... why isn't Alex Jones bankrupt and begging on the street for the money he has to give to the relatives of Sandy Hook victims yet?

Can't see it filling the gap that is needed in any way near a satisfactory fashion, but that appears to be the path being taken.

Wonder what levels of tariffs constitutes a deal ??

the 145% doesn’t kick in on imports arriving USA till 25th may.  Hence pretty sure that they’d come to some kind of deal before then. 

the ‘deal’ is a 90 day moratorium with the hiked tariffs cut by 115% back to close to where they were at the outset!

And will it just be a lot of hot air with not much of this being put in place ?

Most likely, yes.

Destroying the civilisational future of our species to "own the libs" (including that rather mythical ideal of "Western civilisation" that they like to go on about).

In danger of being called a Russian shill but does anyone find this “negotiations can happen unless there’s a ceasefire” line a bit daft or completely unrealistic?

I guess it saves going into talks with a power that has no interest in ending the war?

Hence why you might as well do it in the first place? Make them look silly, make them look like the problem.

It's really hard to make Russia look silly as they are so brazen in their lies. Similar to trump in many ways. Russia and the rest of the world know full well they are the aggressor and their excuses are made up gibberish, but they will pass off lies to sow discourse anyway.

 

Zelensky has to go along with the charade to try and keep trump onside, knowing that Russia doesn't want peace at all.

 

This negotiation stuff just seems like a sham to me.

I think Russia would want peace but their demands are completely unreasonable, yet there’s no realistic way aside from outside intervention (which would be risky) to make it happen.

They want peace on their terms certainly. Unfortunately, it would involve handing over large parts of the country and the installation of a puppet leader in a similar vein to Belarus.

 

As the above won't happen, I reckon they need the war to prop up their economy so will keep it going for as long as they can.

 

Incidentally, its hard to imagine Putin being brave enough to leave his palace in Russia. If he is pictured there, I guess it will be a double with actual negotiations done through intermediaries. 

 

I also can't imagine Zelensky wanting to sit in the same room as a Russian politician as the chances of him getting a fatal disease within days would be too high.

Following Starmers lurch to the right, does the left exist in a vote winning capacity anymore?

Starmer is a career politician.  He will lie and deceive to win votes

Talks are off now anyway.

 

Zelensky expecting to talk to Putin is just political theatre apparently.

He doesn’t mention it often, maybe only every other sentence, but he did have a successful career as a prosecutor before turning to politics. If only he’d clarify what role he held, I’m not sure he’s mentioned it?

 

His dad was a toolmaker as well, he should mention that every now and then :ph34r:

Where have you seen that? It seems like something will be going ahead on Thursday. Both sides have been in touch with Türkiye.

A top general who failed to report evidence of alleged SAS war crimes in Afghanistan later oversaw the rejection of hundreds of UK resettlement applications from Afghan commandos who served with the elite regiment, BBC Panorama can reveal.

Gen Sir Gwyn Jenkins led UK Special Forces (UKSF) in Afghanistan at a time when alleged war crimes were committed. He later appointed a UKSF officer under his command, who had also served in Afghanistan, to assess the Afghan commando applications after special forces headquarters was given a controversial veto over them.

Thousands of applications from individuals with credible evidence of service with Afghan Special Forces, including the units known as the Triples, were then rejected, leaving many of the former commandos at the mercy of the Taliban.

The rejections are controversial because they came at a time when a judge-led public inquiry in the UK had begun investigating the SAS for alleged war crimes on operations on which the Triples were present.

If the Afghan commandos were in the UK, they could be called as witnesses - but the inquiry has no power to compel testimony from foreign nationals who are overseas.

Some of those denied visas were subsequently tortured and killed by the Taliban, according to former colleagues, family members and lawyers.

 

Not exactly cricket from the UK military establishment, that.

Quotes Russian state media.

 

It does look like some talks will take place but that Putin won't be involved.

 

 

One on one Putin v Zelenskyy is pointless and it wouldn’t get anywhere. That’s not how negotiations work, there is an element of theatre in it all. They’d likely only meet once a peace deal has been signed. Ukraine need to get their strongest team together led by Yermak and see who Russia put forward, based on that you’ll soon know if they’re serious or not. If Ushakov (Putin’s right hand man) rocks up then these will be serious talks.
