The two party system is the underlying cause of many of the problems in US governance.

Thats go away money.

Because Mandelson was one of the Epstein Class and Starmer or Starmer's advisors thought that this would mean that Trump would have to be nice to him and the UK.

Sounds like Trump is now admitting his Iran war has been a failure.

I think Netanyahu will have something to say about that.

Someone. Ollie North is still around.

But Trump would surely sell anything if they paid.

Paid Trump himself, of course.

I just didn't see that move as being in character for Musk.

Then i look forward to a considerable drop in Shaheed attacks. This will be good for Ukraine , especially if the Starlink situation continues.
Musk has been quiet recently.

Russia can make most of the drones themselves now. The big boost for Putin is the rise in the price of oil and the fact that Ukraine will likely get few, if any, Patriots to defend against his ballistic missiles in the future.

Trump cannot end the war until Putin and Netanyahu tell him to.

And neither want this war to stop.

The only thing that Trump has done consistently has been to boost or otherwise protect Putin.

Epstein had two key aides - so why do they still control his money and secrets? Richard Kahn and Darren Indyke administer Epstein’s estate - court filings allege complicity in his crimes.

Jeffrey Epstein had two key aides - why do they still control his money and secrets?

One “disappeared“ the contents of a safe but later said he handed it over to the FBI

But they’ve now been called to give evidence to the congressional committee

Yes, but it's surely counting down now.

And I guess many there have scores to settle with him.

He was only allowed to work a certain number of days but apparently travelled to work in Noems car so he was never checked so his work days were not counted.
That facility ended with Noem.

The way some Democrats behave is really weird. That party needs some discipline.

That interesting. Tho 25 vehicles is a fleet and you should expect a very good deal for that.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Ukraine's cards are:
-> a combat-hardened military with experience in modern warfare,
-> battle-tested and constantly upgraded technology,
-> a resilient society that has just survived the hardest winter of this war.

That's more cards than most countries around the world have.

Why Russia cannot help but invade The planned Trump-Putin summit in Budapest has been shelved. The White House says there's no point meeting unless "we're going to make a deal." Some view this as a setback for diplomacy, but it may we...

Tomorrow marks one year since Ukraine accepted the unconditional ceasefire proposed by the Trump administration.

For 365 days since, russia has rejected even a halt to hostilities and chosen WAR. Every. Single. Day.

Too many push ups?

Because they are not your assets, they are already russian assets.

Scot free and the huge advantage the russian regime has is that they don't care for human life.
No democracy could tolerate even a fraction of the casualties they are takling nor get away with meat assault attacks.

I agree that russia will continue to be agressive unless it is actually defeated by Ukraine. But I dont think they will send tanks over the border into Poland. They will attack by fomenting internal problems in Poland, supporting extremists of all kinds etc. Look what they have done in the US...

Everything Orban does in the next month is purely to ensure he gets re-elected.
He would love pushback now so he can spin himself as the defender of Hungary.

There is no point in having a nuke unless people think you can use it.

When the US involvement ends depends on what Putin and Netanyahu want.

And neither are in a hurry to end it.

It should a massive wakeup call that Ukraine is outproducing the entire EU when it comes to cruise missiles.

Europe currently holds a fraction of the long-range arsenal required for real deterrence.

The potential is there. We just need to truly step up and build

It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

But there is no reason not to go to lowest price tender when buying autos when you can specify what you want.

Though they could also draft the conditions so tight that only one guy complies (eg chevy with a service centre in city X).

It doesn't matter if they get good drones or not.

They will get the contract, a big fat contract.

That's corruption.

Bottom line is that, for whatever reason, Trump is scared of Putin.
Real scared.
