There's a second, possibly greater humiliation here fo the Europeans: the White House map refers to what Ukraine would say is 'Russian-held territory' as just 'Russia'? I'd say Starmer couldn't get low enough in the chair when he heard the cameras clicking.

They used to do this with Moscow protests and the great and good squealed like it was heinous.
We massively appreciate the support of what we know are the majority of the public, who can see this farce for what it is. It is distraction from war crimes that the British state support. In our view this police action is designed to try and portray support for kneecap as.

He repeatedly rejected the idea that there would need to be a ceasefire before a truce - so however Macron and Merz might have insisted, its a matter of personal ‘reputation’ to Trump. 3/6.

Trump openly shrugged off (1) the idea that there would NOT be territorial concessions (he brought Zelensky a MAP for which he was thanked for heaven’s sake).2/6.

Some takeaways from a seasoned watcher: (1) Trump & Zelensky are learning diplomacy (2) Trump is still the biggest on (& in) the bloc (3) the EU is barely breathing.1/6.

Heaven forbid that anyone would get the impression that John Mooney of the Sunday Times (Ireland) is a useful idiot and the paper might have a rep for being linked to British 'intelligence' agencies. Hoover's FBI-style McCarthyism in contemporary Ireland.
