A lot of people are in denial about Karoline Leavitt… the downside being she shares the same views and trump but you can’t  deny she’s got some cracking hooters. It’s a dilemma every time I see her addressing the media

Russia won’t roll through Ukraine obviously, but they’ll likely get the Donbass though at an outrageous cost. Certainly not in a fit state to take on nato even if they wanted to. 

To be fair, whoever gets the Donbass gets a bombed out strip of land that's good for nothing until a few billion is spent on it. Kind of a white elephant.

3 days a week but I am a Director. Trainees in 5 days a week, flex if they need to be at home (child sickness, dog ill, whatever) then experienced members have more flexibility. 

I think this works as long as your experienced workers know that they have a role to play in training the trainees - even those who are not directly managing them.  I'm tending to be in 4 days now if not 5, because as a leader part of our role is to be seen, even though when I am not travelling I could easily manage on 3 days in the office.

Trump needs to pick a bloody side and draw a line in the sand.

 

He’s only looking after self interest unfortunately. 
 

I sort of wish he’d keep out of it and keep his orange coloured and shaped head on his side of the pond out of the way.

I’m sorry, but he has picked a side and drawn a line in the sand and been very open about it on multiple occasions, and he picked it before he was even elected. This latest formal openness of hostility towards the UK and Europe is just the formal end of Project 2025 which is something that was widely shared and known about before the election.

 

Farage seems to have picked the same side and has been pretty clear about his alignment with Trump as well. 
 

A major problem has been we’ve been told we’re not allowed to use the f word or call a spade a spade for years, or that we’ve been told “he just says these things for attention he doesn’t mean them or follow through” even when he’s been extremely consistent about his viewpoint, because people wanted to bury their heads in the sand about it.

Yep agree, the other Director is in the office 5 days a week so always a senior head around

That, of course, being one of the key weapons of those who either wish for or simply enable that f-word. Obfuscation and denial gives the people with that ideology the time and the freedom to do as they wish. As Trump and his supporters, for one, are doing. 

 

The road to darkness in the 1930s was paved with people saying "overreacting" or "that'll never happen".

Isn’t it pretty lucrative for mining?

I do think that what would have been seen twenty years ago as "a hard taskmaster", is today called a bully.

And particularly over there, where the ones bankrolling and driving that celebrity culture have been and are utterly brutal in their search for money from their "product".

Russia want the lines frozen as they are at a minimum. Trumps plan actually gives them areas bordering luhansk and Donetsk that they don’t control. 

 

I think that for most of this war, Putin has simply wanted to get out of there with his defendable land bridge to Crimea. The current lines give him that.

Free speech baby...USA USA USA

 

 

I am so very glad I'm not looking to go anywhere near while it's still in hock to the death worshipping fascist enablers. 

 

Just hope that this blows up in their faces when they have to vet so many people coming in for the World Cup next year. Humiliation and farce is what they richly deserve.

But with the demands that Ukraine never joins NATO and doesn't expand their armed forces, he also wants the door to be left open to the rest of the country. That is quite rightly the sticking point for Zelenskyy.

a lot of American fascism seems to stem from a deep insecurity that the Euros are saying mean things about them when we should be kissing their arses

You remember the last 2 world cups right? Both pure propaganda exercises in which the press in the uk were all saying “wow, can’t believe how smooth it’s been here” and kissing the Russian and Qatari arses. 
 

The Brazil one before where we did have all the anti-Balsanaro protests had the protests pretty much buried by the media (and those 2014 protests look way more important in hindsight as the ascension of Balsanaro and Erdogan in that summer in 2014 were arguably the start of the age of populism and anti-liberal democracy we’re in now).

Fair point well made tbh. 

 

I guess it's a hope rather than expectation that something might go differently and this administration will get a rather large public humiliation.

I guarantee you that c*** Vance still pops up and says Europe doesn’t have free speech and Americans do just to make this all the more funny . Absolute shite hole America is going to be over the next few years
