@elonmusk Thanks for posting this ,Sir. So we know who decided to leave Ukrainian children defenseless.

9/11 was also the day that our allies like the United Kingdom rose to the occasion, stood by our side, and went to war with us. 457 British troops made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan with many thousands more wounded. Our greatest ally was there in our time of need. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
An honour to represent 🇬🇧 at the Pentagon’s 25th ceremony on the anniversary of 9/11.
The attack on 🇺🇸 was an attack on us all. Although the threat landscape has evolved, our vigilance, values and security collaboration still stands strong. google.com/amp/s/thehill.com…

The most anti British US leader in living memory. Falklands, Northern Ireland, Canada…he should not be appeased

As usual, Trump hasn’t got a clue what he’s talking about.
Past American Presidents have helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland. Now Trump blunders in idiotically, just like he blundered into the Middle East.
Why can’t he just focus on fixing his many blunders at home?

I didn’t become Prime Minister to just make a few tweaks around the edges. I want to change the way this country works.
For too long, politics became comfortable with the idea that some things just can't be fixed. People sleeping on our streets. Huge inequalities between different parts of the country. Young people unable to afford a home. Communities watching decisions about their future being taken somewhere else, by someone else.
Governments have talked about those things. They've even promised to fix them. But too often, they've reached the same conclusion: it just can't be done.
I don't accept that, and I never have.
That’s why we’ve invested to offer everyone who needs it a route off the streets by Christmas.
It's why we've announced the biggest council housebuilding programme since the Second World War.
It's why we're opening 159 new mental health centres.
It's why we've finally put technical education on par with the academic route.
It's why we're delivering the biggest transfer of power out of Westminster and into local communities in a generation.
And it's why we opened No10 North too.
Not as another government office. But because I believe one thing very strongly: Britain won't be rebuilt from the top down.
You have to put power back in the hands of the people and places that know their communities best - and then put the full weight of government behind them.
I also want to give people a bit of breathing space too.
That's why we've cut tax on electricity bills, capped bus fares at £2, and made subscriptions easier to cancel.
It’s why we've cracked down on fake discounts and cut business rates for pubs, social clubs and music venues.
And it's why we've extended the 16-17 Saver Railcard and introduced free 24/7 bus travel for disabled people.
That is the change we have started. More power for our communities, more support on the cost of living and a long-term plan to rebuild the country.
Each one of those changes is part of the same thing.
Good growth in every postcode.
Reindustrialising Britain.
And making sure wherever you live - and whatever your background - you feel this country has a future for you.
Because, in the end, that's what this is about: bringing back hope.

NATO is preparing a response to a possible Russian invasion
The alliance has developed three scenarios in case of a Russian attack, including against the Baltic states. The main goal is to stop the offensive and strike Russian military infrastructure.
According to Bild, the plan includes destroying missile systems and striking airfields, weapons factories, bridges and railways. Kaliningrad is named as one of the possible targets.
NATO wants to create an “autonomous zone” along the border with Russia and Belarus, where drones and robotic equipment would operate predominantly.
The alliance also plans to use drones to strike military targets deep inside Russia.
At the same time, NATO emphasizes that it does not plan to occupy Russian territory. The main objective is to push Russian forces back to the border.
According to Bild, the alliance is deliberately making these plans public so that Moscow understands in advance the price of a possible attack.

The president is making US policy friendlier to North Korea and Russia than Canada and Oman. Are you kidding me?

For the first time, Ukraine has struck targets deep inside Russia using British-made drones, according to The Sunday Times, citing sources in the Ukrainian armed forces.
Among them is the Nyan, a jet-powered drone built by Callen-Lenz in Wiltshire, reportedly used against oil refineries in Volgograd and Yaroslavl. A second British supplier remains unnamed, as does a second, still-classified drone type.
The detail that matters is the timeline. This campaign has apparently been running for six months, quietly, while everyone argued about escalation on television. A senior British defence source told the paper that London wants Moscow to understand it is “no longer nervous” about Russian retaliation.
That is the real story. Not the hardware, but the posture. A European power supplying long-range strike systems and no longer bothering to blush about it. The era of anxious Western hand-wringing appears, finally, to be ending.

The Persians were left behind after being assured that “help is on the way.” They are right to feel as they feel.

Dear Europe, Trump is not your ally or your friend. Just tell him to go to hell. And use blunt language. And go over his head and say that an overwhelming majority of Americans oppose his ridiculous idea of taking over Greenland. Threaten Trump, stand up to him. Now or never.

If it turns out that the US administration encouraged Iranians to fight for freedom and overthrow the IRGC with promises that “help is coming,” then watched tens of thousands die and left them swinging in the wind, this will rank among the most shameful blunders in American history.
Let's hope that isn't what is happening here.
Lindsey Graham is an angry man. He is pretending to be angry at the Arab dictators for pressuring Trump, but the target of his anger is obviously elsewhere.
If the US administration really did lead Iranian protesters down the primrose path by promising them backup—leading to the deaths of tens of thousands—only to then back down and leave them swinging in tbe wind based on what essentially amounts to bribes from Arab dictatorships frightened that their own people might get ideas, there can be no forgiveness, and certainly no peace prizes. And what a pathetic sight it would be: the US humbled by the IRGC for a little oil money.
But it might all just be a feint, exactly like last time. If it is, Lindsey Graham probably knows—and this would be part of the act.

If ever there was a time for western intelligence agencies to leak what they have on Donald Trump (the Moscow Ritz-Carlton, anyone?) this is it.

Hey my European friends and allies. You can choose to boycott American products. Canadians have and it has decimated the US bourbon industry.
The best part of this entire thing is that a consumer driven boycott is capitalism at its finest. A tariff isn't.
Go get 'em 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇪🇺
