Hegseth: "We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective ... the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement."
The USA is no longer a reliable ally for Europe. We must build a European defence capability which is totally independent of the Americans. It will cost European taxpayers to do so, but we must stop fooling ourselves that Trump would ever honour the NATO article 5 commitment.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Imagine if Keir Starmer’s name was in the Epstein files.
But no it’s Farage’s. So nothing to see here.

This unquestioning support for Israel's theft of Palestinian land by the USA, combined with their obsession about oil has caused all the trouble in the middle east over the last 50 years.
Here’s @schumer.senate.gov saying his job is to fight for aid to Israel — which most Dems disagree with… and gives a nod to a “delicate ceasefire” even as people in Gaza are still killed by Israeli bombs daily.

Where are all the investigative journalists who normally would be digging into the latest batch of Epstein Files released, and then many subsequently deleted? All gagged by their billionaire bosses who are protecting trump and other influential republican pedos. The corruption is breathtaking.
