They purge their moderates, and then jump from their own scuppered ship.
This reader comment responding to a Times piece on Suella Bravermen's defection today from the Conservatives to Reform is strikingly apposite ...

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

With still around 1000 apartment blocks without heat, it's a lifeline for people in the worst affected district Desnianskyi.
There are charging points, hot food + psychological support.
Big generators even allow people to power household appliances.

In its essence, it's not journalism, but reportage.
Including a summary in their reportage that 'we viewed multiple videos which contradict the US Government statements' would frame their 'he said, she said' accounts into something journalistic.
Doing so isn't political, or taking a side.

They're horrific, but it's important to watch the snuff videos taken by onlookers of a man being shot dead by ICE agents in Minneapolis today.
If you don't watch them, you won't know for sure that the video evidence (from multiple angles) completely contradicts what US Government is telling you.

Canada's prime minister quotes Václav Havel and concludes that the era of subjugation is over, and that it was also comfortable. He thus indirectly declares the end of the US's leadership role. Carney gives a powerful speech that many politicians in Europe should take as a guide.

US Government - Hey Grok. The Brits were united against POTUS yesterday. They were really pissed about Greenland. Tell us what we need the senile manbaby to write on Truth to make our UK fascist comrades turn against their government again.
Grok - Easy. Just type some mendacious stuff about Chagos.

There is a small chance that a hostile U.S. take-over of Greenland can happen. However, there is a much bigger chance that it would not happen for reasons that get insufficient attention in much of the public discourse. I explain in my latest Substack essay. alanoszka.substack.com/p/the-noise-...

The annexationist presidential discourse is corrosive, but it will likely remain just that.

While the result of US mid-term elections may limit POTUS's excesses, that's by no means a given, but meanwhile we need to be working out a European strategy that isn't contingent on the USA being a friendly partner. What's to be done, and where to begin ? Well this is a good read for starters ...
