that's what we see here.

Spending time in England just now. Can someone explain how illegal immigrants can be such a HUGE drain on welfare if they cannot identify themselves and if they did they'd be swept up for detention and repatriation? Whereas so many 'traditional' UK people I've met are abusing welfare or dodging tax?

Both sides should stop. But, the overwhelming scale of crimes Israel is committing is beyond the pale and unjustifiable. They do so with the explicit support of the US and implicit support of most western countries. So yes, by all means trump should go. But Democrats will not reign in Israel.

Ordinary people are finding it tough. Odd, to me, they embrace billionaires like trump and his rich associates. In the UK it's millionaire Farage. In Australia, they are turning to One Nation, backed by the country's richest person. Why have the working classes turned to the wealthy for help?

So Rubio cites international law as the basis for denying Iran a toll on Hormuz. Yet this administration has frequently violated international law and continues to do so on a daily basis. Is it any wonder countries do not trust or respect the US?

Farage both misrepresented and misunderstood Brexit. Why would anyone think he has the answers now? It was only 10 yrs years ago so I assume those happy to embrace the easy answer of foreigners destroying the UK, rather than UK people themselves, still prefer that narrative.

After ditching Thatcher and a period of stability, the tories' Brexit churn normalised the idea of ditching leaders on a whim rather than at a general election. The UK is virtually ungovernable. Changing leader will not help Labour. The instability will encourage further instability. Brexit bonus..

It would be great if all ceasefires held and no one died. Full stop. But drawing an equivalence between four Israeli soldiers killed on Lebanese sovereign land they were illegally invading and 28 Lebanese (incl children) killed by Israeli strikes on their homes is not quite fair.

It feels strange that humanity dreams of finding life on distant planets while forests here vanish every day. A forest takes decades to grow, to cool the air, protect wildlife, and create peace—yet only moments to destroy. The most important world is the one we already inhabit.

The world spends 55 TIMES MORE on weapons than on saving lives. This is not an accident. This is a choice made by governments. Children in war zones—facing displacement, malnutrition, and violence—should not be paying the consequences of wars they didn’t start.
