The transactional description is feeling like it is some way short of reality

Trump says tariffs go up to 50% on Aluminium and Steel from evil Canada, but has not filled out the necessary paperwork meaning it cannot happen.

Hit the bar, getting closer to scoring

Seems better but think that is more because Chelsea were actually quite underwhelming

Daka head injury, he has no brain

Needed a better ball there Bilal

Somebody really needs to Cucarella something to cry about

Yes, this timeline would seem sensible from a Russian perspective, and I agree sowing disharmony amongst potential targets is also a fairly known approach from Putin/Russia. Does suggest that intelligence from western nations needs to massively ramp over the same period, if not sooner, especially if the US will not so readily share.

Curious about the Poland thing if it is indeed the attention to attack Poland, then something must be different in the attempt. As they were unable to dislodge a stubborn Ukraine, unable to save face against a newly Nato’d Finland, so this would either be a more blustering misdirection/attempt or something far less palatable. Thankfully likely the former I would guess.

Looks decent and nothing really wrong with it, just slightly underwhelms ultimately.

This passed me by at the time, but OMG, Balatro is so so good

Speak repeatedly, speak loud, and in this cult of personality what you say barely matters. People hear what they want to hear, Brexit being the perfect example of this process brought to its natural conclusion.

Sounds like this 2% will be canned by the Sénat though. Bog standard tax flight pushback

Nice. No day is ever truly wasted

Some Norway stations have refused to refill US naval units

Big leap to couple growth under Biden with growth under Trump tbh, especially after recent signals and discontent from markets

Agree with plenty of this, except the bit in bold. Who wants to fight Russia? Except Ukraine, as they see been given no choice! There should not be a desire to fight, merely a reluctant willingness to so should further incursions occur. Best case, ceasefire occurs on best possible terms, Europe recognises its military negligence and the US returns to democracy.

Did I just read that the FAA just cancelled a contract in favour of StarLink? No conflict of interest here

Curious that the Baltic states did not get an invite to todays meeting

Making Ukraine concede territory is not the only option here, as this 100% cannot be a concession by the perceived smaller country. There is a known aggressor here and for them not concede something is madness, with exhibit a being Crimea. Yes the possibility of a wider conflict then exits, but it will not be a nuclear conflict as there remains an exit strategy for Russia that allow them to save face.

just tell her to shut up Kier

Turkey seems to be making a strange pivot with regards to Ukraine, or perhaps this is just the latest example of playing both sides to the benefit of Turkey.

Agree that this is the status quo, but we do have right to disapprove.

Summarised in 3 words as “might is right”

So either let Russia have sovereign Ukraine territory to end the or the war just rumbles on?
