Hugely important decision that essentially saves Ukraine from having to accept a bad deal through running out of money.
Eurobonds becoming the emergency funding mechanism of choice. Note too that this was (de facto?) enhanced co-operation.

Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

I also have been assuming that the primary purpose of this conflict is domestic
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Kemi Badenoch & shadow home office minister Katie Lam have been accused of weaponising violence against women.
Tory leader said focus should be on “people, who come from cultures that don’t respect women, coming into our country”. Lam used speech to ask if immigration was exacerbating the problem.
