Whatâs interesting in UK at mo is that after years of serious political polarisation - Putin is playing a unifying role. All the main parties support Ukraine and want Putin punished for starting the war. I canât think of a time so many Uk politicians agreed with each other.
Itâs time to make Putin pay. Hereâs how đđ§”

I saw this last night itâs now going viral. Itâs v interesting as European leaders are being so careful about their language for obvious diplomatic reasons - but French centre-right Senator, Claude Malhuret, says here what many leaders are probably thinking.
âEurope is at a turning point in history... Washington has become the court of Nero, an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a buffoon on ketamine tasked with purging the civil service.â French senator Claude Malhuret tells it like it is. Video: Public SĂ©nat

Re watching the full Oval Office spectacle tonight, the line from Trump about 34 mins in where he says he spoke to Putin a couple of days ago, and then adds heâs had numerous conversations with him, seems very significant.

âŠWhatâs also interesting about this clip is that at 13â in Vance says âand then Putin invaded Ukraine and then destroyed a significant amount of the countryâ. So he DOES know, and publicly acknowledges, who started this war. (even if he didnât mean to say it?)
The most telling video. Everyone wants a ceasefire, so Zelensky explains what became of the last one. For this, Vance brands him disrespectful. Zelenskyâs crime wasnât disrespect. It was refusing to pay homage, telling the truth, and answering back.
