The irony of Itmar Ben-Givr displaying the hanging execution symbol on his lapel is breathtaking.
Given his support for the genocide of Palestinians he may yet find himself regretting his brazen support for executive murder.

It seems there is a deal between Trump and Putin to carve up Ukraine's assets between themselves and the EU is standing in the way of it happening.
In order to spook Ukraine Trump is threatening to withdraw USA support.
This is Europe's moment to stamp its mark!

Trump is upset that Ukraine has so far NOT signed up to his proposal of abdication.
Let me make my feelings on the matter clear. If we fail to support Ukraine to the full extent, including the defeat and withdrawal of Russian troops, I will haunt the European Leaders for letting it happen.

Ukrainian mathematician Maryna Viazovska was born #OTD in 1984.

In 2022, she became the 2nd woman to win the Fields Medal (often described as the Nobel Prize of #mathematics)--for solving the sphere-packing problem in 8 dimensions, a feat that had stumped mathematicians for centuries.

Hegseth is a piece of work. He knows he's in trouble with the real likelihood of being charged with war crimes or murder.
So he's talking up Trump.

If you just tell Putin to stop, get out of Ukraine and pay everything required to rebuild the destruction he has wrought and to provide pensions to the families of people he has murdered, or else you'll nuke his arse out of existence, that should be just about right.

If Ukraine was Russia it would be called Russia. It isn't called Russia, it's called Ukraine. That's because Ukraine is NOT Russia, in fact and by the will of its people, it's UKRAINE.
I hope that helps you understand SOVEREIGNTY, Dmitri.

What traitorous dolts the British rightwing were to oblige Russia and the network of oligarchs who hate the power of EU collaboration and prosperity. Now we find ourselves isolated, the EU weakened and Ukraine being betrayed.

Is the UK being handed over to the USA? It's beginning to feel like it.
Let me be clear, Scotland is a European country. The UK needs to be fully aware of its choices. Scotland is and will continue to be a European country.
I have never in my life been this level of disappointed in the Labour Party.

In my opinion this is the most venal betrayal of a Sovereign Nation, Ukraine, in the pursuit of personal wealth. It sickens me to the core of my being.
These people are a disgrace to humankind. Even animals rise above this level.

It is impossible to effect change of behaviour by appealing to the probity of a psychopath. They have none.
That's why they can do what they do and why the rest of the world suffers.
#Putin, #Trump and others have to be taken out of positions of responsibility and protected in secure establishments.
