Thank you! 🇮🇪🇺🇦

Nothing to see here…just Jeffrey Epstein saying in 2018 that Trump is like a rat who, if cornered, would start a war in the Middle East—maybe in Iran—to distract attention from his misbehavior.

Because he’s psychotic that way.

No wonder they had him killed. Epstein fully had Trump’s number.

Beginning to wonder if Trump will decide to do a smo on Britain and try to effect a regime change. At this point nothing would shock me. I personally think Starmer has had a dreadful run of luck since he was elected. I honestly can't see any party or PM being able to do anything better with circs.

🇺🇦‼️ Budanov was preparing for a major war in advance, — The Guardian

Despite the doubts of many politicians, intelligence recorded the expansion of the Russian agent network and prepared countermeasures. A small group of GUR officers began quiet contingency planning.

They are learning to counter missiles, different types of drones, including fiber-optic drones, from FPV to long-range drones.

The King's brother was arrested in England over his Epstein ties. You know what that means...

The odds of Trump attacking Iran this weekend just went up substantially.

In England, they arrested a former prince for being in the Epstein files, while here in America, a president who was in the Epstein files a million times, including for punching a 13-year-old in the face for biting his penis, wants his face to be on Mount Rushmore and have an airport named after him

England just arrested THE KING'S BROTHER for his involvement with Epstein.

Let that sink in over here in the colonies where America's orange king and Epstein bestie walks free.

About time our athletes boycotted the #Olympics
If every country did that it might concentrate the committees mind on the morality of allowing an invading country who're engaged in countless war crimes from competing against the civilised world.

Maybe #Ukraine should tell #Trump to get to the table fast when he's actually got something to offer.

FUCK THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE.
Athletes from other nations could support humanity and also honor Ukrainian Olympians murdered by the Russians.
I'd like to see the IOC disqualify hundreds of athletes from dozens of nations.

I post a lot about the #Ukraine / #Russia war and the #Maga cult in the US, because they are huge global political events with ramifications for the world.

But I am also a British #Rejoiner.
I want the rights and freedoms #Brexit stole from me back.
And I will never stop saying we should #RejoinEU

And rightly so.

Win the war first. Get the orcs out of the country.

Then have elections.

The will of the rich and powerful: Brexit and the Epstein files The Epstein files reveal the role of Brexit in a global network which stands to gain from undermining democracy itself

The Epstein files show that Brexit was never a “plucky British revolt”. In reality, Brexit was fed, and empowered, by an entire class of oligarchs and autocrats, who thrive on chaos, weak regulation and brittle institutions.

Never forget Epstein’s little helpers – the powerful men who knew about his crimes, and helped him out anyway | Marina Hyde I’m sorry, but this is not just a political scandal. Time to refocus on the horrific mistreatment of women and girls, and the role of these ghouls, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

I dread to think of the treatment they've recieved whilst in captivity. The only worthwhile achievement of the 'peace talks' are these exchanges. I donate as often as I can to #CarsforUkraine and would urge others to if they're able.

If the Epstein files are this vile and incriminating already, just imagine all the stuff they’re still hiding.
