The same Conor McGregor who is pally with Putin?

"Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly had one stark warning to share Wednesday: “If the U.S. can do this to us, their closest friend, then nobody is safe.”

I’m trying hard not to accuse America per se but recognise that this is Trump and his administration being driven by Kremlin interference and direct involvement.

I cannot see the American people putting up with this nightmare but I fear it’s not hitting home as it should.

Ukraine is just a part of a bigger picture where Russia is actively interfering with Western politics, business, governments, elections and referendums with the aim of bringing down the West.

With the traditional USA out of the game Russia will move on to eastern Europe. In the meantime China makes it’s move on Taiwan and others in the region; the Trump USA taking Canada, Greenland, Western Europe; the middle east being carved between Russia and Trump USA.

It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better whilst Trump is in power.

Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave.

Is this being reported in the US in the mainstream media?

The possibility of a US coup is becoming more real everyday with the Trump administration.

Any deal with the current US administration isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

“drifting in an authoritarian direction”

Seriously? They’re taking the piss pot and calling the kettle golden orange. Stop sending JD Vance over, stop Musk arse licking the far right AfD twats and stop repeatedly electing an authoritarian orange.

I wondered if Tesla was to disappear it would be because of Chinese EV competition. I never thought it would be because Musk would reveal himself as a right wing fascist knobhead.

So, how are Tesla sales today?

What do you mean “look like”?

After being out lasted by a lettuce, ousted as PM, then kicked out as an MP you’d think she’d get the message that she’s a bit useless.

Would that be the same changes that Liz Truss put forward that nose-dived the bonds market by announcing unplanned tax cuts?

They’re going to agree to carve up Ukraine between themselves to exclude Europe and share the minerals.

I’m amazed at how quickly the US has come close to being on the brink of becoming a rogue state.

Golden showers

This just confirms that Zelenskyy has a way bigger ball count than Trump by two.

This is an interesting read. It wouldn’t surprise me in decades to come it will be accepted knowledge as to how deep and extensive Russia has interfered with British politics and its workings; most notably Brexit, the Tories.

If Putin wants no NATO then all he has to do is get his poodle, Trump, to invade Greenland …

“If they invade Greenland, they invade Nato,” says Svane. “So that’s where it stops. Article 5 would have to be triggered. And if a Nato country invades Nato then there’s no Nato.”

“He’s saying it’s legitimate for us to take this piece of land,” he says. “If we take him really seriously this is a bad omen for the whole of the Western alliance.”

I think the US will be fighting the rest of the world and itself at the same time.

It’s a mixed bag causing two divides.

The first affecting the business with the savings to be had on reduced office space requirements weighed up against perceived lower productivity.

The second, workers enjoying reduced travel costs and convenience but offset the home stops being a home and loneliness.
