In August last year, a group of Iranian nuclear scientists flew to Moscow, ostensibly as consultants. It was a cover story. The Iranians were traveling on diplomatic service passports, some sequentially numbered and issued on the same day just weeks before the trip took place.

Action, not just words. Britain stands with Ukraine, today and always 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Zelensky asks Vance if he has been to Ukraine. Vance answers I have been to… then realises it is dumb to say he has been to Germany so says he has seen stories on twitter. Feeling humiliated - by his own ignorance - he lashes out at Zelensky

Zelensky: "Have you ever been to Ukraine?" Vance: "No, but I've seen some videos." This is what we're dealing with, folks.

After bullying & expelling international war hero Volodymyr Zelenskyy from the White House, Trump returns to Mar-a-Lago, where he’ll play some golf & wine/dine with fellow rapist and child sex trafficker, Andrew Tate. Motherfucker can rot in hell.

Look forward to seeing Vance shout at Netanyahu that he has to be grateful and stop begging for money

Like, can you imagine being the vice president of the United States, sitting in the Oval Office haranguing the president of another country about things you plainly don’t understand, and when he asks you if you’ve ever even been to his country, you say “I’ve watched stories.”

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

To be clear: this entire thing went off the rails because Zelensky made the catastrophically offensive move of pointing out the reality that Putin broke a ceasefire in 2015 and that when Vance talks about diplomacy, he can’t explain how Putin is a trustworthy partner. Zelensky

Three days into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as Putin’s soldiers were razing cities, raping and executing Ukrainians, Gabbard — who was just tapped by Trump to be director of national intelligence — called on Zelensky to “embrace the spirit of aloha.”

Legitimately one of the funniest memes that's come out of this election

Thinking about Moo Deng

This is the most outrageous story about repression in Putin’s Russia. Everyone needs to know the story of Pavel Kushner. RIP

Anyone who has any information about the disorder today at the Holiday Inn, Manvers and in the wider area, please report it by contacting SYP on 101, quoting ‘incident number 239’ of 4 August 2024. Those responsible will be identified and pursued by the force of the law

RT @maxseddon: The children of Anna and Artem Dultsev, the Russian deep cover spies returned home as part of the prisoner exchange, didn’t…

Never even liked tennis anyway.

Imagine the media treatment of Kamala if she had five children by three different men. Then add in having sex with a porn star.

This is one of the worst Commons performances I have ever seen: Badenoch dripping with condescension towards a working-class woman who dared to have ambition. Badenoch has neither warmth nor charisma. If this is the best her party can do, their oblivion will be richly deserved

The sentencing of @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich is despicable and only serves to underscore Russia’s utter contempt for media freedom. Journalism should not be a crime. Gershkovich must be released immediately.

A court in Russia has sentenced Evan Gershkovich, the WSJ reporter arrested last year on absurd espionage charges, to 16 years in high-security prison. Russia rushed through the trial and didn't bother presenting public evidence. It may be a prelude to an exchange. Free Evan!
