Trump has to stop implying that Ukraine started the war. Nor was it the West, Europe or Joe Biden.

He could end the war by simply being tougher with Russia... in particular Putin.

Russia leaves, war ends. Simple.
The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Have they ever left?

Does anybody find it suspicious that whenever Trump starts tanking in the polls there is some kind of threat to his life?

And the media helps spread his messages about the need for security.

I’m beginning to think they are all staged in some way and I’m not generally a conspiracy theorist.

Rachel Reece’s said she is freezing Russian assets, but not Nigel Farage’s.

Whilst she meant it as a joke perhaps she should actually look a bit more closely at his finances. 😉

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day?

Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.

"a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent"
and the US officials who keep saying so are repeating Russian propaganda
NEW: Data on Russian forces’ rate of advance indicates that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent. Russian advances elsewhere on the frontline have been opportunistic and exploited seasonal weather. ⬇️🧵
